GTA Vice City Mobile Modding

[_CP_]

Maybe something interesting is in game files, but I don't have access yet.

The draw distance offset is at 0x5D1. The values from my GTA3 topic still seem to work. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=495708

 

Oh and the game does run on iPhone 3GS, with about the same amount of choppiness as GTA3.

 

Edit: Car lights, Traffic lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights is at 0x6E5. Changing the value to 02 enables them and 00 disables them.

 

Edit 2: Detailed Shadows and Blood is at 0x6E1. 01 enables and 00 disables.

 

Edit 3: Debris at 0x6E6. 01 enables and 00 disables.

Good work guys.

 

One thing i've noticed is that everyone is worried about not being able to access the txd's, why? I can open them fine on my files.

They seem to be compressed differently for each graphic chip, just as GTA3 was. However, the new files are stored differently. You're probably looking at the old PC files that are still in the game. GTA3 used them as fall backs, I haven't tried VC yet.

@Gamerzworld

Thank you. 1st post updated.

[Frank.s]

Ah ok, but i see that people are saying they can't find the actual txd files, aren't they all loaded by the individual .imgs? Or are those not loaded by the game?

GTA3 haven't used these separated archives, I checked it, when I tested my port of VC map in 3.

Some more for you

Debris at 0x6E6. 01 enables and 00 disables.

Frame Limit at 0x5D7. 01 enables and 00 disables. *Can't really test if it still works or not as my 3GS is a frame limit in of itself The game does seem different though when enabled. Should be able to properly test the value when the game releases on Android.

 

Edit: You might want to clarify that these are for the gta_vc.set file.

Roads and grass texture seems to be updated, looks really nice, I'm interested, how it will work on my Xperia Neo V.

[gamerzworld]

Android version pushed back till next week. Yay

[nkjellman]

Is there a way I can downgrade the textures? They make my iPod Touch 4G crash (I think).

 

@Silent: I'm using the All Opened Up mod on VCM and it works like a charm. (Crashing occurs on normal SCM as well so its not the mod)

 

@Gamerzworld: Do you think that editing the values in the set file might be a way to fix the crashes?

If it's a memory leak, you might be able to get a few extra minutes with the game if you disable some of the things.

Found these skins in the files. I don't ever recall them being released, perhaps beta skins?

I want to downgrade the textures too, i edited the set file, but it still lags a bit and i cant save. (have an iPod touch 4G too)

 

[gamerzworld]

Tried changing the player skin via the set file, doesn't work. Game seems to just ignore the setting.

Looks like we will have to wait for Rockstar to patch the glitch. A lot of other 4G users are having issues.

 

Ether way, I'll be a 5G user come December 25 so I'll have much better graphics and I'll be able to play the game.

For now I'll just f*ck around with All Unlocked installed.

 

Figured out that making the game load a lot causes the memory to over load. Going in interiors, saving, changing islands, driving far, pausing the game, looking at the map, ect are examples. Do them too much, and crashing will occur. III had these issues, but rebooting fixed it completely. VC just lets you play longer but it will crash.

Yeah sounds like a memory leak. Have you tired reducing the draw distance? I noticed that the draw distance was pretty far on stock, it might help.

Do not do this, you are just asking for your game to crash. New controls and options have been added to the game and have changed the set file. I've found the new values, they are in the first post. Just apply them to an original gta_vc.set.

It may not crash right off the bat, it may not even crash at all. I can almost assure you though at you'll run into some kind of problem, be it a crash or a glitch, in the future because of it. It's really not that hard to use a hexeditor but I can understand if it complicates some people.

[HippieCommunist]

made a Small Animations Mod about a century ago

 

 

if any1 interested...

 

id like to ask if any1 can find a way to 'convert' ThirteenAG's brilliant masterpiece .asi to work for mobiles...

 

could kick so many asses...

[Wesser]

 

I'd "blame" (praise?) War Drum Studios more for these leftovers.

It reminds me the official scripting compiler (using GBHScript sintax) released by DMA Studios (currently Rockstar North) for GTA2.

Do someone can add the lights, blood and smoke?

And can someone make a health mod like Never died;)

 

Thanks in advanced

Read first post, you can enable particle effects.

[Frank.s]

Could someone test this map mod? It's just a cheap map-clean i threw together with 1 object appearing in-game from another GTA, i want to see if it works on mobile. I would test it my self but i can't get my 3GS for another couple days.

I'll try it in next week, when Android version will be released.

Oke, I done it, Can you give me the hex code were I can edit the HD quallty for my ipad? Like the Resolution

[_CP_]

Try with this:

Offset: 0x676

 

Options:

Ipad 80 (HiRes)

DHD 19 (LowRes)

[_Rob_]

Is there any reason, limit hacking etc that would stop Myriad islands from being ported?

[_CP_]

In theory, it should be easily possible, but in practice for sure we'll have a lot of problems.
