[GT-1]

Its got around to that time again already, a newer more up to date version has been released. I know I said this last time but I severely doubt this will be updated anytime soon, I don’t have much time to spend fixing lots and getting the package reading anymore that’s why this one has taken a while to be released.
But anyway it seems to work as well as the 0.2 package did but I have noticed one little problem that I have no been able to iron out. Coming back across sAdIsTiCmAcHiNe's bridge towards illcom the game crashes. If you drive around the city before hand and then try it, for me I get no problems it seems to be if you try it first time. Have yet to figure out the problem, its probably a LOD far in the distance and something to that effect.
No new pictures of the updates as I haven’t had time to get any, but I’m sure you will enjoy the new lots if you haven’t seen them yet. Sorry for the ever increasing size of the pack, but with more lots added whatdya expect?
Also sorry for any problems that were caused with the lsat one, however after testing this it appears to work fine now.


Last Note: If you have problems with the package, try increasing the streaming memory and the dummys and buildings, hopefully it should all work fine then. Feel free to post any feedback whether good or bad but please try to be constructive.[/center]

Okeee, the preview version you gave me was runnin smooth as silk, even with
all the unstable lots installed - no crashes at all. This version has some great
new lots compared to the 0.2 and also the mission script update is included.

So I suggest checkin it out .

Nice work, btw G.

[Pagnell]

Yeah, nice work. A chance for the lazy amongst us to see all the new stuff.

Downloading now, I'll set up a torrent for it in the morning.

[caponester]

Awesome work!

Only thing is you left out the lod for Illcom_c1_r2 in the IPL file, a simple fix though.

Great work compiling it all though

Sorry but, i think i have found an error GT-1.....
When you have the radio channel Flash FM on in a couple of minutes, there comes an Unhandled Exception.
It says:

Unhandled Exception: c0000005
At Address: 0040c314

Hope you can fix this problem

Weird... I tested this and listened to Flash FM all night and didn't have any crashes...

[GT-1]

I have not changed anything at all regarding radio stations, so im unsure as to what the problem could be. I don't really see how this could conflict with the radio however if it is reported by a few people maybe I iwll look into it further.

Sorry Caponester, when I was re-doing the ipl and ide files I must have forgot to put that back in. It's not a major issue I guess though, but thanks for mentioning it.

I've found one more error:

You can go thru at the end of this wall, in Opius' Plaza:


Isn't the map a little too bright??

[Pagnell]

Ok first of all that is nothing to do with Gt-1, that is a collision file error which is the responsibility of the lots author, Opius.

Secondly I agree that the radar screen is too bright, The alpha mask for it is too bright, making it appear almost unreadable ingame.

Fixed Hud

This Is the hud I have ingame currently, I think it's from Mikes myriad mission script mod, but at least the radar disc is good inside

[Vercetti Gangsta]

Thanks for the Hud File Caponester.

Again, I'm not a modeler (at all) but you should never ever use the same textures for the floor, walls and ceiling because it makes a room look like some infinite void. I leared that when I was creating worlds in "duke nukem". Some very small differences in those textures would make a world of difference. And I would like it darker. Contrasts makes it look real pro, like totally dark areas where you can't see a thing and areas lit up. I guess this would be impossible in Myriad with the current pre-lighting and other light settings. A dream place would be a place set up with water dripping from the ceiling with scripted sound effects for each drop of water and blinking lights. Like some bombed up car parking garage in Doom 2 or 3.

[GT-1]

Like Caponester saidit upto the lot author to fix such problems, I actually got the Opie Plaza stable, or that how it seems to me so it shouldn't cause much/if any trouble.

i see you still havent used my smaller vehicle .txd's...

and all i can say about this is "bleep"

streaming memory = 255mb
dummy's = 10000
Buildings = 100000

my verdict.. congratulations, you have won most unstable mod... EVER:



and why do i give you this? becuase of all the times i have warned you what to do and how to do it youv done jack sh*t and just ignored me and otherrs that have suggested it to.. MI needs alot of work and uv left it too late to take any action tbh... continue in anyway yu feel becuase i certainly wont be downloading it again as it will be the same as it has always been... un-reliable

a few things why this mod crashes this much:

- massivly oversized .txd files
- polyraped lots
- massivly oversized colfiles (main cause i think)
- lack of lods...

this is only a small list, but theres hell of alot of stuff you can do to make MI run smoother, i have warned u before aswell as others and u take no notice...

I'm just glad somebody cares. Would it be possible to fix all that with some fancy automated tool ?

"Texture reducer v0.1 alpha".

[caponester]

I honestly have to contain myself after reading that post Monitor, that was shockingly misinformed.

Firslty Myriads Txd files have been reduced, Spaceeinsteen has compressed all buildings, base land and radar textures, while you have compressed all vehicles up until december I believe.

This release features only lots with Lods, not Lodless lots to be found here I am afraid.

The Poly whoring idea is over rated, Most of Myriad buildings are suprisingly low poly, with the exception of 1 or 2.

to many ppl's standard.... im a low poly freak so wen i look at wireframes in Moomapper of normal creations i tend to think "omagod.."

but i spose ur right, but not abt the colfiles.. the only way i have managed to get a normal vc install to crash as much as mi is to contain some large colfiles.. then it starts to crash randomly... like mi <-- that might be a big problem..

and abt the .txd files.. i wasnt on about compressed textures i was on about the size of the txd file itself.. iv found over 1mb txd files, now for such a mod with loads of other problems this put immense stress on the game loading up this particulour file..

and the hasnt included my compressed vehicle txd files.. cos i looked just now and it still uses the normal txd files..

and i would of thought by now someone would have fixed the wheels.dff (axis misplacement, puts wheels too far into the arches)

about the lods, i know this has never been done but the standard mi base land is quite high poly in itself.. so all of the spare lots without lod might be another reason why it crashes... just a thought.

@Monitor

The current Myriad install is almost crash free, When was the last time in all truthfullness you played Myriad Islands?
