Thought I'd spread the word about my mod which is now released.

The mod is an extensive attempt to significantly enhance the appeal, lifetime and overall gameplay of GTA: San Andreas, through a unique blend of fixes, tweaks, enhancements and additions coupled with restoration of things that are not normally in the game. A mod which is truly greater than the sum of its parts and the nearest thing you are likely to get to an expansion pack or sequel!

What the mod does;-

• Fixes a number of bugs, niggles and issues in the game
• Extends the storyline with removed missions, cellphone calls and more
• Enhances stats with over a dozen new ones
• Adds numerous new features and side missions to the game
• And a whole lot more!

[DeeZire]

Kind of, there are all kinds of bits left in the game files, but mostly I recreated everything from scratch.

[san angelo]

definatly want to see screenshots, but GTAGarage has a problem with that. definatly interested in this mod.

[pgtipsp]

[CthulhuFhtagn]

Here are some tips -
Make that VCS golf game
Put Beta Smoke and Sweet in

[pgtipsp]

how far have you got with this? its a looong list of details - what sort of percent is complete?

[Drunk Russian 9]

This would go nicely along with ped texture updates . . . my eyes hurt after staring at those distorted pixels for so long.

Volume I is 90% complete, hence the final BETA, I just need to finish 'The Truth Is Out There' and 'Doberman' missions.

Has anyone noticed that in that picture the car "graphics" looks like it was from VC.

[Spider-Vice]

Beta, man...

[Daan17]

I haven't seen this in changes list. Could You add cop's ability to catch back of your car as in Reuniting the Families mission? Could You make spawnable "changed" Fbi Truck because its model is in game but not used.

I have something that could inspire You. The video that shows SA beta: in this video

If You can add some of the changes to SA from this video it would be cool!

[DeeZire]

I'm not trying to recreate the BETA, I'm enhancing the game. That YouTube video makes a LOT of assumptions that are simply not true.

Some of the things in the mod are already in the game files, you just never get to see them - the FBI Truck for example is in the mod as it featured in 'The Truth Is Out There' mission.

I installed all right and this Crashes MY Game!!!!
I'm a familiar mod installer.. (like you said on Readme)
The crash says: Memory can't be "read" 0xsomethinghsd***** and 0x*******

[SkirmisH]

Yeh, man, the part with Cesar and CJ. In the S.A. GXT there's CESAR2: that haven't be used and I think that this folder is from the part of the youtube, because a i have fond "~z~Easy, angel, man don't find love, love finds man, eh chico. " like in the vid and so others things like SMOKE3 that half of them are not used, I have try to make CJ fat or more gangster, but nothing change still that mission remains, and there are more, CRASH2, DSERT12, DSERT5, ZERO3, some of the missions with Jizzy B. - in some conversations Jizzy B. supose to be with CJ in the misions. Realy man I can't wait with this mod.

The fourth BETA is what's available for download right now. Crash issues have been resolved through the first three BETAs.

99.9% of crashes have been found to be caused by one or more of the following problems;-

1 - the mod has been designed, built and tested on an original copy of V1.0 (original release) GTA: San Andreas - it will not work on other versions (unless you downgrade properly), and wont work on warez/pirated copies

2 - the mod wont work on no-cd patch EXEs - it must be run from the original DVD via the original unmodified EXE

3 - the mod wont work in conjunction with any other mods - if you try to install it alongside any others, even custom cars, you WILL get issues - the mod is a standalone

4 - installation errors - the mod may have been installed wrongly, and remember your IMG archives must be rebuilt if your IMG editor requires it. Binary IPL files to be placed in GTA3.IMG are a good example, only IMG Tool 2.0 worked for me when adding/replacing them

5 - if you still get problems, use the original stream.ini file instead of the mods version

Thanks!

I realize just now that I never posted over @ GTAG to tell you how much I love this mod. You've spend a HUGE amount of time on this, and your skills are nothing short of exceptional.
Just look at the wall of text that consists of dozens of features nobody would've ever dreamed of seeing in-game...
