GTA III and Vice City fully reverse engineered

[The Hero 7,474]

 

                        

 

 

A dream for many of us has become reality and has finally become mature enough to be officially announced here:

Source code for GTA 3 and Vice City.

 

Over the course of about 1.5 years a group of people has reverse engineered both games completely.

Finally we're able to build both games from source which opens up a whole new level of modding.

 

They have also already been ported to many other platforms (Linux, Nintendo Switch, Playstation Vita, Nintendo Wii U).

Wish LCS and VCS were ported to PC and the mod community was like that

Why'd you steal work of the Switch port project made singlehandedly by one person?

Now modding community has unlimited freedom to create new things with those games. Maybe we can expect multiplayer and ports to many other platforms, even reSA in near future. Congratulations to the team!

OpenRW is better.

Awesome work! : )

Man mod options on the menu excite me more than it should, VCS may not be so far now.

Excellent work!!

[gts. 2,434]

Well, this explains a lot. So, that's why no more standalone mods, right? Lol.

Congratulations, this is a new milestone reached in the gta modding scene.

I have a problem. When I try to download the mod. Everytime is downloaded, the file is damaged.

Would it now be possible to make a ragdoll mod for GTA III and a better replay mode, closer to GTA IV?

If you have enough skills, the answer is yes.

Nice one! We're over the moon with you, my lad.

Guys , need full control of hud position \ scale ( safezone ) , fov values etc . Is this possible ? Also need mixed control of mouse + gamepad with PS2 cam positions . I don't find settings of widescreen-fix at least

The fellows here found a way around this, you have to have access to the game files (by any means), for it to be decompileable.

The worst thing that could happen would be if the ToS stated something about reverse-engineering, but let's check how scummy those pieces of sh*t good people Take-Two really are.

 

Hats off and kudos to all you people, fantastic job! This is really a milestone for GTA Modding.

 

I can't elaborate on how happy I am for this to have happened.

[Dominik_ 674]

Good work! It was really fun to test these during development.

[Jimmy 3,603]

Glorious day for III Era modding indeed. Some of us have been waiting for something like this for years. I guess we'll see a lot of map ports soon from now.

No way, this is some gold-tier stuff! Nice work, @The Hero! That's a pretty impressive gig right there. Hope to see some mods or other stuff related to this...
