SA Released San Andreas: BETA Edition

[Kalvin]

Winner of Best Total Overhaul in the Annual Awards 2014

San Andreas: BETA Edition is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with the goal of returning most, or if not all cut features in development (at least, what is known and/or is possible).

All information comes from several sources:
BradyGames' Official Strategy Guide
Official Pre-Release Screenshots
Left-over files in the game

There are no plans to make anything which has little to no proof of its existence in the Alpha/Beta stages of the game's development.
That means no Alcatraz, no small/blue parachute, etc.

BETA Idlewood Road by Ja750 & hlennarz:

I had a go this whole morning to work on the Idlewood Road.

Changes:
- fixed compatibility issues with SA Beta Edition
- added traffic lights for the new crossroads
- removed the 2 big palms (they were obviously added later, since with the old road they would have been right on the sidewalk)
- added a lamppost at the new road.

Stuff that needs to be done (I tried my best, but somebody else has to do it I believe ):
- Fix Staircase railings (I tried to seperate them into a new dff and place them at the correct position. It worked in Map Editor, but the game didn't like it .=/)
- Fix Pathway behind house
- NPC & Car Traffic addition

For if people did not want to install SA BETA, and instead wanted it separate, I released the BETA Mulholland Safehouse as a separate download, which can be found here.

For the best experience, I recommend you download this.

Like BETA mods? Be sure to check out Vice City: BETA Edition! Edited September 15, 2017 by Kalvin

How about beta vehicles? Are you also going to convert them?

How about beta vehicles? Are you also going to convert them?

If you mean Vice City vehicles, then no, as it would annoy me to have Vice City style vehicles along with other vehicles with a completely different style.

 

However, if you meant editing vehicles (like Bullet for example) then I might get around to it at some point.

Yes, I meant about editing current vehicles. There are some major/minor differences between beta (not vc style, since it will be a pain in ass to redo 100+ of vehicles) and retail. Refer to this video:

Please don't let this one die, this will be one of few perfect TCs (imo ) once it's completed. That doesn't mean it's not good now, btw. heheh

You got a worthy competitor. http://www.youtube.com/user/BLACK380ful Anyway... Good luck with the mod. I hope you'll finish it.

[ClaudX]

Usually I'm not a fan of the numerous Beta mods out there, but this one is presented well, has shown actual progress, and I've seen Kalvin's work before, so I'm know that something good will come out from this.

Missing props outside The Four Dragons Casino are back, at their original coordinates (actually they're like .14 off from the original, but shh)

Oooh, lovely stuff! They look really nice when illuminated too. Nice work!

[Snoops27]

Nice one Kefflon. I'll be sure to use.

[TJGM]

Damn that looks nice. I never really listened when people talked about missing props in LV since I thought it was something like a few trees and lampposts, but they are really nice.

 

One thing though, why is it that some of those lanterns have coronas and some don't? Not sure if that's because you don't have some sort of corona limit installed and only those few appear? Or R* only added a few because they had didn't want to increase the corona limit.. I think it'd look much better if they all had coronas.

[Z i X]

In the alpha, they used Vice City cars as placeholders
later in beta, they used different vehicles.
Anyways good luck with the mod.
I am also willing to join, I can convert vehicles and weapons to GTA SA.

[Kalvin]

I believe they all have coronas (but didn't pay much attention), unless you think the left/right side is the same image (left is day-right is night), there's not much difference in lighting between the crop so I can see how you didn't notice (that is, if you didn't)

[TJGM]

unless you think the left/right side is the same image (left is day-right is night)

Yup, I did not notice that. Looks great anyway, good job.

[johnthedev]

Wow i love it.

[Sentrion]

Looks good so far Kalvin. Keep it up.

[Kalvin]

Adrenaline's back!

[uokka]

Nice one. Something I think is actually worth bringing back.

 

Maybe you also do the Car Impond radar icon appear after you car got taken by the cops (to be used with SilentPatch).

Edited September 22, 2014 by uokka

[savidge]

Awesome. Just plain awesome. Can't wait to see what's next.

[Neddo]

Will there ever be a beta mod that contains beta map? I mean the map that can be found in UFO caffes. It haves Alcatraz and many rivers aren't present

[BMWSauberF1.08]

I know that he did the beta airport
