CRAZYGTASAINT 233 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It's been almost 20 years since the release of the original Grand Theft Auto and to satisfy people's lust until a true 3D conversion is made, I have made a texture pack for GTA3. This is a texture pack that replaces many textures in GTA3 with their original Grand Theft Auto counterparts. This includes but is not limited to: roads, pavements, grass, dirt, the HUD and Radar. Originally the idea started out as a total conversion mod that brought certain features over from the original Grand Theft Auto in GTA3. I definitely wanted missions and textures moved over but I wasn't experienced enough to recreate cars or create a map. I also didn’t want to use the original HUD. This made it difficult to draw a line between GTA1 features and GTA3 features. By this point I had already textured most of the map as well as the menus and some of the HUD. However, I thought it was a lost cause so I stopped development. About a year later, a user had converted the top-down era maps to a 3DSMax format. They then started development on a GTA Renderware Edition. As I used to have a related mod in development I thought I'd help out by giving them work to see if they wanted to take anything they may want. Once I looked at my mod again, I realised that most of what I created was essentially a texture pack. So I finished it off and released it as "Grand Theft Auto 3: A Classic Texture Pack". This is supposed to be a nice shot of nostalgia and to fill in the gap until GTA Renderware edition is finished. TRIVIA: The mod went through various titles, starting with Grand Theft Auto 3 Legacy Edition then Gouranga Edition, Classic Edition, Mission Pack 1: Classic Criminal and finally A Classic Texture Pack… The Rockstar Billboards are replaced with DMA Billboards, there are also billboards advertising the Mod itself. The Molotov, bat and grenade icons are actually pictures of the in-game models with a filter over the top to give a more “low-quality” look similar to GTA1. The Uzi and Shotgun icons are from Resident Evil 2, I used these they are of similar style and quality to GTA1. The wanted stars are taken from the original GTA logo. Originally I used the police heads from GTA1 as wanted stars but they looked too weird. I was also originally planning to retexture buildings too but this proved to be very time consuming. The police station and hospital in Portland have GTA1 style signs outside. Imgur Album: https://imgur.com/a/EUyoT Version 1.0: Roads - Replaced with converted textures from the original Grand Theft Auto. (Top-Down View is recommended for full nostalgia) Grass - Converted from GTA1.

Weapon Icons - Original icons converted from GTA1 with some others made in the same style. Radar - Based off the map that came with the original game, incl. map icons HUD - Powerhouse font with R* stars. Time-Cycle - Permanently sunny with a bright blue sky. Fonts - Pricedown has been replaced with Powerhouse (the titular GTA1 font) and Clarendon has taken place of Geneva.

Ss4gogeta0 1,877 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 we have the finished VC map that needs to be converted if you wanted to do it yourself to release a standalone GTA 1 VC map for Vice City maybe you could replace the GTA III LC map with the GTA 1 map Link to post Share on other sites

However, I will be learning to code missions in the future. Also without the GTA1 cars, it would look a little odd. epicluca, Ss4gogeta0 and Ivan1997GTA 3 Link to post Share on other sites
