Yep, Myriad is far from dead. I bet that GTi has a Mission coder, and I bet there's heaps of people there that could really help us out at this time. Directed @ GTi Members Bring as many GTi members over here, we need all the help we can get

I have been bussy for maybe about an hour now to get in contact with all the active GTI members at the moment for now i sended the most imporant persons of GTI an PM and im hoping they will respond to me. And since most moddelers of GTI were waiting for some stuff to pop up and hear about what happend to gti they never had watched what happend here. So i will make here a topic for the GTI members to respond to and i hope they do.

We just need him to give us what he's done, then we'll be fine.

Pre-lighting isnt needed at the moment you just need to use the COLFILE editor II lightning standard for the colfiles and then everything will look alright and not much different from the original lighting of SA.

NO. If there was all so simply...
Col2/3-file Light answers for brightness of object which is taking place on it (CJ, for example).

[Gforce]

YES!! this project is merely going through a slow transitional period thats all.

i have almost all of the northern half of illcom converted so far and some sections of the southern half.

i will upload an installer for you guy's in the next week or so, along with some other stuff you will need.

The overall time that this project now exists is about 3 or maybe 4 years. And i really hope this mod will have an future if the members who are still believing in it just kept on modding and help converting the vice city files to san andreas the mod will get an future, the public is now just missing the lots that were in vice city. And maybe i can make a change to by developping/releasing an dev-release of the max files with the new coordinates and with Grand Tani Islands included but thats just a plan. So what does the public think about this question. PS: try to advertise this mod like it was when it was released at first for vice city maybe we can get the attention of the public back and get back the positive reactions back.

in 3 or 4 years other, bigger conversions are practically finished. with more or less people doing it. just look ant mine. we have less than 10 people doing it, but we've done loads. this entire mod is doomed to fail.

[GT-1]

I'm not going to get into a war about mods, but the SOL mod has a completely different aim to the Myriad project. I was going to download the SOL mod since it got put up on GTAG, but one thing that swayed me away was the repetitiveness of it. True, its good to see that a game can handle 2/3+ cities thats what makes the mod "special", but most people who I’ve spoke to about that mod said the same thing. Quite a bit of it has been recycled from GTA3/VC and then re-presented in a different way.

Myriad is a scratch made project, your project has some scratch elements, and quite a few of them haven't been created specifically for that mod (LazioFreak's work etc.). I know DS and Mc-Kay have done some scratch work, but still its a completely different mod. Still, its nice to see some arrogant member spouting on about a mod he doesn’t know anything about, thanks.

Good luck getting back on track with the Myriad project.

You can't compare it like that. See, you started in march last year. You didn't had to struggle with all the mission coding, mapping and other problems that occured with the changes in the vice engine, did you? Many things were done before you started. Do you use custom player models? Do you use a custom hud?
You have the luck of beeing able to build upon things others had to find out first, that's why it's a bit unfair how you speak about myriad.

And the rest GT-1 said...

Oh, thanks gforce! I'm on holidays now, so we can finally get back on track!

Off Topic: In Driver Parallel lines (2006 mode) there's a brand in the garages called "GForce". Methinks you better sue!

@The Mothership Ooooo, I guess it's really hard to convert LC into VC when it's been done about 3 thousand times.. You've got no idea how hard it is to have to re-learn everything when a new game comes out with no help from the developer. Vice has been out for 4 years, and even then, it's sh*t easy to modify comparing to the ways of SanAn.

Take your arrogant crap away from here, thanks.

God I hate people like you, you think you are hot sh*t, and all your work is astounding, ground breaking stuff and everything else is runner up rubbish. Well I've got news for you pal, you have advantages that we didn't. You didn't have to start from nothing, and figure out how to do everything yourself, how to remove Vice, how to successfully add a new city, design new islands and split up the lots. Most of what you have is just converting old GTA games into SA, well the LC team did that with Vice, you can just take what they learned and apply it.

And before you come in here with your 'this mod is dead' crap, take a look around you, Cerb and I have put alot of hard work into the trains and it is showing, we have a lot of new work coming out of locO G and AleXXX and a lot of others, I am working hard on all my lots and island as well. Just because you don't see renders of half assed stuff everyday doesn't mean the work isn't there. So take your crap and get out.

News for you Jason: They're using Vice.

[JasonB]

Oh, right, well - my point still stands

[Mark]

If they're using vice I'd say that SOL is more likely dead than MI. At least MI is adapting itself to a new version, which of course takes time and effort, as everything has to be relearnt. SA has far more many advantages over Vice too.

[aad]

Hmm Jasonb just keep your rest and dont try to flame at them since they never experienced and achieved what us people did

[Knife]

There is no need for you to start fighting over which one of your mods is better. They are both good for different reasons. And as this is the MI forum, you should only be discussing Myriad.

Well, what do you expect when someone comes rolling in, gloating about their mod?

Well hopefully he's gone back to where he belongs now...

That you make isn't comparable to ours TC project. We've a lot of CREATIVE and INNOVATIONS. MI - best project ever created for VC (soon for SA). You say, that we've made one small island (though it not so!) and in your project (SOL) there're more islands. I don't doubt what to collect models from 3/VC and other already released mods difficultly, but agree - to make new models itself much more difficultly.
MI is alive, lived and will live. Anybody or anything will not prevent this.

[The Mothership]

meh, i'm not fighting. for the record, we arn't using the VC exe/engine. ours is modifyed, similar to LCS.


you know, in the next five years, you might have a storyline.


EDIT:

give me a list of "innovations", i didn't know a few empty blocks of land is an "innovation"
