SA WIP Grand Theft Auto: Stars And Stripes

[youngq209]

Could you please reupload the multiplayer client files? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

[AlexandriaAT2001]

If you guys ever do a something like a border dlc where you add a storyline taking place between Liberty State and Ontario (it would probably revolve around smuggling guns for criminals in Canada or something like that,) I'd happily create a 3D Era-style supercondensed map of Ontario (or even just the Greater Toronto Area + Hamilton + Niagara Falls. Hamilton's spoof could be a mix of itself, London, Ontario and Windsor, Ontario and be located right across the lake from Carcer City.) and list the locations of the real-world buildings that could be used. I would also be up for creating the radio station tracklists for the area. Not sure how much I could do with Canadian radio stations for a mod set in 1993, but I can come up with something that would represent the Canadian portion of the tracklists. (I just checked some S&S radio lists and there's a Backstreet Boys song from 1999, so maybe the rules are different for the radio somehow?)

 

Also what's the reason for including GTA 3's Liberty City in a mod set in 1993, which canonically should use LCS's Liberty City (unless the setting year was changed or some rule was lifted allowing songs from after 1993?)

2D map or 3D map? Years ago I was working on some GTA New Brunswick thing but that went nowhere. Canada’s pretty country when you look beyond the immediate border area

2D with labels and whoever is interested in 3D modeling without burnout could do the rest. 3D modeling burns me out when it gets as complex as modeling balconies and rooftop objects on office buildings that are supposed to match real life dimensions but I can't find exact blueprints anywhere. If it's a 3D map with the general shapes and heights of buildings, I'd be able to do that. I know this is the 3D universe... where everything is less detailed than in the hd universe. It depends on the level of detail.

 

This map would likely be half city or town/half country, if not more city or town than country.

The Timeline won't be Respected in this mod, also Liberty City here is a combination between the one from LCS and the one from III

Are you guys accepting 2D artists? I have experience with digital drawing, and can draw simple things like vehicles and people.

Working on Bullworth and map redesign

I would love to see the magnolia projects, the caliope and the melph projects in cottonmouth full of 90s thugs, drug dealers, hoochies twerking on N.O. bounce music all that pre katrina sh*t back when it had the murder capital title

And safehouses, hotel suites..

edit) nevermind i didn't even realize it was in still.

i got the new update from discord but can i use rzl trainer instead of grinch trainer?

Edited February 7 by kaycred
i spoke too soon.

[universetwisters]

I know I’m probably in the minority here but I don’t see why you don’t release (or expand) on some of the standalone cities you made for the mod.

 

Even though I don’t agree with it, I get that rockstar can say “you’re porting our games to another one we’re shutting you down”, but they have zero legal grounds to do that for a fully original city like frostwater for example

[alex66]

Stop being such a two-bit submissive to Take-Two, damn it! Now, this is a 25-year-old game. Plus, it's a mod that doesn't require any hacking, so legally, it's a bluff. If you don't live in the US, it's worthless. So keep modding and stop being such a submissive.

[CoomerGamer]

Please help, Im running version 1.5.1. I try to launch a new game but I just get a loading screen and then black screen with the word "Downtown" in the bottom right corner of the screen

 

also is there controller support?? I tried to install GInput both in root directory and via adding modloader manually but no dice. Please help

Modloader support is not here. Remove modloader.
As for Controller support, probably No. Because of actions in the game have Controller Support, some don't. so it's not 100% support.

As for your crash, can you drop your crash.log of FLA92?

Wow thanks so much I thought I wouldnt get help with this.

Man, thats not nice. No Controller support? Not any possibly to add it either. I wish we can get this in the future. but okay fine. I removed modloader and ginput as you mentioned.

As for you requesting my crashlog, my game doesnt even get that far to where I can generate one. After the blackscreen game just crashes to desktop without generating any report, So I dont think its a LimitAdjuster crash. Maybe something else? Here is more information that might help :

1 ) I am using "San Andreas version v1.0.0.22" Is this version okay? or do you think its better to get an earlier version/use a downgrader?

2 ) I am trying to launch it using the "gta_ss.exe" and not the "gta_sa.exe". I hope I am using the right way, there isnt a instructions or readme that covers basic setup that I could find.

3 ) I am running windows 11 OS, and I tried to make the game more compatible by 'disabling fullscreen optimizations' on the .exe properties, as well as giving admin rights and trying to run in both windows xp/windows 7 compatibility mode and the same thing happens. Even when I disable those options and leave everything at default, I get the same issues/nothing changes.

any tips or help you can give I will really appreciate. I just redid a completely fresh install with nothing added besides the 1.5.1 patch provided in the official discord and the radio patches 1&2 and still its the same issue

sh*t!!!
I was hoping atleast S&S would not be affected...
Dawn Rockstar and TakeTwo!

This

If I get what I read on the discord perfectly straight, a fan project consisting of 90% from-scratch made maps is outright killing their project without ever yet being contacted by take-two because they're scared there's an angstrom of chance take two might go after them?

Have they been following the news at all, or the mod scene? This sort of "take two takedown" almost exclusively happens to mods that blatantly rip assets. Blaming this random shutdown on le bad take two paranoia almost sounds like an excuse.

 

But what do I know, GTA fans cannot finish a project for the life of them.

Umm  I mean  people who still wanted to continue the project are dveloping the mod by using a different name "project eagle"

All I know is that they’re doing a GTA Carcer City thing but for some reason are doing it for the Vice City engine

On 1.5.1 its always randomly crashing. Its always some random files and I get my crash info through fastman92's limit adjuster

Hey, how would I find this? Is there a discord server or something? Thanks.

And thanks for bringing us Stars and Stripes. 

[LMK777]

So it was shut down due to... paranoia?
It sounds like Take-Two hasn't sent a cease and desist, or even talked to them and told them to stop. They just randomly think that it might happen soon... maybe?
Even though there's been YouTube videos promoting the mod for over a year. and Take-Two hasn't done anything so far.

[Officer Ronson]

Disbanding this doesn't make a lick of sense considering most of the assets used were self-made, and even then, GTA Underground got shut down a little while before the Definitive Edition, so in a sense, I don't think T2 would pursue a cease & desist after the whole fiasco that was the Definitive Edition.

I am just saing, what Dany tolld me.

[RedBaron.]

I remember that Danny back then, said moddb link was shutdown, and eventually so was google drive as well, so he and the team decided to shut the project down to avoid a future lawsuit. (Source: I used to be an moderator for the discord server, which is why i know this)
