Reflections are looking great, unlike last time. And these arrows are teleporters?

[ShArCaDe]

Do you plan on adding beta characters/pedestrians?

[OmeXr]

 

thanks for taking time and commenting on the topic u guys. now, on to the questions:

 

*yes those are teleporter markers and i will talk to silent about them. i want to use iv marker colors. like dark red, dark cyan and yellow..

 

*novy and darkel are already ingame. you can see them in streets or in interiors roaming around.

[OmeXr]

new teleportion locations:

 

casino

 

balcony from asuka's mission

I did that loooong time ago but he dont want HD models....

[OmeXr]

no guys. ive changed my mind. i was so intense about gta3 to remain original, i didnt want anything that is hd. but now i will accept that. because hd effects or hd env like trees bushes etc doesnt hurt the game's original atmosphere. it is the buildings or cars thats ruining nostalgia.

 

so, you can send me any model right now. i will choose what to use and will post screens too.

[Legomanarthur]

Hey I got an idea. Why dont make the old house of Toni in portland ? And when the war against the Triads begins, the house would be destroyed. Then, 1/2 mission(s) later, a crane would appear and stay as it is the game ? Well it's just an idea, and I don't think it's possible but I just wanted to share

the idea is really good for sure, but you see, in 2000 (GTAAdvance) Toni's apartment has already been destroyed by Mike (protag). so it would be wrong in chronological way. with this mod i want to tie all gta saga together and fix all of the errors. as you guys can guess, i will continue with vice city after III SXE's final version released. i have no other plans right now, but i cant say anything until i complete 3 and vc as fast as i can.

 

also i'm thinking of releasing BETA 2.5 to keep you guys up with new things. but i have to say, beta 2.5 is really different with it's cars and env. also there will be no map changes until beta 3 as you know. (beta3 will be released in jan 2014)

 

btw, can anyone convert lc sawmill, vincenzo's warehouse and salvatore's office interiors from lcs?

Oh, I never played GTA Advance so okay .

[nkjellman]

Just thought about this. Do you ever think about making low poly fake interiors for your buildings, kinda like what V had on some buildings?

 

I noticed you tend to make the glass buildings transparent so you can see through them. Or are you trying to simulate a reflection

no need for such a thing. every building will have it's original interior. i dont care how much time it would take to do this.

 

Lets take a flight to upstate.

then lets use back door to get through vaults

 

SV Safe house

DL rooftop

A new simple interior by me

[Legomanarthur]

Nice ! It is possible to see more of Upstate please ?

[SaL_Leone]

you can see Upstate mountain pics on my topic GTA Varbey...It will be good to that mountain be on this and on my TC...But with different textures and buildings

Is the triads' laundry done? The one which appears in Joey's mission.

 

And another thing I'd like to see is more, bigger safehouses. I hate the concept of walking into a tiny room and saving the game. I want explorable safehouses (if such a term exists, lol). And it would be better if you replace existing safehouses with bigger ones which could be explored. That is, if you don't want to stick really close to the real game.

I could like if OmeXr makes:

1. All Claude's savehouses not only bigger, but also on several floors with staircase. This could be cool!

2. Make all interiors enterable (Тhough, as far as I understood from mod's description, they will be accessible and explorable anytime already).

3. Makes some of the buildings in Liberty City with explorable staircase as interior where you can go from entrance on ground inside building, and climb all building's floors to its roof (and eventually adding a ramp on roofs of these buildings for vehicle stunt jumps).

4. Please OmeXr do not make changes within GTA 3's main.scm! I request this because I use 100% completed savegames for playing GTA 3 and any modifications in main.scm will make existent 100% completed savegames with all missions done uploaded in GTAGarage incompatible with his mod.

5. Remove this annoying bug when Claude goes inside an interior or а garage, the camera locking up on one direction and you cannot rotate the camera at all to any other direction until Claude exit the interior (or respectively from garage alone or with vehicle he was chose to drive).

Good idea ,but how you can get your car on roof?

[OmeXr]

Nice ! It is possible to see more of Upstate please ?

 

Of course, as i stated before, there will be more of upstate. But, for now, we have to complete the "base" of the game in order to add/extend it's original material. this is why im working on the teleportion system before i make any map changes right now..

yes he is right. but i'm afraid until beta 3.1 there wont be mountains. because;

 

with beta 2.5 (this month, so soon) you will have the basic system.

 

with beta 3.0, (jan 2014) you will have all of my work ported on it.

 

with beta 3.1, (feb 2014) i will start adding other modder's work on it.

if you mean mr.wongs by laundry, its already done.

 

well right now portland safehouse is explorable, also sv house is too. but i dont have anything for staunton, because i have so many work to do (like porting all of my work on to the current base) so i will add them later.

1: already answered.

2: that's the main goal of this mod, so yeah ofc.

3: im not sure if it will be there so soon, but yeah why not.

4: i cant say anything right now about that, its unclear what i will do with script.

5: that's already has been removed.

 

thanks for all your ideas, please keep them coming.

 

Screens:

 

shadows are so much heavier

road that connecting two of sv sides:

re-newed park toilet interior:

hangar which has been used by both gta3 and lcs:

3 original semi shop interiors (i know they have really poor quality but, since they have collision files, i will use them as interiors too:

[Black Stallion]

Maybe this is oftopic, but i really interested in it.

You use highest resolution textures, but on screenshots i can't see any noise ( looks like mipmap on textures),

but GTAIII-engine can't support mipmaps or i wrong?

[OmeXr]

im using ATI Radeon HD 5870 (1GB) and it comes with it's advantages. there is a program called AMD Catalyst Control Center and it forces any 3d program to have those features like mipmapping etc..

[Usman55]

One thing that's been on my mind all the while is that will the map be modified to accommodate the modifications done to the map? Like the new roads should appear on the minimap.

 

And from minimap I remember, will there be a full sized map like in Vice-City accessible from the main menu? The mod BTTF: Liberty City has it, and instead of opening it from the menu, we open it in-game.

 

One more thing, I'm in favour of the 2.5 BETA release. It would be better for me if it releases within a week or two as I have exams after that.

 

And an addition to the game would be to improve how the game plays the Unity FM, if that's what its called. I'm talking about the mp3 files radio station. It should have better functionality like in IV. Next, Previous, Shuffle etc.

[OmeXr]

i will make changes to radar but in later betas. also there is like 3-4 radar mods that does what you did mention dude.

 

im just doin last changes and like in 3-4 days it will be here.

 

cars = original xbox

map = original snow city with my additional models (but very little since they will be all in beta3)

textures = remastered and restored in higher quality

interiors = except some of mine, they are there. nearly all of them..

 

SCREENS:

 

Police HQ Helipad:

As you know, Toni's staunton safehouse garage was already in gta3, but hidden. so i've just opened it's door, and it has collision aswell. its kinda scary..

Cartel Mansion interior (The door wasnt working so i had to make a teleporter for it)

Uncle BJ's Rooftop:

Bitching Dog Food (sorry for empty interior):

Donald's Love's Skyscraper Garage (waiting for your ideas to use this big ass garage):

[Node]

Wow.

 

I'm speechless, those screens are amazing.

[Legomanarthur]

The garage is used in the mission Silence The Sneak .

 

Donald's Love's Skyscraper Garage (waiting for your ideas to use this big ass garage)

 

Maybe something like the garages in GTA V ? Add some Securicar inside ?

 

Anyway good job !

[Ivan1337]

I have an important question OmeXr,

 

Can you maybe create the Staunton Plaza?

(The destroyed part of Fort Staunton)

 

Sorry, for the bad english..

[OmeXr]

no it was not used in silence the sneak. that garage you ve mentioned just really close toni's garage.

 

i cant use staunton plaza because it would cause timeline errors. twenty ten mod has already made staunton plaza, you can try it too.

Edited December 1, 2013 by OmeXr

[Legomanarthur]

Ups, it's been a long time since I played GTA III though .

 

Why don't do something like this project

 

http://gtaforums.com/topic/647468-wipgta-san-andreas-mission-effects/

 

For example :

The destroyed house of Toni can become an empty terrain, or a new construction site after some missions.

Same with the destroyed fish factory.

The Fort Stauton plaza could have some change too as we progress through the story (not alot, there is some cutscenes inside the building, but some modifications )

The Dam could be damaged after the final mission.

 

What do you think ? And sorry if my english is bad .

[OmeXr]

i loved your ideas, but i cant do those things right now, i really need time to make all of the ideas you guys gave me.
