Now i will straight go through the documentation. Screenshots The Thanks List ren712 - for shaders & coronas help aap - for the original work & renderware engine help What have done or working in progress? Not Start yet/ not invesgate ? Partically Works Done & Fully Supported Pre-request Library Timecyc Parser Rendering the timecyc interpolation directly from timecyc.dat, interpretation algorithm conveted from librwgta. custom_coronas For rendering the classicFX, like VC style vehicle big headlight, trail light effect. DGS - (Optional) for the debugTools, But you're need dgs to work, i just a bit lazy with gui things Features Postfx Trails(Blur) - blurLeft,blurTop,blurRight,blurBottom works!

I'm also love SKYGFX project,I think that's how MTA & San andreas should looks by default. actually it's possible for some part of the effect, like colour filters & some rendering pipelines. btw I'm working on porting this to the MTA, hopefully can get it done in future here are some screens:

Thanks for the confirmation@Reyomin, speaking in terms of RY,RY, how do they excally work? i've looked over the PATH's wiki from https://www.grandtheftwiki.com/PATH_(IDE_Section) seems the original game path does not have rotation information, instead it has the "Median" for reprenting the width of walkway, kind of simular idea. I'm looking for a way to convert them into your traffic map, I've managed converted the nodes position from the original game path file, I need a bit help on that

I'm wondering would be possible if you just using a javascript based IME on your ui? i know there are serveral web-based ime projects are there, like web-pinyin-ime, maybe worth a try, good luck ?

You're right, that's a issue, I'll keep that in mind, definitely go with my own. maybe those projects are probably best to go with study purpose, e.g. what elements are there in traffic, like when the game first comes out, people are researching & investigate how the TXDs & DFFs structure laid out, and come up with their own code to parse the file.

I'd say the extensibility of the resources at least is good enough, you have seperate the NPC controls and traffic, there's does some rushes code in there though, but i woundn't consider it's wrong there, like @Platin - xNikoXD said you just geting better over time and that you are more experienced. but at least the npchlc did a good job, it's easy to extend, i've made some experiment on that, like cops chasing, arrest,gangs, actually it works pretty smooth. Speaking in terms of considering refactoring, I suggest we can take a look at how the original game traffic's code is designed, there are several reverse engineering projects available, RE3, GTASA-Reversed, see if we can do something based on them, I think this is the most accurate approach to simulate the original game traffic. But in overall, it's you did a relly good job @Reyomin

Motivation Recently I'm working on vice city stories map conversion project, thinking whatever I can also convert the path from the single-player to the MTA. there's a traffic resource made by one of our lovely community members CrystalMV @Reyomin. however, a few documentation were in there regarding its traffic file structure since it is encoded in binary. For sure, we do need a bit more understanding of the basics of how this thing works before we can start doing some magic on that.

Wish you all have a lovely holiday ! Happy new year guys

@CrystalMV That's true, sorry for being overeact i just a bit excited to see the original author in here

@CrystalMV Yes it does, this is the power behind on your NPC HLC Traffic. Big for creating this legendary tool .

thanks ?

@PerfX Please also do bayview from (NFS:UG2) golden classic city!
