[REL|VC] Vice City Neons


Recommended Posts

This mod is excellent!!! It keeps the game's atmosphere but improves the looks A LOT.

 

I think I'm using v4, I decided to comment a few lines that have neons floating around in places where there's some missing VCS model, using a # so they don't load in the game. They are the missing billboard near the biker's bar, some place in Little Haiti, the missing airport tower top, some burgers place in the mainland (it's a pizzeria in VC) and some shop near the stadium.

 

It's these, I can't remember which ones were commented by default:

Hey, would you mind fixing the Weird LOD issues on Ocean Beach as well as on Washington Beach? + remove some floating non-existing neons? Please.

Hah I was wondering about those LOD issues on Ocean Beach and Washington Beach as well, I still hadn't figured out where they came from. Not that they are a huge issue or anything though (I don't mind if they were caused by the neons mod because the neons mod freaking rules). Gonna see what I can find.

That's really nice. What about of disable the VCS malibu neon lights and the Ocean View Hotel lights too because they are overlapping the original ones? I don't know if other buildings has some issues though.

Edited by gts.

I'll check that one out and see if I can find it, and same with the one near the port. I wanted to try to edit the models to remove only the extra parts but I still can't figure out how to make neons glow in the game after editing.

 

EDIT:
These are the Beachcomber in Vice Port ("Hooker Inn Express" in Vice City):

Is there a way to have *only* the neons on the tall buildings (the ones on the road near the Malibu club and outside the beach).

 

I like the neon lights on the Vice Beach strip but the really low-res window textures are distracting (I'm guessing they're directly from the PSP/PS2 game?)

Yes, neons are from PS2.

GTA United runs on SA engine, this is for Vice City. If you want them for GTA United convert them yourself, check some tutorial or whatever.

This mod looks awesome. But the problem is that it aint working with my game. I did follow all steps to install V4.

I installed it succesfully.

after put the mod folder into modloader,you need edit gta_vc.dat too

 

The edit method is in v3 mod pack

I have a solution for the LOD issues for this mod and a solution to other mods. If you're using Open Limit Adjuster v.1.5.7 you have to downgrade it to v1.5.6 because some mods are having issues with v1.5.7, like Updated SCM and CS Characters 10th Anniversary Edition. After downgrading Open Limit Adjuster to v1.5.6, edit the file: III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.ini and change TimeModels = unlimited to TimeModels = 10000, that should fix the LOD issues and some other issues for other mods in your game. I used modloader for all of my mods so I don't have to replace any files in my game and it all works. I hope this helps.

It is compatible just edit the gta_vc.dat that VCLF use then add the neons there.

 

#
# Object types
#

IDE data\maps\neons\beach.ide
IDE data\maps\neons\mainla.ide

 

#collision data

COLFILE 0 data\maps\neons\neons.col

 

SPLASH loadsc3

 

IPL data\maps\neons\beach.ipl
IPL data\maps\neons\mainla.ipl

Okay now it works!! I had to add files into game manually,for some reason the game didn't load files from modloader

how do i fix this sh*t?

That's the Redwood Jr. sign in VCS on top on the Verdi Supermarket Store. I'll try to find a solution to remove this. Try looking at the mainla.ipl or beach.ipl files then put a # at the beginning of the line if you found that neon model so the game doesn't load it.

The model for that neon sign is beach339.dff and mainla519.dff but since I cannot find it in the .ipl files, you can safely delete it from gta3.img

Yoooo I was gonna download VC again but you saved me! thx so much :)
