[REL/WIP|IV/EFLC] World Trade Center Mod 0.3

[.:Macrae:.]

 

Those are LOD's and you would have to delete that LOD file for that specific object.

After about ten attemps, it s a SUCESS !

(because I made several modifications which involved lags, bugs...)

 

I will make real tests tomorrow, I think a very beta version will be released in a week...

Exciting stuff man!! i seriously cant wait until a beta. And as for that slope, the world trade center had a parking garage underneath it at the highway. Just build over that slop and see about making that parking garage.

I cant wait until an early beta of this appears! this has to be the greatest 3D model iv ever seen. So in the final (or partially in the beta) are you going to have most of the plaza? like WTC 3, 4, 5 and 6?

 

I would have said 7 aswell but where would that even go? the space in GTA IV is abit limited in the financial area.

Wow perfect design for the roads around the plaza!!. Lets hope that IV COL files get figured out soon so it will be physical aswell

 

And once again, im shaking with excitment over this. Its a truely incredible mod that i cant wait to see

[TRUETK]

this is a very fascinating mod. I love it from the images so far. It will definitely bring back some uniqueness to New York and even GTA itself. Very nice job . I don't wanna sound eager for a release or anything, but from the images posted so far what percentage would u say you are at? I love seeing a work in progress

[Vanilla Shake]

This is looking great and is a good idea. However, speaking as a New Yorker, deleting a certain building will take away from the NY vibe of the game. In my honest opinion at least. That building is the Woolworth Building.

I urge you to not replace this building for the World Trade Center. There aren't many buildings in the game that have the unique style that this, the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building possess. There are already a ton of modern skyscrapers in Algonquin, so I'd choose two buildings to the south of the site.

wow that's awesome and by the way can you tell us how did you delete that low detailed model too?

 

I just deleted the line "LOD_objecttodelete" in a manhattxx.ide file (for my mod manhat02.ide, ine pc/data/maps/manhattan)

 

 

Wow perfect design for the roads around the plaza!!.

 

I didn't model these roads, I exported them from the game... I take this photo to show us the form of the plazza

 

 

but from the images posted so far what percentage would u say you are at?

I don't know AT ALL ^^ I'd maybe say it later...

 

 

deleting a certain building will take away from the NY vibe of the game. That building is the Woolworth Building

I know, this building is very pretty, and deleting this one makes me sorrow... I think I will move it beside the plazza...

[amd74]

any news?

[hbx84]

actually I am clearing the map...

[hbx84]

GTARandom, can you explain me how to put a model in GRA IV from 3Ds max ?

 

I have to convert it in .wdr with zmodeler ?

[FV Mods]

You just make txd (wtd) in G-Texture and dff in 3dsmax using KAM's Scripts (same as if you are creating for SA) and export it than do this:

Get G-Texture and a photoshop plugin if you have it for DDS (DirectDraw Surface) and save all textures and make new WTD in G-Texture using these.

Than i receommend using Shadow Mapper which PrinceLink made , and in it add the files both dff (it converts to wdr automaticly) and wtd (txd) from G-Texture to the IV archive (Resource Browser) and than add the ide file it will ask u to find the files u just added so do that but NOTE you got to restart the program each time you add a wdr or wtd (save beforehand) than do the ide thing , and same for ipl , and last thing render the wpl scene file where u added the files and place your model.

 

Thats about it , Regards

HYA GREAT ADVICE FOR hbx84

my idea is :

[hbx84]

You know what, ipman66 ? That s what I wanted to do... x) thank you nevertheless

 

GTARamdom : wow thank you but for the DDS plugin, I don't understand... I have installed it but I can't find it anywhere in Photoshop... Is there something special to do ? ^o)

[FV Mods]

Get them here and install them to Photoshop's plugins folder , than when saving click Save As and DXT1 or 3 formats but mostly IV uses DXT3.

[hbx84]

The problem is that I don't have anything... T.T

 

[FV Mods]

It must be there when plugin installed.

[hbx84]

It must be there when plugin installed.

Humm that s not normal...

 

I will ask it on an other forum...

[ipman66]

mybe this can help

 

[FV Mods]

Models dont work right when imported trough SparkIV i tried.

[TRUETK]

This may be a dumb question, but i'm unsure right now. Hbx84, are you making every floor accessible?

[ipman66]

i see thats he just doing 3 floors the 1,2 & the 109 before the last then stairs to the roof

[.:Macrae:.]

This may be a dumb question, but i'm unsure right now. Hbx84, are you making every floor accessible?

I think that would take a long long time, probably to long. But i would like to see a few floors with office stuff to add to the effect.

 

And is it possible to make paths for peds yet? it would be awesome if we could get those tourists with cameras and business people to walk around the plaza

[Masny]

Maybe you can make one floor and copy these 100 times ;D

 

[hbx84]

Because of the polygons number...

[XTREME0235]

Really can not wait for this hbx84, this will be a very great and popular modification for GTA IV if it goes well.

I'm just thinking on how big the download file will be when released, 20MB or over perhaps? who knows, only time will tell.

[.:Macrae:.]

 

Because of the polygons number...

Wow i'd forgotten about that too. GTA IV would probably run at 2-10 FPS if all 220 floors of the towers were in-game. I cant even imagine the polygon level.
