Beta 3.4 discussion


Recommended Posts

Only problematic build was beta2 v5 which corrupt save after passing A drop in the Ocean.

If I'm not wrong that build had some issues with Sayonara Salvatore as well.

I'm so confident in the currently stability of the mod that I took the time to drop off all 100 passengers without assistance.

 

 

Poll: Do you want the version number to be 3.4 or 4.0? I'm leaning towards 4.0 now that the SCM and ped audio are very near completion, which are massive achievements over past versions.

 

I'm unsure if we should include a license since most of the game assets are made by R*. Should we have one? Do we allow redistribution/commercial use?

Ah that lovely III timer calculation giving you tons of time... VC altered that quite a bit though that caused a regression where time for a ride is calculated incorrectly :/

I think you should rename to the 4.0 builds from now on. Once you're ready to release the next build, please make a topic with all the upcoming changes/updates. :^:

 

Would be interesting to see how closer the next build is, to the final release.

maybe call it 4.0 when you get working head animations in cutscenes?

That's when we call it final.

 

Call the next build 4.0 maybe? You guys have been stuck on 3.x for years now.

I agree on this. You've done some amazing work space, and I think a new number reflects that.

I guess, it will be truly final only when CLEO, ASI mods and hooks, and MVL will be fully compatible. And of course when CS Heads will be fixed.

Through, There's are a SilentPatch inside the LC Directory.That isn't what he said, though?

changing the resolution crashes the game.

 

EDIT: kinda fixed it by using the default gta_vc.set .. oh and holy sh*t, the claude player model is finally fixed!

Beta 4.0 pre-release 4 is ready! I bumped up the version number to 4.0 and finalized the ReadMe. GInputVC.asi seems to be causing the crashes when changing the resolution so I removed it. If everyone's fine with this release, I'll make it final with no further changes. The Beta 3.3 release topic will be unpinned and Beta 4.0 release topic will be created. I want to start my next tasks to get the Xbox map working, redo all textures, and integrate mss32.dll into dinput8.dll.

:O got any more info on that? Maybe a conflicting hook? Menu textures and fonts (so GInput buttons too) are unloaded and loaded again when you change resolution, maybe that's where the problem is.

I'm not familiar with how GInput works. I removed the ASI file and the game didn't crash when changing resolution anymore. Could it be because its textures aren't included in the mod?

Something must be conflicting really bad then... GInput should not work without button textures at all.

I'm curious as to why the textures in this build have been downgraded quite a bit compared to 3.3 and previous builds, it seems to be using PS2 sized textures now for some things, and theres still leftovers from things done with TXDWorkshop (mainly other language fonts).

Blame me, I've been using PS2 frontend textures as the base. I'm kinda PS2-purist, but if you want, I'll redo with PC ones. Actually the only real difference I remember is the title image and the font texture which I don't get the point of having in 1024, while the Pricedown one is still in 512, seems more consistent to me.

Isn't it kind of odd though since this wasn't billed as GTA3 PS2, but a conversion of GTA3 PC to VC PC? If anything shouldn't we be embracing updated things here such as the Xbox content or GUI influence from Mobile? Just stands out that this was originally meant to be GTA3 in a better engine* but why have a trade off of using lower quality textures just because PS2 purists?

Should I revert Claude_Lib's changes? Remember that nothing is set in stone. It's still a beta and things can still be updated. Currently Beta 3.3 is nearly five years old. I want a new base to be released and that base is stuck in limbo for nearly four months.

I vote for PS2. If the two Leftovers Fixes threads are any indication, the PC ports are missing things so why not use PS2 items. Modloader works fine so if you want higher res/Xbox stuff, toss it in there (I certainly do).

I'd keep only the higher quality textures, but with fixed content that the PS2 offers. Anything LQer than the PC version shouldn't be included at all. Like Ash said, this was billed to be a III PC to VC PC engine, so this should keep true to that, atleast for this version, but fixes from the other versions wouldn't be a bad idea :)

But XBOX GTA 3 is better than PS2. PS2 lacks some textures here and there too. Less than PC but still some. While xbox has everything textured. Same goes with GTA VC (the soap dispenser in the apartment 3C)

Well, again, the only diference I can remember is the title screen and the other-than-Pricedown font texture. Here you can have them:

Anyway, let me know if there are any more textures I forgot.

Yeah i also vote for PC textures and models.. but it would be even better if someone's going to convert the XBOX assets to PC. GTA III PC already has all the XBOX stuff including the map, models, characters and graphics.
