SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[HackMan128]

JUST SHUT UP AND WAIT! Gosh, can't stand all those noobs that aren't patient enough.

I know

deep....

in your heart....

You aren't patient too and crazily wanting BETA 3 to come out now.

That's why he is so crazy and shouts .

That's great feeling, when we can test and play VCS PC whenever we want

[Agem]

Please, stop slapping that in our face

I tested it so many times, that it just bored me a bit .

[Masny]

Hi!

I just come to say "thank you" one more time. The work you're doing - is fantastic. Keep up!

 

[futureAllrounder]

Detail Maps or textures ,whatever just FTW! Yeah, the original quality is crap and if my friends would see me playing this, they would think, that I play games from 1990, so do whatever you can to enhance the original look and features. And of course I love the progress speed too.

This really happens. I've played so many of the III/LC missions so many times that they bore me as well sometimes. Which is why I use my flying/time traveling DeLorean for most of them.

[nkjellman]

Well, I'm considering joining the project and converting more of the map for Beta 3, if the team is alright with that.

 

If this happens, I don't expect my progress to be as fast as Luten, CP, and Hack Man at first, because I would need to get used to their tools.

Besides, let's say we DO go with your option, what would me and Silent do? We're not working on the map (well I'm bug testing the map) but, speaking for myself, I don't really have any modeling skills, I've worked on the outskirt stuff, timecyc, textures, menu stuff, etc, we'd have nothing to do really if it was just focused on map and map alone.

I remember you are in charge of Audio conversion whereas Silent is in charge of programming. You two could use the extra time while East Island is being converted to work on mission audio, sound effect, porting VCS features, etc... - that works See how I had to insert VCS sounds to BETA2 myself and people all believe it's there already?

[Mateos]

They planned it, and it will probably goes the way it is planned... Sometimes changing a bit could require a bigger reorganization later to know what is left and what need to be done before this or this.

 

But as far as you don't make graphs to optimize the workload... It's fine x)

[DK22Pac]

I have an idea, which can improve graphic in VCS PC. This effect may be included, but it depends of you!

What do you think about my idea? Share your opinions

Insering this into gta engine requires default rendering pipeline editing (and some adaptation for Rw & DX9, too).

Also, MTA has detail mapping shader in shader examples, so that's a much better example.

[Silent]

Oh, that's interesting, thanks.

 

I would really like to avoid shaders though

I don't think that the recrucation is open for now. Otherwise the info would be told on the first page.

Finally!!! Awesome!!!

I am in love I cannot wait for you guys to make it to Ocean Beach and all of it's neon glory.

Nice work, but I see a possible bug (probably Rockstar's one). I see the lighted windows on the wall, when there aren't normal windows:

You should add the links to the downloadable versions on the ModDB page for each file, like dezowave do for his Lost Alpha shots:

Would be really appreciated by ModDB users!

 

(I say this because if I recall fine, Ash said that on the website you have all screen in different resolutions, right? Hope I'm not wrong ^^')

 

Really a detail, but could be worth

And here's how it looks in LOD mode:

 

 

PS: To get this shot I was stood all the way back at the Trailer Park and used the Free Camera to get this shot.

Reminds me of when I was playing VCS on my PSP when my UMD drive broke, before the models would be invisible and it would do the trippey model streak effect from seeing under the map. Happened on both GTA's and another game too. I have to get a replacement PSP because they decide to just break. However the one I got now doesn't seem to do it, plus its got custom firmware so I use modded ISO's, which might be less strain on that poor UMD drive.

 

UMD's=Fail

PC power. R* afraid put LCS and VCS to PC because it would look too pretty

[nkjellman]

Speaking of, (I know this is a long time from now but Ill ask anyway) after this reaches 100% completion, do you think you may port LCS to PC? If so, which GTA will you use (VC or SA)?

 

I already know it is being done but after playing the demo, I feel that the LCS PC Edition team is changing way too many things for it to be original LCS. Yet I do think it will be great, their not bringing the original Rockstar title to PC.

[VERSA]

 

do you think you may port LCS to PC?

Personally, I think this would never happen but if vcs map will be complete pretty soon, theoretically they can start to convert lcs map, but, again, I think this would never happen

[Ash_735]

We're not apart of any LCS PC team, we have enough to deal with with VCS PC. We actually don't need any help at all with the map now, focus will now be shifted onto vehicles and peds once all map targets are met.

[VERSA]

When you planning to work on audio (Vic voice, peds voices, vehicles sound, guns sound, environment sound etc.)?

I understand that. I meant after VCS PC is 100% done are you planning on doing your own LCS mod? The LCS team isn't doing original LCS, but their modified version. But I already now know that you guys just want to do VCS.

[_CP_]

No. Anyway, I never liked Liberty City (apart from 2008's LC). We ever don't know, how many betas we'll release.

[Kalvin]

How could you not like GTA3's Liberty City?!

 

Sorry for being off-topic

[Silent]

Are you aware how MUCH we have to do yet with this mod? I doubt it's gonna take a year, nor two.
