Because hackman releases a tool, and people only care about one category of his tools....the VCS ones. xD
And this one is not in that category.

[HackMan128]

Animation with texture 2048x2048 compressed with DXT1

[Ash_735]

You could always join the team if you want the tools that badly.

[Link2012]

Hm, can anyone show me where R* used this in San Andreas world?

[HackMan128]

Go to Las Venturas at night and You will see .

[Ash_735]

Surprised by the lack of talk on this, it's a nice extra detail to add atmosphere to the game.

[Triple Penetration]

Considering how many serious RW mods are left (and by serious I mean on VCStoPC or Gostown scale), I am not even surprised that there's lack of talk.

Tools subforum doesn't even have that many frequent topics/posts too.

True, I remember doing this in my old SA modding days, with 3ds max scripts.

You have to agree this comes a little late after the game has been out for 7\8 years, it's not surprising not much people care.

[HackMan128]

Yes, but I was stupid kid, that can't create anything. When age is around 20, brain works much better, but now is too late .

[xXaerooff2Xx]

I don't understand you people. Why do you want these VCS tools that so much?! Team don't have to share them, because they were made by their own (I know, I know - by HackMan128) and evrybody from team already said - It won't be released. So they don't need to share it with people, where most of them will convert some buildings / peds or anything else and call it "by -put here your name-". And I think I know reason of that - convertment to Super Powerful Best Advanced Profesional Great Awesome RAGE Engine. If you want to convert something from VCS, do a tool by your own. If I remember good, "IVSA" also used ® ™ tools, and almost none of them were shared.

Anyway, great thing HackMan !

Oh well, guess we'll have to find a way to use it on VCS PC, shame to let it go to waste.

[ludi911]

this is awesome i like that you made nice easy interface for the tool, and the TV in first VCS safehouse would be a nice extra feature (with fake METV music video)

[Midnightz]

LOVE you for this tool.

[SkylineGTRFreak]

Sounds interesting... But does work on Vehicles I suppose?
