ann0yanc3 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Ahhh, someone that's not talking out of their ass. THANK YOU!!! Ohh, and BTW, trying jumping out of a car or motorcycle in GTA3 while it's moving. Ohh yeah, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T!!! how many times do you have to be told. the way the character performs in GTA3 is nothing to do with the engine. its all scripted you idiot. jumping out of a car is down to a series of coded events that take place when the key to exit the car is pressed. the script exectues and the graphics engine renders it. the same script in GTA3 would render the exact same thing. you really cannot grasp this fact can you. I know it's the same graphics engine. Never said it wasn't. But, the in-game features have improved over GTA3. To me, it's like GTA3 was ironed out and out came GTA:VC. And, because of these new features, VC should be used over GTA3 for a multiplayer mod. No point in re-inventing the wheel. Link to comment

Guest Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 (edited) Sorry, I got an eror message, so i tried again, and it posted again. Sorry, delete Edited May 20, 2003 by Guest Link to comment
[xNet]DrDre Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 And btw, there can't be smoother graphX since GTA3 texture are 16 bit (or 24 i don't remember) and Vice are 32. So this is another hint your friend tells you lies. um, if im not mistaken, 32 bit colors are better than 16, are u confused or something???? i know VC looks alot better in 32 than it does in 16... 16 like blurs the text together..

stat^ Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 GTA3 and GTA3:VC can both be run in 16b & 32b colour depth, you imbecile. Link to comment

stat^ Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 the graphics engine is different. it draws things different. it also has new settings for helicopters hard coded in etc yet again, i say, THE WAY THINGS PERFORM AND/OR REACT ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RENDERING ENGINE. The helicopter is rendered by the graphics engine, it is controlled and regulated by a script engine. Try and understand this, it really isnt that hard to take in. Link to comment
Yakuza Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yes that was a typo. I love typos... Gta3's engine isn't the same as Gta:vc. But Gta3's engine isn't different to Gta:vc. Yakuzzza PS : If they were the same, files could be ported directly into gta:vc. But they aren't so different. As far as i know, mission engine is near (it's gta3 mission engine with more opcodes). I don't know anything for the graphX. Link to comment
BioDroid Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 And why does VC run smoother on my computer thatn gta3? Anyway, it is not the exact same engine, its maby 99.8% the same Link to comment
Wo33eR Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 There the same bloody engine, how hard can that be to understand... I cant think of any games off the top of my head to describe this but i will just use Half-Life... It is a old game, the graphics are crap. Say if you downloaded a Fusion Pack (Skin, Models, Sounds.. so on) and installed that then the graphics go remarkably better, less blocky and everything. ALSO if a slow PC runs half life they get blocky graphics BUT a fast PC runs Half Life they get less blocky grahpics... Its the same bloody engine it has just been tweaked to be that extra little bit better with new models N scripts N coding and junk.. Now lets end all this sillyness. THE ENGINE IS THE SAME ONE !.

Mercenary Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Both Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City use the Renderware Engine. The Vice City engine has certain 'tweaks' that allow more visually stimulating effects (especially for PC) that allow things like more detailed models, and larger texture sizes. At the heart, they are the same. The Vice City engine 'upgrade' is really just newer. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 But how do you explain the fact that the new GTA Vice City runs much better (higher framerates) than GTA3 on same PC (for me it's 100% true - Tbird1400, GF4TI4400, 512DDR) Is it bugfixed engine or something? Link to comment
2nd666 Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 OMG has anyone read the reviews bout VC? It says in them perfectly clearly that it is the SAME basic engine with a few tweaks, thats is all, no argument about it . ughh sum ppl. Link to comment
me Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 The VC engine is a very very very tweaked GTA3 engine. It IS the same engine... but just tweaked. Link to comment
xerox Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 yeah, tweaked for performance, and speed which is great for lower-spec cards. Its the same engine btw - just to clarify it for those that need this spelt out to them for the third time =) Link to comment
BioDroid Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Useless discussion, after all, we agree to the fact its the same basic engine but with tweaks that makes them a slight different. Thats why i like to define the engine of VC as 99.8% the same engine as GTA3. Link to comment
me Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Think monkeys. Humans share 99.8% of a chimp's DNA, but we're obviously different Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 wow... a forum that people just say the same thing over and over again. and it hasn't been locked! Link to comment
Wo33eR Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Yer i agree with that guy just before i read his post i was just about to say lock the dam topic !!. And also im pretty shocked now... Think monkeys. Humans share 99.8% of a chimp's DNA, but we're obviously different ... REALLY !!! ???, That cant be true, im not a monkey.. am i ?? Link to comment
Guest Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 lol... this topic is waaaay to repetetive, but heres my opinion: The engine is different... but its only different because they tweaked it. So... you could also say its the same, but just tweaked. Both the same thing. It is the same engine and it isnt. It depends how you look at it!!! also.. look at the halflife engine.. and using the SDK you can add all kinds of extra graphical things, and you can totally change the game to seem as if its not the same engine. but who realy cares anyway?

Guest Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 hehe... lock it after my lovely conclusion Link to comment
2nd666 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I agree, this is going round n round in circles A lock would give justice to it. Link to comment
