SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

By any chance, what file did you guys use for the resolution fix? I'd like to put it in the normal SA so I can play it at full resolution.

Well, this works nicely for me.

Yeah that's what I use on my normal San Andreas, more options to.

You can also use MTASA to set your resolution.

Our Slot fits in very well with the new Steam Big Picture update

Why Faggio is the only one in bikes which isn't converted?

We can't.

[wacekmoro]

Why?

We can't.

they will need to write it from the beginning.

[wacekmoro]

This is too hard?

If you look at the first post in the Progress section, you'll notice a list of missions there, that's actually our target for Beta 3, those 16 missions make up what's known as Chapter/Phase 1 of the VCS story, it's also known as "Pre-Empire" which should be a bit of a hint as to how Empire Buildings go. We also want to pack in more side missions to, we already have the Taxi ones done, people expecting the entire game to be done for Beta 3 will sadly be in for a let down, we've chosen a point in the story that makes sense where to stop and also want to make sure there's enough side stuff for people to do to.

I just look forward to map conversion first, since it'd make difference between San Vice and VCS PCE Also it'd help greatly for my comic (just for fun) when talking about Vice City in-the-past

 

This is from Beta#1

STORY MISSIONS CHAPTER 1
Sgt. Jerry Martinez [X] Soldier [X] Cleaning House [X] Conduct Unbecoming   Phil Cassidy [X] Cholo Victory [ ] Boomshine Blowout [X] Truck Stop [x] Marked Men	Marty J. Williams [ ] Shakedown [ ] Fear the Repo [ ] Waking Up The Neighbors [ ] O Brothel, Where Art Thou? [ ] Got Protection?   Louise Cassidy-Williams [ ] When Funday Comes [ ] Taking Out The White Trash [ ] D.I.V.O.R.C.E [ ] To Victor, The Spoils

So, when all those missions are done converting.

Yep, that's when the Mission side will be considered "Complete", just waiting for Mapping and Interiors to be converted first so Silent can start on the mission that needs them.

I totally forgot about that empire thing... been a long time since I played the game...^^ I wonder if that would even be possible

We don't know, but for BETA 3 we're trying to do as many things we can. including Map, nearly all the Vehicles, more Peds than before, the first chapter of the story, a good chunk of side missions, etc, so you guys can at least play through the first part of VCS in a seemingly normal way.

Plus being testers and help if possible Good luck with it, the progress is quite fast!

 

One question comes to my mind: I guess for the Beta 3 there will not be a Beta 2 to 3? To my mind seems difficult, just to know if it will require a clean install?

[Ash_735]

It'll be a clean install, yes, easiest way to make sure everything works like it's suppose to. And as a word of warning, I think we are blocking off incompatible EXE's this time so you won't even be able to start the game unless you have the correct EXE, this is a response from the amount of people playing Beta 2 with the wrong EXE and then complaining to us about it.

[SkylineGTRFreak]

I think... This will be the first TC I will install on any GTA, yet... This just seems so beautiful and makes serious progress. And I loved VCS, good memories

 

Thanks to you guys doing a great job

You guys really should do that from Beta#2, lol

 

Maybe the warning pop-up should tell people to look for compatible EXE via Google too, that way this topic won't be flooded with "Where can I find compatible exe" question

[Mateos]

Before there were people complaining about incompatibilities issues, now they'll ask what means the message "Wrong EXE file detected", and where to get a correct one x) But should be better than it is

 

Thanks for details Ah, forgot about saves: will they be compatible with Beta 2 or the fact there's new missions could crash the game after loading, if the info "No mission left" is saved in saves (Dunno)?

Read that. It's us official decision.

As with any major scripting changes, I'm afraid it does render the old saves incompatible, one of the first things changed in Beta 3 was an overhaul of the op codes so right away the missions were rendered void with the old saves.

Also please remove the VCS PC Edition logo. Its annoying when I minimize the game, its in the middle of the screen and when I click it, it disappears, but so do radio stations. At least make it so the logo disappears when the game launches.

I'm afraid it's required, as already mentioned, Sa Andreas pretty much has a terrible Sound Engine that's just balls insane to customise, that Splash screen is actually the process for SAORS, which plays the correct Radio Station in the slots, without that, the game will just continue to ignore the radio stations.

Are you able to put it in a window?

Actually, it's possible to remove the logo and still have the process running in the background.

Since it's a process, wouldn't it be possible to give it a GUI window then we can click Minimize button?

I'm hoping to remove SAORS at all and return to launching the mod via gta_sa.exe (which I do all the time anyway).

When that's done you should supply the exe so it has the icon changed, and still named gta_vcs.exe. Just to keep it VCS and less SA. It would also reduce people ignoring the message that they get about the wrong exe then complaining about crashing.
