When the BETA 3.0 is out, which will hopefully include cars and everything, sometime next year, we can also release two optional packages - radio stations and sfx. So collect all you want, and then when the time comes we can see if they work, and who owns them, etc. Sorry if I'm a bit straightforward today, but I can't work without a plan (as I've got a lot on my plate), and I thought it best to let you guys know why I'm not going to be on: exams, and fulfilling my duties to this project.

I found a quick way to get the paths to work in VC (1000 Units Higher) by just adding 16 to the front of all the paths Z Co-Ords.

Here is what I saw when I got around the corner.


At least we know paths work up in the Sky.

Edit:
The first car to Spawn on the streets in Our Floating VC.

Anybody smelling the stench of "breakthrough" right here?

EDIT: And they don't interfere with LC, right?

[Swoorup]

LOL, i just messaged you!!
I think less traffic in the high coords have to do with streaming memory. Its currently set at 45 which is the original one. Lets try setting it to 90!!!

Already made an Paths mover. If its necessary ill upload it to GTAG and to the team!!!

[Swoorup]

Sorry for DBP. Ill test them thoroughly now!!!

[The Rocker]

I used to run my copy of VC on 150 all the time, never noticed any bugs on my part. If 90 doesn't give the desired results, 120 definitely will.

I have had the same problem, but i drove around a little and then it seemed like more Vehicles were spawning.

[Swoorup]

And here is the first bug


It only happens if police comes chasing you at high speeds in sloppy lands so far as I know !!!Not to worry though, I think its nothing!!!

[ALMOST610]

I think the lack of Vehicles/Ped's could also be due to the Zones not existing in High VC, if there are no Zones the game wont know where to send the vehicle types (Worker, Rich, Normal, Etc) as that is how some of the things are defined, I am sure we can move the Zones up there Easily.

[Swoorup]

No, I tried uncommenting all zone files in dat file. It has nothing to do with zon files! Just to be sure you can try it too!!

But I found some bugs, positioning bugs. I dont know if its with my IPL mover tool or not!
Maybe the model/texture bug at the new position which frank was talking about maybe related to this!!
We thought it to be model or texture bug!

[ALMOST610]

Those lights that are on the bridge are a pain in the A$$, those lights seem to do that when they intersect with another object, in my mod GTAMM I had them doing a similar problem when they intersected with a planter box i placed in the median Strip of the road and were floating above the model.
Going to look into the roof top now.

Edit:
@ Swoorup, did you realign the heights to fit with VC?

Edit:
Checked to Roof, it has always been like that, I guess it is just another present from R*, I will fix the model.

Edit:
If you experience an Issue in VC (South End Both Islands) where as you approach the Models load and then the LOD's return and then disappear. please remove both of these from MANSION.IPL and it will solve the issue, just open mansion.ipl and search for "7361" & "7363", or "IslandLOD1" & "IslandLOD2" and delete the two lines.

CODE

7362, IslandLOD1, 2, 777.89, -5091.09, **YOUR HEIGHT HERE**, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1 7363, IslandLOD2, 2, 2312.36, -4944.75, **YOUR HEIGHT HERE**, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1

I agree with you Almost610, both that lamppost and that model in haiti are gift from rockstar. I guess thats why they had the height limit so low in VC. But I noticed it just now!!
But the lamppost shows up wrongly in KED, not in the game at its original position! They were too lazy so they fixed from the exe itself i think!

BTW The paths mover is done

EDIT: Here's the link to the tool!

Is it just for me or are only Cops Spawning (Pedestrian).

Lets see if we cant repopulate the streets.

Edit: Upped the streaming Mem, there appears to be more people on the street now, not sure if it was due to the effect of the EXE, still not many cars though.

For me, peds spawn too but they are very few of them!!

[ALMOST610]

I've got an idea, not sure if it will work, do you think the game might handle them better if we were to separate them, we could reinstate the MAP.ZON file so it separates LC & VC with the LoadScreen but instead of the loadscreen appearing after moving from East to West, it will do it when you move Up or Down, it is so crazy it might just work or Fail terribly.

[Swoorup]

Dun know man, the game seems to load few population in LC too with or without zon files connected!!

[The Rocker]

It could probably work. Though the way I scripted things, when you go to Francis Intl./Esobar Intl. the screen fades to black, a screen appears saying you are now going to either VC/LC, and then you spawn in the new city. So for aesthetic purposes, won't be needed, but for functionality, yes. Try it out and see what happens.

[ALMOST610]

Gave it a try and the Spawns did not change but it does Hide VC from LC so you cannot see it and it Hided LC from when you are in VC.

[The Rocker]

Then we've made a break-through, have we not? Shall we use that in the release? I mean, is that how we're going to do it?

Info.zon Type: 2 The info.zon, with the help of the main.scm, controls which pedestrian and vehicles spawn in that specific zone. The info.zon can be viewed through KEd but it can be only edited by hand. The main.scm uses this file so you cannot just delete the lines in the file without editing the main.scm. This zone uses island number 1

@rocker
Good to know man!
Give it to me when done.
