[WIP|IV-EFLC] Gostown Paradise

[flak0x]

Has anyone gotten multiplayer to work with this

[flak0x]

What's the latest update with this mod?

[BBHD]

Mod's development is suspended at this moment.

I'm working on MP server I let you know about that in few times.

[flak0x]

Thanks alot man that'd be amazing

[MenuET]

Starting from now, the mod is start to walk again, resuming: it is not dead anymore, at least while i develop.

"Who the F* are you?"

I am one of the city modelers. I was invited by terreur to make part of this mod since january 2013, but unfortunatelly i had to go out for a while (a what BIG while, january 2013 until NOW), because i couldn't have access to my computer where the dev files were. It is a shame the mod stopped during the time i was out, but from now, the mod will keep walking (like Johnnie Walker, LOL). At least from my part.

 

My goal here in this map is to rescue the old Gostown (Gostown6) brightness. I work with almost the same techniques ParoXum and JostVice used to do the mod first version, and with the best 3dsMAX can bring, to push RAGE engine to the limit, as Gostown6 did with SA in its glory moments. I will also bring the best of FSX and Garry's Mod modding techniques (actually, Source engine will be my tester). I'll try to bring the best of synergy modeling-materials-lighting to the mod, and fill Gostown not just with details (by the way, it will be a LOT!) but with good playability, with interiors at almost any buildings (just in case of RP Servers usage) including Airport (just working right now) Police Station(For LCPDFR Fans), Hospitals and all the stuff. But before i'll work on the buildings of new city added

 

It is not guaranteed that the map will even be ready to the final public, so all i can promisse is that i'll do my best every day while i still can do the mod.

 

Thank You,

Hi, I'm Jase and this is the first time I'm posting here. Just wanted to inform anyone who's interested about about some little mods I've created for Gostown Paradise.

I am a huge fan of buses so the thing I spend most of my time doing in GTA is bus driving/roleplay. I've created a bus company for Gostown called Gostown Buses.

I've already added multiple different buses to the company's fleet.

Here is a video I created yesterday showcasing them..

I take no credit for the actual bus models, I created the liveries. Of course, the Gostown logo is copyright of whoever created it. If anyone is interested in downloading any of the buses they're in the description of the video (original download places not reuploads obviously). If anyone would like to have the liveries for them then I'll get them uploaded onto mega so you can download them.

I'm also going to do some nice liveries for some ELS V8 police vehicles and fire engines and ambulance when I have some spare time and the taxis too.

It's not a mod for the map no, but it's still something which keeps modding activity alive from my part. Really hope that people like the livery. I thought to make it that design because it represents exactly the location it's in, a rural area.

I'm going to try and create a bus station and bus depot too and add more bus stops around the map. I only understand how to place objects with the trainer so I'm not that fantastic but if I do my best is there anyone that may be able to improve on it and add it into the map so it's not an objects.ini?

Hope that my contribution is appreciated

Edit: Here are some pictures of some of the buses

 

 

And here is some vans I created liveries for also. (obviously bus companies have vans for when buses break down etc)

Hi jase and welcome to GTAF board !
Glad to see someone interested by Gostown, a mod left in vault for long time now !!
Your buses look great, i'll dl and try it when i have time to.
So, if you wanna give some contribution to Gostown you should try to contact Terreur or MenuET.
Maybe they gonna give you more information about modding, mapping and blah blah !
See ya on the board

Thanks I haven't uploaded the buses liveries just yet but I will certainly do so once I've finished making liveries for all the buses I want to use.

 

I sure do hope I learn about mapping scripting and modelling etc as I'll certainly carry on using the Gostown paradise map to add onto. Currently I'm unable to spend much time in the big city high up as it crashes practically straight off.

 

What I would love to see when GTA V is out for PC, once we are able to modify it, is Liberty City ported with Gostown as well in the same map which you can get too and from the city and Island via a car ferry (like how Euro Truck Simulator is). I think that'd be so cool as I'm just in love with Gostown and Liberty City.

 

Hopefully GTA V will be A LOT more stable than GTA IV. I'd actually be surprised if it's not because we are talking about 64bit here, not 32bit which GTA IV is, so it'll be able to take advantage of all your computer's RAM rather than just 4gb of it.

 

I certainly seem to be getting better performance from Gostown than Liberty City as I can even play it on 1440p for a while before the frames become really slow when in Liberty City I keep it onto 720p to avoid frame drops.

 

I'll certainly send Terreur a message, probably tomorrow though as it's late.

 

Sure can't wait for the day to come when it's available on EFLC as I can imagine it will be more stable due to the one reason, the limit. I'm pretty sure that it will come the day when Gostown is completed, whether on IV/EFLC or V, I'm sure it will

[BBHD]

As i know with this post from MenuET, Gostown project will continue, i wish !!
Me too i'm in love with this mod, i was a beta tester on it.
When Terreur told me that the project stopped i changed my way to Criminal Russia RAGE project from Mixazzz.

A huge map on RAGE engine about Russian environment.

If you don't know you should try it, i spend a lot of gaming time and fun like on Gostown !

[Jasewolf]

I'll install that map too and I'll do a bus company for that one as well.

 

Going to also install SA map and VC map for GTA IV and create bus companies for those too (I would do it in the actual games but RAGE is so much superior.

 

The main bus company I've made for Liberty City (I have made quite a few which are based on the companies and routes that service my local area) is called Liberty Buses.

 

Here's a video I did of all the buses in the depot (guess where it is)

 

 

I also have Clockwork Mount installed due to it being an add on to the map and being rural. Such an amazing map to drive along and at the top of it where the road finishes there is a big open space which I use for a bus station.

Clockwork Mount is serviced by Liberty Buzz. Their real life life counterpart services along very rural roads and villages between towns. So that's why I use clockwork mount to add rural routes to the journey

I've since updated that bus station a lot but here's a video I done of the first version of the bus station (really would be helpful if I knew how to make spawn points lol)

Edit: Here are some pictures of some of the buses

 

I am not focusing on vehicles right now, Besides i have ideas for the transportation, and the buses fit quite well in one of them. Send me later the livery texture and poke me. I

 

BTW: I am not showing mod images because i am focusing in other things, also important. I want to do a lot of things before showing them all. I have been faced some problems along the path, and the majority of the time was me trying to solve them. Terreur didn't send me all the files i needed and he vanished, so i have to be a magician to solve everything.

Again, don't expect me to finish everything. I will do the possible, but i am alone now.

If you need, Terreur gave me some files, maybe i've what you need !

And so, you're alone... Take your time !

I stupidly decided to press on save game from the trainer by the safe house thinking that will spawn me by it when I load the game. It kind of worked the first few times but now it just locks up GTA when it loads. There is no save game file in the savegame folder. Any ideas how I delete the save game that the trainer created? Would it possibly be in the save game location that non xlive GTA IV uses?


Edit: That's exactly what happened. Ok so the trainer saves in the original location not in the location xliveless uses. Know to not use that again. Now it's stuck on the starting new game screen. Time to figure out that now lol.

 

Edit: Managed to get it working again after the third attempt of deleting the whole game folder and doing all over again (no idea why it took that many tries).

Hi dude ! I made the Gostown logo and the License plate. So you can credit me !

 

Nice work, so nice to see my work and projects !

[Jasewolf]

Basicaly, savegames are in \Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames, named SGTA4XX

 

Managed to get it back working again on the 3rd attempt of replacing with my backup install and redoing it all over lol.

 

Does anyone know what traffic fix scripts work with gostown? I have tried traffic flow and the only thing that works is the police/fire/ambulance emergencies. I am fed up of seen non stop limos, taxis, other cars and no buses lol. I have also tried Trafficload (with Traffic flow) which allows adding added vehicles into the traffic (works perfectly together with traffic flow in LC and Criminal Russia) but that again works not at all in Gostown. Any ideas what works?

 

(I've edited the cargrp file to make buses spawn regularly which is good)

 

Got my first taxi done. P.s I cannot remember who created this (I didn't) but hopefully I will find where I downloaded it lol.

 

The colours looking dull compared to my other screens as haven't put realistic time cycle back yet

 

II have done some police vehicles now. Sadly ELS v8 crashes gostown so I have had to use non els cars. I think the GTA V cars go absolutely incredible with this livery and with Gostown!

 

And have used an FBI edited Yosemite too which really fits the part.

Some screens about today's progress:

 

 

 

 

A Condo Tower

The buggy sections was because i accidentally erased some polys (and ended up with almost the whole facade) Plans to fix it on tonight or tomorrow.

 

@Jasewolf: Great work with buses, and now with the taxis. Let's do later on photoshop a better police car art, everything is great, colors and stuff, but i think just the yellow star is still poor. When i finish the stuff we will start doing some art. Send your skype via PM

Next creation will be to bus fans like you: A bus terminal

And next one later will be to LCPDFR Fans: A complete Police Station w/ ints

Gosh that will be amazing! And well done with the fantastic modelling!!

 

I do agree completely about the sheriff star, it can be improved on a lot. But the colours certainly do go brilliantly.

 

I've also used the GTA V vapid cruiser taxi as seen below (I know it's a crushed up one xd but only just got kicked out of my game I'll post some more screens in the morning.)

 

Also did a really nice Ambulance which I actually am really proud with as it is a similar colour green to the ambulances in UK

 

I also have edited the GTA IV fire truck changing FDLC to FDGT and the logos on the doors to Fire Dept. Gostown.

 

So excited about a bus terminal which i'm guessing you mean as a bus depot which will be fantastic. I can think of a couple different places where a bus station would be useful. By the Airport where the parking spaces are at the side of the road just before the carpark, that could fit better as a bus station in my opinion (with a taxi rank just opposite where the current bus stop is.

 

Another place where a bus station would be really good is in the second town on the second island. A Bus station would be great also downtown as well as a depot, though downtown it could work as a depot and bus station together.

 

I am so glad that I did redo the install of Gostown as like I am sure you noticed I'm able to get up to Downtown now with just a lot of dropped frames.

When I said i'm not so good at police liveries, I think I just proved that wrong haha.

 

Say hello to my Updated Gostown police logo (just calling it police now)

I also have created an updated Gostown Buses/Taxis logo in addiction to a Gostown Sightseeing logo for the sightseeing buses etc.

 

 

It is going to look a lot better on the buses and taxis!!

 

I just am so impressed with myself over that Gostown logo enchancemant. The original Gostown logo is spot on for a stand alone logo etc, but for a logo on vehicles, a flater look so goes with it amazingly well!

 

The police logo, the palm image, I got from Http://pixabay.com

That is an absolute amazing website for public domain images. If I am not using my own images, I majority of the time use images from Pixabay because it's the best public domain image site I've seen.

 

Hopefully when the time comes when the vehicles are all complete, those that are other people's vehicles hopefully we can get permission to bundle in with Gostown so people don't have to do it all manual, downloading each individual vehicle and adding the liveries and other needed files to them

What do you mean AA?

 

And it will be more smooth when it's on a vehicle as it'll be a smaller size and on a few of the vehicles it'll be tiny size so it will totally look much smoother than on it's own on a white back group in a big size
