VC-Xbox Map

[Ethmods]

 

Xbox Map to PC
The Xbox version contains lightmaps into to the models in big part of map. Although it does not become as noticeable as in GTAIII, it gives Vice City a better look. The map was completely converted, being more complete than the version of The Hero (aap)

Update:

• The base version of the mod has been updated and is now completely stable for now (link updated).

• Fixes_Xbox_Map has been added for download. I have not yet implemented all the fixes from its previous version as I am recreating them from scratch without breaking the UVs of the textures or anything. It will gradually be updated with more fixes.

Upcoming update with fixes for models that were causing the game to crash, along with additional adjustments. I will also provide optional additions for the map, separate from Fixes_Xbox_Map. Here is a preview.

Update:

• Base mod updated with fewer issues and some corrupted models were modified. Missing textures from the original Xbox version were also added.
• New fixes and improvements added in Fixes_Xbox_Map, along with a few extra additions.

For now, the mod will not be updated until many more corrections are made.

Please fix this bug. If you run along the edge of the door, you can enter the ghostly world. That is, switching to a normal map does not work. Please increase the firing radius.

[kostyan]

Please remove the passage to Rosenberg altogether, it is useless since we cannot get into his office. Remove this passageway at the model level and close it with a door. Redo the Harrison Hotel as pictured. And you can just add a separate addition to the bushes near the police station (that is, remove them from the "addons").

Well, that problem occurs when going out through the sides on the walls.

 

It will be fixed in the next update.

I will think carefully about the bushes because, in my opinion, they add a bit of life to the police station since it doesn’t come with much vegetation around.

 

In the next update, I will add the details you mentioned to the Harrison Hotel, and I will correct the door's position so it makes sense and allows the player to enter the office properly.

Remember that the addons aim to fill empty spaces in the map, and in the next update, there will be a few more. They also use the original VC aesthetics and not those from VCS.

 

Thank you for reporting the issues.

Fixing the roof no longer works;[Please, we deserve, after all these years, to fix the passage inside the Police Station to nowhere (close it). Plus, there is an office inside that is not visible, because of the texture of the glass. Pull out these bushes in the photo from the "addons" and add the ability to add them just as desired. By the way, you can arrange them randomly, it will look much better.

Thank you for your effort on the mod! Just to report, I've found these two issues, this building is missing some textures and that road has some strange lines, some roads have them but are smaller I guess? Nonetheless, thanks again.

I've been dying for something like this for years. The last time someone implemented an fix to the Xbox map, the download link went down.

Thank you for this.

¡Gracias por tu esfuerzo en el mod! Solo para informar, encontré estos dos problemas: a este edificio le faltan algunas texturas y esa carretera tiene algunas líneas extrañas. Algunas carreteras las tienen, pero supongo que son más pequeñas. De todos modos, gracias nuevamente.

 

I will be working on it for the next update.

Hace años que me muero de ganas de algo así. La última vez que alguien implementó una solución para el mapa de Xbox, el enlace de descarga dejó de funcionar.

Gracias por esto.

The link still works; you can also find it on Discord or other pages.

I was talking about this thread from Gari1992.
