III WIP Cartooned Gta (BETA)

[Sonicguy41]

GTA:Cartooned is a modification for Grand Theft Auto 3 which replaces the games textures with brighter hand drawn textures hence the name "GTA Cartooned"

 

Lately i've been getting pretty far in the mod..originally it was just a random minor mod for Claude which changes his skin..as the mod got bigger and bigger my skill has been getting better and better..and it's taking a lot quicker to make these skins..All of these pictures are Outdated All of them look much better now (Especially the Triad) i will replace the photo's tomorrow.

Progress:

 

Player (Claude) is finished but wearing different clothing than in the vanilla (Gray t-shirt and blue jeans)

 

PlayerP (Claude's Prison Uniform) is finished as well it came out pretty well

 

PlayerX (Claude INTRO/Pre-Release) is finished as well just know his face looks very different (Face is more square shaped,shading is glitched,and his eyes nose and mouth are placed in different areas to better fit the model)

 

8 Ball is finished (Both his prison clothes and his normal outfit he is one of the more impressive skins)

 

Catalina Is finished (not really much else to say besides her eyes look creepy as f*ck)

 

Luigi Goterelli is finished (Just to get things straight he's a night club owner not a pimp..luigi's skin looks pretty impressive..)

 

Old Prison Guy from the intro is finished (His names OJP.dff in the games files..he has so many wrinkles it almost looks uncomfortable)

 

Most of the peds in Portland are finished

 

Peds: 35 %

 

Main Characters: 8 %

 

Vehicles: 3 %

 

Weapons:75 %

 

 

Team:Me (Texture Editing)

TheN00STER (Car Editing.We realized how similar our mods were and he said he stopped working on his mod and had free time)

 

The mod is not nearly ready for a download my estimate is it'll be finished by around May-June 2016

 

Most of the early posts are outdated too i suggest skipping to page 2

How can "FIB" fix the continuity while 3D Era is not canon to HD Era? FBI was in EVERY 3D Era GTA. FIB, in the meanwhile, appeared only in IV/EFLC and V. The only time we seen FIB mentioned in 3D Era is in LCS Mobile, where only a ped has its logo on the back (because, according to Ash, the textures are from HD Era) while the rest of FBI Related things are kept like before.

What about GTA III: 10th Anniversary Edition?

[Sonicguy41]

I was also planning to remake the buildings but it kinda doesn't seem to work out I've tried it before.

 

i could most likely do the ads and billboards though.

 

Another fun fact:The reason claude and the Police officer look nearly perfect is because i started using Blender to look at all the texture mistakes it really helped

Looks pretty nice, despite the "FIB" change, so far, it looks like GTA III was gonna be like a show on [adult_swim]. Plus, it kinda reminds me of Archer.

I'm not gonna mess with any main characters or anything mainly just peds.

 

I've deleted and reinstalled the game so many times due to messing with the games files too much.

How about cutscene models? Wiithout them, this mod is pointless.

I'll see what i can do...i think the gta3.dir file is where the cutscene models are

[dkluin]

Ofcourse they are in gta3.dir

you do know better, right? gta3.dir is a file where file names are stored on version 1 img files (used by III, VC, VCS, LCS)

Due to high demand i changed the FBI agents tag back to "FBI" instead of "FIB"

 

as a result i added "LC" to the tag as well...seemed a bit empty

 

[_F_]

[Sonicguy41]

To be honest i had so much fun making the FBI agent (which is my favorite skin) i wanted to add a little more things to it.

I think you guys are making too much irrelevant rumble with the whole FBI/FIB thing. I too think it'd be better with FBI, as that's what it was in the original game, but it's not such a big deal after all. A bit of artistic freedom? EDIT: He changed it back to FBI, yay!

Also, it's a little harsh to say the mod wouldn't make sense if cutscene models aren't edited as well. While it would decrease immersion, it'd still be far from pointless. I'd sure as hell play it, even without the 'cartooned' cutscene models.

 

I like it so far, it's unlike those cartoon mods with poorly done solid textures. Imagine all peds, cars and the whole city cartoony, like Urban Brawl game! Wouldn't that be cool?

That'll hardly happen, but nonetheless, you're definitely on good path.

Even for GTAIII I'd highly reccommend this:

 

If you change the peds to be cartoonish, prepare to change everything It's the whole style R* put around the game. The vehicles, the weapons, the buildings, the map, the peds, all somehow fit together and form a game, right?

 

So only changing the peds wouldnt fit, if you want a good quality mod then changing alot of other stuff would be neccessairy. If it only changes the peds, not even cutscene stuff, then why would it be called "cartooned gta"?

[turbocharger]

I think there's been alittle bit of misunderstanding, as I did mention other stuff, not just peds, as it follows:

Imagine all peds, cars and the whole city cartoony, ...

Also, that's why I said "it'll hardly be done", because there's a lot of work to do, basically, the whole game, just as you mentioned. Now that'd be playable even without cartooned cutscenes, because you can't see cutscene models while free roaming.

Unless it's like in the style of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, where they put animated characters in recycled backgrounds from other shows.

Surprisingly it took me 2 days to make 12 peds....But it took me 4 months to make Cartooned Claude...as easy as it seems it's hard to draw it it's pretty much like drawing on an 8 bit canvas if you think about it.

 

It's nearly impossible to get the ears perfect and claude went through so many designs i've lost count

[Sonicguy41]

A few more peds are finally here...also for those who want me to make cut-scene skins....trust me there gonna be in the game very very soon...

 

 

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

And now my personal favorite.it's so similar to the real skin and looks the best

 

 

[turbocharger]

That hooker looks all kinds of twisted up. And that grandma's nipples are hard. All of those certainly need more work, hope you fix that, quality over quantity.

[Sonicguy41]

Those arent her nipples by the way..those are cringles in her shirt to make it look more realistic i do that for all the models

 

 

and recently i fixed the hooker she looked terrible...

[Sonicguy41]

Now claude's Prison outfit is finished so you can be cartooned as soon as you start the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is temporary but i also made a logo for it

No offense, but calling this "cartooned" is an insult to cartoons, and GTA modding as well.

 

As I said previously, is always good that more people are interested in making mods. But personally I believe that the whole purpose of modding is improving a game, make it better. Considering this, I don't see how this mod improves the game. Replacing the default textures with MS Paint made images isn't nowhere near improving the game, quite contrary actually. When it comes to textures, most people want quality, something that actually requires effort and skill to make, and not something that takes a few minutes in MS Paint.

Actually to mod is to improve the game to how you want it to be.it's not improving the game it's editing to suit my standards.in fact i made this just to see if i could do it..and it takes way more than 10 minutes as simple as it seems i have to continuously make edits Claude took months to make...and how exactly is it an insult to GTA modding....it's not like the idea to mod is to change a game to fit your personal settings or anything..........

 

 

and besides this is only a minor mod originally i was just testing things out and decided to release a few things......

Edited March 12, 2016 by Sonicguy41

[Sonicguy41]

I'm done with the mod i'm not working on it anymore...i stopped working on it for 2 reasons my other computer has a virus on it and i can't get any of the files back now also i started getting depressed after what Nico said...so what's the point in finishing the mod..

 

At 1st i was going to finish the mod then i started getting passive-aggressive replies and people asking me to do things that would take years to make then after what Nico said i was legitimately upset.I stopped working on the mod.I tried to download 3ds max to make a bigger and better mod...it sent me a download and the download had a virus on it...

 

Not only are all my files gone but even before then i stopped working on the mod...

[turbocharger]

Man, don't take it to heart, people can get edgy over anything. At the end of the day, maybe it's better this way, perhaps it's not worth your time.

Cheer up, you can always start working on another mod. For now, take a break, and get that virus eliminated.

It's kinda pressuring when about 20 people at once are asking for certain things that either i simply don't have time for or have literally no idea how to do...not to mention people getting upset when i change a few words on one of my skins.

The mod is back on turns out it was just an internet virus my files arent in any way affected.Becuase of this i can't show any more photos because when i go to the forums it redirects me to random ads.

 

i made catalina.i started updating Catalina surprisingly it works perfectly on the cutscenes also i made intro Claude's skin (which is also claudes BETA) i had to move a few facial features and remove all the shadows on it to make it fit.so now Catalina and Claude are cartooned in the intro

 

i also know how to replace models with other models now.for example i changed Claude's regular model to his prison model...

 

the mod is back on and i'm planning to work on all of the main characters now..

This is temporary but i also made a logo for it

You do know what's wrong there, right? Either you are using a png file with a black background or you don't know what's the difference.

I do know that as a said that was temporary and that's a game file it's just all transparent textures lose transparency whenever i add anything to them.
