MTA - Converted Maps

[Zorgman]

Transfagarasan is a real mountain road in Romania, it got notoriety after it was featured in the Top Gear show. It's great to see this here

Ah had forgotten about that, I may redo the textures and stuff closer to their real life counterparts when I get the time.

Oh by the way could I just get feedback on something? (From everyone)

I've got a more advanced streamer that uses a vastly more complicated technique used in maps such as United and alien city that have a massive ID list and I'm wondering if posted for $5-10 would any one actually be interested in it. Donations seem to not be happening what so ever and I need a way to fund projects I'm working on atm.

[FlyingSpoon]

Would be interesting to put it up. It would in a way (if people use your maps) want them to have a more stable map. Putting something like that on the line, is definitely an option.

Merry Christmas lads, as a gift I present to you

Download

Streaming Quality 7/10

Decent all around

Might be a tad laggy due to the high poly and Russian nature of this map

Extremely detailed for a user created map

 

[Storm-Hanma]

Good work

[Sjonkovic]

I have been playing around with these converted maps for the past day or two now, so I can first hand say that I really like the detail that these maps have to offer as well as the performance of the streamer. The streamer truly is a remarkable asset when you seek to get maximum performance while playing on these maps. Excellent work with the maps and the streamer, thank you for releasing the maps to the public.

PUBG MAP

I have said it before and I will say it again, too big for MTAs current limitations and the limitations of my computer; sure it would be possible but it'd be laggy as hell.

[wajardoxx]

how should it be installed ??? ... something else .... to remove everything and start from 0 with this map that I should do? (delete cars ... scoreboard ..... etc)

[Captain Cody]

You just drop it in as a resource, doesn't really matter how you start it as long as you start the map before anything else that I have grouped in the resources.

You might want to re-position crap though.

Least Downloaded Map - Alien City (I think I may have broken it?)

 

Fixed the alien city download, sorry about that I forgot to setup the permissions for it correctly.

However alien city may not be the most stable, I'm going to be working on an update for it soon enough that hopefully will  vastly improve it.

There's a bug with MTA where as certain zones go dark. This is due to me not having the ability to remove said cull zones.

[DRW]

You've done a really good job there. I support people that create projects so anyone else can use them. Hope more people consider donating.

[Captain Cody]

My general goal is to try to grow the MTA community, and way I see it allowing more uniqueness for servers is a huge way of doing it. Also; thank you for the donation will certainly help.

Hey, If u really want to help making MTA community grow day by day then u should stay positive and do what u are capable of.

I'm not telling you to convert gta 5 or pubg maps but I'm telling u at least to try something different.
How about u convert such things like these:

Argo map (This game is made by Arma 3 makers).

Slenderman map .

Fortnite map (it's not as big as PUBG one).

[Captain Cody]

I cannot do any large maps at the moment my computer is not capable of it. If I had proper donations I'd be able to do stuff like Armas map, Pubg, ect. I've been doing what I've been able to do so far, but doing maps like that require powerful computers in which I cannot afford.

[Captain Cody]

Any maps from Halo CE, Mario Cart, or something else with proper exporting tools you lads would like to see?

[aka Blue]

I didn't see this post lol, thank you for share it!

[Captain Cody]

Likely will not be an official JS release, but I'm working on porting driver 2s map as a test for my new streamer which does not use any model IDs instead it uses the model name hashes similar to how IV does it. There will also be a new file format called .JSP and .JSD

JSP structure will be

ModelName, Interior, Dimension, x , y ,z , xr , yr , zr
ModelName2, Interior2, Dimension2, x2 , y2 ,z2 , xr2 , yr2 , zr2

JSD will be

Idhash,Dff,Txd,Col,DrawDistance,SpecialAlphaFlag(true or false),Culled (true or false),Lod(true, false or Idhash of Lod)

-- JSP
Name,Interior,Dimension,x,y,z,xr,yr,zr

-- JSD
Name,Dff,Txd,Col,Drawdistance,Special Alpha,Backface Cull,Lod Number or true,Show time, Disapear time

-- Show time = Time of day that the object shows up (For windows and crap)
-- Disapear time = Time of day that the object disapears (For windows and crap)

All maps will be updated to this new system at the end of the month,  .map support will be 100% phased out from any of my systems by that time.

However, for map editor concerns I will be doing a map editing tool kit, that allows you to edit the maps as well set object definitions (Properties) through a GUI that will save to the core

JSP and JSD files. The Reason I am doing this is so that the streamer has better control of how the objects are added also I will be adding a lot more systems in the future that will depend on these new formats.

Sneak peak of new LC update (Those of you running the LC map hopefully will be able to recognize what has been fixed)

Spoiler

 

 

[Captain Cody]

While testing new streamer I managed to make a new United. Perfect conversions of LC and VC combined on the same map with custom offsets. When I release the new streamer I'll be releasing a special United patch that will make this functional.

Also some loading time tests. (Regular Hard drive, 3.4 GHz processor, 8GB ram)

LC / VC - 25 second average. (Around 1 minute quicker then previous) -- Smaller map

United (LC + VC) 40 second average. (6 minutes quicker then previous) -- Large map

Alien City 110 second average (10-15 minutes quicker then previous) -- Massive map

I'll be releasing new streamer on the 1st. Also, I've added some modified VCS neons to VC.
