[WIP|IV-EFLC] Gostown Paradise

[Jasewolf]

Some very basic work on Photoshop

 

First try to make a Gostown flag (First version). A flag will be useful as basis for another Gostown logotypes, such as the police logo

That is an awesome idea! Yea we do need a flag for Gostown. The logo I created, I've saved it as a paint.net project as well as png of course so I can open it back up with all the layers. Then I can place the flag in the middle as it certainly does need a better image than that palm image, which although I think looks good, still could be better

 

I may eventually start using photoshop for textures, but right now I just am more into using Paint.NET for doing that, as well that I have photoshop on OS X rather than Windows so I'd be a pain when I'm always in out in out of openIV

Just installed and tried it

sh*ts f*cking awesome!!! great work amigos

Gosh this was fun, 5 hours 36 minute boottime AV scan ending up that a dodgy exe was in my trash :L No idea what that was from but everything else on my Mac, spot free lol.

Just to not let the topic die.

 

Starting with photoshop since a week ago. My processor fried since then and i am on a computer that don't support 3dsMAX. So, the all i can work by now is on PS.

 

That is a very poor radio station concept. Working by now on logos and ad banners. As you all can see, my work stiil is very poor and ugly, but my plans is to get better on it until next week just by trial and error.

I'd say that is brilliant! A very nice, simplistic logo, as in reality radio station logos aren't really that funky like in GTA, usually they are damn boring lol Edited September 4, 2014 by Jasewolf

By now, i will only work with PS, because of my PC prroblem. I'll try to do at least 3 or 4 pics a day. Still need to practice a lot

Shame that that your computer decided to cook the CPU for dinner. The amount of things everyone does in their free time is just amazing I'm giving GTA etc quite a break as I been in the house for a month basically and been waking up dead late too. So I'm giving this all quite a big rest. Back out and about spending time on buses etc. I'll finish what I started, finish off all the bus liveries etc but I think that I may only spend Sundays on doing this and other things as that's the day my buses don't run. That should be enough time for creating bus liveries and things though as it doesn't take a massive amount of time creating liveries (just at the start when you're working out which part of the template is which on the vehicle which isn't always clear especially with vans).

Some custom vehicles like the classic cheetah. And the phone of michael from prologue

[TJGM]

What does any of those suggestions have to do with the iPhone banner?

Hi, developers, i see the atmosphere of original mod is almost dead in it. I tthink you shouldn't add so many features of the real world and especiallyof our time. I mean i-phone billboard, new buses and so on. It doesn't have a mistery atmosphere of semi-civil island, now it's just modern city in the mountains. Sorry for negative, but it's my opinion of what i see now.

Buses and Logotypes just are something i am starting to discuss, not something concrete. About the Billboards, it make part of the map (as every city may have banners for outdoor banners) and it is just something to train my PS and Corel skills, not something concrete. As my work is raise up buildings and ints around all the city map, my main goal is to just build structures. Everything else (buses, police cars, buses photos ingame....) is nothing more than a concept, raw ideas, not something to be shown in the game. I am just the city modeler, and i'll keep as a city modeler until my work is finished.

Sorry for the double post:

 

I am also sorry for the content quality decay, as i had some drawbacks with my computer, and also i have more things to do than that MOD. I hope start doing something soon, as i am occupied learning other tools and start doing materials and maps (As you all can see, i still have none, and the Gostown6SA version of these materials are just terrible). I hope bringing the old Gostown6 fury very soon, first finishing the buildings and interiors, which is my work, and, if Terreur don't go back to work with the mod, i think i can do some improvements with the map, as the nature and island materials looks too old for the new engine, and even for the GTAV engine (ohhh, yeah!). Also by last do some new things (as TV Channels, Radios, Characters, Cars, and etcetera). Remembering maybe i can didn't do everything, even from my part (Buildings and ints), but i'll keep working until that day, and hope that day never arrive.

Hi, I was one of the Gostown Paradise script (SCO) coders.

I'm pleasantly surprised that some guys still keep this great mod alive

 

Question:

Please can anyone tell me whether there are paths for the upper city? It's a long time ago I've played this mod and I can't remember that...

 

EDIT:

PS: I know that cars are unable to drive in this height / altitude. I can't promise anything but maybe there is a scripted solution for this problem...

The cars can't drive around upper city? So because of that we don't see cars at the upper town? That is new for me, i had no idea.

So that is why Terreur asked me to do buildings only the lower town

 

It will be awesome if you can achieve it. But i think the main problem with Gostown today is the huge amount of cars on the roads. You can't even drive straignt on road without being jammed.

 

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

As long as you have the traffic density down to something like 20 it actually isn't that bad at all. I'm able to drive buses around the map without needing to do any overtaking. I just stay driving at the same pace as the rest haha.

 

Sorry for the long time no contribution, haven't felt like playing GTA since August, am so busy with college, being out and about taking as much pictures of the buses by me as possible (they're not going to be around any longer so I not got a moment to lose getting pics) and spending more of my time hanging around with my friends.

 

All my vehicle liveries I have done I'll try to upload at some point. Can't give any promises when, but I will and most likely that'll be when I get around to creating liveries again as I've got a lot of new bus companies to make liveries for haha.

So much prefer spending my time in the real world than a virtual world, but Gostown never fails to be my favourite virtual world out of all lol.

 

Edit:

 

Spent today creating a new bus livery for one of the new bus liveries that one of my bus companies are now using for one of their routes.

It's so damn typical, I've not played GTA since end of August, and I decide to today. I get as far as trying to spawn one of my buses and crash. I know I can sort that out if I spend enough time but then no wonder I keep end up hating playing that game and leave it for months.. I really hope that GTA V won't be so unstable so easy when you add mods to it. Love the game but hate it for keep pushing me away after spending so much effort trying to sort it out. Talk about a love and hate relationship ._. XD

Hi, I had already fixed that... don't know why it don't work for you - maybe there is an old SCO in Beta2 ?!? No idea - and I can't check it now because I have deleted GP months ago... anyway!

Here is an old solution: CLICK HERE (use the "Traffic Control" mod - should work for Beta2 too)

 

 

Does Gostown also have the issue where only 10 different cars drive on the streets? I never understood how that system works, you can have 30 different vehicles in your cargrp zone, but only 10 will show up. In fact, I don't understand zones at all, did you figure that system ever out Skorpro?

 

You don't understand zones at all? Me too The only thing I know is that "cargrp.dat" dependent on "pedgrp.dat" (QUOTE: "...description: For each type of ped (worker, clubber etc) we maintain a list of the cars they might drive...") and the ped pop. types you can set with "SET_ZONE_POPULATION_TYPE"...

 

But the "10 different cars" problem was fixed too... if I'm not mistaken... When I get enough time I will download & install this mod again and check the scripts.

 

 

Back to my question Are there paths for the upper city?

Good to know the car problem has been solved. Actually don't have Gostown Beta2.

 

About the paths, i really don't know, as i am just the city modeler. Didn't made the paths and don't have the proper files to tell you that.

[spreilly]

Just a question

 

Since EFLC has the higher car path allowance (you can set car paths higher), will you update Gostown Paradise to EFLC? That'll allow you to make cars spawn in the main city.

Actually, as a city modeler, i am focusing first on the city, buildings and interiors (it has a huge lack of them). When i finish everything and if Terreur still don't show up, i'll drive the project. So i have two options:

 

-As the final city will have full interiors, like Police Stations, Airports, hundreds of apartments, and so on, focus the map for a HUGE multiplayer RP server. Allow it only for multiplayer modes. It will save time and work, and will solve the problem.

or,

-As the city will be ready, migrate it for a new project, the ParoXum's golden eyes girl, Gostown 7.

As the upper city height is 30-40m, it will allow us to do paths on the upper area, it also will open a new challenge.

 

But let's not think outside the box by now, as the buildings only already are being tricky to do, and i have to do thousands of materials by now. I even don't know if i'll make it, and i have a test on november, so i have to study for it.

[spreilly]

Sweet.

 

Also, anyone have a hi-res photo of the license plate that comes with the installation?

Hey, Prods93 made the license plate and Gostown logo so you're best off asking him.

Somebody should host a server with the beta 2 map for Citizen. It would be fun to play on the Ghostown map.

Of course it would.

PLUS: Another Logo
