vc released Vice City - The Leftovers Fix

[Igor Bogdanoff]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Leftovers Fix
(An original idea by SpooferJahk)


For some reason Rockstar Games ported Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from PlayStation 2 to the PC platform with a potato and because that, the game has lost features and has missing things which has been seen first time in PS2. This mod will restore them with little modifications and some improvements by our part.

If you don't know what I'm speaking about, I recommend watching these Videos first.

fixed walk_fat so the left arm doesn't twitch between the first and last frames
replaced the death animation for getting shot in the stomach with one converted from GTA 3, as it looks more visually interesting
fixed RIFLE_fire so the last frame matches up with the idling animation and the weapon doesn't slide out of Tommy's left hand
fixed one frame in the minigun/flame thrower animation where tommy's arms twitch to the left
imported some animations from PS2 including the weapon idling stances, some woman walking animations, and the middle finger gesture which now an "up yours!" instead
created a new idle animation for the rocket launcher, so it matches the others and isn't just one plain pose
fixed one of the death animations so the last frame is exactly the same pose as a normal corpse and isn't off
replaced one of the jogging animations as they were originally both identical, female joggers now jog like in san andreas
added an idle animation to the knife so it isn't just one pose, made using the fist-fighting stance
modified the talking, head-scratching, taxi-hailing, and waiting animations so the legs can move independently, allowing for peds to scratch their heads while running or talk to each other while roller skating in place
replaced the female idling stance with one converted from GTA3
added finger movements to a handful of animations that lacked them, for the head-scratching animation you can actually see their fingers move up and down!
modified some animations to reduce leg-jiggling
run-stopping animations have been redone, they are now based on sprint_civi instead of run_civi and the transition to the idling animation has been made smoother
the pistol-firing animation for cops has been changed so it isn't identical to the python one, the legs now stay in one place

Very useful, nice mod. Waiting for more fixes.

 

EDIT:

Other thing, I think is not a bug but would be nice if gets fixed on some aspect. The Auntie Poulet model has wrong lipstick on PC and uses the PS2 clothes (if i'm not wrong with this), if you can or anybody port the PS2 model to PC would be perfect.

That might be in the PS2 TXD file for her, I will look into the PS2 files and see if I can ultimately replace it .

 

EDIT: Found her TXD from my PS2 copy and working on testing it to see if it worked. This will come in the next update if I can HOPEFULLY get the map errors fixed. If not, I will release it as another update before the map fixes happen.

Thanks to inadequate for pointing it out, I managed to get Auntie Poulet's model from the PS2 version working in the PC version and the OP will be updated with the link to the respective TXD file.

[Jago]

been snooping around my PS2 disc's files and found some of the textures/models shown in the video plus some more. here's a pack with some conversions made using THE HERO's wonderful toolset, might be missing some stuff as it's a lot to keep track of. includes:

• country club golf ball statues (gf_hedge1.txd, lower-res than the PC texture so it may need touching up/remaking)
• Japanese tourist with skin-colored camera on PC (jmoto.txd)
• original Jocksport signage, though I think there's still a few more I need to find (dts_shops.txd, nbchdrtrack.txd, nbtshopfronts02.txd)
• Vice Point Langer (od_chariot.txd)
• Carnicero Romero with Hilary Briss portrait (funhiati.txd, missing the accompanying building model as I don't know the name of it)
• Reefer model with extra colored bit
• golf tee flags (gf_flagstees1-6.dff, textures are in the PC version already)
• Ammunation window sign (mall_ammuwin.dff, textures are in the PC version already)
• original weapon models and textures, includes full-quality HUD textures (some models may not be different)
• green store block (od_bigshops2.txd, also lower-res)
• "uncensored" laundromat phone number (litthabg1.txd, also lower-res)
• different girly mags/posters used in some interior in Little Haiti (LH_PWInterior.txd, also lower-res)

all of the txds are in straight 32-bit format so if you wanted to use them as a mod you'd have to make them compatible (through compression, 8pp, etc), or set up a new img using gta_vc.dat and add them to that, then delete the files in gta3.img. this is because for whatever reason, vice city doesn't like uncompressed textures in gta3.img and will refuse to make them appear in game. I wouldn't recommend it though as the game doesn't apply texture filtering under certain conditions for reasons I don't understand, so it looks wonky unless it's hud stuff.

 

I know the weapon models will work fine just inserted in-game, but I don't know about the others so use them at your own risk. I tried doing something like this before and I know for sure that the golf flags are riddled with flipped faces, so those are definitely going to need toying with in a modelling program. damn, now I want to try getting 3ds max on this dinky laptop. I think I may start polishing some of this stuff up, god help me

Looks like there is more missing than I thought... dang. Well dang, didn't think the PC version of Vice City had this much cut from the PS2 version.

I swear, looking through the files of both the PS2 and PC makes me think that the PC version was made using mostly outdated assets, instead of the missing stuff simply being omissions. the PC version has tons more unused models and many different things have inconsistencies and errors that were already cleared up in the PS2 release. the only time it has newer stuff is when it had to be changed for legal reasons (like the Ruger and phone number). that being said, this project has a lot going for it. if we extended to sound and text then we could also include the original Flash FM and the audio for The Driver, as well as roll back the weapon names to their PS2 counterparts. should be pretty easy though, it's mostly grunt work

I also wonder if that was the result of Vice City being built on GTA III's PC port by any chance. I mean the GTA III leaves, newspapers, and even fire effect were left in the game so it could have been a rushed port. It came out the year after it's initial PS2 release by a fairly short margin so maybe Rockstar was rushed a bit with getting all the assets ported into the PC version. Even with the features kind of removed it still is a solid version of the game at least, much better than sh*te ports like Saints Row 2 where playing it on the console is practically mandatory unlike here where it is just recommended if fixes were not available.

• country club golf ball statues (gf_hedge1.txd, lower-res than the PC texture so it may need touching up/remaking)
• Vice Point Langer (od_chariot.txd)
• golf tee flags (gf_flagstees1-6.dff, textures are in the PC version already)

Hero's convertor convert them badly:

 

Jock sports, Vice point langer, country club golf ball statues in higher resolution.

 

 

 

Here all textures in one link, because that filehost sucks.

lh_haiblockc3.dff is used for building with Hilary Briss poster, but even after converting dff I don't have him there and plus it f*cks up building which is next to this

[BMWSauberF1.08]

i think that i can fix it,send me the bugged dffs that mr jago converted

 

edit:send me also their textures

sorry but i can't fix them and there's no way to save the original prelight

 

zmodeler and seggaeman's plugin for max can't import the files and once imported with kam's script they'll lose the prelight

 

edit:if someone can send me the ps2 .dff as .3ds (after importing the converted ps2 files with kam's scripts),i can remap the pc ones by using their original uvmap

Nice, waiting for more fixes.

 

Any news of this one?

 

 

 

 

[BMWSauberF1.08]

i you can send me ps2 one in 3ds format,i can just fix the uv map of the pc one,so the dff will be okay

[SpooferJahk]

A small teaser update, did a small edit to the weapons that you all may appreciate...

[BMWSauberF1.08]

I found a member that gave me the .3ds files,today i'll remap correctly the pc dffs

[Inadequate]

been snooping around my PS2 disc's files and found some of the textures/models shown in the video plus some more. here's a pack with some conversions made using THE HERO's wonderful toolset, might be missing some stuff as it's a lot to keep track of. includes:

• country club golf ball statues (gf_hedge1.txd, lower-res than the PC texture so it may need touching up/remaking)
• Japanese tourist with skin-colored camera on PC (jmoto.txd)
• original Jocksport signage, though I think there's still a few more I need to find (dts_shops.txd, nbchdrtrack.txd, nbtshopfronts02.txd)
• Vice Point Langer (od_chariot.txd)
• Carnicero Romero with Hilary Briss portrait (funhiati.txd, missing the accompanying building model as I don't know the name of it)
• Reefer model with extra colored bit
• golf tee flags (gf_flagstees1-6.dff, textures are in the PC version already)
• Ammunation window sign (mall_ammuwin.dff, textures are in the PC version already)
• original weapon models and textures, includes full-quality HUD textures (some models may not be different)
• green store block (od_bigshops2.txd, also lower-res)
• "uncensored" laundromat phone number (litthabg1.txd, also lower-res)
• different girly mags/posters used in some interior in Little Haiti (LH_PWInterior.txd, also lower-res)

all of the txds are in straight 32-bit format so if you wanted to use them as a mod you'd have to make them compatible (through compression, 8pp, etc), or set up a new img using gta_vc.dat and add them to that, then delete the files in gta3.img. this is because for whatever reason, vice city doesn't like uncompressed textures in gta3.img and will refuse to make them appear in game. I wouldn't recommend it though as the game doesn't apply texture filtering under certain conditions for reasons I don't understand, so it looks wonky unless it's hud stuff.

 

I know the weapon models will work fine just inserted in-game, but I don't know about the others so use them at your own risk. I tried doing something like this before and I know for sure that the golf flags are riddled with flipped faces, so those are definitely going to need toying with in a modelling program. damn, now I want to try getting 3ds max on this dinky laptop. I think I may start polishing some of this stuff up, god help me

 

Anybody can compress this to get work in PC, without creating other .IMG

Nice.

That's the plan, already got some parts in there as it is.

Can someone tell me which are the holes that were left in the ps2 state?

Or are they all f*cked up?
