Question: Are you still using that horribly bloated installer? I downloaded the mod about half a year ago and the file size was far too big for a map mod of it's size. Could you upload a version that only had the wdr+wtd+wbn+wnd+ide+wpl files? Without the unnecessary inclusion of a whole IV map img file that needlessly upps the MB.

Hbx84 is responsible with the installer and I don't know when Hbx is coming back. He already had an examination and he's not on-line on facebook for a month now!

I don't know how the malware came onto hbx84's website?

It suppose to be big, we are not the one who has the biggest size of this mod. It's 400MB+ and it's not that huge!
Check out the snow mod, that mod size has over 2GB!

I know that total texture replacement mods use a lot of memory, they are hundreds/thousands of textures so naturally they're going to be large.
I didn't say that this mod is too big relative to all mods in general, i said that this mod's download is too large relative to the fact that it's just a bunch of buildings and that the download distributes needless files resulting in the download being unnecessarily large.

I know how modding works, the way you replied sounds like you don't realise that.

Sorry for the recent reply

Well, I'm not responsible with the installation...

Back in 2010 to 2011, Hbx made some few bugs and there were some changes in Manhatten folder ( Manhat 1 and 2 IMAGES & OTHERS). There are some changes and addons on Manhattan IMAGES and they are included in the WTC installation. If you just put WTC map folder without Manhat file, it will not respond or crash to desktop and on Lower Manhattan road, it may have no collision.

WTC folder - 82.8 MB

manhat - 361 MB

Exactly. The whole time i was saying that including the entire manhat image adds extra unneeded MB. Imho he should just include the modded manhat wbn's and wpl's, those are the only files that he needs to modify inside the manhat image to prevent those bugs. That way the mod user/person who installs it doesn't need to download 300mb of needless data.

When Hbx comes back, you can chat with him and explain to him. =)
Because I'm not a modder, I'm just a video maker and Sims 3 designer. =)

But Frank, Hbx modified the file on the 10th September 2011 to 21st September 2011. That's when WTC 0.3 released!

He removed some buildings like i.e "City Hall" and objects.
I think it is necessary for him to put these files included in the WTC installation.

WTC is an add-on and all the objects are on the WTC add-on. Everything outside are not part of WTC add-on. They're part of Manhattan 1 and 2. Hbx removed some images & objects in Manhattan IMGs.

NEWS UPDATE

Hey WTC fans and WTC developers,

Hbx84 was online on Facebook and he told me his computer got stolen in the train. Do you know what's inside his laptop?

I have the Good News and the Bad News.

The Bad news is Hbx lost his files and his website got hacked by some bastard! (That's when his computer got stolen). He will recover his website and it will be repaired. Hbx has to recover his WTC project and his important files to his different computer. This will take a long time to recover and I don't know when WTC 0.4 project will start. If the files aren't recovered. GTA IV World Trade Center will stop and he won't start WTC 0.4 project.

The Good news is AJ has 3D Max and he has recovered files of WTC 0.3 or 3.5 files. So the WTC Mod is still alive.

Some more good news and bad news. The bad news is hbx can no longer be the modeler of the WTC mod, because his computer got stolen, and he starts school next month. He will not have any time to continue the mod for a while. The good news is, if he gives me permission to use his models, then I could try and continue the mod myself. But I would have to get use to the program first, and then continue it. Hbx said that instead of being a modeler, he will be the supervisor of the mod.

Of course I want. I'm good at texturing, and I can do you the bugsearch in game, so you can fix them until release...

[SkylineGTRFreak]

Maybe the mod will be continued, but it won't get anything near close as if HBX would have continued it, just my opinion and maybe (i hope so) I will be proven wrong.

I can only work with ZModeler II (but only doing vehicles, didn't try anything else, yet xD), I hate 3dsMax, so I'm not that much of a help at all.

[RomerJon17]

Good news everyone,

World Trade Center is now alive and Aj is taking over the project...
He's working with the WTC Mod and we'll see how to progress go?


NEWS UPDATE ON FACEBOOK



I'm starting to get use to 3ds max, and look what I got. This is a NOD emulator, and the yellow area I circled is where the WTC mod goes in GTA IV. Soon, I might be able to go into the nod editor, and fix the car, and pedestrian paths!
I also now got the models imported, and it looks magnificent!
We should definitely get a team of people so that the progress will go much faster. Everyone can help out if they know what they're doing.
~AJ Valentino


The circle part is a mistake!
