Liberty City 98

[The Hero]

I've been working on a mod the last couple of days. The idea is to bring the (ps2) LCS atmosphere to III WITHOUT being an LCS port. This means:

 

- LCS timecycle

- LCS textures

- LCS building pipeline

- LCS-like car pipeline (it's not 100% exact but close enough)

- LCS postfx

- just for the heck of it blue police car and enforcer cause I like them

 

All textures in LCS had their gamma changed to 1.5, so this mod will replace all map textures with gamma-edited ones. Additionally I am using LCS road textures. But these are the only map changes I've done. Most notably I have not used vegetation from LCS, but plan to do so in a later version.

 

Get it here: http://mods.rockstarvision.com/lc98.7z

You *NEED* skygfx 2.8 or later.

 

Source for the plugin can be found here: https://github.com/GTAmodding/lc98

Amazing mod! However, I personally think it alters original game too much and should be considered cheat, especially since it disallows me from collecting a WTFP sh*tty Beige Cheetah from the intro cutscene!!!

 

Stick to making ASI DLL mods

.. holy sh*t, i'm speechless.. again. Awesome work, as always! It's funny how GTA III now feels like a GTA SA sequel with this mod, i know.. it is storywise, but what i mean is that LCS uses assets from SA, like car dirt, adverts etc.. which i really like. I wouldn't mind to see more textures from LCS in GTA III.

 

I'd love to create a second cinematic Liberty City video like i did with the XBOX HD mod, as soon it's released:

Looks like R* isn't the only one that uses .ASI extension. I found .ASI file in Neighbours From Hell. So maybe the plugins were meant to be with .ASI after all and not DLL.

Nice work aap, didn't expect something like this and less from you. I never had think of LCS stuff in GTA3 than some buildings or vehicles, but this is a totally revamp to the good old GTA3.

That's the legendary mss32 (Miles Sound System) loader that's included in GTA3 and Vice City as well, nice discover.

This mod is probably what LC would have looked like in 2000 if you think about it.

LCBC pls. (Before Christ)

LCS certainly does kinda feel like a gta3 beta.

I can't help but post this. VC84 is coming out better than I expected:

Please stay on topic, this is a topic about Liberty City 98, not "VC84".

 

Future offtopic will be removed.

Please remove your own post.

I like this! I can really appreciate LCS' atmosphere without all the sh*tty compressed textures and sh*t from LCS and now I can see all the beauty in everything. If I ever reinstall III I'll definitely give this a try.

[The Hero]

It's released. Make sure to get the latest skygfx (2.8) and optionally sharptrails (cause I did implement the original blur).

I hope the installation isn't too complicated. Having to depend on skygfx and having that depend on other stuff doesn't make it easier of course, but it's the only way it can work

 

EDIT: just found a bug in lc98.dll...typical. Fixed now.

Das sieht geil aus!

[Gravarty]

 

Funny how GTA 3 doesn't look that depressing by just replacing the tree textures.

EDIT: Now with real LCS props! trees: DL

 

EDIT:

idk why, but i really love the LCS vibe in GTA 3 and started to convert some LCS stuff, it fits really nicely. I wont release it though, since i'm using assets from the LCS PC port.

This is what I've been trying to do with my LCS PC mod for III for a while. You seem to have done it really perfectly.

[Reizov]

This is just.. so awesome Can't say nothing more. I always wanted something like, and finally it is done, dream came true Very well done I gotta say . But also, can you later replace the water texture from LCS to GTA 3 please? (If it's possible of course.) Cause, in the 98 of LC, the water better looking and cleaner than 2001. Also, keep up the good work .
