SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[PabelR7]

is there any way i can help i can convert/make; characters, land, weapons, loadingscreens, sounds, some cleo scripts, hd retextures, hd icons (512x512 for game .exe)....

So help finalizing VCS map if you can - most of East side and West side is not yet finished

thanks for the gta3ps2.img ok i want to start rigging peds if its ok what peds are left :S

or if you want land more what land should i start with?

Peds are handled by Luten, so he'll tell you. What's more important is map converting (that, if you know how to do)

yeah i know how to convert mop parts import, then export as a dff and then add collision and make txd

but i dont what MDL to start with any info?

 

edit also should i add it to the map with MapEd or should i just send the dff txd and col to Luten :S

Download VCS PC beta 1 and try to put your work in there. Like hackman does

[Ash_735]

Yeah, easier to just get the current BETA and then practice your work on that, and then send it off to Luten when you think it's ready.

In all honesty, don't ask me, I'm only helping out with some menu textures and audio. Best ask Luten or even send him a PM.

I'm making new base army. That's what I made for now:

[Mr. Myriad]

HackMan128 wow awesome! These screens almost aren't differ of original vcs on psp. However there's good difference for example on your screens graphic is a more bright and greate therefore this graphic part'll be much pretty than original analog.

New palms and timecyc sunlight fix:

[Ash_735]

I'm certain the radio textures are done from as far as I can see so throwing them here for people to see and perhaps point out any flaws.

 

 

 

 

[TheD199434]

Looks very good, only add more contrast/darkness in and it'll be perfect!

[Mr. Kingpin]

Looks good. Are you going to upload the fixes and updates now or in the next version of the release?

So this is a logo and loading screen concept I came up with in Photoshop last night, mostly based off the VCS website. I could do a black version too, which is probably more suitable.

It's scaled down from the original 1024x1024 version, so that's why it looks choppy.

[HackMan128]

No, try to make the logo pinky. It will be great.

Perfect! I always digged those shapes in VCS website and you found a perfect place to use them. I think colors and everything fits perfectly.

Any way you could post full resolution? I would like to see details.

[Dragonji]

When final version of the conversion? Will there be converted missions from VCS?

[Masterdevil90]

maybe you chould make the loading screen without the "PC edition" and add it to the credits down like other GTA games ...

just sayin'

[Luten]

For now unfortunately no. We can't convert animation from VCS because they have different format.

hey luten are you going through the MDL files in order or are you just randomly going through them?

Here you go! I've also tested it in-game too, and it looks pretty good.

[Rokas.]

So cool! I love it, color pattern is perfect!

[ska]

Thanks! I don't know about making a black version though, as I think it would be more in line with the actual VCS loading screen.

Sorry for quoting the entire thing but I only did it because I completely agree with Rokas.

 

This should be, without a single doubt, the official logo screen for the game.

[ska]

Here's a total of what I've completed and done so far. EAX/Nvidia screens, and the logo screen.

 

 

I'm willing to do any other needed graphics, too.

[Ash_735]

Brilliant work mate, just one problem, the aspect size is way off, the way you've done it, is that the VCS logo and text looks normal at 512x512 (and 1024x1024) where as the game (by default) stretches these out to 4:3 resolutions, so you're really best of making these look normal at say 1600x1200 (a 4:3 resolution) and then scale it down to 1024x1024 to fit in with the texture requirements of the menu, that way, when they're displayed by the game, they'll look normal to other people and not stretched out at an awkward ratio.

 

Look at the original loading screen textures to see what I mean, specifically the logo, it is horizontally squashed from a 4:3 ratio into the texture size.

[Luten]

 

-ska it's looks great but try to scale it to 1024x1024

I only had the textures scaled at 1024x1024 because the game tends not to distort them at that resolution. For some odd reason, the game has been designed so that the width of the texture has to be equal to the height (for example, 512x512 instead of 512x256), otherwise the images will appear choppy. However, I did resize the logo screen to 1024x728, and it came out looking much better in-game aside from some slight choppiness.

 

I'll try it with some of the other textures (I've completed a set of menu background also), and I'll see what results better.

 

@Luten: Hah, don't worry, I just had them scaled down so they wouldn't stretch the page out on here. Also, you wouldn't have any idea on how to edit the menu font colors, would you? I'd like to try tweaking that, if possible.
