Not much going on right now, we've found a bunch of texture names, and I'm going back into vehicle textures which is at least a good point to show off how bad the original textures were, and what we've done, so for a quick look, here's the Ambulance one...

VCS PS2            -            VC PS2            -            VCS PC

 

In this example we're mainly using assets we have a better source on, for this we used the GTA3 Xbox Ambulance textures, colour corrected and then took parts from the VC Xbox texture, some stuff scaled with Waifu2x, and one small part from Manhunt PS2's vehicles. Then we used the same lights texture that they've been assigned in vehshare (since these ones are used for LOD, gotta make sure they match).

 

How about something a little more VCS specific?

VCS PS2        -        VCS PC

 

So here, we took what we could from the VC PS2 texture (this is one vehicle that didn't get an upgrade in VC Xbox), so we have some elements scaled with waifu2x, and then we mixed in other upscale AI's to make up the rest of the missing parts, using various settings and editing the best results of each, in one AI mode, the metal parts look better, in another, the fabric lining is better, etc, that sort of thing. We've then selected the correct lights this vehicle now uses and of course tidied it up.

 

But this brings me on to a small point, we're seeing a lot of AI Upscaled mods lately for GTA games and most seem to be rushed, they'll just mass export, ran through one AI or two, then mass imported, this leads to a lot of "misread" parts of the image, the AI can be good for quick stuff but it's best put to use when having it output various methods and then manually editing the best parts of each into your final copy. These AI's are brilliant, so put them to use properly

The textures look good really worth playing this remastering made by fans.

Sadly this is not a VCS feature, they just use the normal moon in that, but on the plus side the quality of the moon is better

Hello please it would be possible to add moon phases as optional. Regards.

No. it wouldnt

Hello Ash_735 You can upload some screenshots about the progress in the game.

And sorry for my bad English is not my first language.

[Ash_735]

The progress of 4 days? There's nothing to show in-game, hell I don't even have those new vehicle textures in-game yet, I'm just working on them.

 

And as we've stayed multiple times over, main work is finding the file names.

I have some issues with the mod, when I start playing, the graphics start f*cking about (graphics start glitching around, etc.), how do I fix this?

[guard3]

Do you have 32bit mode in your resolution settings?

[ezmegaz68]

I cant decide if these "how many missions are done?" people are really that stupid or if they're just trolling

Props to you guys, I would have snapped a long time ago if I had to deal with people like this for years

[KX_]

has someone had something like automatic skipping missions, some bug? It is possible to fix it? I have watched a lot videos on YouTube and everyone can plays missions without any problems. I have tried with two version of GTA SA 1.1 and Steam Version, any tips? thanks.

[LaDiDa]

Old outdated builds I guess???

missions are currently not being worked on/fixed/added/changed. Just god dang it, do you want this team to just quit because of these stupid reports on problems they're already aware of and stated multiple times on multiple pages that they're currently out of scope since no one does scripting at the moment? Just give 'm a break, let them do their thing handling the games internal workings (cracking names mainly) & this project might just do fine at a later point in time with maybe an usable script from a mobile port or something someone made from scratch...

I think the Team, especially Ash_735 and guard3, Is already working on the main.scm scripts, So stop saying that, There is no mobile port!.

And from where you got this info? As far as i can tell from all posts posted here by Ash and Guard, Ash is working on textures with AG and others and Guard is working on getting map with names for models and textures.

I said I thought they were doing it but it was just a guess, I apologize to the members who are working on the mod.
