This mod interested me way more than IV:SA or VCR, keep up the good work! By the way, are missions possible? (I don't know nothing about modding GTAIV/EFLC...)

I think that remade original GTAIII storyline missions is impossible to do but rampages, races are reachable, I'm right?

[nkjellman]

Maybe not with fancy cut scenes, but the first mission shouldn't be too hard.

[Squirlkiller]

Without fancy cutscenes, they would be like SA's DYOM missions, which aren't as fun if they are silent with subtitles and preset animations. If there was a way to make an audio file play at a given time (there is a way but I mean if sco modders have found it yet) the first mission wouldn't look to mediocre.

[Garju67]

Missions are possible. First mission was planned for Beta 1 but Frank.s quit and we don't have any SCO Coder atm. (btw, team is very small).

Speaking of missions, what do you have planned for cutscenes? Will you import them from III or just use pre-existing ones from IV?

As i said, there won't be missions. We don't have coders in our team.

[Squirlkiller]

Seek help from X360 and PS3 coders. Or learn

Ye i should learn. But i'm afraid it won't be easy. Gonna try someday though.

[yurban]

Missions and cutscenes are possible. Its real to do interesting missions with custom audio (replaced, waiting for Flit public audio tool) and standart anims, but cutscenes will be useless thing.
Also, I hope IVSA developers will give us (mean in common, not just for this mod) some info about multiplayer adaptation, will be very useful, because nobody wants to spend hours on singleplayer (i think).

Here's how you can port the cutscenes from GTAIII to IIIRageClassic.
First you record a HD video of III's actual cutscene, convert it using RAD tools, then play the video in IIIRageClassic by hi-jacking the tv .bik file playback system using Sco. (this works, i've tried and tested it)

Garju, i encourage you to learn how to script for IV, it would open up so many opportunities.

Three things allow MP to work: 1) xliveprotections remover asi + dsound.dll, 2) manhat ide's + IV props map files, 3) Edited original sco scripts and removed first "roman1" mission to allow the phone to be accessed at the start of the game.
I was able to add MP to Our Ugly World (alpha test) using these methods.

Also i agree that empty single player is boring, that's why OUW will have a storyline/missions too.

hey garju you should put on the 1st post that your using SA:LC considering this was the problem with the other topic.. also credits for OnePiece because I can see his HD gta 3 cars on the videos that are posted.(if they are included in the mod)

It looks great so far dude.

on the side note:
just learn how to cope with criticism better instead of getting mad quickly. answer nicely if they dont want to play nice then ignore them. simple as that but like I said great job so far. really looking forward to this

What version Radio Stations are you going to use in this mod, because you wouldn't want to bloat the download size.

[Garju67]

@noelgamo : Thank you very much man. About OP, HD cars aren't included in mod, only zzcool used them for previous gameplay. Now we use Xbox cars (look last gameplay). For SA:LC, i entered it, look at Thank's List, near dingleman.

@Ash : For now i didn't edited. It's the same than demo. But could you explain exactly what is the problem with radios ? Size ? I'm confused ...

@Frank : Thank you man. Didn't really understand though. If i do that, cutscenes will be III ones ? I mean just a video, not a real cuutscene using RAGE right ? Or, if you can, simply go to msn, that will be better ^^

The ones in the Demo have been converted down to MP3 80kbos and forced frequency changed to 44.1Khz, which degrades quality. If you want to save space then you might as well use the 10th Anniversary Radio (96kbps MP3 32Khz) or better yet, the Xbox Radio (128kbps WMA 44.1Khz), that way you don't have to convert anything at all, you do not need to mess with the files, you can use the ones provided by Rockstar in their better quality without too much of an impact on size and both work with the current plug in just fine.

[Squirlkiller]

Since it'll just be a video in .bik format (IV's video format), its only going to be RW cutscenes, not rage cutscenes.

Ok thx. Just checked but, Xbox format is wma. wma isn't readable by the script. Also, strangely, in audio folder (Xbox version) there is only few radio stations. Some radios are missing

Using the original sources from III, someone with a lot of spare time can recreate it using SCO, which I did for the demo.
However, the coords are off and not all natives are the same.

Here's a snippet from the original source for the first mission, which spawns the fires and cop cars:

CODE

Here's the IV SCO that I've made based on it:

I've used SCO ToolBox, but one can use SCOCL too, of course.
