This projecy can be called as many ways, but it has a simple objective, this one is to take GTA IV map into SA Game engine.Reasons?
1-IV is a such bad optimized crap, spawning lods like a mad bitch and struggling pretty descent riggs when you run other games in awsome quality!
2-IV is boring, after storyline just left to date with friends and this ends once game is at 100%, then just boring trainers, while SA Has gyms,girlfriends,tunning,races,parachuting,underwater(diving), alot of clothes,haircuts,tattoos...etc.
3-Alot of people dont even care about buying IV couse is a crap and i understand that, i can run it in Max sets and even that i feel like i screwed my money :angry:
Rwils79 started the project, doing a little very little part from broker, then i started helped him, with the time we started doing alot from broker but for life issues he left the mod and im alone now, i started doing Algonquin progress couse i lost broker but later recovered it from my mate rwils79 who had a backup.
At the start i just converted buildings but i realized the mod would need everything R* did with his map and i had to learn every technique:
-Prelightning(normal and Pro Way)
-Dynamic collisions
-Object.dat Editing and creation
-Shadows and Dynamic shadows creation
-2DFX editing and creation
-Scripting or inteligent lighs(the one SA use in area 51)
-Programmed moving Objects
-Collision materials edition
-Cull zone edition and creation
-Water.dat creation from 0
-Limit breaking and metods to Fool SA engine
-.IDE Flag system
-LOD Placing and parenting system
-Vehicle converting
-Rigging of Player parts and PEDS
-Path Making(still trying to find a way to make succesful car paths)
-Alot more...
I had to learn all of this to can be able to do a such awsome map!
With the time the project started to be known by people and they started to request videos or pictures then i uploaded the first video and with progress i started to post more of them
here i post them if you never saw or heard about the project:

I was wondering the same thing, i think it would :hmm:
Indeed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOo3z9H8F-k#ws) I was too excited to land something decent, it was 5 minutes after i even installed the mod :happy:
Also, anyone else having this map loading issue?

Anyone else having trouble with reps? My game keeps crashing when I attempt to view them.. (f3)
-
The map will crash every. Rep couse is not finished and gta can't recognize every boundray from the game+ the levelmap rep feature uses is not rebuilded till now :)
No, this map into VC is impossible,reasons?
-you are talking about meshes with 30k poly I think 1 building from IV= 1 whole island from VC.
-VC limits are damn slow
-this map requires near 1GB of stream memory, the only GTA'S with that capability are SA and IV
about the coding thing I really don't know, but go try it :)
and WOW I'm very happy nobody had problem installing the mod ;)
-
Well i dont know shit about modding but what was the reason SA could be converted but not IV? also you cant change the streaming memory :D?
-
No, stream memory can be just adjusted like saying the engine how much of it use in every operation
it cant be changed, is damn hardcoded and nobody managed to do it
and VC dev stopped alot ago so is must like a dream for VC to have this map
-
Hey Flat, u should pin this
-
Hey Flat, u should pin this
Yeah, defo :ajaja:
-
I really hope everyone enjoy the map and make stunting videos or photos with it ;D
-
why not convert the converted SA2IV to vc engine ? :hmm: and then maybe convert it to gta3 and from thare to Mario's engine ;O
-
Yeh :lol:
and is IV2SA since SA2IV is saying SA map into IV :P
-
When do you reckon the next version will be out? I'm working on a little vid, but there's a shortage of spots due to the fact that the map is still quite small :>
-
Dont know, is all about my life and time i get to work with the mod :|
-
Pinned, really good job there bro :ajaja:
-
Thanks BeaT :lol:
-
Well this is not Map Advantage xD but in certain way is something very related to it
I rigged jhonny, no Bugs, i tested everything :)
Screenies: ;D

2-Maps cant be installed by mod installer, since is a crap of program....never used it in my life
3-Yeh thats the Link, will contain the actual progress for the map and stuff you see in video

looks gay
i don't like it <_<
lol shut the fuck up.he deserves alot more for his work.atleast try to be atleast constructive if you dont like it because those comments are totally useless.
ontopic:good job vans,ill try this map out soon.it looks great
-
Everyone are entitled to their own opinion. Someone says they don't like a certain skin and you go batshit on their arses? It's not even your goddamn project, so there's really no need to interfere.
-
just wait for fucking beta...
I'm trying install GTI, and I have crashes too :/

They could have said i don't like it BECAUSE or it looks gay BECAUSE.Opinions like that are constructive and they can let the creator know what to change/make better.And what if it's not my project?I have the same right to post my opinion as they do.
-
1-Sayin you hate the fking skin is useless and senseless, not even 1 modder will make skins for everyone who likes it and change it to another couse dudes not liking that <_<
2-Constructive criticsm is much more diferent than saying "The mod sucks" or "The mod looks gay", why the fuck the auther in this case me will do with that comments? any map mod cant be gay <_<, if the mod sucks the dont fking download it
3-Of course you have the freedom to do and post all the critics to the project, but do it in a right way not saying a general idea like "The mod Sucks" thats hit doesnt help anyone <_<
-
Pretty nice mod, gj :).But i have an annoying problem , i see most objects only for less then 1 sec and then they get hide again and again :S.
-
Okily Dokily :cheernutz:
do kily? :|

Installed it following the read me but it wont start. I run the .exe, Windows 7 changes to the basic theme, nothing happens, after a few seconds it crashes without an error message.
I have Windows 7 64-bit
-
Nick: you didnt installed stream memory fix or the stream memory fix is not working for you, that fix that problem
-
Any news on further releases?
-
Nick: you didnt installed stream memory fix or the stream memory fix is not working for you, that fix that problem

Hey Vans, any progress? I've made one solo now which you can see in the DSS video section, and I wanna do more, but the amount of spots left on the map is an issue :P
-
good luck in this project man, speaking from someone who has tried a map mod conversion....
-
Wow, amazing job so far! Can't wait for the final product
-
Next project should be IV to VC :O :O :O :O :O :O :O ??? :O :O :O :O :O :O :O
-
Maybe it would be easier to mod this mod, if you know what I mean. I imagine the scripts they used for SAiVC could be adapted for that purpose... Dunno though.
It would be pretty awesome though.
-
Next project should be IV to VC :O :O :O :O :O :O :O ??? :O :O :O :O :O :O :O
That was discussed earlier, Not possible =[
Vans: you have a website that we can track the progress?
-
if IV can go in SA it can go in VC... but I doubt if anyone is gonna try :P
-
Well Vans doesn't want to work with VC because he works pretty much exclusively with SA... the easiest way to VC would be convert his mod to VC when it's done but.. I mean.. WE'VE SEEN HOW HARD PEOPLE WORK WHEN CONVERTING A MAP TO ANOTHER ENGINE HAVEN'T WE NITZKIT
EDIT: He thinks it's not possible to get such high poly models working in VC but someone like me who only mods VC knows it is possible :P
It's just a heap of work WHICH AS I SAID, IS A LITTLE TOO HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE ISN'T IT NI.... FRIENDS
-
GOGO NITZKIT AND FLATFACE! Work dat mod!
-
:angry: YOU SLUT! :(
-
I'd do anything for that mod. Anything Nitzkit! *sexyface* hint hint

Here is the Beta guys.
GTA IV to SA Beta Release (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXc1rQbIF98#ws)

Waiting for the download links :ninja:
-
IT's very awesome :cheernutz:
-
DL link is up
-
Like the Alpha the Beta doesn't work <_<
I have Windows 7 64-bit
Tried installing twice
It gets stuck on the game loading screen everytime
Tried running as admin
Installed the memory breaking
Any help would be much appreciated
Anyone got it to work in Windows 7 64-bit ?
-
The alpha worked perfectly fine and I have the same OS as you. The beta however, crashes during the loading screen.
This might have something to do with it..

i forgot to add a file that contains every new collisions, game wont load in any matter i will be uploading it on some minutes for tomorrow is ready" - HeroBioYui

Still doesn't seem to be working for me still, it still crashes on the loading screen.

Could someone re-up this? All the links are dead.

Bump. This mod rules, I wont let it die.
Again, anyone got a working link?
-
Why now is it only me who cant get it working ? :unsure:

The beta didn't work for me either, but now I know why! As soon as someone reuploads the alpha and the beta I'll give you a detailed tutorial on how to get it working.
-
re-upload would be cool yep :)
-
Bump.
Reupload it.

Ive downloaded this and run it and it crashes before it gets to the Start Menu Screen

Something is very wrong here ...

It's the beta, so it's not quite finished, but there aren't nearly as many holes as there are in the Alpha.
-

That got it to the loading screen but like my other installation it freezes when loading
San Andreas should run on the most basic of todays computers , does it need any runtimes or Vista/7 to work ?
-
Not as far as I know. Try the different compatibility modes, and if that doesn't work then I don't know, something is indeed wrong.

as I mentioned in the topic someone made in the community council, I'm cleaning the section up and talking to friends as well as new people :P to post mods here so we have a hub for people to go to and find what mods they're after. I'm using Neo's topic as said hub and leaving links in the 1st post to any released mod.
