GTA Vice City Mobile Modding


Recommended Posts

Ye but, there is some order of loading the files.

You can also load the new files from folder where saves are stored, but they are ignored if the files are in apk.

good to know that, while checking with Solid Explorer, I did find another main, however I could not edit the installed package, i'm gonna try editing the apk and replacing it

erm i think the scm is in apk, so you gotta replace the main.scm in the apk with apk editor from google play.

Yep, that worked like a charm, thank you very much!!

Hello, can't believe it's been almost 6 years since this legendary game came to Android :D I know that San Andreas for mobile had some songs missing. There was a link and instructions on how to get them back and all was fine. Here I saw in first post that we can open the .obb file with WinRAR and indeed inside it are the familiar directories. But the SA mod for the radio was to just copy a few files inside the "/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files" folder. I don't see any link for a mod like this for VC, or am I missing something? Would highly appreciate it if someone tells me how to get back the missing songs in Vice City as well. I guess GTA III's and LCS's ports have all songs as I didn't see such a mod mentioned in their topics. Any help is welcome here, have a good night. :)

Hey guys, is possible change the game speed? Idk the VC mobile runs kind slow compared to other versions and I feel discomfort with speed. I searched about some mod like this but unsuccessfully.

It's your phone or tablet that makes it run slow. It could also be other apps that are running in the background that makes it slow. Also googleplay has the cancerous habit of constantly updating their apps in the background that definitely slows gameplay down. I turn auto app updates off and update them when I feel like it. I play it on a Shield Tablet on high settings and it runs fine.

Well, I mean the speed, not about lagging, the game runs well in my Iphone 6s, so is not a hardware problem. The speed is slower in ios and android versions, It's about some minimal diference, but enough to be notice by me. haha

@ThirteenAG  I am making a CLEO for Android's free camera perspective. But when I encountered a problem, I wanted to know how to make a screen touch to rotate the camera's perspective, just like the control angle of the original game. The memory address of the X and Y axes controlled by the mouse can be obtained by the PC. How does Android get the X and Y axes of the screen touch rotation? Is there a related function or memory address?

Great Ash, thanks for this useful information. Now i do understand nkjellmans first post. smile.gif

 

 

 

Think so too. sad.gif The new Texture looks pretty nice at the iPad 2. I was surprised about the high quality of the textures. smile.gif

 

Well, lets hope we or someone else find a way ... smile.gif

Hmm, I dunno, they seem to remaster every GTA games when it comes to mobile. (Don't mention GTA IV and GTA V, they are perfect)

This worked for me, but you need to get the original audio by yourself.

Thanks! The ADF Converter from the link you gave shows me a "AccessDenied" XML message but I found another download link for the program: https://www.gtagaming.com/adf-converter-f162.html

Also for anyone else, see names of songs/artists on first post in this topic and search them on the following page by selecting each radio station to see which .adf files you actually need: https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Radio_Stations_in_GTA_Vice_City

 

PS: I didn't even have to install the game on my PC as the second CD image had the whole audio folder in it. Had to convert .bin to .iso via this tool though: http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=WinBin2Iso ;)

Can anyone please help me with weapon modding on version 1.09? Basically I'm adding a new DFF for some weapons into weap_high.img, which is fine. But when I try to add a new txd to gta3hi.txt, it doesn't show up in the game and the weapon is instead just black. Screenshot below:

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Never mind, I figured it out - you have to export the png texture itself from the txd, and import it using the "uncompressed 32bpp" option in TXD tool. It then works fine.

How exactly does Vice City modding works on Android? I already decompressed all the contents of the obb on the directory specified: "Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtavc/files" yet most of the files I replaced doesn't seem to be read by the game. First, main.scm works but is a pain in the ass to replace, because it needs to be deleted inside the apk and then have it re-aligned-signed and reinstalled. If I replace the files directly on the obb I get a prompt to download again the file unsurprisingly...

 

I need to know, how to replace the following files: TEXT\american.gxt, data\default.ide and models\particle.txd

 

I am using the Android 10th Anniversary Edition v1.09

Thanks to anyone who can help me here, I am just burnt out after many hours of trying without success...

Use the FLA to solve this problem of file reading.

Guys is there any method to solve the pixelated texture on Mali GPUs? Seemingly the solution on SA (delete etc file and rename dxt file texture) doesn't work on VC, making all the texture crashed. I found an amazing patch to solve pixelated texture from:  GTA Vice City Texture Fix Patch for Android [Grand Theft Auto: Vice City] [Mods] (gamebanana.com) , but looks like this patch can't be used on the game purchased from Play Store, requiring users to download a hacked version from the Internet to get a modifiable APK.

 

And this patch may have a texture bug that the breakable glass wall of several stores in North Point Mall becomes non-transparent after patching (if this doesn't only happen on my Xiaomi device). I guess the author may mistakenly code the glass texture during the development, and he may not fix this bug for the patch is created many years ago. So is there any other way to fix the pixelated texture on VC? Or can anyone teach me how to find the patch's bug part which causing the non-transparency issue?

 

I am really eager for someone can help me, and let me say thanks to you!
