That also works but it would also remove all the new added props in the pc map.

Are you sure that archive is complete because the only thing in there is vehfor.cs which was in the cleo folder the gta3.img is also missing

[Hillions]

Why ps2 textures archive doesn't have improvement textures folder (The original ps2 textures only fixed) but only default and optional?

Optional = Improvement

If we are imitating the PS2 map, what are you expecting?

The old PS2 parked vehicles had some cracks around the map, also the vehfor.cs script is dangerous for storyline and savegames, it breaks them. That's the reasons why the mod got removed from here.

Thanks for remind me of this since I have information. I've checked those a week ago or so, and those are the same on PS2. See the in-game clock time on those screenshots posted above. As you can see those are working fine but from 20:10 approximately until 20:55-20:59 then start to turning black slowly with each second it passes. Anyway, I would like to see what's really going on with those lights and fix them.

Is this good now? It feels over exaggerated, but I'm still trying to fix it.

Looks good. But yeah, is too bright. Try scaling it down a little bit.

[kebi]

The thing is, it feels too bright beacuse the light goes through the object and i've tried to fix it with no results. Also, if it has something to do with it, is that the lights are pre-made in the shop model and not these "lampshades".

Interesting, since I haven't checked this issue too deep as I should have made it. Probably those 2dfx lights can be adjusted through model edit. If I have some free time today, I'm gonna check it. By the way, send me via pm what are you doing to fix those, I'm interested.

[kebi]

Also, have anyone noticed these untextured bags above the Rockstar hoodie? I've seen them textured somewhere, but I can't find where.

 

 

EDIT. Found it.

Great job. Would you share those fixes, man?

You gave me an idea, lol.

How this looks? Opinions please?

Spoiler

 

What's the difference? Ambient value changed from 1.0 to 0.5, and night vertex colors removed. That's what's making those black.

 

EDIT:

The interior is darker than those pro-laps cubes with light because is night, and nvc shader is doing its work because it works correct there, unlike the lights.

Looks fine now, though anything is better then black cubes.

Good good. I'm suspecting the DS logo from Didier Sachs interior will have this issue as well since it includes nvc shader attached. Can you or someone check this on PS2 or PCSX2? At midnight time by the way.

Notice it's also happens to :

cj_burg1.dff

cj_burg2.dff

cj_pizza1.dff

cj_pizza2.dff

police_nb2.dff

 

and also,

paperchase01 - 08.dff it's kinda broken in night time.

Can't agree more, haha

EDIT.  ahh, much better 😁 

(paperchase_stairs.dff, paperchase_bits2.dff and other dff's related to this interior were also wrong, so I fixed them too.)

But that's NVC issue or what's going on exactly? I don't think those are this broken on PS2, or are they?

[kebi]

Yep, it's NVC bug.

[inadequate]

Hmmm. I think this it's too much, probably I'll look into later. If you don't mind... when you are done with all "broken" dff models, send me all of them via pm please.

[kebi]

Maybe they were wrongly converter or something, cuz I don't think they were broken like this on PS2. 

[ChenChanechi]

Wow, interesting mod! I can't believe I didn't find this before! Very useful, I really don't like how some props are gone but it's okay, at least the casino is back working.

[The Hero]

I think the problem with these models is that they have extra colour data in the dff but it's actually not being used (and hence thrown away) for rendering on PS2 due to the rendering pipeline. When running these files through my converter the (actually unused) extra colour data is not deleted but now the new reconstructed vertices from the conversion don't match with the original ones from the extra colours so it's all messed up. There are a few files like this and they were the reason for the explicit pipeline option in skygfx. By setting it to 1 the building pipeline will *only* be assigned if it's explicitly set by the file, which will not be the case in those broken cases.

[kebi]

I'll have to check if it's the same on the PS2.

[The Hero]

Most certainly not. This model shouldn't change colours between day and night.

[kebi]

I checked how it's on PS2, and as Hero said, it's working correctly. But something caught my attention. There is a room that is different than on the PC (sorry for the image quality)

I'm talking about this room

PC

 

[LaDiDa]

Looks like those models still contain the animation data for the pc's (typing on keyboard)... In other words another messed up thing in the PC version :s

[inadequate]

Main post has been updated:

• Skygfx updated to latest version.
• PS2 textures has been updated. Missing rock texture was restored.
• PS2 models has been updated, this time a step backwards. I have restored the package as how it was BEFORE the implementation of the PS2 interior models, since those have a lot of bugs and started to get out of the hand due to various reports, as can be seen above here and here. So, is recommended to delete the previous package before install this new one. Thanks to Zhunter_96 and Kebi for such reports and show how broken those models were. I would like to add them again but first I need to know what's really going on those models, since are the same ones used by the PS2 map and those work fine there. In the other hand I have added a few new models and restored a PS2 exclusive thing, the vegetation inside the LVPD building. Thanks to KDST.

Good. The models were a disaster, not anymore.

@Inadequate, When are you going to upload these Pro-Laps cubes?
