Kov Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Every game gets old in terms of graphics. The hits from the past fall into oblivion for various reasons, but undoubtedly the most significant of them is poor -as for our times- graphic quality. GTA Vice City is presently a collection of blatant textures and models, which certainly don't make the game more enjoyable. Vice Cry is a modification that aims to prolong the life of the game, and to make one of the best parts of the GTA series more entertaining to play. Changes: - specially modified gta-vc.exe for Vice Cry, - new roads: 99%~100%, - new sidewalks: 99%~100%, - changed 100% vegetation (100% with flowerpots), - LOD system for palms, - 3D grass, - a slew of new textures in HD (1024x1024), like: concrete, ground, rocks, metal, wood, buildings, walls, water, doors, etc. - marsh vegetation, - new vehicles (Xbox Vehicles Mod), - new effects (modified particle.txd), - radar HQ and weapons in HUD HQ, - tropical island, - remodeled some skycrapers, - remodeled pickups, - new particle effects, - modified traffic lights, - repaired a lot of texture mapping, - reapired bugs in .IDE, - a lot of modified models, - TRAILS - new option in graphic settings. - modified font (2048x2048), - modified loadscreens Team kowal125xr - MOD LEADER dave - 2D GRAPHIC DESIGNER kapcaniew - ADDITIONAL GRAPHIC HELP Zero// - ADDITIONAL 3D MODELLING OSZUST - BETA-TESTER Conrado967 - BETA-TESTER Credits For permission to use Their mod in Vice Cry: - ALMOST610 - yojo2 - SLAYERMAGGOT - rmws. - Squirlkiller - DimZet13 Crysis & Far Cry for textures and beautiful vegetation models. CGTextures for wonderful textures. Download: Edited July 23, 2012 by kowal125xr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingleman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wow! I especially like the 3D grass, that must have taken ages to do! Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kov Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks for opinions (and cookies XD) - they are very important for me . Of course I'm going to release v.1.6 in february. I've got many plans what to do and put in the Vice City. 3D grass was a big problem when I decided to place it in the city - but now I've got a good script for 3ds max and I can work faster .

The FireStarteR Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) For instance, you can take ENB and make some magic with it. Just don't ruin the original Vice City atmosphere. Right now you made a really great work, keep going it that way, and perhaps we will play the mod everyone dreamed about - good ol' Vice with awesome graphics.

gtaboys Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 There is no problem when I put only the new texture and model in my GTA3.img, but, when I put the new folder "map" the game crashes to. Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Shady Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Do you use HardCore Graphic v0.4.5 files or is there are your own project now ? But i like it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kov Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm one of the authors of HCG. In HCG 0.4.5 you can see elements of Project 125xr v.1.3. I left the HCG project and now I work on my own . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaboys Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I have tested steps by steps and for me it's gta-vc.dat the problem. Edit : It's okay ! In fact, I don't know for what but Winrar did not extract properly all the files... Edited January 25, 2011 by gtaboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kov Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm glad everything is OK . Small mod update: What should we see in v.1.6: - new weapons from Far Cry (100% sure). Maybe I'll convert some guns from Crysis. - new weapon sounds - more and more textures - some new objects (I don't know what exactly yet) - of course more 3D grass List of the future changes can be changed.

Mark01 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I tought your mod was about enhancing vice city graphics not replacing with other game's stuff... too bad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey, this looks great but it's a shame that it requires a modded .exe and additional .col files... A simple retexture would have been good enough, imo. Could you please make a version that doesn't change gta-vc.dat? And/or release 3d grass separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kov Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's not "simple retexture" mod. Without modified .exe, .col files and gta-vc.dat there will be no palms, grass and modified models. I will not release separately 3ds grass for VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kov Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Vice Cry is back on GTAForums! First post updated after... a year. @lonestar55 - Vice Cry doesn't like ENB (too much problems with it). We don't have any ENB settings for our mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death2Drugs Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I like the idea of the mod. Brings Vice City to look more like a modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kov Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Some people asked me about the new patch for Vice Cry - 1.7.1 has still some little bugs, so I decided to release 1.7.2 just after the maturity exams in may. New version will be avalaible soon - patch is waiting for authorization on ModDB (meanwhile you can watch a boring presentation video above). EDIT Download is available! CHANGES: - fixed occasional crash near Malibu Club - collision repaired, - fixed hidden package issue near the Hulk Hogan - collision repaired, - corrected some graphic details Edited May 12, 2012 by kowal125xr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kov Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 This is a Polish translation of GTA Vice City specially created to work with Vice Cry (HD Font). The author of translated texts is Cenega.
