LawAndDisorderNYC 0 Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) So this is a concept I've had in my head for several weeks now. I want to start a TC of the entire True Crime: NYC map to GTAIV (allowed under the conversion rules because TC:NYC is a 2005 game), edit everything to make it as close to the real world as possible and then build an entirely new game (storyline, voice acting, etc) around that base. Is this feasible? Team (for now): LawAndDisorderNYC - Texture artist, scriptwriter, TV & Radio Wanted: 3D Modellers Texture Artists Writers Voice Artists People who can figure out a way to rip the entire map from TC:NYC People who can put said map into GTAIV List of vehicles (still an idea, haven't gotten permission to use any yet): Ambulance - Ford F350 FDNY Ambulance 2013 http://www.gta4-mods.com/vehicles/2013-ford-f350---fdny-ambulance-f26402 Taxi - Ford Crown Victoria NYC Taxi 2013 http://www.gta4-mods.com/textures/ford-crown-victoria-nyc-taxi-2013-f23465 Taxi2 - Toyota Prius NYC Taxi 2011 http://www.gta4-mods.com/textures/toyota-prius-2011-taxi--nyc--paintjob-v2-f22028 Police - Ford Crown Victoria NYPD 2012 http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/4579-2012-ford-crown-victoria-nypd/ Required mods (ditto above): ELS Anyone who has a copy of True Crime: New York City and/or would like to see a GPS-accurate rendition of Manhattan updated for modern PCs please chip in! Characters: === The 2-5 === Detective Maxine Schellenberg (main character) Born and raised in Manhattan, Maxine toughed a rough childhood and an alcoholic mother. She graduated at the top of her class from the Academy. She started out in the force as a beat cop, then finally ascended to the status of detective. She is a generally honest cop, but would not hesitate to use excessive force or dirty tricks to close a case. Speaks English, Spanish and Esperanto (a personal interest of hers). After solving 5 cases, the real story begins in which Maxine is framed for murder and forced to change her identity and hide in the city. Detective Art Novak Maxine's partner. A granola guy, born into a hippie camp in New Mexico who seems to be forever stuck in Woodstock's shadow, Art uses his harmless-looking exterior to disarm and obtain information from otherwise savvy people; He is also very well-read and has an eidetic memory (something that would put Robert Goren to shame). However, he is also legitimately a hippie. Doesn't like to use his gun except when necessary. Lieutenant Kimberly Tsang A female Lennie Briscoe/John Munch updated for the 21st century, wisecracking Kimberly's family escaped the horrors of the Cultural Revolution to British Hong Kong, and then onwards to America. Kimberly grew up feeling persecuted by mainstream white culture and developed a thick shell to shield herself from the third degree she experiences everyday. She is trilingual in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and often uses her language skills to solve cases with a Chinese connection. === Misc.
