Ash_735 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Again a reminder for folks just joining, if this goes ahead it won't even be the full map. Old engine limits on gta4 prevent the full map from being possible, at best this would be a nice way to get the city of Los Santos and some hills into the game but they would abruptly stop when the barrier limit is reached. It's also going to look rough effects, weather and lighting wise as gtav has majorly boosted those. So the Los Santos you'd be driving around here would be a more duller looking lifeless version and ironically seem bigger because of gta4's lower draw distance and clouding. We can't port the timecyc as it has been set up to take the new lighting engine into consideration so on gta4 it comes off a lot darker and night time just drops buildings into darkness as it is expecting the illuminations to provide on that front. As for how this is possible, well whilst a lot of users in the PC thread were sat around bitching about cockstar and stuff, we've had tools to look at the games files for a while and work was being done on various fronts to see how much we could grab and transfer over due to similarities which is where we are at now with mapping problems and UV finally being figures out meaning it's enough to bring into gta4 as a tester and have something to mess with.

Not to mention most of the attention of the community has shifted toward GTAV. On topic, would be interesting to see this on San Andreas. Should be possible to fit the entire map in it and would be cool to experience the map with the physics of the older games. Stunting community might even take to it like the SAiVC and LC mods.

WATER DRAGON Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Credit doesn't matter when someone else is making money for it. People upload the mods for free on the internet. If they don't want others to make videos off of it and possibily make some money then they shouldn't upload it for free. Simple. You're a modder, are you telling me that you wouldn't be upset if you worked hard on a mod and then someone else made money off of it? We actually approached zzcool to make videos from GTAIV: San Andreas. That mod was purely done by enthusiasm by us. If he used advertisements on the videos to make money off of it, that's entirely his choice. And that was your choice. Go ask the creator of Iron Man IV and see how he feels. Do you really think the creator of the Iron Man mod cares? No he most likely doesn't. He's happy so many people are looking at his mod. Think logically instead of trying to make him feel bad for uploading GTA videos. If it wasn't for youtuber's like him most of these mods would be unheard of. So what he makes money off it. You want him to not make money? If you say yes you're an idiot. If there is a chance to make money you'd do the same. He's making money doing what he loves.

DeafMetal Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) This actually got me thinking - wouldn't it be possible to finally have all the III era maps on a single map once V hits on PC? If I remember correctly, it wasn't done because of border limitations or something like that. In theory, V's borders should be more than enough to host 3D SA + VC + LC, shouldn't it? Not saying it's gonna be easy, or saying that anyone should do it - just asking, would it be possible?

I don't believe I was coming off any more aggressive than you have in your previous posts. The fun aspect was just answered by zzcool but I do believe you were missing the point. They must be having fun/really want to do it for them to even work on it voluntarily. No one is forcing them to do this. I never said you were bitching, just stating a point that people always tend to find something to bitch at. (Read my reply carefully) There's really no more specifics to go into as the creators have already stated their intentions behind the project. It's fine if you're not happy/disagree with them, but you've already stated as such so there's really no need to keep posting that you disagree.

I'm gonna bypass all of what's been said and just say the one true reason, Modders are Curious and always looking to prove something. It's always exciting when a new GTA is released or a port because we want to see what versions, changes, etc, have been done to the code, set up, etc. This project, again, not all of us are working on it, is just a proof of concept that we already have tools capable of reading and extracting and even altering the formats that GTAV uses (which is good for the PC version of GTAV as we can hit the ground running unlike that period of slow growth with GTA IV). Porting it over to IV is just a concept to see if we can build and do things with the map and models/textures, etc accurately. Things like vehicles being extracted from the game, that's because people CAN now do it, so why not play around with them in GTA IV for a bit whilst we still wait for GTAV on PC?

ZZCOOL Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Again a reminder for folks just joining, if this goes ahead it won't even be the full map. Old engine limits on gta4 prevent the full map from being possible, It's also going to look rough effects, weather and lighting wise as gtav has majorly boosted those. We can't port the timecyc as it has been set up to take the new lighting engine into consideration As for how this is possible, well whilst a lot of users in the PC thread were sat around bitching about cockstar and stuff, we've had tools to look at the games files for a while and work was being done on various fronts to see how much we could grab and transfer over due to similarities which is where we are at now with mapping problems and UV finally being figures out meaning it's enough to bring into gta4 as a tester and have something to mess with. *quote shortened, not altered* But, why are you guys wasting time behind porting to GTA IV? I'm gonna bypass all of what's been said and just say the one true reason, Modders are Curious and always looking to prove something. It's always exciting when a new GTA is released or a port because we want to see what versions, changes, etc, have been done to the code, set up, etc. This project, again, not all of us are working on it, is just a proof of concept that we already have tools capable of reading and extracting and even altering the formats that GTAV uses (which is good for the PC version of GTAV as we can hit the ground running unlike that period of slow growth with GTA IV). Porting it over to IV is just a concept to see if we can build and do things with the map and models/textures, etc accurately.
