Flame Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Winter Mod 3.0 (Updated) Imagine that Vice City is covered with snow. Imagine that а lot of snow fell a layer of fresh snow covered not only the roads and lawns, but also the roofs of houses, shops... The passers have to dress warmer, cars are sliding on slippery surfaces, the strong wind is blowing, and that's all perfectly suited to upcoming winter holidays in the city. Winter Mod 3.0 is a global winter modification which transfigures summer Vice City into a real winter town, like in Christmas stories. After the installation all city is covered with snow! All roads, grass, roofs are covered with snow, no detail was missed. Used high resolution and high quality textures; LOD-textures also have been replaced. All pedestrians are clothed in warm clothes. Four new skins for Tommy (in cut-scenes he also can be dressed in warm clothes). Ability to walk, not only run. Was added a new Freeride Mode (with this option you can play the game without missions and storyline, only free discovering the city). Winter weather: long evenings and nights, gloomy sky, snow is falling; you can hear the howling of wind. New radio station with songs (duration: about one hour) that dedicated for Christmas and New Year (and yet another radio station you can install from Bonus folder). Graphic also heavy improved: added new visual effects bloom, motion blur, color correction, realtime reflections, anisotropic filtration, vignette and aliasing. With powerful menu you can configure each option of the mod and change different settings. And all these not all changes that were made for this mod.This is the first in history cross-platfrom mod for GTA, because it is released not only for PC (main version) but also (as experimental version) for Android, first global modification for mobile GTA: Vice City and first winter mod for this game.

MrMateczko Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Is it just me, or is the vegetation still the same? Would have been awesome if you implemented the BSOR for Vice City, as the default vegetation seen in videos is just ugly. Also, astonishing job of making an Android version, too bad my phone can't run Vice City well. Anyways, awesome, will test it...and see if the ENBSeries still lags because of my crappy GPU. Now that this is released, does it mean that the works on HRT 1.4, will be super fast now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetation textures in very high resolution now (models are old), looks better then in original game. By the way, in mod used not only new snow textures, but also new minor textures for some places and objects, made in style of original, but in high quality. Some of them from HRT 1.4. Yes, works on HRT will be faster; I was extremely difficult to do immediately two mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMateczko Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I've played it for a while, surprisingly it wasn't lagging at all with all HQ graphics. It looks stable and just awesome. The weather is just really nice. Nice usage of SweetFX and separate IMG archive, for perhaps better stability? I dunno, but anyways, you rock Flame! Also, what are the Easter Eggs you mentioned in the Readme? Just curious. I've found three: - "newspaper02_64" 2nd variant of the newspapers floating around (appears only after the mission "Dildo Dodo" is completed), with a Russian picture saying "Happy New Year!". - new message on the Frankie outfit. - Mod's name and author on "radar62", second-to-last radar texture. I was talking about this part of vegetation, the rest is fine. Edited May 6, 2013 by MrMateczko 𝓦𝓸𝓵𝓯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am glad that you are so quickly downloaded mod and playing with it. I've found three Well done! When I reading about found Easter eggs it sounds for me (do not why) scary. Do not say about all. Yes, separate IMG-archive also convenient for many reasons. The visual component in this mod was very important for me, I wanted to do everything beautiful. But textures of palm trees are not ideal, yes.

Flame Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Winter Mod 3.0 was released in updated edition and available on Mod DBIn this New Year one of my the best mods, Winter Mod 3.0, was released in updated edition! Winter Mod 3.0 (Updated) on Mod DBI suggest you read some citations from the news on Mod DB, that was published earlier. Winter Mod 3.0 for GTA: Vice City invites you into the winter fantasy: Vice City is fully covered with snow. A huge layer of snow covered roads and lawns, roofs of houses and shops, even trees are in the snow now. Passers have to dress warmly. Car drivers must be cautious: they slide on the snow surface. You hear noise of blizzard, snow falls huge flakes, and it becomes clear: this is a real winter!Mod contains a lot of technical innovations, included really unique for GTA: Vice City: game looks really cool with using of high quality materials and a powerful combination of two graphics libraries that add a lot of new modern effects: bloom, realtime reflections, motion blur, anisotropic filtration, aliasing, vignette (darkening of the edges), colour correction, additional sharpness etc. With new particle effects (water, sky, fire) game looks so good, as never before. (...) All pedestrians clothed into more worm clothes, Tommy is also not left without new things in the locker room: and in the game, and in cutscenes he can be dressed into new clothes. (...)I hope, you spend a lot of wonderful minutes in covered with snow Vice City, driving on the roads and listening songs about winter. Happy New Year!

Also was released Winter Mod (update — from 3.0 to 3.0 Updated): you can update Winter Mod 3.0 (2013) to re-released 2014 version! This update (with weight 216 Mb) must be installed over the previous version of the mod. Edited January 5, 2019 by Flame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) New mod's build and new season of video walkthrough Mod was changed a little (without version or name's change, because these are very minor changes): were fixed some little problems and added new gameplay feature. Users can read here about these changes and technical nuances; all links to the mod are updated and now you can download the latest build. Also I continue to play with my own mod and release video-walkthrough on my YouTube-channel. I continue project again from video №11; I already almost did whole storyline and I want to completely finish story missions with Winter Mod. Also I must note that mod is very stable: I did not see any crashes or something like this. Edited January 5, 2019 by Flame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Winter Mod 3.0 (Updated) (December 2016 build) was released Recently I've reuploaded the mod (on Mod DB and Google Drive): was improved (extended a little) ReadMe, fixed misprint on the loading screen, improved alpha textures in generic.txd. These are very little changes, so this is not version 3.1 or something, just reuploaded previous variant (3.0 updated). What about future versions, if this is interesting for someone - I also thought about this. Maybe one day... Happy New Year!

Flame Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Winter Mod 3.0 (Updated) (December 2018 build) was released According the tradition, before New Year I have made a new build of the Winter Mod 3.0. Thus, because I've found few problems, I've upload it little later on the Mod DB and Google Drive. So, the December 2018 build of Winter Mod was released. There are added few little features, like a new icon for knuckle in the HUD, two new Christmas songs on the New Year Radio, own icon for it, normalization of the volume and edited intervals between the songs, tips for modern OS Windows users and some other little changes.

Flame Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) December 2019 build of Winter Mod 3.0 was released Get a new ticket to snowy Vice City, Florida state. The new build of the Winter Mod 3.0 is released, with some new features and improvements. Quote There are no more any flashing of lightning and thunder sounds during the snowfall (great gratitude to @The Hero for writing of this plugin); added feature to disable rain drops effect on the virtual camera; added feature to disable intro videos; mod's menu was highly improved (now it's divided into two files — two language versions; added button for Windows compatibility tips, button for open the game folder, added startup music, other changes); added Windows 10 fix; added two new songs on the New Year Radio (+ additional retro radio sound effect); some little stuff. Download from Mod DB Mirror Google Drive December 2019 build is evolution from unfinished - because I could not find the time - January 2019 and then March 2019 builds of the mod (I have its working beta on my drive). The main feature, as for me, is that there are finally no more flashlights and thunder sounds during the snowfall (thanks The Hero again), also traditionally were added some songs for better Christmas atmosphere, some fixes, including Windows 10 fix to avoid the error on this system. And to be honest I like to go back to this mod, working with it is always easy and pleasant for me on the eve of New Year (we celebrate rather New Year than Xmas here). Hope there are still GTA VC fans here. Edited December 31, 2019 by Flame MeeMeeCandy777, 𝓦𝓸𝓵𝓯, AshGamer007 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
