theNGclan 9,741 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 The only thing I'm having problems with on the cosmetic side are the hands. I can't edit the bump maps on them because of their file format and hands deform when driving and when blocking hits since they're designed for Trevor's YFD. If I use his YFD Niko won't have facial anims. We need model editing. Fast. Link to post Share on other sites

Member's Only 7,906 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Seems like rigged custom player models are coming. Hopefully you get around to porting all of GTA IV clothes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
theNGclan 9,741 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 That isn't a player model. It is a bunch of objects attached to an invisible player. Still very cool though. And yeah, I do plan on rigging things. Anyhow, clothing texture changes for snowy days. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
_CP_ 9,613 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It seems to be a trick, when normals are going up, texture is becoming white. Link to post Share on other sites

NikoBellicPoland 23 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Good job NGclan! When I'll finally get my PC version it will be definately my favourite mod. Also, I was wondering about Niko's hairstyle - is it possible yet to change his hair? I have some experience with IV's files, but I have no idea how V's models work, so I'm asking. Is it possible to give him one of the recolored Michael's or other ped's hair? Link to post Share on other sites

comet_ 4,801 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 A little green hoaxer came by and asked me to do a trailer for the new version of a mod he's been working on with his friend. It's almost finished. Until then, have a taste. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
theNGclan 9,741 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Currently researching how I can make this an override so the mod will be easier to install. Can somebody say DLC functionality? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
R4gN0r0K 1,644 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 DLC functionality! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
theNGclan 9,741 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I'm having a difficult time getting him to load as an override. I want him to function as DLC so-to-speak so that way his installation will be far easier. If all goes to plan, a voice can be packaged with him and whatnot. Also, here. Have a screenshot.

Claude_Lib 3,592 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I see no reason to change the installation method. Personally, the current way just feels right and isn't hard at all. But if it stands in the way of unmuting him, then good luck.

Stoney0503 6,228 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This mod makes me wonder why R* even decided to leave the Parent models in the game AND give them animations, I mean did they know that modders were gonna use them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Gravarty 924 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) You can use OpenIV's "Add Mod" Technique. With this you don't have to replace any files. Create a folder called "mods" in the main directory and copy "x64v" and the sound files into that folder. Edited August 6, 2015 by GTAGAME ☑ Link to post Share on other sites

Create a folder called "mods" in the main directory and copy "x64v" and the sound files into that folder. I am fully aware of this method and have been using it since I first found out about it. My main reason to having him function as a DLC is so that way core files will remain untouched, and this would allow me to add new content to the game without leaving a mess. This would also make it compatible with other mods on the data side of things. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
