lockout18yt 7 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Good day sir! Listen, I've got a cool idea. So, this mod is great, lovely, but it's missing something, IVF and Vehfuncs adaptation. Now, you could just download the "Original vehicles adapted to IVF", but that would only mod the original gta sa cars. What if you could adapt ALL of the 3d unverse cars to IVf and Vehfuncs? That's my goal as a modder. My "idea" is this: I adapt these cars, and you put them as an optional mod in the download. How does that sound? Link to post Share on other sites

TheJanox824 2 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Hello, I want to report a bug. The traffic in some parts of Liberty City is traveling in the wrong direction (left), specifically in the avenue/bridge connecting Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. Is this a known bug? Nevermind, it was an issue with SAxVCxLC Connected, I'll report it to them. Normal SAxVCxLC works fine. Edited March 4 by TheJanox824 Link to post Share on other sites

Slovan 8 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Are there any plans to connect all the islands by roads? I know that Gta SAxVCxLC Connected exists, but the islands are too close to each other, which looks very bad. This mod is the best. It is even better than GTA UG. Very good job @PlatinumSerb @artginPL and @chaosbginwenrealityend. santosvagos, RyanDri3957V and Róbert Bock 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chaosbginwenrealityend 147 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 @Kookachulu Search for and get Fastman92 free id checker 4.0 Install it then in-game type 'free' without quotes and this will print out all the free IDs in the game root directory in a .txt file. It is also perfectly o.k. to use IDs under 20000 unless it is something for this mod. On my custom version I used a lot of free IDs in the 6000, 7000, 12000 etc. range with no consequences. I have most of my 500 added peds in the 11000 range. Similarly, you can also use 30000 to 65535 but beware, MEd (mapeditor) crashes at ID 30000 so you won't be able to use that program with IDs higher than 29999. On my custom version I have the Bully map which I started at ID 30000 and goes to 37000 something so I have to comment that map out of gta.dat if I want to look at other maps in MEd. Don't forget to keep the free id list updated tho. Update and general info. Many of the bugs reported have been fixed and will be in the next update. I been working on VC interiors. I had already done some of these a long time ago but never touched the mall till lately which I finished the other day. Took two weeks to fix as best as I could this infamous *R mess (well I probably see things differently). Got all the escalators working in mall and airport. Mall has many ped attractors too. Hotel has 2dfx lighting like in original VC also fixed all the missing objects which also were incredibly missing in the original game too-they were always there, just linked to the wrong .ipl interior number. Pole Position and Malibu I had done a long time ago but fixing minor little details that I had been wanting to do so basically I will have at some point for you if wanted: 1- Mall interior - kept as teleport. Fixed all culling of reflections when approaching. Straightend crooked planters. Added ped attractors everywhere. Escalators now work. The top strip which runs the parameter of the mall which looks blue in color is textured as glass so I think the intent by *R was a skylight. It works much better now after a few minor modifications. Plays original VC background music via modified audio stream. 2- Malibu interior- made mine non-teleport with operating doors. Has dance mini-game and CJ can take girlfriends which I did a long time ago. I originally scripted dancers and extra ambience but currently testing object built-in 2dfx which uses external script 'dancer' in main.scm. Also made tables/chairs ped attractors so peds eat pizza. I still have a minor bug to work out because sometimes peds are slightly 'levitated' above the seats. Has all the bar ambience like you see in SA dance clubs and plays original VC background music via modified audio stream. 3- Hotel - Tommy's Ocean Beach safe house - made mine non-teleport with operating doors, 2dfx lighting, and ambience zone. You can either play your favorite SA radio station or I can provide a modified audio stream that plays the original VC track. I also utilized the mob room as part of this interior with a working door. 4- Pole Position - mine is non-teleport with working doors. Has several ped attractors that work from main.scm external scripts. I had originally scripted extra ambience but currently testing using main.scm externals via built-in object model 2dfx. Peds sit in the booths eating pizza. It also has all the bar ambience like you see in SA strip clubs including the private dance and plays the original VC background music via modified audio stream. 5- VC beach police station - has working doors, 2dfx lighting and eventually police ambience from external scripts. 6- Vercetti Estate- mine is non teleport with working doors. Has all the original 2dfx lighting. I had to rework the back exterior to accommodate the very little pertruding interior after I did this but not really noticeable but the reward is that now the office windows work correctly in that you can now see outside. Also fixed all the missing objects like trophies, pizza boxes etc. 7- airport - escalators now work. Airport radar antennas rotate. Airport runways and helipad all have 2dfx lighting like I did for LC but problem is my models prelight and the SAxVCxLC version don't match/ won't blend well so I have to figure something out. 8- All the pizza places have ped attractors. I detached all the pizza booths from the parlors and made one into a ped attractor so now all pizza places have peds eating pizza; however, on mine I modified main.scm externals FBOOTHL and FBOOTHR by reversing conditions of which interior CJ is in which determines which foods they eat. This did not effect any original SA interiors and everything works like I never did anything. Not modified they will eat hamburgers instead. I similarily edited/added to various external scripts so CJ can now buy food at these places. I just have to adjust the height of the counters so that sellers pizza trays are not buried in the counters. 9- El Banco Corrupto - mine is non-teleport (except to the vaults) with working doors and has 2dfx lighting like in original VC. Fixed bug when looking out the window 'something looks missing' (I don't know how else to describe it LOL) CyberRock, RyanDri3957V, artginPL and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
They luton 4 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 hello a month ago that I did not enter here, but hey I came to see if any of you saw in the internal files the vcpd wintergreen, which is in the image files called DEFAULT, the name of the dff and txd files is: 'x_polwin' . One question, ¿are you planning or planning to include that police vehicle in the mod?. PS: I had an idea to include this vehicle and another vehicle that I made (lcpd wayfarer) in the mod, but I don't know how to add cops and police cars to gta sa, if anyone knows, can you explain to me how can I add cops and police cars please, but by PM. https://imgur.com/a/glrCTbA Link to post Share on other sites
Hitchfred_Alcock 21 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) For me the game crashes when I try to use the Pay'N'Spray below Sunshine Autos in VC. There's also a bug where traffic goes through the sidewalls of the Liberty City tunnels in corners. 2 further suggestions: - The VC and LC assets shouldn't be unlocked at the start but be purchaseabIe. I mean come on, how does CJ just own the Vercetti Estate and such ? It would also add more purpose to visiting the islands in the first place. - While I like the idea to add to LC's Map (ghost town) it makes no sense for such a remote, mountainous area to have sidewalks on it's roads.

Hexer 3 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I've been using the mod, so far it is pretty fun!, having touch with the other cities makes me feel a bit nostalgic, some bugs of course, but the same ones that people mentioned earlier!

chaosbginwenrealityend 147 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 @Hitchfred_Alcock Some of this has been covered already. I suggest go back 15 or so pages and read through; specifically page 62 addresses grgx.asi and why certain or all extra garages crash. In addition, one has to realize the SA engine still has some limits never 'hacked' which effects certain things one would think is ok to simply add. We added 2 complete game maps to a map that was designed with limits for 1; so now we want to add save games, garages, pickups, car spawns, weapons, peds, cars and the list goes on from those added game maps. The number of objects, cars and peds that can be added is virtually unlimited, for example; but we still have character length limits to adhere to. We can add all the garages we want but we are still limited to 50 hard coded ones so any additional ones will either overwrite the originals (loading the last 50 over the first 50 loaded-bad) or not be recognized by the game or cause problems. Grgx.asi solved the garage dilemma till FM92LA 5.0 and higher changed something which now made it incompatible. So you purchase properties but now you want to be able to save this probably near or at the same location but now we are limited to the number of save pickups which I don't know if ever been resolved. Grgx had it's own save in My Documents folder for saving cars. My windows programming is basic but I know main.scm very well and can follow through the script as if I were playing through the game without knowing what memory address control them. I can tell you it is entirely possible to add to the save game arrays but would probably need moved to the end of the scm block to accommodate it which I know would not effect the functionality but there is still a limit on the number of them. If I had my druthers, I would convert all gta3 and VC missions and add them to main.scm with the option to switch between all 3 main characters and acquire the assets through game progress. The limitation on path editing has always been ever present especially for maps of this size. Sure we can move them around but there is currently no way to my knowledge to import, edit, then export for these larger maps. I edited a very old 3dsmax paths import script to be able to import/export all paths from this mod but I got distracted into doing something else so I haven't tested yet. Then would come research and testing because path documentation is scarce. The path bugs were carried over from the original gta3 game. Yes I would like to fix those too but editing limitations. There are more path bugs than what you mentioned. When I did the new or better yet enhanced LC port, I fixed so many Rockstar bugs there is probably not enough server space to list it all; and I know there still exists some left to be done and now working on VC which is 5 times as bad in R bugs. The SA map has path bugs and geometry errors too numerous to list too some of which I fixed too on mine. All gta games have bugs even on the infamous gta5 I found a collision bug. I know there is a lot of things people would like to see in this mod but there is a time limitation in that it takes time to do things.

Well, it was the thought of something other than what was initially there that counted. This was something I started after the initial release of this mod as a personal endever but proposed to include it as part of the new LC enhanced conversion I was working on and subsequently provided here because it made no sense for me to hoard it to myself. I thought about the sidewalks too but I was halfway through the build when I thought about it and really didn't feel like redoing it. Look at it as more of a decorative break down lane or shoulder.

lbgh 21 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I will do an elevated subway around the entire vice city with an approach to the airport, but my game crashes at one point - between nbeachbt2 and ocean drive (on the beach). I have a lot of script trains and lack of markers on the radar. Teleport does not work. I made script trains LS(Airport LS -VC(VC pass.main) and LV(Linden)-LC(Torrington). In addition, there is a metro in motion (built from standard objects) in all cities. Edited April 20 by lbgh hlennarz and RyanDri3957V 2 Link to post Share on other sites

artginPL 840 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 New version coming soon! It will be released at the beginning of May. As usual, @chaosbginwenrealityend made a lot of map corrections. Thanks a lot! Below are some screenshots with the improvements made by @chaosbginwenrealityend: Col fixes for improper procedural grass in areas that should not have it as pointed out in the forum: Spoiler Several .ide and .ipl fixes mainly for .ide flags for proper rendering: Spoiler Bedford Park corrupted/wrong texture fixed in LC: Spoiler Vercetti Estate and El Banco Corrupto converted to non-teleport with operating doors: Spoiler Enjoy the view out the office windows: Spoiler Added missing game 100% and/or races complete items: Spoiler Improved the fountain water effects more closer to what they should be: Spoiler And many other fixes by @chaosbginwenrealityend: Numerous bug fixes like: - Minor col issue on building stair in LC, - missing watertower LOD textures in VC by studios. Northpoint mall in VC: - fixed numerous original geometry issues - probably never noticed by most people, - fixed numerous original collision issues - probably never noticed by most people, - working escalators, - ped attractors, - fixed culling of reflections when approaching and other rendering bugs, - 2dfx lighting. Malibu - added 2dfx lighting. Pole Position - added 2dfx lighting, - some ped attractors. El Banco Corrupto - various improvements and 2dfx lighting. Vercetti Estate - added 2dfx lighting. Hotel - added 2dfx lighting, - added missing 100% game completion and/or races complete items, - fixed missing ceiling fans and props which ironically are missing in the original VC pc game.

Works on foot or use any motorcycle. And now a few things made by me: Added subway and train system in the LC: Spoiler Improved LC Police Helicopter, boat, and a few other vehicles. Now all vehicles are SA style: Spoiler Have fun! RyanDri3957V, Kabrontos, santosvagos and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites
Slovan 8 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It all looks beautiful. I've always missed such a modification. In the past when SAxVCxLC contained only maps of GTA III and VC modification was boring. Back then, I preferred to use GTA UG. But GTA UG has everything blocked, making it impossible to install most of the modification. And now we have everything we need. I really like the opportunity to also enable or disable various functions. Very good job. Do you plan to add a connection between the islands? Bridges or land.

Today I finished the VC garages as many of these needed SA compliant rotations for them to work correctly. Hopefully I'll get the LC ones done before the next release.
