Well, since that the islands are in their final spots, and we're getting settled into SA, we need to get something done with paths and mission scripts. Knife has left, but who did paths before?

Duicuss.

[aad]

The mission scripts from vice city can be converted to sa but it do needs a lot of changes to get it working maybe we need to contact barton again and see if he can start working on it again

[Black-hawk]

I'm not even sure that there's a working path editor at this moment.

[steve-m]

No there isn't, but I'm currently working on a solution to that, mainly with Myriad in mind.

Great, I'm getting pissed off being sideswiped by policecars outta nowhere

Oh great! Good to know we'll have a decent editor soon..

@GTAuron atleast you don't have cars driving accross your lot

[aad]

I may convert the GTI racing missions as soon as i got some time its only moving the coordinates to their final places.

Nah, not a decent editor, I really don't have time for that and I thought other people were working on it? I'm decoding the remaining unknown sections in the node files and will make only a small tool for quick and easy path export from Max, although somewhat limited.

@GTAuron: Try this to get rid of the paths.

[chickenplucker]

I've tried a couple of times to get that .oooo1v or whatever version of a path editor for SA to work but with no luck. If we had an editor like the one for VC I would gladly do the paths for the mod. I'm pretty much ticked of at mapping SA, so I'll try to do other stuff to help out.

[Mark]

I'm happy to do em too lol.

Hmph, in fact I'm just getting into mission scripting, if nobody else with any experience is around to do so, I could make a basic mission script to just place random cars and useful pickups about the place if ya want, and take a look at the mission data required for the other lots that ain't in game etc. Don't mean I'm about to go programming missions, my knowledge is very basic.

I too, I can place some vehicles and weapons.

[Black-hawk]

Can't vehicles also be placed via ipl and whatnot? Or did I crawl out of my cave a bit too late?

[Mark]

not a clue. I just use the .scm lol.

[mickarrow]

I believe that in SA cars are (also?) placed through streaming ipl's. There's a topic about it in Editing Discussion. Don't know if they can be edited though...

Cars can Also be added trough IPL files in the data map but they wont work right with missions since in missions you need a car number and IPL generated cars are random so only cars used in missions need to be coded in misisons. And maybe some small update for now i will now do an attemp on converting the race missions in SA. And dont expect much work from me this week got some bad news to my grandpa just has died in hospital

[Cerbera]

Sorry to hear that, aad.

I made the first paths for illCOM. Illspirit then neatened up the linking method and I continued them in that style for all the roads which existed at the time. I think I did ped paths around the four lane freeway, but someone else did all the other ped paths and probably tidied the car paths some more.

Much later on, I made some boat paths. I think these have since been refined and added to. This was all for GTAVC, using PlayerPos and Notepad.

I don't know of any usable paths editor for GTASA because the SA paths system is more complicated and uses a binary format, so you can't even attempt them in Notepad.

An export script might be the most practical way to do it, so good luck Steve!

[steve-m]

Some test paths (peds only):



Still much to do before I get car paths working, though...

[locO G]

This is monumental news, steve-m. Without this, any TC mod for GTA-SA would be dead in the water.

If it could be done, you'd be the one to crack it.

Well done sir, you've made someone with three and a half dead PC's on his hands very happy for the first time all day.

Mmm, looking good! Those SA road textures look pretty good, too!
