Mod brought to you by HackMan128 a.k.a. KNN

 

Please do not mistake my mod with others mods, I just grabbed some ideas from their trailers, not the content.

Both mine mod and others mod includes props from GTA San Andreas so it may make it similar.

Warning:

To easy install, you might need fastman92's img console, which link is in the readme. everything is automatic.

 

Link to download in the video.

Also, there is a hidden bonus interior around Peep shop Find yourself.

Probably the most solid mod I've seen in years. Amazing!

[universetwisters 31,025]

Holy crap where has this been? despite most of the stuff looking like it’s been yanked out of San Andreas, it still looks excellent. Can’t wait to install this and give it a go!

 

I also like how detailed and “lived in” the shoreside vale apartment looks. I can’t wait to explore it further, as well as see how nice the Staunton island safehouse is! 

[Ryadica926 5,418]

Oh, lovely stuff you have there HackMan. good job! 

[Mr. Jago 2,488]

Wow those interiors are beautiful, I love your use of light and the way you've "3D-ified" some of the III textures. Gonna try this in a bit, that elevator looks fun. 😃

welcome back, Hackman...

 

We missed you dearly ❤️

[tommyhmilj 14]

Looks good, any plans to add more props and vegetation?

[Jimmy 2,888]

This made my day. Glad to see people still coming up with mods for LC. Keep up the good work Hackman. Interesting choice of interiors especially the lighthouse. I have a similar project for III to add extra savepoints without interiors. Pickup save time though. I used the gta3 vehicle pickup icon from I/E instead.

This looks great! Hopefully in future volumes you can make some interiors from some of the story buildings (such as Luigi's club and Kenji's Casino)

The Misty's apartment, according to https://www.grandtheftwiki.com/Hepburn_Heights is in Hepburn Heights.

UT, as always nice irony. I would be ashamed to take most of R* stuff and call it mine.

I f'ing love this and want everyone of those interiors in the official mod. 

[Ash_735 14,671]

Since you've restored the save icon because safe houses have interiors, perhaps you could make something a little more era appropriate for GTA3?

 

 

Would follow the trend of the rest of the 3D era GTA's which use re-writable media as the icons instead of using a recoloured VC one.

For those, who have problems with Install.bat on Windows 10 (even after running it as admin), because apparently fastman92ImgConsole32 can't recognise some commands from the install.txt file in the "models" folder, here's my solution:

1.) Download IMG FACTORY 1.2

2.) Open gta3.img through it

3.) Import the contents of the COL, DFF, TXD folders (do not import the folders themself, but the contents inside of them)

4.) When the tool asks, click on the REPLACE button
5.) Once you added everything, click on Rebuild
6.) Once the process is done, there will be a log about one file, which origin is unclear for the tool. Just click on close and ignore it.
7.) Quit the tool and launch the game

8.) Profit... I think

And thanks the mod OP ^^

Just wondering, will doing this fix an issue I have with this mod?

 

All the interior locations for me included in this mod have all the collision but no models or textures.

[HackMan128 1,696]

What about trying 64 bit version of fastman's tool?

[Matt1010 131]

Excellent work! Makes the game a bit more alive, in my opinion.
Though here's an issue, the game soft-locks in the mission Cipriani's Chauffeur when Toni approaches the door of the laundry shop.
What happens? The doors won't open, thus Toni cannot enter in any way.
