GTA SA mod for Vice City

[El Jako]

Hi im kinda new here. Ive modded GTA a lot but I never released any of 'em . LIke I gave the gangs diff weapons like I gave the Cubans katanas and chromeguns. Well anyway I started this mod im doing for Vice city where im converting the map fully and even adding a few islands and towns. If you noticed that in new maps there are no peds or cars. Well you would have to edit or add paths for those things. So anyway here are a few questions and ideas for the mod.

I heard that you can add vehicles to the game without replacing others, but I heard there are 4 slots available for those only. Is this true?

I know how we can add cops to ride other vehicles or in this situation the Cop bike. We could add the bike first, edit the main.scm file to direct the cops to ride that vehicle also.

We could edit the main.scm to stop the police choppers which are almost indesructable, and order cops to enter a normal police chopperand go to us. All this is possible if you know how to edit the main.scm file.

Know how annoying it is when cops just spawn and infinite waves of cop cars come, in the main.scm file we could order cops to spawn at police stations, get in car and go to our location instaed of just spawning. Ditto for swat and military.

I have other ideas but I just wanted to show you guys. If any of you can help me in I would aprreciate it. I need an expert for the main.scm file, an expert at modeling vehicles and scenery, and a mapper. I m aslo gonna map.

I jut wanted to show you what I did with the buddyshot. I replaced it with the sawn-off shotgun from Max Payne, gave it the SA icon HUD, edited the weapon file so it will have 2 rounds before reloading, I made the player hold it like a pistol. Easy: yes, but fun. Having the reliability and weight like a pistol, having the power of a shotgun.

Hers a screen :
Sry its alittle messed up.

Oh yeah I need some things if possible:

Scenery:
Forest trees(not tropical)
Red canyon rocks

So what you guys think?

[Jay Squirrel]

Very bad idea... wait for sa on pc, it will take you longer to make the mod

[OkComputer]

Squirrals right.

Well the map wouldnt. Heres my map idea:

The lower half would be like canyon desert style.
BEach would look like orange red desert, put a custom red canyon rock scenery there. Add a couple buildings. The Upper part would be full of forest trees like a mountain forest city. The upper beach area would have a dirt and rock ground texture, and be full of those trees looking like a dense forest. Evn add a moountain. This is possible becuase you can add custom scenery and place it on a map. I tried exporting my canyon scenery from 3ds to dff format but to no avail.

Plus we can add a road and other island tows and add path for peds and vehicles. Oh plus I know how we can add beach parties: Edit the main.scm file to place dancers not only in the malibu but also on that beach area. Sure it might take long, but waitin till March or May isnt? If someone could provide me with the 3 scenery I need: forest trees, Red canyon rocks, and a mountain; than I could create a similar feel map, I even edited some of the textures already.

Just want to show 2 screens of what I did. Nuthing big now but.........
Well one shows how I modified the buddyshot into a sawn-off shotty. Model and hud obviously not mine, just 2 seperate mods combines and weapons.dat edited. Second shows how I edited the textures on the ground on the bottom half of the map which I plan to make look like the city near a desert, or create a mood to feel like Las Venturas.
