[REL|IV]Vice City RAGE 1.0


Recommended Posts

Well there aren't no AI peds either. This is not a Graphics problem.

I can only assume that you did not extract all the mod files(disk space error or something else).

I suggest extracting the files again and eventually re-downloading the whole archive, in case you think there might have been an internet error on your end(the archive is supposed to be 3.5GB in size)

Is there anyway I can play this mod without a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4? If so could you please tell me how? I downloaded the link you added on the main page, I know you need it to drop in GTA 4 but is there something I can do to fool it into thinking I'm playing it on a copy of GTA 4 1.0.7.0 ? Thank you.

Oh, looks like i'm the first person to get this working,

i'll throw my hat in the ring i guess..

 

First thing i noticed when installing this is my cross-hair is invisible,its not much of a big deal especially when i can just use auto aim but still..

I also noticed a few collision errors, particularly in sunshine autos

My main problem with this mod is a big one. Lexyz, you seem to have one foot in the door, basically saying "THIS IS VICE CITY IN IV, IT MUST LOOK CLASSIC"

but at the same time you're trying to make textures and palm trees high-quality which ends up with stuff looking like this,

2003 bush textures next to HD trees.

my point is either you go High quality or low, making it a mix of the two just kinda looks messy.

On the bright side though, the racing activity was fun, and i really did enjoy the mod. Also i REALLY despise this timecyc

it just looks weird and cartoony to me, what i did was used gostown paradise's timecyc which has a tropical vibe and looks realisticd

The palm trees just are of slightly better quality, there really is no big difference here.

Also, may I ask what's "weird" and "cartoony" about the timecyc?It is supposed to capture the feeling of Miami.Its also much, much more fitting than the one you provided above, but that's just my two cents.

I just dont like how oversaturated it looks i guess..its kinda like 80's Miami literally vomited all over the sky. seemed like a bit much too me

 

also i'm gonna have to disagree with you on the palms..

 

there's an obvious difference between VC's bushes and vegetation and the ones in the mod and it's really noticeable and as much as i love the newly textured roads compare them to for example, the building textures.

everything kinda seems out of balance imo.

Yeah I'd vouch for low res too. I do appreciate the effort put into the mod, but having all the high res stuff seems to me like a possible extra not a mandatory thing. This might be my unpopular opinion but just think that your main target audience is people who were big fans of VC and would like it to be entirely VC.

 

Other than textures you did amazing work!

I honestly did not expect anyone to complain about the textures at this point, considering that it was said over a year ago that the mod is going to have HQ textures.

 

Beta 4 had original textures, and as far as I remember, barely anyone was happy with that.I've only tried to take as many advantages of the RAGE engine as possible, and if you ask me, I think I achieved that without messing up with the atmosphere of VC.

 

I do appreciate the feedback, though.However, I see that some of you are looking too deep into the 'issues' of the mod.After all, you can not please everyone.

Saying that they enjoyed it because 'of the races', when there are far better features that were added, and then bash it for a subjective reason, instead of being objective.

 

How come no one complained about the weapon textures, then?

I said the races because really there was no other thing i can compliment without it being incredibly obvious or that i really noticed

 

The racing was the one activity that stuck out to me so thats the example i used, of course i love stuff like the missions, the mini-gun, and the tank

 

and also i'm not bashing you, i'm kinda giving constructive criticism, and even then half my first post was just pointing out a few collision errors and things that needed to be fixed, not all that subjective if you think about it.

The tank, minigun aren't "obvious", they weren't even in the original GTA IV.

Also, its not "constructive critism" if you point out something you didn't like that is completely subjective (HQ textures).

Stuff like the Chainsaw and Minigun are obvious because i already knew they were gonna be there and i already used both of those mods separately before so i didn't have too much fun with them, at least not like I did the first time i used them.

 

and also of course half of the stuff i'm saying is gonna be Subjective because understand this..

 

I was literally thinking of all this stuff basically at the same time of playing the game,

my whole post was literally problems that I PERSONALLY HAD with the mod

and also why i'm only 'pointing out small things' is because in general the mod is pretty good.

it's only very small things that i had a problem with. but i'm sorry if that offends you so much.

 

 

Edit: and also i never said i didn't like HQ textures I said i didn't like the balance of HQ textures compared to Low quality textures. It looks weird seeing a high quality tree for example, compared to a 2002 textured building. You got the wrong idea completely.

Edited by Sprunkadelic

There isn't a single building from 2002.A texture here and there like the 2 ones you mentioned above, maybe, but not entire buildings.

Its also supposed to be a work in progress, n case you didn't notice.

 

A good 50% of the buildings are still using vanilla textures WHICH ARE FROM 2002, and those 2 I used weren't specific picks i found, i went to random destinations and automatically found them

 

it's a little more than "a texture here and there" let me show you

I could go on but I think you get my point.

 

 

Anyways, This argument is kinda pointless, i just wanna drop it and be done with this

Edited by Sprunkadelic

 

So this mod is still alive ?

Well, considering it has just had a release a few days ago...

 

That's nice to Vice City on RAGE (GTAIV)! Thank you!

What are the current plans for the project?
