ClaudX Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) These are nice. It'd be great to see the textures brought up to PS2 standards. What glitches are in the Vegas map?

Ss4gogeta0 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) sweet, is there any possibility of driv3r? no idea, still talking to a Driver 3 modder about that... the models for the map in Driv3r are split up and stuff and its a complete mess... if you were to port them, you would have to pretty much put the whole maps together like puzzles Edited April 13, 2015 by Ss4gogeta0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas would've been great to see. yea I know, but theres always next time... asked a couple of Driver modders about it and am waiting for them to get back to me btw, what ever happened to those GTA Brazil modders? Im sure they would be happy to see Rio de Janeiro as a map Edited April 13, 2015 by Ss4gogeta0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylabh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi, I'm one of the modders from Drivermadness. As you already noticed, the maps from the game can't be extracted properly (both single and multiplayer). I also encountered these issues when i tried to import a map in 3ds Max. A map can be imported piece by piece, but only with a certain amount of elements, each time, otherwise there is a memory issue. About the textures and the missing meshes, it seems that the tool can't read properly the data from the level (example from the log : "quad 9 (type=181 ofs=324) has invalid indices (or format is unknown) triangle 10 (type=172 ofs=344) has invalid indices (or format is unknown)). So for me the tool is not involved, but i think the models are not optimized like Ss4gogeta0 said earlier. The decoding of the files was quite difficult (they were several members to do that). So apart manually fix the levels in 3ds Max, there is not much to do. Ss4gogeta0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVladonPro Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 And how to pull out textures from model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCraig34 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Man I hope someone will be willing to make Chicago into San Andreas engine , it really has potential to be a decent map considering the size and the content that can be added to it Shame about Las Vegas though , that map would been perfect Ss4gogeta0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ss4gogeta0 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 And how to pull out textures from model ?well, for that you would need the actual obj... I can make one but the maps are very stubborn about the folder the textures have to be in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper3D Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just wondering why you're converting these Driver 2 maps? They seem a little too low-quality for GTA3 and obviously won't work on the top-down GTA's since there are no roofs. Even with the textures reworked I find the models a bit too lacking in details. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see any progress so keep up! I wish you have better luck converting Driv3r stuff. I really like all the cities (especially Nice) from that game, and with a bit (lot) of retexturing they could look excellent on 3d-era games. I take it you can already export Driv3r model and texture files, so I guess finding the correct coordinates for each map model should do the job? Or not, haven't really dug too deep into the subject. And even if it did, it'd still be a sh*tload of work unless you can come up with a script to do the job. I'll have to give it a look, since I still have my Driv3r disc on the shelf.

The resident Driver Modder Skylabh noted that the maps were seperated into pieces and would take ages to actually put back together as an actual usable map... its a huge mess... and the reason for the Driver 2 city conversions is because with a little love and care they can actually be usable and fixed up nicely... alot of people wanted a chicago map. now they got it... same with Rio de Janeiro... Havana was just an added bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inadequate Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 About the screens you posted, nice work by Reflections, the cities is bigger as f*ck. Amazing for a PS1 game. Ss4gogeta0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ss4gogeta0 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) About the screens you posted, nice work by Reflections, the cities is bigger as f*ck. Amazing for a PS1 game.lol yep, big as f*ck and unoptimized to hell... as VAIMAHDO says I've ripped the very first mission where you spawn in the alley, in this part is the only place you will ever fell a smooth framerate in the game. The amount of polygons in that area at that time is 1770. The average amount of polygons being rendered while running around Chicago is 2700-3944. This is definitely poor code optimization or too much code or a memory leak. But in Rio's canyon, far more polygons are being drawn. (Unless I cut the draw distance too far) Here's proof: But here's the trick question. How is it that after importing it into a 3D viewing program... I have performance issues with the tiny 3949 polygons? When my laptop can run 35000 just fine? Something is wrong here. Every face is split and counted as it's own mesh....

nine30 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi, Nice try, I already ripped parts of driv3r, especially "Nice" City in order to put it in my french riviera map mod. Textures are low but models cool, with 3d ripper you cant have all the map, thats not cool but you need time to past all parts btw them We never seen chicago in gta series, so try to keep this project, just add lot of details, make it Gta Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masny Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Cool! I always wondered how big are Driver's maps compare to GTA SA map. Maybe some day someone will convert it to SA and then everythings gonna be clear.. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK22Pac Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) But it's not even a conversion. Even if a conversion from such old game is allowed, it must be a conversion to put it into a Mod Showroom. It will be better if you first find guys who will convert this to GTA, and only after that - create a thread here. At this time I don't see how is this related to GTA modding.

At this time I don't see how is this related to GTA modding. extracted these in January... Been asking around since then but everyone was busy with their own projects or just werent interested, so I figured instead of letting these files rot on my hard drive, I could just post them so someone who is interested could use them So yea, better for me to make a topic for them and release instead of letting them get lost as time moves on... especially since I waited a number of months before I did so...
