Louise Cassidy-Williams - When Funday Comes.

After finishing VCS like 6 times a week back in 2011 I still don't know what you talking about

Louise Cassidy-Williams - When Funday Comes.

Dude...it's the first mission offered by Louise. (I haven't played VCS a single time btw...just checked the first page )

[Junior.]

I'm impressed no one seen the sarcasm

 

Or maybe found out but was beign sarcastic about the sarcasm

[Kalvin]

Or maybe they were being sarcastic about being sarcastic about the sarcasm.

 

Anyway, nope, I don't see any new missions there.. I definitely don't see that big pink circle what when you step in, starts a mission!

[Agem]

 

Ah, anyone else having a bit of Rasta-Braza nostalgia?

Of course not! Why did you say that? It's mean. of course i am :v

Oh damn.

[Junior.]

Why so curious?

[Agem]

Also if that was sarcasm, it didn't seem like, but okay. MUST REPLACE ALL SA SOUNDS OTHERWISE VCS FEELING WILL BE DESTROYED

[Junior.]

Sarcasm was just the part of new missions.

 

I agree man, 100% agree.

[Agem]

Unless you mean Vic is sarcastic (which I think sometimes he was. Well, his joke about Lance being kicked out of the scouts was funny like hell)

[Junior.]

I was sarcastic about not understanding that there were new missions on Ash's pic.

[nkjellman]

What we don't know as the first post is outdated:

-If Boomshine Blowout is done

-If any more Marty missions are done

-Which, and how many Luise missions are done

[Junior.]

I think that Shakedown is done because a few pages back there were the interiors of the shops in this mission Luten converted.

[JourneyGuy]

Hi, I've been following this mod for quite a while but haven't really had the time to make an account on this site. I just have one question about this. I heard that you guys will only be doing the first 16 missions and not the whole game (yes I realize this seems a bit much) but I'd like to the confirm my suspicions. Thanks.

 

Keep up the awesome work on this

[elMarcoPL]

I guess first 16 mission will be in third beta. Other ones will come with next release

[Claude_Lib]

First 16 missions, that is checklist for third beta that will release in June 6th. Of course they will try to completely port the whole game which means every single mission presented in original game plus maybe making extra challenges.

[Ash_735]

- Boomshine Blowout is NOT done

- No further Marty missions have been done, just corrected the current ones to work better

- Only "When Funday Comes" has been done for Louise so far, but that mission was done is just a few days

- Most of the Shops are now on the map, so you can see them when driving around, enter them, etc

- Small thing, but we now have the correct Radar Blip Colours (Friend, Threat, Destination, etc)

- Map stuff is still being done, mainly cleanup of unused files and bug corrections, missing props, etc

- Once again, yes, BETA 3 will be the first 16 mission, which is Chapter 1 of the game, aka "Pre-Empire Phase"

- Various Vehicles are being converted and work on

- Sound wise, nothing to report on SFX stuff, but AMBIENT stuff has been done, which includes the Shop Music, the Water sounds (inc. Seagulls) and a few other things

[Pawbrotm]

About vehicles. I'm just curious. Is this bug on Washington already fixed:

We can see what's behind a car via a gap above the front light.

[EncryptedReality]

It's probably a game shader issue. While faces where the problems occur are all converted and modelled just fine, the glass shader makes it seethrough (it may differ from generic

glass on doors and windscreens)

 

Same problem would occur if you look through glass on boats - you just see seabed grounds instead of water cover as well. It's something i remember from playing San An in the good ol' days

[VinceDreux]

Is there a way to add the pager?

[Silent]

 

Is there a way to add the pager?

There's a way to add anything, but nothing has been done towards adding pager... yet?

[Claude_Lib]

Just curious. Will you release all your tools after game is complete? Maybe some other guys would use them to convert LCS to PC, because it's good game too.

[Ash_735]

Our tools are VCS specific, as far as I'm aware HackMan is using his LCS version of the tools for that LCS on Vice City mod, where he's now doing Portland.

Up to Hackman (author), who shared them for LCS to PC

 

Also Silent.

 

Edit: Bang, not fast enough

Eventually you won't need the tools as all the models are already converted to Renderware. I'm sure the team won't care if you take a converted model and use it in a different TC, as long as you give them credit. Before they were made from scratch so I can understand it but they may take a different stance as they are converted.

 

As for the check list. So I know that when all the missions have a yellow X, it means the missions are done for Beta 3. But what about the peds and vehicles.

-Is the check list for those all of the ped and vehicle models or are there more?

-Is that a check list that you guys want to have done for Beta 3, or is it the mod in general?

 

Also, I don't remember which mission was which, but what do you do in the last mission that will be available in Beta 3? Do you unlock the Compound Safe House?

 

But for the East Island, I know for a fact Beta 3 won't have it. So I'm wondering, when will the East Island appear?

-A later update for Beta 3.

-Beta 4.

-When ever the mission progress reaches the point where the East Island is unlocked.

[_CP_]

I guess, whole east island will be included in beta 4.

[nkjellman]

I guess, whole east island will be included in beta 4.

My guess is Beta 4 is Summer of 2014? Seems that a beta rolls out every year. But I could be wrong. Dev progress will speed up, as the mod will reach a point where all it needs done are missions and cut scenes.

[Kalvin]

 

-A later update for Beta 3.

 

There will never be a update to a already released version of a BETA, don't even say "but what if they'll be big bugs what need to be fixed", there won't - because Ash will annoy the hell out of the team members to fix it, after he finds them

 

 

My guess is Beta 4 is Summer of 2014?

Maybe, maybe not. It depends if the team wants to take a break after 3-5 years of continuely working on the mod

My guess is wait. I bet 10 dollars on it. Bets, anyone?
