OK. Guys you take a break! You deserve it!

In some years we will see "GTA VCS PCE final version released!"

We (the community) have faith in you, and we are sure you will do the right thing! ;)

Good luck :D

IKR? I need some programmers for my mod, especially to create an executable similiar to the one used on VCS PCE, with more save slots, menu background fill with an artwork, loading bar similiar to the Stories one with new colors. Basically I need some good programmers on my team, so if you wanna join the team, drop me a PM or send me a message on Skype: mariojoao00 (Franklin Clinton)

Sometimes, when you've put so much time and effort into a project, any additional work starts to feel very tedious and you begin to feel like you don't even want to work on it anymore. I've experienced this feeling many times with my projects. So take a break for a while; don't even think about it. Eventually, you'll get a spark of ambition and you'll want to start working on it again.

You seem to need people to do everything for you. Stop talking about your mod on this thread, it's off-topic.

My advice to everyone is to not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Things may look bleak for the completion of this mod at this time, but that doesn't mean things will stay that way. LC has been dormant for probably 75% of the last decade. But every now and then someone comes back and adds something else to it. The biggest obstacle to this mod is the scm conversion. And it's something that any decent scm coder can do if they are willing to dedicate enough time to it. I say if someone is willing to try, they should pick the next mission, decompile the VCS code and try to get it working with the current VCS scm in San Andreas. And keep plugging away until it first compiles and then until it plays bug free. It's VERY time consuming, but also necessary.

 

My advice to Ash (if he reads this) is to just take some time away (whether that's days, weeks, months, or years) and try to enjoy these games again. I know how this can ruin the fun. But just playing them and doing some small scale modding can be very fun. And maybe the time will come down the road where you do want to contribute again. If not, you've done a hell of a lot and I am grateful for what you've done. And if you ever want to help out with the finishing touches to GTA:LC, I'd be very happy to have your input. :)

 

tl;dr: Let this mod have its downtime. Maybe it will come back, maybe it won't. Don't be so quick to label it dead. It's merely pining for the fjords.

Agree with Craig completely. Besides, we're all here for fun, aren't we?

However, looking at some posts I would not be surprised to hear that the team got kidnapped and forced to finish the mod in some dirty basement. ;)

About the scm: i have no idea how complicated it would be, but wouldn't it be possible to implement the VCS opcodes in SA and use the original scm?

There's a reason they have to rewrite the script. If I remember correctly it has to do with their engine. I remember starting to learn SCM, but with 3rd Gen GTA getting older each day, I find that learning SCM would be a step backwards. It's not of interest to me.

That's the saddest thing I've learned since a long time as this mod is the one and only I have ever awaited. You all guys did an awesome job. Maybe one day Ash will change his mind (or you'll find someone to replace him), find some motivation and get this stuff done. Anyways, thanks a lot for anything you've done so far, and for the time devoted to this mod.

Good luck with anything you'll get down to in the future.

Nobody can replace Ash though, maybe do some of the things he does, but Ash was probably the best multi-tool ever. Audio guy, texture guy, and many more things. But still, I'm sure at some point motivation will spark on the team. Things like this happens at least once with people, you eventually get bored of the things you enjoy, to then again go back to what it was again.

... and it ends up like any other Total Conversion I've seen so far. Team gets mad at each other and they all let it die and yeah the motivation is gone.

I could see this mod die for multiple reasons: The mod was way to big and everyone concentrated one too many aspects at one time and the progress slows down. And if you see very little improvement over a big amount of time you will beginn to start losing interesst.

Also the missions had an issue at some point AFAIK and no one was skilled or willed enough to fix that and as soon as the map was done, you began to remodel it. The purpose of that is zero, if you wanna keep the original feel to the map.

 

TL;DR: Too much at one time, too much attention at unimportant details and the slow progress killed to mod. That was what killed my TC too and I predicted it a long time ago in this thread that this will mod will never be fully finished for this very obv. reasons and no one listened to me and told me that this time "everything was different" AHHAHAAHAHA Very funny, guys. Very funny.

I don't see any instance of the team getting mad at eah other. If anyone, Ash was mad at the community, not his fellow modders. He got tired of them and lost motivation.

 

 

The purpose of that is zero, if you wanna keep the original feel to the map.

The point of the mod is to create a proper PC port that Rockstar never gave us. They upgraded the textures to the quality that the rest of the games held. It's not like they were trying to make it super HD. They were trying to make it better.

What do you want for this? A medal? An apologize that we should have stopped a long time ago instead?

 

Also, who's mad at who? That's pretty new to me, y'know.

That's strange, I don't recall anyone getting mad at one another on the team.
