I forgot to mention, I checked out Asuka (in the Grand Theft Aero mission) and she looks good. Good work, silver.

I think is the last luigi update. If is not, anyone can import and exports the model just how it is, and i will get fixed, i tried before.

I haven't seen a download for Donald Love yet. Have you, Thomas?

If he has, it anit mine.....

but for example purposes

Here are the 2 Columbians and the tracksuit Donald Love

i will stress that all 3 are glitched and are not ment to be included with LC as of yet

like i said, Donald is severaly glitched even though ive boned him just like every other model ive tested....
the Columbians dont hold their M1s right and may be glitched in other places

but atleast these are a start for anyone else who wants to work on them, i currently do not have GTA:LC installed due to a mod im doing which i need VC installed for, once its finished (only one bug to fix) i will re-install LC and try to fix these peds and work on more

Are you low on HD space (so that you can only have one VC copy at any time)?

thanks to me not being PC literate, and my mother being the one who ordered this PC, we have 18.5GB of space, which is down to about a little over 1GB right now, with my GTA modding, and music, and programs installed, and my mother and sister with their music and stuff... our space is down to mininum, i constantly have to back up files to free up space...

VC inst even installed on my main drive, i received a 3GB drive from my school because we were disasembling older computers to be given away, and some computers were unusable for one reason or another so they had extra drives laying around, VC is installed on that drive... pain in the ass i know but not much i can do at this moment, the only other drive in the house would be the one i have in the PC in my room, 500 megabytes of disk space... a CD can hold more than it..

but like i said im almost done..

[Craig Kostelecky]

Funny. My main LC folder (I also have 2 backup folders) is 3.92 GB. That's one of the reasons I have over 400 GB of HD space.

By the way, I tried plugging in your new peds into my image, and I get a crash with all of them now.

[--Cole--]

Hey Silver, good to see you back. By the way, a good alternative option for disk space is to get an external hard drive, as I did. It's just as fast as a regular drive and holds more than I'll ever need (80GB), including 7 or 8 different modded copies of VC, (MTA, VC, LC, LN, Myriad, etc..) and some 90-odd hours of music. It cost me $110 online, it came in a week, and best of all, I can use it on any computer, (especially ones that aren't even mine!) Its a good option, you should look into it, especially in your dire situation. (my reasons were more convenience, rather than neccesity.)

[Craig Kostelecky]

Has there been any updates here lately? I haven't seen anything new since silver's last contribution. By the way, I don't think I ever said this, but some of the files in silver's last update were the GTA3 files and not the VC/LC ones. Could you please resend the correct files for me silver (the two Colombians and Donald Love in the tracksuit)

[ModelingMan]

It'd be great if it were possible to just simply transfer the models and animations from III to LC, I'm not saying it isn't possible but still, it would save alot of time and would look perfect.

(Maybe something to add to my "things to hack" list).

[Ben]

That would be great - perhaps then it'd even be possible to get the actors mouths to move during the cutscenes. Although I'd assume it'll be a lot of work (to hack, I mean).

Good luck with it when you get around to it though

[GTAThomas]

@craig, dec 29: nope. (gah!)

That would be a cool and easy way to transfer peds. i have had these files sitting around on my HDD, a novy.dff and a novy.txd and a novy.bmp. If you dont know who novy is then look on Ka-BOOM's webpage. but i can summerize. novy is presumed to be rockstars greatest secret about gta3, we know less about him than we do darkel, another gta3 mystery. KB (ka-Boom) found a novy.txd and novy.dff in the gta3 img file. but when trying to replace the player.dff and txd files with the novy ones. they crashed the game. so she loaded the dff file into a dff viewer and found it looked like a legoman. the head, body, everything was cubes and rectangle. if the dff where files with LOD attached to them. why would a charactor need an lod, they never have before?!? so she deleted Every lod file in the dff, then the result was this mysterius. novy, a blue t-shirt and blue pant wearing kind of boy band looking guy. he was extremely detailed. well i cant use him as my player model in LC because LC cant use the gta3 dffs for some reason. probably the fact that gta3 didnt use bones, but rather a bunch of objects put togeather, head, body, limbs... and vice city uses bones. if anybody wants to have a go at converting Novy then go to ka-booms site. located in her page here. or just Pm me and ill find a file hoster to put them on. really cool person. Novy (might be a typo for navy because of his navy blue outfit). all this commotion and he could have just been a ped that r* had to cut out to do the Ped limit in gta3.

[Konstantinos]

To spare you the agony of looking through 2058 pages of members list, here's the link.
Very interesting. If I had GTA3, I would test it right away. Yeah, it would be cool if he got converted.
On a side note, I can't help myself but put a little rant up here. On her site, KB says that "he looks cooler than Justin Timberlake". Well, I hope that's a joke. A boil on my a** looks cooler than Justin Timberlake, in addition to being smarter and more talented. Sorry for that, I couldn't help it.

[Ben]

According to the first post, Claude is final, but he isn't really...

AK-73 has converted his animations from Tommy's default VC ones into the GTA3 ones. I'm expecting to hear something about it soon (whenever he's next online). I haven't seen any of it in-game yet, but I expect it will be good .

@AK-73 - Here, I bumped it for you !

[Bebop]

The Claude i did was close to perfection. It worked well with Vc anims.

[Ben]

AK-73 said that he got the GTA3 animations - different sprint style, and slightly different body type, etc., into LC, and tweaked the Claude model slightly.

He tried to post a new topic, but I didn't approve it because it belongs here, but I PM'ed him and suggested he re-post it here - he hasn't been online since he tried to post the topic .

I think the current Claude is really good, but if we can get the original GTA3 animations for him, that'd be even better . But we'll have to see what AK-73 has come up with first .

[Ben]

I've just heard back from AK-73 - he's going to send me the modified ped.ifp file soon.

Craig, I'll forward it on to you as well so you can check it out in-game.

Hi everyone!

I'd like to clarify: what I did was to import both GTA3 Claude and GTALC Claude, then I applied the respective run_player (sprint_civi) animations to both versions, set both models to see-through and started to rotate the bones/move the root bone in order to align the LC skin fairly congruent to the GTA3 Claude. I did that because I didn't like the original GTAVC running/sprinting animations on Claude with their "twitching shoulders". But I did *not* change any model whatsoever.

It's perhaps not perfect but it looks and feels a lot like GTA3.

[Konstantinos]

I've tested the ped.ifp file. Can't say if it looks more like GTA3 as I haven't played that , but it definitely needs some tweaking. As it is now, Claude's arms wiggle in a terrible way when running (not sprinting) with bare hands / grenades. And the baseball bat even disappears into his body.

I'll check out the baseball bat. I didn't notice the arms wriggle in a terrible way however so far. The first version I sent to ben had a "bug" in the right arm however, which I fixed in the second version I sent him. Also LC:Claude is taller than GTA3:Claude which I didn't take into account while aligning the shoulders so far.

Another thing is that ben had asked me about the f*cku animation and if it was possible to get that into LC. Has anyone worked on that yet? Any thoughts on that issue?
