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.



We decided to create a new topic because we want to keep clarity. Furthermore - v1.8 is going to be
the biggets and the greatest version in Vice Cry history, so it deserves for that.





New features in 1.8:

- Complete renovation of... Everything.
- New peds *
- HQ cars textures *
- More detailed world
- ENB Series support
- New timecyc
- New weapons *
- New textures (especially buildings)
- A little bit more 3D grass (there's never enough)

* - Maybe not all at once, but as much, as we can.

Possible features:

- Density of the traffic
- New cars


This is what Vice Cry actually contains:

- a slew of new textures
- changed 100% vegetation (100% with flowerpots)
- LOD system for palms
- marsh vegetation
- radar HQ and weapons in HUD HQ
- new vehicles (Xbox Vehicles Mod)
- tropical island
- remodeled some skycrapers
- remodeled pickups
- new particle effects
- modified traffic lights
- repaired a lot of texture mapping
- reapired bugs in .IDE
- modified models
- 3D grass

good textures

[Death2Drugs]

Are you using XBOX peds? I heard they look much better (i.e. separate fingers, more human looking, etc).

Not in VC, I think.

Models peds in and out cutscenes for GTA VC PC and XBOX are fully identical.

Oh. I thought that Rockstar gave the special treatment for the XBOX version like they did with III.

You're going to make completely new peds? I hope you try to make them look as similar as possible to the original ones to keep the original vibe of the game.

[Togrul]

Flawless. Adding a bit dirt to textures would be awesome

That's our mod purpose - try to preserve the original style of the city.
Same with peds - we'll remake some of them and we'll try to keep their original appearance.

BTW - when we'll get to that stage with peds, we'll need help with rigging.


But at the moment we're focused on static models. I'll show you a comparison next time (org. Vice City models vs Vice Cry models).

That's good! I can't wait to see all the peds with separate fingers and actually look like proper humans!

[Masny]

Ok, I'm gonna wait for new version

[MW_29]

And i heard that 1.7 was meant to be last one ...;]

[Victor_Knight]

I have a problem with your mod. The roads have terrible glows. Can I fix it somehow?


So... You guys making a great work. and I hope you'll release something like DLC for Vice Cry with dark road textures like in SRT3, which looks much better than current "white" roads.

As far as I'm concerned VC roads were always like that.

[wahgah]

just curious if there is a release of 1.8 coming out soon. you haven't said on any of your pages(that I have noticed) and i can't get 1.7 to work, just thought I could wait for 1.8 and try it instead.
thank you for any information provided.

[Crystallas]

Good luck with this. I'm anxious to see the progress.

[spartaque12]

very nice work <3
so in 1.8 you combine vc + lod ?

[kowal125xr]

It's been a long time...

Sorry for this big lack of info. I'm very lazy :F


So we were focused on the docks. Really small part of the whole city. After... let's say... a month of work, we have something like this:




Docks are completed (in our opinion).

Now we're changing the airport area:





Thanks to our friend xXaerooff2Xx who brought us planes models from GTA IV! (props mate )




If someone is interested:
There will be the "Insane Veg-Edition" of Vice Cry - a special version of the mod with horribly big amount of vegetation. Example:


I'm gonna plant everywhere... until my PC dies...


I'll try to provide more update/info/screens/anything here.


Answer Time

@Victor_Knight - as H3NR1QU3 said
@universetwisters - yep
@wahgah - not so soon, as you probably guessed.
@Crystallas - thank you
@spartaque12 - thanks and... you know - we are implementing our own lod system

Cheers

[vans123]

looks good so far

[ElMafias]

So we install this in vice city? Or which game? And looking forward this, looking rather nice. also if you need any help with GFX I can TRY
