[X-Seti]

 

yer i found out the hard way about crasjing..lol, im a Speed frek, and a demo derby fan..lol

GTA: Demolition Derby, Now this is an Idea.

 

I will post known problems on the first page of this thread, I hope we won't be repeating whats been posted already.

[Y_Less]

Before you download Parts 2, 3 and 4, Make sure before you unpack the mod you have:

 

GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part01.exe

GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part02.rar

GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part03.rar

GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part04.rar

 

That part of your release post is very ambiguous, how can we make sure we have parts 2, 3 and 4 before we download them?

[X-Seti]

Is there anyway to remove the water from the tunnel entrances? I’m not sure if you have got that far yet so it doesn’t really matter. I just can’t wait to get down there for some reason. lol

 

With the bigger map brings new problems, One of which is a tool needed to modify the water.dat and waterpro.dat files

 

Delfi's Datatool, isn't able to mod SOL, because of all the engine and map size changes.

 

Plus there is a problem with the hardcoded water level in the exe.

 

 

 

 

[***TGR***]

I still have'nt got around to trying it out, will do this afternoon tho!

 

 

Well this suck's.

 

There was a problem with your download request

The file you are requesting has gone over the bandwidth limit

 

Only sucks cause you where to slow , but gtagarge has added the download to there site so you'll be able to download it from there without restriction GTAGarge GTA-SOL

 

 

But from all them screenies this looks better than I thought it would, wel done Mc-Kay and team on this beta version

 

[The-end]

Coool i never knew you ported fun island to sol Or isn't it included?

 

- The-end

[JostVice]

Says:

 

 

CRC failed in GTA-SOLPubBeta42v5\models\gta3.img

Unexpected end of archive

[Ryder15]

I finaly got ht Plane Picture..lol

Hmmm that Cant be good

 

[X-Seti]

Note: Some people say that they do not read the readme files (How to install) that comes with most mods, Well if you are one of those people then your not going to beable to install the mod, You be wasting your time downloading this mod, if you don't follow the instructions on how to unpack the mod. (This means reading the README_Installdoc) aswell.

 

All these files are on GTAGarage.

 

How to unpack: There are 4 file parts to this mod that have to be unpacked in a same folder together. (Once you have all the parts)

 

You will notice that the first file has been zipped twice.

 

This is because GTAGarage does not allow for EXE's to be uploaded, So I have had to zip the EXE that is in the first GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part00.rar file.

 

Unpack this file on it's own first before you download anything else!!!!

 

This will give you the GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part01.exe, the header file needed to unpack the rest of the mod.

 

Once you have done the above, continue to download the rest of the files.

 

Part 2: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part02.rar

Part 3: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part03.rar

Part 4: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part04.rar

 

When you have all the files together in a folder (It does not matter what folder),

click on GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part01.exe to unpack the mod.

 

If you have any problems installing the mod, Please follow the readme file that is in the mod

folder and can also be downloaded from GTAG.

 

Once you have installed the mod and it's running, I mean you have played it once or twice,

then grab the update file and replace the existing maps folder with the new updated map folder.

Yees, I download firts the 00, and last the other, but says it when says ''locate the ...part3'' I downlad the parts some times and =

[X-Seti]

So you downloaded the first file, and unpacked it first

 

Then you should get the other 3 files. ?

 

I can't think of a better way to do this, because there is a limit on GTAG

 

 

 

 

[JostVice]

Yes.

 

I try to download all the part now and when i go to extract the part 00 (the exe file) says it is corrupt I think this sistem is a sh*t

[X-Seti]

Umm ok, thats a quick fix.

 

I need to know if people are having problems downloading and unpacking the mod.

 

?

[GT-1]

Your post doesn't particularly help the cause either, it’s a system that does work. Obviously you could help out and host the file yourself though if the system is that bad? Anyway, I haven't downloaded the files but if Mc-Kay packed them correctly and they uploaded correctly then there shouldn't be a problem. Just wondering though Mc-Kay when winRAR splits them into archives it starts with the first been *name*.part01.rar usually and the one everyone is mentioning is *name*.part00 also is there any particular reason that the file part is an exe as opposed to the others been .rar?

 

Just a couple of small things that probably don't really matter either way. In the past when I have split the archive it has always worked without problem as you can see on the Myriad Site.

 

Lastly, Mc-Kay... I know you said you had a few problems uploading to GTAG you might want to check yourself if you can download them all and unzip them correctly.

[nath247]

Installer doesnt seem to install correctly into the game dir, Instead i have to make it install all the files to a temp folder and then copy the contents of it to the VC folder.

That part of your release post is very ambiguous, how can we make sure we have parts 2, 3 and 4 before we download them?

What I believe he's saying is that before you try unpacking this mod, make sure that you

have the "EXE" program and then

the other ones because the "EXE" is what makes it install.

I'm going to re-upload the mod..

 

3 parts this time, your need to download them all before you can unpack the mod.

 

I dont know what the problem is, but here goes.

 

 

[X-Seti]

Installer doesnt seem to install correctly into the game dir, Instead i have to make it install all the files to a temp folder and then copy the contents of it to the VC folder.

Thats the best way for now, there is a bug in windows Xp that doesn't always remove the read only flag from all the files.

 

Sometimes when the installer copies over those files, some seems to be skipped.

 

I'm repacking the mod anyhow.. problems with people downloading from GTAG.

[X-Seti]

Ok, I've begun to upload the mod.

 

There will be 3 file parts to this mod that have to be unpacked in a same folder together.

 

This is because GTAGarage does not allow for large files to be uploaded, so I have to break them down into 3 parts.

 

You will need to download all 3 parts, and only then beable to unpack and install the mod.

 

Part 1: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part01.rar

Part 2: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part02.rar

Part 3: GTA-SOLBeta42v5.part03.rar

 

If you have any problems installing the mod, Please follow the readme file that is in the mod

folder and can also be downloaded from GTAG.

 

Once you have installed the mod and it's running, (I mean you have played it once or twice),

then grab the update file and replace the existing maps folder with the new updated map folder.

 

 

[shintoz]

Have you put GTA Rally Island in yet? I haven't been able to find it and it would be cool if you guys finished it. Maybe you could incorporate it into MML?

[shintoz]

This area in MML near the bridge to Liberty City is buggy:

Also, the game crashed when my sentinel crashed into this wall in Liberty City

I've found that almost everytime I play that I end up with a crash somehow- and it's not always because of my car flipping. It seems to get particularly unstable once you end up with damage.

[Ryder15]

when ever you crash realy bad, were ever you are the game will crash, its a bug in the EXE

[poiman]

this mod is for GTA VICE CITY isn't it?

[Quadropheniac90]

No, we ported the whole VC engine with VC rendering and VC peds to SA. Yes, it's for VC.

.:Teun:.

[X-Seti]

Well there is no harm in promoting safe driving.

 

I might think about a mission or two, or if you fail a mission your computer gets rebooted.

 

JK hehe, Go slow until we fix the bug, and don't use speed hacks.

[X-Seti]

GTA rally can be found South West of VC.. its not finished yet as its the original final release from Jonny.

 

I might add a seawell and more land to round off that island.

 

[Beermuda]

What's UP Fools Beermuda has arrived

any way check this I was over at another unmentionable forum that a certain mod team uses cough cough lvs cough lame cough and let me tell you those guys suck ( hold on let me grab a beer) I mean seriously how can you mess with the the State Of Liberty crew ? does it make sense I think not. Lets face facts State Of Liberty has the best team around will besides that one idiot Wired Wizard ( Does he even know how to mod ?) but he is cool great site dude don't mind my insults on ya I know this shizit is hard. (need another beer) But seriously those guys over at LVS are a bunch of clowns and to be honest I think they are jealous I mean I am by no means a Modeling GOD or anything but man how hard is it to release a real playable Demo or something SOL has done it when other said it coudln't be done ( stick that in your empty beer bottle) But anyway You guys keep up the great work I know that you have many more surprises up your collective sleeves I am going to go play some SOL now
