GTA Vice City Mobile Modding


Recommended Posts

@Kubigz Man thanks for your reply. However I used the patch you mentioned, the same problem still happens, maybe the patch authors we mentioned respectively are actually the same guy lol. 

I made a screenshot on my cellphone to show how the transparency bug looks like but I don't know how to upload a pic in a reply in this forum.

Could u plz check whether the non-transparent glass window happens on your device with the texture patch you mentioned above? The breakable glass windows of stores which the player should intimidate the owners for protection fee in mission "Shakedown" are now visually like solid cement.

Yes, I got non-transparent glass at Ammunation in Downtown and North Point Mall, but this is something I can live with.

Pixelated textures were more annoying to me, but now it's no longer a problem for me.

@Kubigz Well, anyway thank you for confirming this issue doesn't only emerge on my device. Hopefully one day someone or the patch developer can fix this texture bug. I think Rockstar and War Drum Studio should have prevented the pixelated texture bug annoying Mali GPU users, rather than leave this to voluntary programmers to clean up the mess for their laziness.  I have to say the guys who trying to make old generation GTAs better are really great people.

@Sneed Hi buddy, are you the author of pixelated texture fix patch for vice city? Thanks for your patch which solve the terrible texture on Mali GPU devices! We have detected a texture bug caused by your patch, which makes the glass windows of Downtown Ammu-nation and stores in North Point Mall become nontransparent visually, not taking place on original texture. Although you released this patch many years ago, could you please try fixing the bug if you have time? Really grateful for your devotion.

i didnt create it, i could try recreating the fix, but i dont even have VC mobile files with me as of now.

@Sneed You need the obb file? This Youtube link provides a download of VC 1.0.9 in introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FamnKEeo3II We may work together to fix the problem though I am just a freshman in GTA modding. I have checked the gta3img.txt and gta3hi.txt file in the patch, seemingly the patch creator has changed 'png' and 'img' parameters in most of the objects. I have tried to recode the objects in .txt file which contain keyword 'window' or 'glass', using the original 'png' and  'img' parameter, and got a failure(the glass in game is still nontransparent). 

The biggest challenge for me is that I don't know how to compile .dat file. The .dat files of the patch are almost the same big as the original files compressed in obb, but I can't make a confirmation about whether the patch creator adjust any texture parameter in .dat files to act jointly with the changes in .txt file.

Well I've been a guest for the past 10 years, but this has finally got me to register!

 

Am I able to mod Vice City Andriod 1.09 without a root? Or will I have the same issues as above? Does fastmans limit adjuster need root?

 

I've read through this topic and can't find an answer, sorry if I've missed it 🙂

 

 

 

@guy above with the window question, you need to edit the alpha level, not the file type. Import a black square as alpha and that will sort it

Hey buddy, I just found you uploaded a texture mod in this topic which may solves the pixealted texture problem. The link you posted seems not workable, could you post it again? Really appreciate that.

I'm deeply sorry but it was dead for few years, I'm not into mobile modding at all now.

Because that is part of the paid bundle (apk + obb) I'm afraid that's still copyrighted, even if modded, and shouldn't be posted as far as I'm concerned.

I got fix for this, but it requires to have modded .apk. I'm not sure if it's possible to publish

 

@Spider-Vice ???

Guys are you talking about the transparency issue I posted last time in mobile VC? You guys have fixed that? What a great work!

You can browse through with txdf**ker (there's a link for it on this thread) And replace the files this way too.

 

I just have no idea if the phone needs to be rooted/how to update the obb as every time I do it downloads a new copy. I know i need fla but not sure if that requires root 🙃

 

This definitely brings a whole new ball game to mobile modding. GTA 3 PC version recently ported over to modded PSVita's. I tried it and it works perfectly! It would be great if they can also port over the PC versions of VC and SA as well! Just to let everyone know its legit. You have to buy it off of Steam to port the files over.

SA isn't being worked on as the people working on this are not interested in the game.

That's fine with me. I didn't really like most of the characters in SA but it sucks for the people who wanted it. Recently I found a live stream of Vice City getting worked on. I hope it doesn't take all year to get released.

You'll be hearing about it on here soon enough, the main team just want to keep a low profile until at least all of VC has been done.

PC dffs for vehicles and peds don't work automatically for mobile on the later versions. You have to use The Hero's convdff to convert these into the mobile format first.
