hamx23 200 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Are you bored of 2001 GTA 3 atmosphere and you want it to be refreshed? Or maybe you just want a remaster as befits a 2020 year? Your dreams have just came true. And here it comes, another project from HamX & Sasuu. We have learned a lot making mods to GTA 3D universe, so now we were able to start creating something different, something better and something much more interesting. This time, we are recreating GTA IV atmosphere in good old GTA 3, pushing the renderware engine to its limits by replacing almost everything in the game. Map comes from GTA 3 XBOX (it's much more detailed than PC one) and it has bigger quality textures and we also have plans to fit as many GTA IV buildings into it as possible. About the cars, we are converting them from GTA 4. Weapons came from GTA 4. To make graphics closer to GTA 4, we used SkyGFX and ReShade. And we couldn't forget about hud similar to GTA 4 which was made by ThirteenAG. Hope you enjoy this, we are putting a lot of work into this and hope for good reception. Spoiler HamX - idea of the project, supervision Sasuu - help with almost everything bibidibabidibu - map editing, textures, peds xSapphirePlayz (aka Tommy Sexcetti) - Sound and main.scm scripting HectorOConner -

Sneed 12,842 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 You should certainly ask mod author for permission. And SilentPatch aint even open source. And classic axis is made by AG not ThirteenAG. Link to post Share on other sites
Davve95 330 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks really cool and nice idea. You should put the mods created by others by a recommended spoiler or something. Since you need permission to include it into your download Link to post Share on other sites

Also add Police car and Enforcer from GTA IV I am planning to add some buildings from GTA IV. And about Police car and Enforcer: Police car is already complete but it's from GTA 5 (Vapid Stainer not the original one) because I had some livery problems with GTA 4 one, and also i'm planning to add Enforcer from GTA 4.

Jinx. 8,002 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The graphics look like something out of a 2010 mod. It's a far cry from IV's colors. Please remove ENB and just stick with skygfx and edit the timecyc, because this looks bad. You could get even better results with something like the mobile color filter, edited timecyc values and the neo reflections. Actually, a lot of stuff feels used for the sake of being used. What's the point of V roads? It does not contribute to the "darker atmosphere" at all, when the colors still look vibrant as hell. There is also zero reasons to use V weapons, when you could use IV ones, or Max Payne 3 ones if you want them to be in better quality. About the textures, please avoid the mobile LCS ones, or just use whatever looks good, because those ones look pretty bad, too. It'd be a better idea to use stuff from IV, since "IV Render Edition". 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks you for your opinion and advices. We used ENB series to improve colors because SkyGFX wasn't enough. I will be trying to configure it better and remove ENB. And I'm also planning to change timecyc. About the weapons, this is a part of our old project and we decided to use it temporarly. And the textures - I'm planning to port GTA 4 ones but it will be a lot of work with it, so temporarly they are from LCS (better quality). I really like the roads but I will consider changing them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

hamx23 200 Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I have some good news. User bibidibabidibu proposed me to crossover my conversion with his "GTA III HD Universe Replacement" which was never finished and I suppose it never will be. For now, we mixed his HD GTA 4 textures GTA III XBOX map and it looks amazing. That made our work a lot easier. We still need to improve timecycle to make the graphics even more beautiful.
