I have a nother question. 
In you're mode the rampages when the player fails for some reason they have 2 spawn locations like in the original/vanila game or just one?
I have failed the Triads rampage one with the Shoutgun in the Portaland. I didn't see spawning the 2 one it's just not spawning at all.

Well the bad thing i didn't find the 2 one to kill the Triads with the Shoutgun. I thing you just change the standart location of the second spawn location for the Rampages.

Слушай, так может ты просто прокатишься по местам где лежали Ремпейджи в оригинале, автор на самом деле просто как я понял их перекладывает с места на место(пример тому Импорт/Экспорт)

Можешь сайт попробовать использать gtasnp, мне помог в поисках пакетов скрытых

Presumably the download corrupted for you, at some point.

And how do I download it without errors? I tried different browsers and tried downloading on my phone and the same error, Internet is normal.

Hey, I found a way to significantly reduce the weight\size of the mod, for this you need to convert radio files to Wav Ima Adpcm using Audacity (Radio in GTA III uses Wav Ima Adpcm format - is a compressed Wav file, and with virtually no sound degradation) [The audio folder occupies 5000 MB!]

 

I converted the radio files to Wav Ima Adpcm, and now the Audio folder occupies 1884 MB, which is better than 5000 MB.

Sounds like you're either on, or started on an older patch where a few specific pickups could get stuck in memory, resulting in the briefcase being unable to spawn. I would suggest firstly updating to see if that helps, and failing that collecting those possibly stuck pickups:

Spoiler

(rocket launchers on the lighthouse island and/or an AK inside Raffle's Fish Factory)

 

Failing that, other things that remove pickups (hidden packages, rampages etc) may also help free up that memory.

Hi, I passed the mod to the second island. I really like the mod, although it doesn't seem difficult to me, most missions are completed with 1-3 attempts, only the mission with the ship in the port and the hunt for golden Diablo were really difficult.

I found a couple of bugs:
1) At the wall, near the gate, where we save the old Asian, there is no collision if you go by car, on foot there is a collision
2) When I was looking for packages, I fell near the elevator, but there is no way to get out of there and the only way out is to die or reload the save. Maybe we should add some kind of ladder to the top inside, or some kind of beam, so that this problem does not exist
3) During a mission with a skunk in the trunk, I moved the car with a blow and it rolled away from the pickup truck with the ingot. Then I didn't pick it up by car and completed the mission, but now this ingot is stuck on the map without collision and does not disappear. Maybe it's worth changing the algorithm for deleting the pickup from memory?

I have an idea about the "Grand Theft Auto" mission from Kenji. And what if we move the Infernus from the underground parking lot to a place behind the wall, where there was a cache of armor and M16 in the original? And put two Colombians with AK-47s next to each other? Moreover, there is a springboard from which you can fly to the other side. So it would be more fun, follow the link screen with my scheme

Can I upload this mod and Tightened Vice on liberty City.ru and Nexus mods?

I would prefer not, ideally. As it'll quickly become outdated when updates are released, and then I'll be dealing with even more bug reports for old issues that have already been fixed.

I will periodically update files on these sites if updates are released.

 

And I noticed that in Tightened Vice, you forgot to add the song Lionel Richie - Running with the Night on Flash FM (Previously it was only on PS2), and you forgot to restore the army advertisement on the K-Chat radio station (Previously it was also only on the PS2 version) But I have already restored them: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1lcbk4i5o10y3kh/Audio.rar?dl=0  [and it doesn't remove the new songs of Tightened Vice]

I also don't know how to fly a Dodo, but there are 2 ways to pass.

1) Install CLEO script "New Dodo aircraft physics" from DimZet and fly over (it is not necessary to replace the aircraft model)
2) Drive it like a car to the bridge, carefully go around the barrier and drive onto the bridge, then accelerate and fly over a small piece of the destroyed bridge and then drive to Asuka and finish the mission

I passed the second way

Nice one! I was thinking about the 2nd approach but was thinking it wouldnt fit passed the barriers! Gonna give it a go! 

 

Edit: downloaded the dodo flying physics mod by DimZet and dragged a single file from it into the CLEO folder in gta 3, i now have my liberty city pilots licence!!

Finally finished the mod. I liked it very much, I'm sure that's how GTA 3 looked from the beginning, it's just that Rockstar decided to simplify the missions before the release. The mod is not that complicated actually, it all depends on directness and a little luck. I especially liked the mission "Espresso 2-Go" - it's both perfect and terrible at the same time, Rob is a genius. I would add the "Smiling Claude For PC" skin from hakimplay to those skins that already exist - it would be very suitable, as if Claude had gone crazy with complexity

 

I noticed one bug: In the mission "Toyminator 2: Judgment Day" for a red phone, if you lose the last RC car, then after 0 it will become -1 and the mission will continue. https://ibb.co/6Df4dft

 

UPD: I forgot to mention one more bug - the skull of the "Wasted Opportunity" skin, in the cutscene for some reason is replaced by the standard head of Claude.

Great work to extended the RadioStation in GTA 3 with LCS RadioStation great job doing it man. I like it. But in some cases i think that in some moment they are some songs not from LCS i mean custum self made or put in.

A couple of fixes, a couple of nice tweaks and even a little variety this time around!

 

V1.75

 

Changelog:

Spoiler

- Fixed limo in 'Waka Gashira' so that it correctly spawns inside the car part rather than miles above...
- Joey, Luigi and Toni will now jog to the limo in 'SCAM'... nobody likes slow unskippable cutscenes!
- Removed the possibility of failing 'Van Heist' if you were to lose the cops while parked inside the garage.
- Fixed a possible crash during 'Paparazzi Purge', if you were to destroy the boat at the "right" moment.
- Fixed a possible soflock during 'Spaced Ghost, Coast To Coast' if Maria bumped her head into Chico's doorway.
- Given a touch more colour variety to Mafia Sentinels.
