SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[Ash_735]

What about the interiors progress, guys?

Going good, we're kinda hungry but no one appears to be working the night shift:

shantam777, I only know two things able to provide realistique reflections. These are ENB and VC-GFX I've shown earlier. Or maybe it's just modified reflection texture. So either that or they really ported Vice City Graphics Hack to work on VCS:PC.

[Kalvin]

Wasen't it/isn't it something that DexX made? It was something like SA-GFX or something similar.

[Claude_Lib]

AFAIR, it fixes some problems with standard reflection, doesn't provide realistic ones.

Latest versions actually do:

 

And they're way better than ENB's reflections, it's a shame it hasn't been updated for a while.

Actually, it's under development. Check DexX signature.

[Claude_Lib]

I guess he's the same guy who made vcgfx. He's really impressive.

I know you guys MAYBE will add some stuff, but only after reaching your objectives, but I was thinking if you can add Fast Foods, as in San Andreas, I mean, in VCS there are two King Knuts, some shops in the Vice Point Mall, it'll be cool

You're doing an epic job, I love you

Awesome, Ash

I'd like to see more garages. Original VCS has only three - it's not enough. I really would like to storage more vehicles.

I remember only two. But I prefer only original stuff, for better experience.

There are no SA-GFX or ENB on our screens/ We don't use any reflection mod.

EDIT: Nevermind. Silent told me

[Claude_Lib]

OK, two questions.

1) How have you got these reflections without any graphics mod?

2) Is Maverick really converted from VCS? Not that I don't believe you, but it really is quite the same as VC one.

1) I really don't know actually, may be something to do with vehicle.txd, or the model itself. Of course Silent won't tell us that, but I don't mind that. Unless you give him a LOT of cookies.

2) It is in the original same, so it's similar here as well. And yes, it is converted. The colors are identical.

About cookies. I'd be really glad if you guys gave us way to donate.

Perhaps at the time BETA3 is released, sure

[Ash_735]

Not heard of that one before, where did you find that?

[MrMateczko]

This texture in VC in gta3.img is in "xrefhotels.txd" and it's called "alt_hotsigns2". Probably just a leftover. "alt" might mean "Alternative"?

[Claude_Lib]

Didn't know VC included such hi-res textures. I guess there is "hotsigns2" texture, without "alt" prefix?

[elMarcoPL]

I bet it is a texture remade by Blaster to his VC:HD mod. VC didn't have such great textures.

 

I never heard of that name before, anyway.

 

@UP: Oh, you've been faster.

[Silent]

How many people use Windows 2000 here yet? Anyone interested in a fact we've 'reversed' the minimal required operating system from XP SP2 down to 2000?

[_CP_]

Ah, who use Win2K in these modern days?

[Silent]

I had one, literally ONE report regarding Win2k incompatibility since BETA2 was released.

That's always one person playing the mod more

 

"We care about every audience, even if it consists of one person" should be BETA3 motto

What about Dos or Windows 1.0? Windows 95/98? Mac OSX? JK

 

But how are missions coming along?

[plsdeletemyprofileN0r0k]

ay, some OSX Support would be great ^^

i cant get BETA 2 to work, hopefully in BETA 3 or later it will be possible

I don't use OSX, I'm using Windows 7/8. I was joking lol. OSX is hard to support because you can't downgrade your game to 1.0.

I'm not really sure whether it would even be possible to get native OS X support without a complete rewrite of all the hooks and other files made using the Windows APIs. Did you try using CrossOver, WineSkin or any other Windows wrapper for OS X?

[MrMateczko]

KernelEx might do the trick for Win98. With it, it's possible to run SA on Win98, and since VCS PC is based on SA, it should work. Keep in mind you'll need GF6600GT, or something similar, to run it.

[Silent]

I thought SA supports Windows 98? The message box appears only when you're launching it on Windows 95

 

Nothing older than Win2000 will be supported though - totally not worth it + Inno Setup installers work on Windows 2000 and newer only. Earlier versions don't support Unicode.
