GTA: Frosted Winter


Recommended Posts

Hi, I tried to add new pickup into the game. And I failed. Does anyone know how to add new dynamic object into the game. Steps I did:

1. Added pickupc.dff and pickupc.txd to gta3.img

2. Added a line in objects.dat pickupc (parameters like any other pickup)

3. Added a line in generic.ide and gta3.ide (parameters like any othe pickup, used pickupc pickupc names as is txd and dff names)

4. Defined new object PICKUPC in main.scm

 

When created new pickup in game it crasshed confused.gif Sorry for double post

I'm using Photoshop CS4 for creating new pics and TXD workshop to import/replace the original icons. You see, I want to make icons with alpha channel so for example this picture

user posted image

would appear only as diablo Icon without any white background. The same with Icons I make myself. But I don't know how to import img and alpha separately. On txd workshop there is a button to swithc view from img to alpha mask and then I thin you can import img or alpha, but when I import img (ex. radar_ray) it becomes alpha too and when I try to import alpha separately (ex. radar_raya) it becomes img too. So I dont know what to do. If I uncheck "use alpha" I get square icon with a background. If I still use alpha (which then is the same as img), I get the icon without the background, but you can barely see it. So what I want is to add VIVID icons without background and I dont know how to do that sad.gif

You need to use two programs: txd builder and txd tool (1.1). Don't use txd workshop for importing alphas.

 

txd builder

 

I have txd tool and I'll upload it if you can't find it.

 

1. Build a new txd using txd builder [open txd builder and add your image]

2. Click the "change" button

3. Check the box that reads "has alpha"

4. Browse and find alpha image

5. Build your new txd

7. Open the new txd file using txd tool

8. Import alpha (yes, you are importing the alpha image once again) [commands -> import -> alpha and select alpha image]

9. Import into your txd file hud.txd

 

That should fix your problem

 

Also, remember that the black part of an alpha image is transparent in-game, whereas the white part is visible in-game (gray is semi-transparent).

 

More details are available in the link below:

 

Tutorial on alphas

 

This method works.

I keep telling you, get in contact with DimZet13,

 

DimZet13's user profile at gta.ru

 

He has his own webpage, too.

 

 

 

On an unrelated note, I'm just curious, but how did you learn to create missions and cutscenes?

The game crashed because you didnt give the object a collision, add one inside the generic.col and theoretically it wont crash. icon14.gif

Delete the gta3.ide because it isnt used by the game, the only .ipl and .ide files in the maps folder that the game uses are the ones written in the gta3.dat

file so you can delete all the cols in there too (the cols are loaded from the gta3.img and some from the COLL folder).

This is a great mod, keep it up.

best thing, its a mod for GTA3, it would be much easier if it was a mod for GTASA, i have huge problems with collision for map meshes, can anyone help?

Please don't mention here. Open a topic in III Era modding section. It will be off-topic here.

i can make a radio stations! just say a music style

iam working with the music and gladly can help you to create real NY mood

Unfortunately you can't use songs without authors permission (which is pretty much impossible to get), because it is against the rules.

Ok it's been a while. I kinda finished the mod and tested it. I think its pretty decent game. Anyways there are still some stuff to do:

1. Fix some bugs

2. Make a new object rotate as a pickup

 

I'll fix bugs in a few days, but I have no idea how to add a pickup animation to an object. Maybe someone could help me with that?

 

As for now... I leave you a short vid.

 

 

lol for skype....

OK, about skippin the CS:

1. You can only skip the mission start cutscenes by HOLDING enter/exit vehicle button (which is usually enter/return).

2. You cannot skip any other cutscenes (like those accuring in the middle or end of the mission)

3. The game intro cutscene cannot be skipped until the Joey monologue part.

 

Also if the default language appears lithuanian and you having troubles changing it go Nustatymai>>Kalba>>Anglu

 

This post is copied to the first post too.

I enjoyed old 2007 version very much. I wish it would be a mod for GTA LC Total Conversion.

 

Anyway, I think that maybe I'll install III again just for this mod smile.gif

There are 80 missions in total:

70 story missions including 18 asset missions (because you can buy properties from the begining of the game BUT there will be a point where you will have to buy them all in order to continue the storyline)

10 side missions

Hey dude, nice mod! I tried it out, but. On the very first mission where i'm supposed to kill a guy, it says that the one you're supposed to kill is the green blip on the radar, i go there. And then i see no-body, i killed millions of people around the green blip, and it still didn't work confused.gif What do i do?
