[WIP] Vice IV

[MrSmarter22]

GTARandom listen: Men i m gettinh crazy devil.gif First my game crashed in the load screens when i putted all right in the files than i reinstalled it and now when i put all again in it i click 2 times on the exe the social club comes and then a Black Background than it comes EFLC doesent work error or something but before i reinstalled the game it doesnt comes error like this before i loadet the game cryani.gif and GTARandom you dont know what i mean OG Ghost Dog asked for the main.scm like in San Andreas and the main.scm is in GTA IV script.img you know i didnt said Skript Hooked or something -.- can you help me i dont have an idea ;(

[nkjellman]

Someone should make a script that has teleporters at the spawn points for the safe houses and they place you at a point that would be more realistic than mid air falling into the water. Someone should change where it says in the title screen "Episodes from Liberty City" to Episodes from Vice City" and insted of Johnny and Luis it shows Tommy and Vic. Anyway this is looking great. Also I know it will work for IV and I am making an install of IV for this mod but will it work on EFLC?

[EncryptedReality]

This is gonna turn into a support center... Anyway your pc/textures folder might be damaged or one of the wtd in it. usually a reboot helps (not always) as we had those issues too but rarely. Here is proof , .dll used here. http://www.xfire.com/video/3ec947/

heres my directory am i missing something?

[OG_GhostDog]

It seems you have the vegetation from IV turned on and distantlights.dat . Remove distantlights.dat from pc/data/paths and in images.txt check that all veg sections are removed of IV. About crashes: we mentioned that before release.

 

 

flnyla, u tried this?

Scrach that 2 minuets

Also many buildings are missing on the street where Ocean Hotel is.

I have no doubts that on a GTA 4 clean install it will work, if u have a save-game. I am still looking forward for this mod, it should come out great. I think no other game made you feel like...you were livin` it. Maybe that`s why i love VC so much. I just love that `80s music. The VC story-line was awesome, Ray Liotta did a great job, it was fun, thrilling, amusing. Why the hell wouldnt u love that Vice City atmosphere? R* did a great job when they released that game, and im sure this mod will bring back a lot of great memories and feelings.

 

We all know this is still WIP, and i bet that all the ppl that were asking for a beta release are thankful.

I get the stupidist error. The instsaller wont extrack the files. It just acts like it extracts them and all I get are two uninstall files. WTF! Can anyone help?

If only this exact problem and a fix had been mention on the previous pages.

Yeah it seems you have to install it to the GTA IV folder or else it won't extract a thing

also I still get disappearing buildings and niko also if you walk on the col its like if the game is playing the stairs animation

I will wait for a patch until then please fix everything and guys stop whining this is what you get for whining!

[Dingleman]

I'm getting some odd problems after installing. It seems that all the themes (load screens, hud, menus) are suited to the mod but I still seem to be playing in LC. Any ideas?

 

Also congratulations on the release, by the looks of the photos this mod could be on its way to the best there will ever be for IV.

 

NEXT TO IMMEDIATE EDIT: Dont worry about my problem, it was a simple mistake on my part .

 

Great mod guys!

As I was about to rename my program files folder to program files (x86) I saw a folder that was named program files (x86). Opened it up and there was Rockstar Games and I opend that up and there was Grand Theft Auto IV. Inside of it were the files for Vice IV. If you have that copy the files to your GTA directry that you wish to install ViceIV

 

Secondly hear is my idea of cols in RAGE.

I think IV has many tipes of cols. I think the only cols that are cracked are the ones for curbs and steps. Thats why niko steps down and he looks like hes floating. Also in the normal game its so Niko does not look like he is walking normaly up curbs and steps.. I beleve that the cols for curbs and steps have only been cracked. This makes me think that the game has many different types of cols for the different types of matereal. The camra can move thrugh evrything because there are cols for the camra. Thats just my hypothisis about the cols for RAGE. Also I remember glitching out of the map in Red Dead Redemption and there were cols that would make the player slide. In Red Dead if you go up a steap sloap your guy will slide back down. So parts of the ground out side the map had cols for sliding so you slide down. This is how the game can determan how the player will move and how his feet interact with the ground. One other thing is RAGE may have seprite cols for climbing ledges. In Vice IV or any of the other maps that use new objects in the game you cant climb ledges aka hop over fences. Thats just my hypothisis about the cols for RAGE. I hope that that helps the people who are working on cols.

Does anyone agree?

Does anyone agree?

They've used the same thing for years since GTA 3.

 

GTA IV has lots of types of COL

 

Concrete

Wood

Vegetation.....

 

 

I don't know why this is happening I can't enjoy the mod lol

 

 

 

EDIT:

By the way what files does the mod change???

I want to make my game go back to normal lol

Well your going to have to reinstall. Also you may want to try to use uninstall.exe first. But you can make a GTA IV directory thats normal and one that has this mod on it like I did.

 

About the cols. You may not know that yet. IV has mor advanced anims and is a completly different engine from 3. Even tho RAGE was probaly started from SA's engine as a base kinda like the Xbox fermware was made from Windows 2000 as a base. IV does seem to have many cols and the steping in this, the camra going thrugh evrything and the slip n slide glitch outside of the map in Red Dead Redemption make me beleve that. They both use RAGE.

[win001]

Have a problem. So I installed it today and it installed on a different folder called Grand Theft Auto IV instead of EFLC. What do I do with the scripts folder, just transfer it?

 

Edit: Tried it and when it was loading it crashed with no error.

 

Edit 2: Finally worked when i changed eflc folder to grand theft auto iv. But it said autoload not available so I started a new game and when it was loading ''Loading failed. Starting a new game'' a second later it crashed!

Uhh no, download Shadow Plugins and see for yourself there are many type of cols.

also I need to know because my brother has IV and well im gonna get the files from him that's why I don't do backups anymore lol

Once you get a directory you can make as many copys of it as you like. I beleve its just radar.img, vehicles.img, some loading screens, american.gxt, fonts.dat, hud color.dat, and gta.dat. The files for the map were added and gta.dat shut off Liberty City and enabled Vice City.

 

And with the cols I was saying that it does have many types of cols. Shadow may not of cracked them all yet. For example this has no cols for the camra so you can look thrugh evrything.

And Red Dead Redemption has those sliding cols for sharp slopes. Now that I think of it in the original Vice City remember the eskalators in the mall. You stand on them and you move. I remember one eskelator was glitched and had statonary cols so I stayed in place instead of moving. But Im not sure if it was Vice City.

[alik]

 

Please, send full game with the established updating to the Internet, and that I cannot establish updating

What?

Excuse that that I not clearly speak, because I speak Russian, English I do not know, I translate program PROMT

 

Game with the established dandy is necessary to me, and for this purpose I am compelled to ask that who that has loaded for me this game

Edited January 11, 2011 by alik

[flnyla]

Any one crash after a min?

[nkjellman]

I crash in certan areas. When textures disapear alot then turn around or crash. I have crashed so far Downtown, East side of Starfish, Bridge leading away from leaf links, and the stadium. Ive crashed so far in those areas. Yes the mods buggy but at least we know what Vice City looks like. Also It was less noticable in the screens but when I play the game on full screen Its pritty darn low poly. Rage showes it more than Vice City because it has the bright side of objects that sun shines on and the dark side in the shadows. But it still looks great. Lods should be fixed too. But hey. First beta and it has the wholl map. Its looking great.

WTF it looks like your game is trying to load EFLC like its the normal GTA IV. It says it cant load the DLC so it wants to start GTA Episodes From Liverty City like its the original GTA IV but calling it EFLC. (AKA loading the original files)

Edited January 11, 2011 by nkjellman

[quechus13]

EFLC has a registry key you can't just rename it to GTA IV.

 

In the installer try renaming it to EFLC's folder NOT the game's folder.

[alik]

Please, make the instruction on installation

[leon017]

Please, make the instruction on installation

Yes, please can you do that? There are so many people who can't install it.

[quechus13]

I think that GTARandom should just make a RAR file with the files so that we can install it manually sometimes installers suck a lot.

[mateus560276]

GTARandom, I tried all the scripts you posted for startup, but all the scripts crash the game. Any solutions?

[OG_GhostDog]

load a game, if u have a saved one. I, for one, dont have any :| or remove viceIVstartup script.
