VC WIP Shine o' Vice

[Speccy]

Indeed, the truck on the right looks extraordinarily cool.

-Anti-, it's good to see another modeler and talent in the thread

What the trucks situation is currently looking like (correct me if I've forgotten anything):

Barracks OL - Baracks by Leonazix
Yankee - Bulldozer by Speccy
Mule - Steed by NFX
Boxville - planned/wip by NFX
Packer - planned by Daitojo97
Trashmaster - planned by Daitojo97
Benson - we can give this slot to -Anti-

*EDIT - new page. Thought it would be a good idea to repost BEGINit's question once again to avoid it being skipped.

 

I have a question, Since I am a noob at understanding how memories and other stuff works, I have a problem. When a missions has more than a few actors or cars or objects or stuff going on, the game does not load traffic or pedestians. It's ok when like 2 or 3 actors are created, but if there are 8... 10... or more (actors/cars/objects) VC becomes a ghost town. Is there a way to fix it?

Last screenshot for today folks now I'm off to catch some rest.

Enjoy!

I don't really know much about modding - but in the past I stumbled across this:

You can customize pedestrian / car traffic density etc. Maybe it might be useful?

Are you sure the problem isn't elsewhere? Unless you are using lots of models this shouldn't be an issue, and the game can handle far more peds/vehicles than 10 at once.

Yankee - Bulldozer by Speccy

Since the Yankee get aut and you didn't said what Anti car will replace Benson could it be replace by that GMC 550 like truck that Anti created? It looks really good. Edited November 16, 2016 by Honker1944

I think that he somehow changed the interior. Once I created around 40 or less peds but I didn't faced any problem. I am also pretty much noob.

 

But a deadly virus in my pc deleted every file. Then hard disk power circuit gone RIP. Sorry for the bump I guess.

 

 

BTW, are we gonna get a beta release to see mod is still alive?

As said multiple times, the mod is only going to be released when it´s done.

[Frank.s]

Sounds like all ya' memory is being eaten up by something. Memory leak somewhere? Check your code for stuff that gets loaded but never unloaded. Also the texture resolution of everything needs to be blow 256x256, anything more and you'll end up with dissappearing crap sooner or later.

What copy of the mod are you using? The DB version (with no bloat) or is your copy the old version you sent me way back? If it's the old one then i'm not surprised.

[Speccy]

- fixed Turbo's bookstore prelight

- fixed Sal's Downtown safehouse prelight

- added doors to the safehouse exterior and interior (attached to the model)

 

 

 

Something I noticed while editing Sal's model was that it's texture file is 4.6 MB. The Vanilla file for the same building without interior is 1.0 MB. From my experience, the typical texture file is around 1.0 MB and very rarely above 3.0 MB. If there are more instances of such large texture files being used, maybe that can lead to negative effects on memory. The sizes of all textures used for the map should be fine though, from what I've seen.

 

Frank made a good point. If BEGINit is not testing these missions in the DB version of the game, it's not surprising that he's ran into issues. Otherwise, there will have to be another solution...

Looks great! I'm sure this will be the Nightshade.

[Daitojo97]

Nope It's the exact opposite I'm calling it Phoenix 500se the car that will leave the Nightshade in the dust designed to beat Vigero's And Coquette's. I'm heading off to work [real job] soon but I will have the car done by O' say maybe Saturday.

So hang on tight people the ultimate Muscle Race Car with it's elegant lines will be done soon!

I'm not testing it in DB because adding my main.scm in DB version makes it crash randomly a lot. So I had two choices - do a research on why it crashes that much or carry on scripting on my old version. I chose later.

 

On another note, I did try to search for the crashing reasons. At first I thought it might be duo to the fact that in DB version some model names in IMG changed and now differ from the ones I use in script. So I changed those, but I did not fix the problem. So I decided to check both IMG's (DB and my old one) to check for differences and when I saw how muc those two differ I decided to carry om with scripting in my old version and when I finish there, only then try and resolve this issue.

 

So I cannot test much of the script in DB version at the time because I cannot last 10min without random crash.

I advise you to ignore the memory issue until you finish the entire script. Without traffic, of course, some missions will play out harder and others more difficult (free road - easier to compete a chase; exploded vehicle - cannot grab another one quick and continue driving) but you can address this with Frank's help when it comes to adapting your script to the DB version as this is an unavoidable step either way.

 

As last resort to mediate the problem, you could temporarily remove the misc_stuff ipl or whatever it's called (all that extra vegetation). I know there are ramps as well but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Or just properly assemble one unified build and let the entirety of the team check its stability and correctness

[Russell_Stone]

Or just properly assemble one unified build and let the entirety of the team check its stability and correctness

For some reason he's not considering this as an option. He never gave a script to his team members. Probably to avoid leaking out.

Edited November 17, 2016 by Russell_Stone

[Braindawg]

As much as it protects the script, it limits what other team members can do because we never get tot work alongside the script. Even changing small files like handling can affect pre-set vehicle paths etc...

[Daitojo97]

Here's some more progress I think I need more time to finish. So I might say Monday or Tuesday even though it looks like it's almost done there's still allot to do.

[......................]

Benson - we can give this slot to -Anti-

Thank you very much. I will try to create a satisfactory truck but I can't promise anything since this is my first attempt at a car mod,

(I think I actually might have to pick up a tutorial to learn some modeling...)

Anyway which truck would you like to have? The benson-sized or the yankee+sized one?

Replacing the Besons the first would be more logical but I agree that the the latter is more interesting.

[Bigbossbro08]

Yo, Shine O Vice guys, will guys gonna release a progress video on your mod.

 

----------

 

In Avery's mission you blew up a construction site. Will guys make completed building of that construction building or make something different?

[Daitojo97]

The tedious Job of UV mapping.... however the Clean model is pretty much done!

 

[FacFerC]

Holy sh*t, great

[Daitojo97]

Thanks! and yeah It's all coming together now!

 

And trust me folks this car will fit in like a glove.

A progress in the front of Dominator 87

[Daitojo97]

Looking sharp my friend !

[Daitojo97]

Progressing slow but It's looking a little more love able now.

 

[turbocharger]

The Dominator is supposed to be a Foxbody Mustang, right? Sweet.

 

Also daitojo97, the Trans Am looks great, but please try not to double post, use edit button instead.

[Daitojo97]

Thanks man glad you like it ! And thanks for the advice I'll try not to double post next time.

[Braindawg]

it looks gorgeous! I can appreciate the detail being a modeler myself, but that hood/bonnet is waay too detailed for SoV imo...

Edited November 20, 2016 by Braindawg

[TheMadeMan]

Nice work everyone!

[Daitojo97]

Glad you like it Braindawg! But trust me it will fit in VC once I'm done with the bodymap which could take a little while because UVmapping is well I think you know It's a long and tedious process but in the end I hope it's worth the trouble and the time.

 

Here wait maybe with some color it actually looks fitting the way it is.

 

And don't mind these normals I still have to cut the car in parts once I'm done Mapping the body.
