It worked, thanks guard but it still teleports me to destinations on the other missions. Isn't there an .ini file that i can configure and disable that?

TIP: Just use arrow keys for the time being. That should do the trick.

Guys a little help, i downloaded the mod, i'm going to test it out for the 1st time, and i go to the readme file and obviously read it, and it says i need to run the setup application but i can't find it anywhere, onlt the gta vcs application, is that normal? because it's asking me to open something i don't have

SOMEBODY OPENED THE README????

 

 

The readme hasn't been updated since the original BETA 3.0 "Blue Hesper" release, back when it was done with an Installer. The WIP Builds (which is the one people should should be downloading now) are self contained and don't require installing, just extracting to an EMPTY folder (don't extract to any GTA installation). And yeah, I've not updated the readme because honestly it felt like nobody read it, so congrats, in six years, you're the first person to openly say they looked at the readme!  

[Mr Zedd]

Any suggestions to reduce random crashes? Running on Win 10

[Meekhail]

Can you mod developers please do a little thing? Can you bring the real ped.ifp from GTA VCS? All the pedestrians are walking like in Sanandreas. Also, can you please bring the real sfx and quotes/voices of pedestrians and Victor Vance from GTA VCS? It will give more VCS feel to the mod.

We still haven't figured out how to get the ped animations from game.dtz, unfortunately

Maybe this can help

Just use the LCS ped.ifp since both LCS & VCS have same animations.

I don't know if this was ever discussed but I did just that almost a year ago when I joined the team as an animator, I checked nearly every LCS animation and compared them to VCS running on an emulator, then converted whatever matched. A lot of them are done but I stopped because I thought a ped.ifp rip was just around the corner... that didn't work out so well.  

 

i'm still hyped to get the real swimming animations in the mod

[Meekhail]

Well, what about the protagonist and pedestrian voices/quotes? 

[guard3]

vcs anims are in game.dtz. No ifp editor is gonna get them out

[alone haha]

how i can fix minidump error?

[Meekhail]

The game still crashes after passing Fear the Repo and starting next mission. Is there any fix for that?

[LaDiDa]

Not playing the missions since scripting isn't at all complete would help reducing crashes to pretty much 0.

[Blackmorebard]

Hey, I'm trying to launch the latest version - alas after the loading screen the game just crashes (i'm launching it as an administrator). I've previously played the 2018 Jan version and it worked relatively well.

typos

[alone haha]

it's impossible to play missions  

[Meekhail]

Is there going to be a fix for playable missions in the future? 

Well, what am I going to ask is something not related to this post but, is there any VCS mod for Vice City engine or gta LCS mod for gta sanandreas engine? If any exist please reply me with the link to that thread.

[Donut157]

could you put in µTorrent?

[Meekhail]

Today I somehow managed to get past the mission "Waking Up the neighbors". But now I am stuck in the mission "O brothel, where art thou". This mission is just too hard to pass in this mod whereas in the original version, it wasn't. The hookers I need to rescue are not shooting back at the hostile cholos. And whatever 4 seated car i use, it takes only two shots from the shotgun used by the cholos to either explode it, or to catch fire. And not to mention the minidump errors. Please fix it. I want to complete the game desperately in this mod.

Guys we believe in you, you can finish this project.

[TwoShoes]

would you guys mind if I make a motivational video to keep you motivated?

[haim3307]

I got "vcspc.dll has failed to load" with no anti virus on windows 10 1903 , any way to solve this issue?

[robert98]

Hello guys! Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for taking their time to make this thing happen. I have played the first 2 missions, but I wasn't able to complete the third mission because it autocompletes and it basically skips the mission. I'm trying to do a walkthrough of the game in the curent form.

It's a damn shame that VCS didn't get a 10th anniversary remaster  I would've enjoyed it TO THE EXTREME

 

Rockstar, y u no like Vice City Stories hmmm?

 

Was there ever an explanation for that? Or was it just brushed under the rug like most things nowadays.

LCS mobile didn't sell well, so they don't even bothered spending resources (on LCS case, STEALING resources lol) releasing a VCS mobile. That sucks, really, VCS is one of the best in series (I prefer it than VC )

 

At this point, the best to do (IMO, and IF the team wanted to do so) would be use the assets to remaster PS2/PSP version to play on emulator (similar to the mod @MAJEST1C_R3 is creating for LCS).

Wow. As usual, the consumers get the sharp end of the stick whilst Rockstar, I don't know, keep pumping out GTA Online updates? Lol

 

Funny how a company that sells us on the idea of stealing would steal themselves.

@The_Mechanix suprised me once when showed me PS Vita gameplay of my old version (2016) of converted LCS PS2 map which I posted somewhere. It has graphical glitches with popping polygons but in new version of map I'll fix them anyway. So seems to be not only PPSSPP players can play remastered GTA Stories...

 

Also I think it is possible to remaster PS2 versions of Stories to play on more powerful consoles, but there are no tools for it for now...

Guys, I've said this in this thread before:

 

It's not a matter of Rockstar "hating VCS" or taking preference to adding content to GTA Online.

 

The real reason Rockstar have never released a VCS remaster is because they no longer have the rights to all the music in the radio stations. Remember how they're always cutting songs from later realeases of San Andreas and the Steam version of Vice City?

 

In order to be able to release the game now, they would have to cut down most of the radio stations by 40%, or completely re-do them. Cutting them down would be a disservice, and re-doing them would cost too much and would involve licensing new music.

Re-licensing all the original music in the game would cost millions of dollars, and there's no way that a mobile re-release would be able to recoup that amount to make the game profitable.

 

Also, VCS originally undersold LCS on the PSP and PS2, and did not receive glowing reviews upon release. WE all may love the game, but we're in the minority. 

[zanesix]

Kind of unrelated and sorry if this doesn't fit in this thread but I just found that on Rockstars manual page they have a link to a unique page showing all the music in the game as well as some even having lyrics and cover art. Any of you have any idea why this would exist?
