mr_helm Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone! I am currently working on a small project to recolour the map in IV. The reason why I am doing this is because the old map colours I found were boring. Its going to make the map, in my mind, alot easier to follow if, for some reason, you have trouble getting through Liberty. I have different colours for different things listed below. Current Projects: My different colour sets are as followed, each line is considered a group. Each group has its own colours. -Major routes/highway's & Bridges -Elevated Rail and Subway -Parks -Water -Special Buildings -Roads -Path's -Airport Begin Date- March 12, 2010 Finish Date- n/a I expect this to take me at least a month to complete, as I wont be working on it for more than an hour or two a day, and there are over a hundred different sections I have to complete. Previews- Sorry for this small preview, I thought that it would show up differently. Complete/Total 66/126 Coming Soon: When this project is over I have already began planning my next project. It is going to have all the spots for Stunt Jumps, Pigeons, Armour, Health, and Weapons right on the HUD. So if you are walking down a path you can see if there is a weapon or not. I will not specify what type of weapon it is. This project will take me a few days to complete. Download's: Check back soon!

Braindawg Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 i dont like it... the colors dont seem to fit the style. try orange/light red/bright yellow type of colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_helm Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) yea, I copied this from my other post at GPM, Ill update my preview in a minute, the colours are changed after i noticed the green was WAY to bright along with the yellow. Major routes are now red, normal roads are a weird deep green. But it sucks because I can't go too bright or else it will look like crap. Give me a bit and Ill get a different preview. UPDATE: Here we are, this pretty much shows all colours, except water, this is the Start menu map. The in-game map looks MUCH better than the preview in the previous post.

mr_helm Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 46% I am pleased to announce that I had a ton of success with my mod today. I got a total of 20 additional map peices complete. coming soon... When ever you are in a mission, or running away from the cops, chances are you will need to heal yourself, or you will need ammo. Well my next project is to help you out. Just look for these icons... [HEALTH][AMMO][ARMOUR][PIGEON] Chances are I will also add the special jumps as well, if you can think of anything I should put in like above, the please let me know!

MadcapSmoky22 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I love the concept as I'm bored of IV GPS map too, keep it up mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_helm Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks for the feed back everyone. @M_Nation and I guess everyone, I plan to release it on the normal IV style map, and my new map. The only question is, is should I put in the pigeons and stunt jumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braindawg Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ye srsly why not? we all wanna know the locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_helm Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Alright, so is there anything else I should put on there? So far I have the Health, Ammo, Weapons, Pigeons, and Stunt Jumps, can you think of something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadcapSmoky22 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Will the markers for for example stunt jumps dissapear if you'll complete it? If yes, add Stevie cars. Oh and would be uber cool- if you could put markers for good shootouting hideouts for fun, I'll give you link to topic with their locations. Hmmm.... I think that's all.

mr_helm Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Madcap- the icons will still be on the map. Im changing the actual map itself. I have absolutely no experience in coding unfortunately. But hey, its still fun to go off of the stunt jumps. When ever Im driving down star junction I always go off the little jump.

mr_helm Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 True, not everyone is going to like everything everyone does, if they did, the world would be boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_735 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I wouldn't be too sure about adding the Pigeons/Stunt Jumps, as you said, they'll still be there long after you've got them and there are many ASI Scrips out there that place markers on the Radar anyway for these, Health, Armour and Weapons though, that constantly respawn, is a good idea.

mr_helm Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Just so everyone knows Im releasing my coloured map first without any blips on it. I will release my map and the IV map with blips on it shortly after this release. True ash. Im thinking that Im going to release several different map types. This is how I plan to release them: One will have my new colours+Wep/Health/Ammo Another my new colours + Wep/Health/Ammo/Pigeons and Stunts Another normal IV colours + Wep/Health/Ammo And finally normal IV with Wep/Health/Ammo/Pigeons and Stunts That way I can please most people. oh, and 53% I got 66/126 done so far not too much longer and it shall be released! I didnt realize how crazy boring this project can be. It gets pretty tedious sometimes with the stupid little angles, I definitly have alot of respect for the people that had to make the map in the beginning.

MadcapSmoky22 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I hope you'll recolour the water to blue, like in VC. It will look f*cking awesome, rly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_helm Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 62% Almost done folks, now I know its at 62% however, about half of the pieces I have left are small and wont take very long to complete. I didnt get to work on it as much I would have liked this weekend. But it shouldn't take too much longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
