Anyway guys , i dont know if this is a bug or not , nor i don't know is this caused by any plugin i add ( dk normalmap and such ) , but , whenever i buy the bullet-proof sanchez , the game just exits , any ideas ?

Perhaps the vehicle ID was changed, so instead of spawning a sanchez, it was trying to spawn 1 of 2 or 1 of 3 corrupt vehicles (as there are corrupt vehicle IDs currently in the game). Wild guess though.

thanks , but i think i've found the issue , on my save whenever i enter a vehicle with the ak-47 ( obtained with a cleo script ofc. ) it crashes.

Do you think you'll re-texture the West Island along with the East? Or do you think that'll be unnecessary effort?

Do you think you'll re-texture the West Island along with the East? Or do you think that'll be unnecessary effort?

There's a lot less stuff that needs re-textures on the West Island but yeah it would be a nice little noticeable boost in some areas, we already have Downtown S re-converted by CP because he wasn't happy with the original version, so in theory, that could be prepped for a re-texture right away, both DowntowS and DowntowN have been switched over to the new neons so you guys will see that little change right away.

 

The way I'm working it would be a reverse of the original, so if I were to carry on, once I've done all the East island, I'd move West and target Prawn Island and Starfish Island next and then back fully onto the West Island, just easier to work with that way. Right now I'm still messing with "mall" which is now up to 11 new textures having to be created by myself with help from Chris, that should be enough, so I'm working on packing them now and then I'll do some comparison shots and see if anything stands out.

Hey, we need something to arrive in the future updates too

[Keith Ward]

Sounds pretty good to me! I can't wait to see how it looks...

[Silent]

So do I*

 

*As I don't want Dropbox app to drain my precious interwebs my build still dates to July map-wise.

You sir need to update your build.

And while you're at it, you should make that build public XD JK

[Keith Ward]

Can my donations go towards getting Silent a half decent internet provider?

[Solidcal]

The sun rising over the buildings album cover looks like a random shot from VCS itself. Either that or San Andreas. The others besides the Phil Collins cover, I have no clue about. Also loving what has been done thus far.

[Ash_735]

Anyone want to have a go at remaking this? I've done one but it looks a little flat compared to the original:

 

 

This is for the wall display outside Needle Traxs.

[Aerotactics]

@Ash, I could try.

when the next update will come out?

[Ash_735]

When it's ready, in the mean time you guys can play the rushed out VCS on VC Mod since they're aiming to beat us out on that.

LOL Looks cheap and rushed as f*ck just look at the trailers and they are limited by the vice city engine there mouths don't even move lol

[Aerotactics]

 

Yeah it's purely a port, no HD support, or advancements in any way. IMO it looks like [bLEEP]. I think they should just stop. I also think that Silent has some 'splaining to do, Mr. contributor.

u sure?

[Reyks]

Remade dat texture for ya:

 

 

Thoughts?

-snip-

[Ash_735]

Nice, not bad, just a minor correction, but the black on the most front left circle should be 10232b, and the red inside it should be 921720, also the record reflection should be south, would be cool if you could get the tint of 10232b in there too.

 

Here's the mock I done up but couldn't be bothered to do that record properly:

 

PS: Also noted Sal_Leone liked it, so I guess it's now in their mod too.

That's uncalled for. They have as much right to do this modification as the next guy, it's free territory .

 

Sure, but its still rushed and clearly shows lack of thought was put into the project.

[tmitchell48]

sorry if i sort of started a war one here

[Reyks]

Fixed.

 

 

As for the disc reflection, i can't really do anything about it since it is a pic i got from goggle. It would require making the texture again, you can edit it if you want, anyways here's the pic i used:

 

 

 

 

EDIT: If you guys need help with some textures PM me and i will try to remake them, depending on the texture ofc.
