SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[jochuan]

There is a story mode named Great Theft Car by Johnix, which features some sort of Empire Building System. i guess it's pretty close to what we have in VCS.

Too bad there are few of you guys left here. Silent, CP, NTA and Ash for now, that's all. Though i really think you need more people, I can't think of anyone skilled enough to join you.

LINK/2012, Aztecas, format:c, TJGM, _DK, _F_

[Claude_Lib]

Yeah, forgot about them. Sorry, guys!

[El Dorado]

What, me? I just translated some dialogue. Speaking of it, I need to do a revision, but lately I'm feeling more lazy than the usual

Any known ETA for the next big update?

 

Originally I believe the next major update was planned for sometime before the end of this year, but Silent mentioned that with Ash leaving the project it may be delayed until early 2015.

 

What happend with Ash?

He got himself banned after going on a rant in the V section about how folks weren't smart enough as him and egging on the moderators.

 

I think that should be stickied to the top somewhere, lots of folks seem to be asking it.

Where can I download that silentpatch, searoader? ;p how it make to work with SA. Is the patch from gtaIII works there?

Download it here and then type in the cheats "FOURWHEELFUN" and "SEAROADER". Then use the quadbike and drive on water. If you replace the quadbike model with a decent jetski and convert the drive on water code (if player is in quadbike set driveonwater=1) you will have an almost perfect jetski and it even features the fall off of bike just like in VCS if you drive against an object too fast.

Thank you for the information, universetwisters. This is very sad.

Silent could put this information in the first post. A lot of people will ask again.

Unfortunately, due to all the fuss around the new patches and GInput VCS has fallen to a low priority for me, at least

 

 

Oh dear. Das no fun. ):

 

I assume just porting the map and then dropping the main.scm into the game isn't the easy way of getting functionality?

 

EDIT: I also wish I knew more about hacking and GTA modding. I would love to help out if I could. ):

Eh, nope.

Blegh, that surely makes things difficult. I was assuming the method would be akin to ArmA that if you have the base map and the content, it functions but needs tweaking here and there to run without scripting issues. But those engines perhaps use nearly every core feature that previous games do, save for custom scripts which will just not work in a basic drag-and-drop porting effort.

 

So that means you have to essentially convert, set up, and test every mission and piece of side content? I can see how that can make a project such as this a potentially long requirement of time and energy.

That's cool information Finally we can do destroyable buildings in GTA. Is any rednerware games has real reflections on cars, then we could do it!

In the case of missions and other SCM assets, yeah. That's why I find engine work much less frustrating, and that's why Sil Pal got many little engine tweaks and little SCM work.

I'm curious, so perhaps you can enlighten me. When it comes to making missions..what tools are used? Is there a tool that allows 3D editing ala GTA Online's mission creator, or is it a mess that requires editing the coordinates in the main SCM file and working with no 3D idea on what's going on? Because the latter seems like a legit nightmare to handle.

[Silent]

Check out Sanny Builder.

[l911]

No dude cheeck out DYOM if you want just to create missions for fun, if you want to make modification you need have code knowlage (tuff sh*t if you ask me) and as silent said sany builder.

DYOM is the easiest way to create missions if you dont have much code knowlenge.

Not to stir any drama, but any news on Ash?

 

Other than the fact that he's still banned (wtf).

Edited November 22, 2014 by Tranquil_Suit

[Reyks]

He banned himself, and afaik he's not coming back sadly. I only hope he's changed his mind about leaving the VCS:PCE team.

 

#PrayForAsh

[tmitchell48]

Perhaps ash is looking over this forum as an anonymous user. perhaps ash will return one day

[universetwisters]

I can't imagine him coming back. I remember he made a very long message about it or whatever right as he was banned. And even then, he knew what he was getting into by requesting it/bugging the moderators. You reap what you sow.

E. Found it.

 

 

I don't think you guys will be seeing me around anymore, but it's been fun working on this project. I'll be banned soon thanks to the Pro Aggressive PC Only Gamers over in the GTAV section who bash consoles and can't stand anything negative being said about PC Gaming, so in return they report all my posts, now being given warnings for posts when they do the same sh*t. Whatever, people need to learn to just be gamers, none of this stupid faction bullsh*t where you side with one area, if you play games, you're a gamer end of, don't big up the fact you're with PlayStation, Xbox or PC, do you really think the men above give a flying sh*t about you?

maybe he's a bit angry due to the v section kids try'na break his opinions and made that statement ? still , people DO change mind sometimes

[TJGM]

That post of his was back when he risked getting banned, but it never actually happened.

That's right, the one where he was asking for it got binned. Thanks for the correction.

[KowalskiGuy]

Well, tell him we all say Happy Birthday to him and, uuuh, wish him the best things in his life and this project.

 

And give those cookies from him. Please, try to NOT eat them all.
