MAJEST1C_R3 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Did you convert collision for maps? It's good to have Stories map on VC/SA, but I'd like explore map using car or bike. Yes (look for them at first page), but collisions not linked with models and have different IDs Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/686322-storiesrel-converted-maps/?do=findComment&comment=1065185189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodidea82 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm happy to read about this. Would be great if the collisions could be linked with objects. Generally, the more can be automated the better.

MAJEST1C_R3 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm happy to read about this. Would be great if the collisions could be linked with objects. Generally, the more can be automated the better. Unfortunately after a lot of tries to find some links between models and collisions I have no result . Also I don't have found links between normal models and LODs. In Stories instead of single IPL files used hundreds of frequently switching worlds which have it local coord system. Here for examlpe one of those worlds (Red - near, other - LOD). As you see single world of the map contains only few highpoly models near center of local coord system and a lot of lowpoly models which we call LODs, Instead of checking for every model on the map distances of appearing from player position in Stories used checking only world local position from player, so if player located near necessary radius from world local position - game load whole world and all models in it no matter has player all those models on sight or not.

zmudziak32 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Will be great, if you find a way matching Lods, cols and hi-poly models like in III/VC/SA. Still good work.

MAJEST1C_R3 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Why do we need a converter if you released the maps? 1) Fixed bug with pixelated textures in VC 2) Added automated optimization procedure which discard a lot of unused stuff. 3) Included backface culling patcher for VC 4) Gives to users ability to customise converting process as they wish PS.

MAJEST1C_R3 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for the tool! In Stories instead of single IPL files used hundreds of frequently switching worlds which have it local coord system. Strange In Stories used very interesting map system. Here how it looks like: Each dot = world, which has its models placed relatively from its local coord system. Now count how much worlds the map contains at all Sweet Bellic, alex8ball and TJGM 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/686322-storiesrel-converted-maps/?do=findComment&comment=1065195405 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I made a mass LOD exporter, which exports LOD's from models (let's say you have 6 dff's imported, it allows you to export all of the LOD's from those models) But having to sort the games real models, and LOD's would take quite a while.

(in addition, GTA could easily be changed to use 'world-local' streaming, this is what I don't like about people who provide just a tool without any format documentation to perform missing tasks such as finding object names, placing fake collisions and even reworking streaming) Edited April 16, 2014 by NTAuthority Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/686322-storiesrel-converted-maps/?do=findComment&comment=1065198482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaL_Leone Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Only around 10% of LCS map models have more polys than III/VC(don't know coll limit in SA)can support.So you can replace them with blank colls and then create lowpoly colls from stratch. BTW all(almost all) VCS colls are in VCS VC mod.They easily can be converted to SA/III Edited April 16, 2014 by SaL_Leone Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/686322-storiesrel-converted-maps/?do=findComment&comment=1065198716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need at all for collisions to be linked to a building if modifying the game. 2) I think this data should be in DTZ or ELFYet the models themselves are in the world IMGs, as I doubt they'd be in GTA3PS2?
