The GTA V beta hunt

[BS_BlackScout]

Insane that you're pulling this off. Outstanding!

[Nyfyr]

Man some of these original endings sounded f*cking bonkers lol

 

Perhaps they wanted to give Trevor the Jack Nicholson treatment?

Sounded more like the ending of Terminator 2

Wouldn’t’ve been the first time they basically copied a scene from that movie

I finally managed to write the decompression algorithm for PS3 .CDR vertices, and I’m getting the correct geometry with properly decompressed index buffer faces. It really wasn’t easy; I’ve rarely been this stuck on an encoding issue

I can now convert the entire geometry of all the CDRs, and I’ll work on porting the group shaders later for a complete render.

I’ll post tomorrow.

Well done Transmet!

god damn!
you are amazing!
so you can now view the mesh correctly?

I ask myself the same

After spending several hours decoding the relative positioning of the compressed vertex buffers (a part of compression algorithm), I’m back with some interesting results.

Here’s v_6_aliens.cdr; the aliens are positioned this way in the Zancudo bunker (probably on operating tables)

There are also other fairly similar alien models in the Zancudo bunker; some appear to be placed in preservation tanks (thanks @Antasurris, for pointing that out to me)

I still need to work on porting the shaders group and decoding the UVs and normals. I’ll also convert the CTYP and CMAP to bring the beta to GTA V on PC.

 

The staging is probably similar to that of the movie Independence Day.

they seem to be more straight forward since the format is very similar to PC i assume

since it´s just xml
maybe it just requires the endian

there is some tool that allows you to view that stuff with offsets and such

Is it true That Franklin Original name Back in 2010 was Ariano Sanchez

يبدو أنها أكثر وضوحًا نظرًا لأن التنسيق مشابه جدًا لجهاز الكمبيوتر الشخصي، على ما أعتقد

نظرًا لأنه مجرد XML،
ربما يتطلب الأمر فقط endian

هناك بعض الأدوات التي تسمح لك بعرض تلك الأشياء مع الإزاحات وما إلى ذلك

yeah seems to be

his phone textures and phone gxt strings still have ari in it

and there are some leftovers too

نعم يبدو أن

لا تزال أنسجة هاتفه وسلاسل هاتفه gxt تحتوي على ari

وهناك بعض البقايا أيضا

Guys, before @Transmet wraps up the full conversion, I had to share some shots of the interior!

Just like we all fantasized about ~12 years ago, there's an autopsy room with three aliens laid out on tables, and even better, a cryochamber with three more aliens floating in tanks. The place is honestly bigger than I expected

 

 

It took 12 years, but we finally made it... We're finally worthy

You should just dump everything.

The kit's hdd already has been dumped, it's just all encrypted which is the time consuming part. It's on archive dot org. So if anybody is looking to give it a shot themselves, "1400a 2454" is what you're looking for.

Жесткий диск комплекта уже скопирован, просто нужно его расшифровать, что занимает много времени. Он находится на archive dot org. Так что, если кто-то хочет попробовать сам, «1400a 2454» — это то, что вам нужно.

 

so there is already a copied beta version of GTA 5?

1400a 2454 and there's a straight build of the game or just files

[JohnCGaming]

The North Yankton Highway Patrol have unique voice lines, but are they used in game? Or is that cut/beta content? I played the prologue again and don't hear them.

Thank you very much for it. Collected it. Next question how open *.img? What programs for install and read img archive?

You need a tool to decrypt the .img (the hdd) using the included eid root key. https://github.com/aerosoul94/PS-HDD-Tools this is a notable one, though https://archive.org/details/ps3_hdd_decrypt might be better and faster.

Insane find honestly, any idea where this would have been located specifically? My best guess is that it would have been involved with the elevator that opens below where the UFO spawns but I could be wrong

Under Zancudo Bunker, yes

Edited April 1 by HeySlickThatsMe

[Transmet]

The idea is now to directly convert CDR files to YDR in order to reconstruct interiors (such as the Zancudo bunker) in GTA V on PC. The program is already capable of building YDR files, but it still needs some adjustments for the heuristic conversion of PS3-to-PC shader materials to ensure a clean result. Currently, I am integrating a transcoding feature for CTD to YTD.
 

The converted GTA V PS3 Beta interiors will soon be published on modding websites.

Once I’m done, I will also release cdr2ydr on my GitHub.
