SAxVCxLC - VC and LC in San Andreas

[PlatinumSerb]

 

All 3 cities in one map!

Hey guys here is a project I have been working on the past couple of months. I shared a video about it in fastmans limit adjuster topic a while back and now I'm finally ready for a public release. In a couple of weeks I wont really have much time to work on it anymore, so I figured I might as well release it before it goes to waste. I do not like writing long posts so I'll get straight to the point.

About:
SAxVCxLC basically adds Vice City and Liberty City into the San Andreas map with the use of fastman92's limit adjuster. In addition to adding VC and LC, I have also created a new seafloor to cover the much larger map and there is now a temporary land addition north of Liberty City. Maybe eventually I will make something up there but for now its just there so that the LC cliffs do not just abruptly end.

The mod works with an original main.scm, although I have only tested the first couple of missions. Since it doesn't change any of the original game files, I don't see why it would not work throughout the whole story line.

Important Note: I do not intend to have this mod be competition for SOL/Underground. We have two different goals. SOL/Underground intends to create a much more immersive mod, while the intention of my release is to provide modders with a base to build their own mods.

This mod is intended to be free for anyone to use. If you wish to use these files to create your own mod, feel free to do so, all I ask is that you give credit.


Media(Screenshots/Videos):
I'm sure most of you have already seen all of the cities in this mod, but here are a few screenshots of how VC and LC look in this mod. San Andreas has been left untouched, so no point of showing it.

Those can easily be added throughout VC and LC. Currently the focus is to get all the basic features into a stable build.

[Inadequate]

Amazing, finally all GTA III era maps in one game, looking forward this.

[sn95]

Nice work.

Dang, thats my fault I forgot to include the new water.dat. You can download it here if you would like.

[dkluin]

Glad to see it's being released, great job btw.

[Swoorup]

Congratulations on pulling this off PlatinumSerb.

[terasss]

Looking good, it might even be better than GTA United if you add missions to it too. But, isn't San Andreas supposed to be in the South-West instead of the center?

I don't think he's going to add missions..

My mod would have missions later on, but that's another story.

[PlatinumSerb]

Correct I don't plan on adding a whole story/missions. Anyone else can feel free to do that with this mod though!

It looks nice! And you spelled "dkluin" wrong btw.

[Uzzi47]

You will add LC/VC gangs too?

Didn't he say no paths and anything? Read the topic with understanding.

Paths will be included. I will likely release something today or tomorrow. No idea about gangs, I will look into it.

There's a limit of 10 gangs which you have to sort.

• Fixed collisions in LC, taller buildings should now have solid tops.
• Fixed random buildings in LC(mostly landSW and landNE)
• Removed static planes from VC and LC airports
• Added parked planes/baggage to LC and VC airports
• Fixed single-sided Sunshine Autos fence
• Replaced/Added vending and arcade machines in VC

For some reason I am not able to login to GTAGarage. The GTANet staff is currently working on a fix, once that is resolved I'll upload the mod onto GTAGarage.

This is great. I will go to download once I open my PC.

 

NOTE: You can make GTA 5 HUD by DK22Pac compatible with this mod? Because I try it and game crash....
