SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[Claude_Lib]

Not sure if serious

Errr, what? Maybe I didn't understand that phrase because I don't know English so good, but I just asked what was the name of the song, no joking.

So after installing GInput and crashing my computer a few times, I realized that a wireless x360 controller connected via charging coord is useless... Does plugging in a PS3 controller work the same way? No GPad for me lol

Friend of mine bought a wireless X360 connector and found it completely useless, because, being wireless, it works only through some special receiver, which is built in Xbox 360 consoles, but sold separately for the PC. Furthermore, it's not even supposed to work wired.

I bought Dualshock3 and the only problem I encountered is geometrical buttons shown as alphabetical in those games. Fortunately, Silent's GInput has a fix for it and it's easily fixable in IV and EfLC. Okay, so:

Wired mode. I connect Dualshock3 to my PC via "USB-A <-> Mini-USB-B" cable, replace PS3 Controller driver with chinese MotionInJoy one, configure virtual X360 controller buttons according to Dualshock3 ones, and play. Any game that supports XInput just works.

Wireless mode. I replace my bluetooth adapter driver with chinese MotionInJoy one, set Bluetooth Master MAC in controller to my BT adapter one and disconnect gamepad. It automatically reconnects by Bluetooth.

P.S. I only install drivers via MotionInJoy. All other routine I do via BetterDS3 tool. DON'T press "Install all" in MotionInJoy drivers page. You'll most likely lose your Bluetooth adapter and have to reinstall it.

Yeah, I use my DS3 the same way, though my BT adapter can't handle it so it's plugged in via the USB cable all the time.

Good choice with BetterDS3 too

You're not really gonna stop it, right?

If it's not for the (unconverted) sounds, people may easily think this is a legit PC port =)

Fix Truck Stop

 

Damn it, can't say that anymore.

I can't swim. Seriously.

 

EDIT:

Good opportunity to say @NTAuthority did all the boring work with gathering relevant data from VCS (PCSX2 savestates ftw) and @maxorator contributed largely to the data storage accession algorithms, so now the code is not bloated with weird stuff

This is great. But please, don't implement the most silly thing from original VCS that come in pair with empire building or make it more balanced - death squads coming out of nowhere, doing drive-by's with super accuracy of attackers hitting almost every bullet and guns that magically get triple rate of fire in drive-by and too frequent businesses attacks after you take over one - you know how it works - you just defended one site and one minute later the empire on the another side of city is under attack and you have to run like crazy through the town being attacked by death squads in the meantime and the only way to stop it was reloading the save.

Fix Custom Tracks Player freeze?

Eh, partially fixed, next build contains an updated vehicleaudioset which has the correct default Radio ID's for the vehicle, meaning the game won't randomly change to Custom Tracks anymore, plus a few adjustments made to try and make it smoother.

OUTSTANDING JOB! Well done

[TommyV.]

Great job

[Igor Bogdanoff]

You are awesome! You are better than R*, because you port it to PC , here are some cookies

[WillzyyyGTA]

Great work! That empire building clip was perfect! Literally like the original game but looks even better.

[Cysiek]

I hope you are not gonna stop to announce final version

[Aerotactics]

I jizzed a little after watching that clip...

 

ANYWAYS, Hey Silent, you know how there was script that should have corrupted the game in GTA SA, is this part of it? I found it in interior 1:

Great progress. Only crouch animation while shooting and the SA Biker Cop broke a little the atmosphere.

 

The rest, I'd judge you're working for R*. Just need to fix a little thing here or there; but this is the most complete TC of all time, no doubt.

 

Waiting for next update. By the way, the Biker Cop will be included on it?

[Keith Ward]

So, since that was part of Marty's missions, does that still mean that the standalone Empire Takeovers won't be available in the next build?

 

It'd be a lovely surprise if they were!

They need to make it functional on freeroam first, and that's A LOT OF WORK, fyi

To Victor, the spoil, was held back because of Truck Stop bug, but now they can unlock the rest of Chapter I's mission =)

[Igor Bogdanoff]

What do you think about my cover, i made?

http://tinypic.com?ref=eev4w

I know it's bad

Edit: I deleted that image and put URL

[Claude_Lib]

Add a Rockstar Poland logo and vcspcedition.com link, please.

Edited February 27, 2014 by Claude Liberty

[Igor Bogdanoff]

OK, sometimes somehow

Where is R* Poland?

Edit: Found it on google

Edit 2: Better? http://tinypic.com/r/16awb2b/8 I know that N is weird in vcspcedition.com

Edited February 27, 2014 by Tomasak

[Claude_Lib]

Yep. Seems better, thanks. Maybe I'll try my own variant sometime later.

[RogueGhost87]

Tomasak dude that is really awesome work,looks great and kinda completes one's GTA collection , btw are you planning on image for the disc?

[Pawbrotm]

I modified Tomasak's cover a bit. Left both web addresses and replaced the old mini-screenshots with the new ones from the game.

It is good, i thought about in game screens, because every GTA has on different platform differen in game screens.

Screen shots are very good, only that with Vic on beach is a bit bad

Here is my version, now withnout in game screenshots

The only problem with game covers is that this game will not be on a disk, and it also won't be a standalone (well, it could be if someone re-packaged all of it's components after install, but that would be...wait...would that be illegal, or immoral? Because it would only be illegal if the team didn't require a GTA SA directory for the install. This isn't even technically a TC, but an entire game itself...we just call it a TC because legal issues. O.o)
