nkjellman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Really nice work. If you put trees down you should use the ones aready ingame. I can't wait to play your map. It also appears you havent messed up the skyline also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkjellman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not mine. I have all kinds of back up files on it because I'm a IV SA dev. Reguler user's are different. However IV SA wasnt the only mod listed. But this mod will most likely go on my install that has tiny mods installed to make a big change. lol.

PacketOverload_x64bit Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Screens from the first Alpha look great. Can't wait to see more screens from you.

steel89ita Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very cool, but be careful with changing hud(radar) and stuff, if your mod is 'just' a LC map addon, a changed hud is not appreciated by everybody. I know I know, and I respect everybody's tastes, so it will be a Map Addon and nothing else. If I will release my hud and radar I will release them on a separate package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob.Zombie Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It looks real nice so far, also when you manage to add trees, please release a version without trees, because when I had SPA Franchorchamps installed I couldn't even do 2 full circuit but I got the texture bug (textures start disappearing). So not sure if it's the trees but spa had lots of them, and my guess is that ate all of my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put a # in front of the trees.wpl for the map mod in the gta.dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the trees of the vegetation) I will check on these days if I find a way to add them! Open ext_veg.img with OpenIV, extract the contents of the trees u wanna put on your map. Mass import ODR files, now you can place the trees where you lijke. Make sure when u clone them u don't change the names, Then simply link the trees to a WPL in objs section and export. Uhh, wow! Thank you very much Blaster! I just tested it and it with the wpl and, a part from some placement problems that I will check, it works! I will test it with the collisions but there shouldn't be problems. The next build will be bigger: I'm cleaning the map project with better slopes, mountainous bumps, revisited roads and heights. I will create different .img to leave the possibility to the users with "low-mid" end PCs to disable "heavy" objects like trees, bushes and fences. I will probably add new materials for the mountains, but I have to understand the use of the vertex paint for GTAIV. This build will require more time but I will always add screens of the development! For now I will not give the map to beta testers because it's a TEST, I will give it from the v.0.0.3 if everything goes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple Penetration Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That should be most realistic hill serpentine map for IV for now. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nice work. One thing I would change is increase the density of the trees. I understand you are still working on it, but you should put more trees in areas that are farther away from the road. But keep up the good work, your doing a nice job man.

steel89ita Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I very much not recommend this. You should do the following, grab a fps counter, like Fraps. check what the average fram rate in LC is (should be about 40-50) Then check your map, how much the framerate there is. If it is the same (a differences of ~5 fps is acceptable). If the fps difference is more then 6, your map is not streamed well, causes are: no lods, too many lods, too high poly lods. There is absoluty no need to make seperate img files. It will only confuse people when they download it. The graphics settings are meant to make difference in low, mid en high-end pcs. NOT map changes, that's simply bad game design. EDIT: Screens look good. Ok, thanks for the usefull tips, I really need them. In fact you are right, but my real worry is that in a game like that (almost in the city), a montainous map could be really heavy. I tested it with fraps and for now it seems to run good with 1000+ trees (same fps as in the broker if not better), but I will test it better with the final terrain. I will try to achieve something like this in all the areas (speaking about trees): I don't know pratically anything about LODs: are they working like GTA SA? I have difficulty to get documentations like lods, vertex alpha and the other advanced things (I only fouln basic tutorials for GTAIV).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
