Every game gets old in terms of graphics. The hits from the past fall into oblivion for various reasons,
but undoubtedly the most significant of them is poor -as for our times- graphic quality.
GTA Vice City is presently a collection of blatant textures and models,
which certainly don't make the game more enjoyable.
Vice Cry is a modification that aims to prolong the life of the game,
and to make one of the best parts of the GTA series more entertaining to play.




Changes:

- specially modified gta-vc.exe for Vice Cry,
- new roads: 99%~100%,
- new sidewalks: 99%~100%,
- changed 100% vegetation (100% with flowerpots),
- LOD system for palms,
- 3D grass,
- a slew of new textures in HD (1024x1024), like:
concrete, ground, rocks, metal, wood, buildings, walls, water, doors, etc.
- marsh vegetation,
- new vehicles (Xbox Vehicles Mod),
- new effects (modified particle.txd),
- radar HQ and weapons in HUD HQ,
- tropical island,
- remodeled some skycrapers,
- remodeled pickups,
- new particle effects,
- modified traffic lights,
- repaired a lot of texture mapping,
- reapired bugs in .IDE,
- a lot of modified models,
- TRAILS - new option in graphic settings.
- modified font (2048x2048),
- modified loadscreens

Very good mod mate, downloading ! Keep up the good work, and have a snack on the way .

[Frank.s]

Looks top-notch, d/l'ing.

[ALMOST610]

Fantastic, keep up the work and this will turn out great, you should host the files on GTA Garage.

[Pawelo]

looks good but i think palms are better from older versions of Project 125x ;]

[nkjellman]

Nice work man. One recomendation. You should put in the xbox cars. Keep up the good work tho.

[dingleman]

Wow! I especially like the 3D grass, that must have taken ages to do!

Keep it up.

[kowal125xr]

Thanks for opinions (and cookies XD) - they are very important for me . Of course I'm going to release v.1.6 in february. I've got many plans what to do and put in the Vice City. 3D grass was a big problem when I decided to place it in the city - but now I've got a good script for 3ds max and I can work faster .

[The FireStarteR]

For instance, you can take ENB and make some magic with it. Just don't ruin the original Vice City atmosphere.
Right now you made a really great work, keep going it that way, and perhaps we will play the mod everyone dreamed about - good ol' Vice with awesome graphics.

There is no problem when I put only the new texture and model in my GTA3.img, but, when I put the new folder "map" the game crashes to.

Help

[kowal125xr]

Have you placed gta_vc.dat into data folder?

[gtaboys]

Yes I have !

I triedwith two computers, and with a clean vice city...

[kowal125xr]

Try to run game in 3 steps:
1. Copy this folders into "maps":
hcg_grass
hcg_grass2
hcg_grass3
hcg_grass_2
plants
p125xr
wentylacja

Run Game

2. Copy generic.IDE into "maps"

Run Game

3. Copy all rest.

Run Game


BTW - have you tried to play without 3D grass?

[gtaboys]

Yes I tried to run without 3d grass !

I will try your 3 steps tomorow
I'll let you know !

[King Shady]

Do you use HardCore Graphic v0.4.5 files or is there are your own project now ?
But i like it .

[kowal125xr]

I'm one of the authors of HCG. In HCG 0.4.5 you can see elements of Project 125xr v.1.3. I left the HCG project and now I work on my own .

[gtaboys]

I have tested steps by steps and for me it's gta-vc.dat the problem.

Edit : It's okay ! In fact, I don't know for what but Winrar did not extract properly all the files...

[kowal125xr]

I'm glad everything is OK .

Small mod update:
What should we see in v.1.6:

- new weapons from Far Cry (100% sure). Maybe I'll convert some guns from Crysis.
- new weapon sounds
- more and more textures
- some new objects (I don't know what exactly yet)
- of course more 3D grass

List of the future changes can be changed.

[Mark01]

I tought your mod was about enhancing vice city graphics not replacing with other game's stuff... too bad for me.

[Jeru]

Hey, this looks great but it's a shame that it requires a modded .exe and additional .col files... A simple retexture would have been good enough, imo.

Could you please make a version that doesn't change gta-vc.dat? And/or release 3d grass separately?
