I bet that's what they will show.

 

That should mean that map progress should go much faster now. But I wonder if they will convert the parts that they modeled.

[Kalvin]

Lol, i guess you two haven't used that before. Want to know why they re-model the map and don't convert?

Because with MDL Importer, it dosen't read map models, they don't show. Isn't possible, (Well it is, but the GTAStories team have their own secret tool. Which they won't release or give to anyone), and secondly, they do it. Because even though it looks the same, the map is way better.

I have that 'secret tool' to open compressed LVZ/IMG and extract files + Import into 3ds max with MDL importer.

 

It is by XEPOMAHT, Stories WRLD Tool

?

It's old. After extracting, You will never know what to do with this stuff.

[Junior.]

Yes it's that one. I know that XEPOMAHT uses a very updated version, but I was able to restore some models of LCS and VCS with this old version.

Let me get this straight, it's useless because people would also need the special 3dsmax importer, right? Or does it export a format that's already readable?

For this maxscript are imported all models from PS2-version LCS, VCS and Manhunt2. GTA Stories WRLD tool are unpack any IMG/WRLD to MDL and CHK + shows all the textures in WRLD and non-extracted CHK (LCS PS2 only).

Finally finished it. Yay.

Big secret

No longer

 

Ped colours

 

[Frank.s]

Hah wow. Of all the things i thought wouldn't be possible to re-create in SA, this was in the top 3.

Excellent job there.

[Silent]

The rest 2 are multiplayer and fighting system?

 

I find them very hard too, but until few days I thought that these ped colors are IMPOSSIBLE to do too.

 

I think I deserve a cookie.

Holy sh*t, this is amazing!

 

So how does it work? How does it know where to change colors in ped models?

[Ash_735]

On a smaller note, another thing Silent has finished is the menu sliders!

A MDL IMPORTER??!?!?!?

 

FOR 3DS MAX?!?!??!

 

 

Holy Cow! where did you get it!!

 

I have searched and searched and got nothing...

 

 

 

PED COLORS!??!

 

Holy Moly!!

 

How did you do that? It was a dream I had to make that but never could (I was supposed to do a Mario Star thing)

There are two gta mdl lmporters. One is made by ak 73 but has less features than this one made by xepomaht (i think).

The rest 2 are multiplayer and fighting system?

lol yup, although i think i'd replace "multiplayer" with "every vcs sound" but that's unlikely due to the GENRL bug.

I find them very hard too, but until few days I thought that these ped colors are IMPOSSIBLE to do too.

Great achivment man. You gonna give any info about how it's done? Personally i don't care if you didn't release documentation about how you did it, just interested in a "dumbed down" version of what you've done to achive it?

GTA SA died. It's real VCS now

Agreed. Although i do still think the fighting mechanics would be a great, like Silent said. Edited April 1, 2012 by Frank.s

[tommzy2]

vic still sounds like cj when he fights, will that be changed anytime soon?

[-Quantum-]

God....it's not San Andreas anymore, it's real Vice City Stories only with SA fight system mod and CJ voice mod

[Ash_735]

Not in the next build sadly, whilst I DO have all of Vic's sound extracted, the problem isn't with them, it's with San Andreas! Because San Andreas doesn't seem to give an indicator to response triggers what by CJ's emotions, I'm blind attempting the files, and there's a good few hundred files fr me to go around and basically play the long and boring matching game, if San Andreas arranged the files like it was in every other GTA game, we'd probably have it done already, but no, once again San Andreas sound engine has to be awkward.

[Kalvin]

Can't Silent atleast use his magic wand to wonder up some scripts and align the sounds to cj?

Silent's done enough But I can say he has plans for something Audio related which won't appear in this BETA, which will give me more things to play with.

The result is pretty simple - it utilizes exactly the same technicue which is used for vehicle colours. It wasn't that easy to do like it sounds now, though

[Frank.s]

Nice. i didn't expect the "material can be colored like a carcol" kinda setting would be possible to work in a ped dff, good work on proving that wrong.

 

Gotta question, judging by the speed you guys script a mission and animate the CS for it: how long could you estimate it would take to get every mission done? If that will even happen? Also i suppose all the time it takes to add all the other features would have an effect on it too.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this mod is absolutely gorgeous, IMO it's exactly how R* would have done if they ported VCS to PC. The attention to little details you guys have is hard to find in another mod, and I simply love it!
