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

[.:Macrae:.]

Well thats strange. The blue and white lights on the Empire State Building arent on/working but the red one at the top is. Is that a bug?

[noelgamo]

 

 

 

Window reflection????? Great

 

NIce progress guys.

 

so you guys fixed the Disappearing without loosing water reflection and shadow?

[Arthmx]

the towers should be darker at night like black like the other buildings instead of grey. otherwise, this is awesome

Agreed

[NVX_185]

So does anyone have a fix for the 1.0.7.0 version of this game? It'd really help because this is the latest version of this game and it's incompatible! I'd love to try this mod but it simply isn't working!

 

On the other hand... Good progress guys. Very realistic looking WTC

[XTREME0235]

And to think that this is where it all started!

 

Congratulations Hbx and GTA-Random for getting this far with all the drama's, blood, sweat and tears we got through to this and my god is it beautiful.

 

Also congratulations on reaching over 100 pages!

 

Best regards and thank you for what you guys have done for us and for what you have accomplished,

XTREME0235.

The towers are like this because we still use the old ones that were setup completely wrong (its UV channels are messed up), we are reconverting everything because of this

 

After we do expect towers to have shadows and amazing mix of shaders with almost or even no disapearings!

i simply can't wait for this mod to be finished

 

but how about the roads the towers r on? is that bug with the cars driving trough them gone or is it still there?

[hbx84]

First pictures of the new tower !^^

 

It looks way better, has shadows and water reflections... However it has got some textures bugs, we will see if we can do anything...

 

 

 

 

EDIT 1 : WE FOUND A WAY TO RID OFF DISAPPEARINGS !!! But still some texture bugs... stay tuned^^

 

EDIT 2 : No more dispearing and no more texture bugs... this version will be "perfect" ! lol

looking good.keep up the good work.

[monster875.]

omfg!! that looks fu*king awesome

[NVX_185]

hbx, that first picture with reflections on the WTC is simply astounding. Excellent work mate, please keep it up!

 

Although I hate to bring this up again but please, pretty please, allow for compatibility with 1.0.7 version of GTA4 ! I shouldn't really be complaining because this is free anyway, but hbx, I truly appreciate your work along with the others who have contributed.

 

Please. Guys, keep it up

[noelgamo]

I feel like killing myself right now... i forgot how to import models to IV

hey GtaRandom can you pm me again on how,.....i wanna test my shaders and something ive been scripting this past weeks

[.:Macrae:.]

Looks great! It looks like the real thing. The water reflection and shade looks terrific. Cant wait for the shadows and the people driving through the plaza to be fixed. Is there a date set for next week?

 

And one detail im curious about is the top of the towers. Not the deck, but the colour and metal shape:

 

 

Notice that behind the colums, there is some kind of darkly coloured cage/grill. Will this be on the model?

Edited September 25, 2010 by .:Macrae:.

[ViceDiaz]

yeah that should be on the model.It brings out the towers better.

[noelgamo]

wow guys u are doing a awesome job keep it up

Edited September 25, 2010 by noelgamo

[hbx84]

Do you want to ?

 

So look at that !

 

 

 

Disappearings are dead

[Arthmx]

That's f*ck*ng epic :3

Can't wait

Awesome work

[ViceDiaz]

HBX,don't forget to add this design to the top of the towers.It looks exactly like the trident arches from the lobby.It would bring the towers out even better.

excellent work hbx.looks great.

[EncryptedReality]

And i did some 2dfx lights test:

 

 

 

[noelgamo]

did you made the light in max and export it with the model?

 

good job guys....

 

yo HBX mebe you should make a plane normal map(bump map) for the metal thingy in the arches......so it the reflection looks more metalish and whut are you using for the Specular map....dont use a plain white one cuz it will over power the glossiness of it

i know this cuz when Random xplained me how you guys did it... its just like converting a car to IV and i know how to

 

once again goood job.....

[RoMa_NdEr_CoRe<3]

hi, sorry for my absence, but I could still connect lately. However I see very good progress! Good job

however the top of the towers missing should absolutely add it. =)

Do you mean you wont be adding it or do you mean you wont forget to?

 

 

Oh, one other thing i'd forgotten about was the disappearance of LOD's and other things when looking through collisions (the collisions of the buildings that used to be there. Have you managed to fix it? Im not seeing any disappearance in your screenhots, so it certainly looks like its fixed

Sides added on WTC 1... the reflects are really beautiful !!

[noelgamo]

the towers looks newly built with chrome finish

great job on that HBX.

 

[EncryptedReality]

Yo , guys here are some more 2dfx tests (reason im doing this is because we plan to put these on top of the wtc tower where the antenna is, it will light the antenna).

 

 

 

 

 

Light shadowing compute test:
