[WIP|BETA|SA] GTA: Underground - Mod Discussion

[gtaragemachine]

I'm trying to understand the logic behind encrypting the files. You submit a mod to a community of modders who have collectively worked together to overcome Rockstars' efforts only to turn on them and do exactly what Rockstar tries to do; That is to prevent others from modding THEIR (the users) GAME. You have overstepped your bounds in my opinion and I hope you reconsider your decision to encrypt this mod. Otherwise many others, myself included will unfortunately look for something else (or do it ourselves).

 

You know how you like to have the game the way you like it? Ya, well so do I, and many others. I don't want to come across as rude but read what I said above about Rockstar and think about the history of GTA and the modding community. Don't 5hit on the modding community please.

Another thing I am going to fix, is the radio station volume option not affecting the current played station's volume.

[Mr.Arrow]

The mod is encrypted for good reasons.

Yes,people keep telling that open source helps contribute the owner's work.While it looks good on paper,but actually it does more harm than you think.You've jerks that will plagiarize your work,and claim it as their own.Not to mention,these very kind of people will upload it on a shady website,making it impossible to shut down these copycats.

In the end,it's the author that will suffer the most.We're talking abot total conversion mod that will probably take months,or years depending on how ambitious the mod is.

Alright, finished the radio station script feature where it remembers the last station you tuned into and picks that instead.

[Igor Bogdanoff]

Maybe installing it to clean SA 1.0 installation folder?

[Glisp]

You obviously didn't read my post before the last one I made. Typical. I'm also not going to reinstall the game over a stupid full conversion mod either. Why do that when I can just make a new directory?

 

If you guys need it, here's the crash log: http://pastebin.com/FVpeHucU

 

Point me to what I'm doing wrong. Yes it's the steam version but if you read the post above, you'll know that I've done everything to make files readable.

Look, we both know the mod is still in early stages and big in size.The installation process itself doesn't work 100% of the time.

 

Just come back in a few months and start over, eventually it will work for you.

Once again, if the problem isn't solved it means you'll just have more people coming to this thread complaining about the same thing. And if I'm not the only one having this issue, it's clearly something the modders have done or overlooked. Hopefully, the crashlog I posted in my previous post gets the devs somewhere. I dunno about these devs but having people being unable to play my mod would totally bum me out and I'd do everything in my power to solve the problem.

I had the same problem and i solved it by playing a bit with the folders and settings.

 

I moved my entire GTASA folder to C:/Games and launched gta_sa.exe as an administrator. After a while it suddenly stopped crashing so i guess you can start there.

 

There are also lots of tutorials on youtube if you haven't checked them out.

Friendly reminder to use the Bug Tracker feature next time you'd like to report a bug instead of the main topic. The Bug Tracker page is also linked in the OP.

 

Thanks!

Would you guys like it if I release the new version today?

 

It's quite stable actually and I've pretty much done alot of fixing (when it was still labeled as Patch 10) + we now have to do some additions to the original version just to get the downgrade popup in, the snapshot 2.2 introduction text (will actually cause spam/confusement if I don't).

 

However I noticed that we have lag zones again, since we actually have a complete water map, but this will be resolved in the future.

[AjdarFan]

I thought I only need to apply latest patch, however in your bug tracker website, you stated to an user who uses 9.1 patch to apply patch 9 first, then 9.1. Do I need to apply all patches in order, to make my game less-buggy? A youtube video who gives instruction for this mod about how to install it, says you only need to install latest patch.

I would be very happy if you´ll do that.

You will only need Snapshot 2.1, and the latest patch (excluding 9.1 which requires Patch 9.)

They were working fine, also, who are you to pretend to be in the team?!

is this badly written question without question mark or are you trying to fool some people that you are part of the team?

First of all try to actually say what is wrong, as now all you said is "not work", literally, it's not useful, is it?

Not exactly, he really likes the mod so he tries to prove others with his broken english that he is a developer. But obviously, his previous attempts showed a "much better version" called GTA Aboveground in a video which shows an edited clip where he edits it a bit so it shows both default SA and United with some editing.

 

-------------

Me and Xinerki are preparing the release version now. We have a few savegame issues which we need to resolve, first. It's going to be done tommorow. Sorry I couldnt finish it today

Just a quick question about the installation of the upcoming Snapshot 2.2, dkluin.

 

After I remove the Snapshot 2.1 and install 2.2, do I still need Patch 9.1 or what?

It will be an entirely new snapshot, so I take it the patches will be useless.

[Mr.Kurowski]

Good ^^. Now this topic won't be bothered with full spammy posts.

And dkluin can post new announcements without having to worry about spammers anymore. That's nice.

[zanesix]

Oh thank f*ck.

[dkluin]

Listen up everyone:

 

From now on, ALL bug reports, installation problems or other issues regarding this mod must be posted into this topic.

This topic will be used for general discussion, announcements and to showcase the mods progress.

Anything that does not belong in this topic will be removed or moved into the other topic.

 

Thank you.

Thanks Chris and Sergiu! Appriceate it

 

-------------

Some info on the Snapshot 2.2 version:

 

-Has more in-depth readme files which all indicate that if there is a problem/issue, it should be posted in the seperate threat

-Includes a special mod made by Xinerki which serves as an addon for VC HUD colors

-UGMP can now be classed as semi-dead, i'll have to clear things up with the other author.

Well unforunately, there's no explaination to said problem. A lot of people are having it. I detailed what's happening several posts above. you can install the mod all you want but sometimes it just doesn't want to work. Hopefully the standalone release solves these problems. If and when it ever comes out.

[AjdarFan]

I thought you only need to install snapshot and latest patch, but on your bug tracker website, some guy stated a crash about cluckin bell and burger shot interior, and you said him to install patch 9 first, then patch 9.1. Do i need to install all patches in order, to make my game work better, or something else?

Patch 9.1 is "A quick fix" meaning that it probably is just a hotfix to make a certain thing that was broken work again, similar to how main patches don't contain all the files and therefore require the main snapshot to be installed first. Think of it as the patch for the patch, so you need to install the snapshot first then the main patch and then the patch for the patch.
