Deji Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Developer Statement "I'd describe Vigilante Justice as a 'Feature Conversion'. There are no large map changes and it mostly aims to add new features and a new style of gameplay to the existing San Andreas setting. There are some rather large additions, including working Car Washes and a whole new inventory system. Additional weapons is something I still need help to do but if weapons are added, they won't just be like the plain old weapons you've already used with a different model, they'll have their own unique features. There are also changes to minor details at the time of writing, changes to some food vendors have taken place. Another example is slight expansion of the drug dealers AI. All of these things advance SA one step further and make gameplay more immersive. Vigilante Justice tells the story of Officer Carl "CR" Ronson in both the past and present tense. These parts of the story link up together nicely and take place both during and after the events of San Andreas. The missions are designed to be fun, action-packed and at times, down-right hilarious. Although mission 4 is one of a few that are made to be detailed and immersive." VideosSome Current Features New Storyline New Missions New SA features New, interactive HUD New inventory system New objectives system Extended and fixed various SA features Easter Eggs (duh) What else makes it good? It's not a bloody DYOM mission pack! Precise mission coding ensures great missions. Log File Helps Reduce Bugs. Most features hardcoded, reducing lag and improving performance and stability. CLEO-Independant, works with or without CLEO. Extra SCM capabilities which improve mission coding. BASS.dll implementation means smaller download size and bugless audio. Installs alongside San Andreas, meaning easy install and uninstall. You can run normal SA while VJ is installed.

Deji Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 About previous releases... Yes, I know they're buggy and no, I won't update them or provide support for them anymore. Those releases aren't even contributing to the main release. They're more like teasers, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deji Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Considerable VJ Weapons if I can get a modeller: - Glock 17 & other Glock Pistols - Winchester Rifle - SIG Sauer P226 - Riot Gun - Hecker & Koch G36 - FN Five-seven - FN P90 - Taser - Colt Police Positive Special - Colt Detective Special - Baton - Weighted-knuckle gloves (to replace 'Brass Knuckles') - Remington 870 - Franchi SPAS-12 - Heckler & Koch PSG1 - Heckler & Koch MP5 - Variant of the SIG 556 I don't know much about guns past movies and games, so I spent a whole night getting this list by finding out which weapons were used in services like the police, the FBI etc... Obviously I don't want them all, it's just the ones I have considered. The riot gun is another example of something I could program new weapon behaviours into via ASI.

Deji Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Well i can help with effects if you need any new ones. Thanks for the offer, I could find some good uses for new particles once I get the other required help. I've done the money counter in VJ, nearly finished with the HUD for now, just gotta change wanted level position and colour: Wanted level should go above the money counter nicely. HUD is also 2-player compatible EDIT: Finished With the exception of the wanted level, which was altered by changing a few addresses, everything was made from scratch and works just as well (better, actually) than the original SA HUD. The money counter increases in the same manner, etc. I'll be doing some other great things with the HUD later. But I know for sure you'll love what I'm about to do next when it's finished...

Deji Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Another thing I plan to build on in VJ is ambient scenarios. SA has very little of this (peds sitting, holding hands, looking through shop windows and are some examples) compared to GTA IV, which is packed with random events happening, making the game more immersive. This level of immersion is what I'm aiming for in Vigilante Justice's San Andreas... Here's one of the things that I've done so far: They appear at the same times of day that planes arrive and take off when you take a flight in SA. You can even follow them all the way to their destination if you're fast enough, but I think when you have a rocket launcher in your arsenal, you'll find other ways to have fun with this. The effect will be most apparent when you're riving by an airport and suddenly notice a plane is landing at or taking off from the airport at it's scheduled time.. A bit of realism and immersion here. This is coded using a combination of ASI and SCM. In a similar way to how other ambient scripts are launched (peds taking pictures of picture-esque things etc.) - making it easy to add them (I was done with the plane thing in 20 minutes). So you can expect a lot more! Edited August 12, 2011 by Deji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I guess the yellow text is for development/bug-testing purposes only? And won't be in the game? Been waiting for this for freeeakin' ages !

Silent Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I guess the yellow text is for development/bug-testing purposes only? And won't be in the game? Yep, it's included only for debugging.

Deji Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Implented another one of the things which was in GTASA pre-release, but removed (probably too free up DVD space). http://www.gamechronicles.com/previews/ps2/gtasa/gtasa.htm (Ctrl+F to find "Moon Phases") I found a image with the moon in all different phases and cut them up for SA, then implemented the changes using C++. It goes through a 25 day cycle (as I only have 24 textures and one of the days is "no moon") based on the current in-game day of the year. However, the textures are buggy due to alpha being applied on them (which was the only way I could get the TXD tools to import them and be loaded by the game). So the fadeout to black causes the texture to be partially invisible. Edited August 25, 2011 by Deji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69_black_69 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Take a look at IV:SA thread. Do you want to have a thread that generates huge amount of replies that's some of them are complete useless like people asking about some stupid sh*t? Much better having a few replies than having a sh*tload of spam. And nice update you got there Deji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokas. Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I love what you did with the moon, but it would be cool to use original R* texture as a base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I can't texture... so I had to use a image with different moons already made and cut them up. One of the many reasons I need help with this mod. I can code nearly anything I want but can't model, texture or animate for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Talk to Function-X; I'm sure he would be more than happy to do some textures for your mod ! Excellent as always.
