I'll get all the roads textured tomorrow.

[xXMADEXx]

Wow, looks really amazing! Can't wait to see it

[GrimTheXReaperrr]

looks good man

I noticed you said You will be using the clothes also

as in are you going to

create them where they are custom items

for example without doing a bunch of code

blah blah itemID equals number blah blah CJclothes id blah blah

or are you just going to be using CJ plain out and thats it?

anyways God Bless All !!!!!!!

Actually, I'll use CJ skin as default because as far I know, we can't set the CJ clothes to another skin.

But If one day it's possible, I'll make sure that feature will be added.

Looks very great ! That's exactly what I was expecting.

@FatalTerror

If you have some more models request, you can PM me. I'll get you the download link later tonight.

But, this means that you'll only use the CJ skin? that'll be quite weird .

[FatalTerror]

But, this means that you'll only use the CJ skin? that'll be quite weird .

Yea I know, that's the only solution (I think) If I want to allow clothes in the gamemode.

If someone have an idea to solve this problem, let me know.

I have an idea about the clothes, here are the original GTA SA cj clothes: http://www.vr-gaming.com/fisiere/costumcj.zip (thanks to golanu21) . You can replace some models with cj clothes, and then use some attaching function to attach them to normal Peds. If you want me to help you, i can sort them out and replace some models, and make a list of clothes.

Clothes models need to animate with the peds, it's not just attaching models to peds, they need to deform as the ped walks.

[Slammer]

Good job do you have a forum yet?

[krischkros]

he videos are already stabbed me in the eye.

The idea is great.

However, the graphical implementation is disastrous.

That would be the only criticism.

=> Pictures are badly placed to each other (with integers work at DXDraw)

=> The images themselves have been poorly implemented. (Gaps, over-scaling, soft edges)

=> The "Photoshop models" are strangely very pixelated. (Which version are you using? CS2?)

Especially when small improvements here are still to be seen, I will a small fan of this game mode. That is beyond question. I support everything that is new!

Thanks for those feedback.

Don't understand what you mean by badly placed. Ergonomics?

=> The images themselves have been poorly implemented. (Gaps, over-scaling, soft edges)

Yes, sadly when I made it I didn't pay attention to these small over-scaling.

For the edges of each image, I still not understand why it happens. I've tried every solutions (image size power of 2, textureEdge to clamp as say wiki) but it would not be perfect as in the Photoshop file.

It 'll never looks like in the Photoshop. I'm trying to get closer the most of the perfection but it wouldn't be perfect.

=> The "Photoshop models" are strangely very pixelated. (Which version are you using? CS2?)

It's because I resize the picture before post it in the forum.

There is the original one ( http://puu.sh/48PA9.png )

And I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Anyway thanks everybody for your support.

FatalTerror.

OMG, this is the best script! i like it also i like to play the sims

[Mefisto_PL]

Hmm.. It's badly placed, that's right. Look at Shop and Family icons.

[qaisjp]

FatalTerror, you have not failed to impress me. It's absolutely phenomenal, I have a million questions to ask you and a million things to say to you. So expect a nice looong PM

I love this.

Thanks, i'll be happy to answer to each question

It's not a big deal. As I said in my previous post, it would never look the same as in the Photoshop model.

So hi there,

I've finish the world generator some hours ago and I would to share this with you.

The first thing that you can see is the dirty code that I've made.

I think it could be better and more simple with a better logic in the code.

If you have free time and want to contribute, you can here:

Nice to see some progress. For generating maps, I'd use some sort of tile based system like in some old games (mainly 2D games, eg: Mario Bros). It'd be easier for you to edit the maps later. To do that, you can have tiles of size 15x15 (if I remember correctly, that's the size of X junction), then just place specific model in specific tile with rotation if necessary.

This is my map creator for my flash game (the final project in college):

To save the maps you can use tables:

-- 0 = empty space; could be replaced with grass (15x15 plane with texture of grass) 
-- 1 = straight road 
-- 2 = X junction 
-- 3 = corners 
-- 4 = T junctions 
map = { 
    { 3, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 3 }, 
    { 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1 }, 
    { 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4 }, 
    { 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1 }, 
    { 3, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 3 }, 
}; 

As you can see it's simple to edit maps. You could replace each number in this table with another table { tileNumber, rotation }, so that you know that you need to rotate that specific tile.

If you need to you could replace 0 with flat plane to create grass. You can google how such system is made if you don't understand, but it'd be much easier for you to edit maps in the future.

These are just my suggestions. If you need any more models just give me a shout. Good luck with the project!

[glowdemon1]

Good luck, I'm looking forward to play on a server like this, this looks really awesome.

[Keilbritschn]

Thats amazing . Wish you good luck. Cant wait ^^

You can use shaders to have indefinite clothes and you can use shaders to shade the ethnicity of the player. Arran, myself and some other guys were talking about this in IRC, you've got indefinite possibilities.

[50p]

I'm hoping for another video soon :>

@A Concerned Citizen,

As far as I remember you can't use shaders on CJ's clothes. I might be wrong and it has been fixed but the last time I tried it didn't work.

[qaisjp]

You're wrong 50p.

[RainBow]

I figured out how to do it, and its not the simplest thing, but I'm willing to show you how.
