@Tank-Guy I was wondering if you would be kind enough to send me this model or upload for download. I love this car but I couldn't find it for GTA IV or V anywhere.

Nice to see progress with that model!

Looks cool. Definitely will put in game.

@Backslash-Bernhard thanks
I released the new version 1.2.0 that support a new physics model that is more configurable.
It is more convenient to simulate tinywhoop, try using smaller propellers size and adding more drag coef.
I'll be glad to have your feedback.

I admire you for your efforts on this one. The Crew franchise is great for action but falls short for Open World. The crap textures aren't a surprise given the geography covered at the cost of detail and realism.

So I've been testing The Crew 2 map and it's possible but man... this is going to take a long ass time if done right. The road textures are pretty godawful and the way the terrain is extracted is even worse.

If you're not aware, TC2 uses 20x12 tiles for each map "section". Each one of those 20x12 tiles is split up into sectors of 8x8.

ex:
01x01 sector 00x00
01x01 sector 00x01
01x01 sector 00x02
...
01x01 sector 08x07
01x01 sector 08x08

So basically for a 1x1:8x8 section of the terrain alone, I have to deal with 191 items (1 .raw and 2 .dds files) and a 600Mb obj. I originally tried to extract a 20x12:8x8 area so I could work on a good chunk but by the time I canceled the extract on section 02x02, THE FOLDER WAS ALREADY 12GB and 8,000+ files, most of that size being the 10gb obj file. Given there's 99x99 tiles to go through you can start to see why this project is not impossible but damn near close.

Will I attempt it? Perhaps. I need to do more testing to see I can make some scripts to automate certain things. The shaders on imported objects in Blender don't use BDSF, so I can't auto convert the shaders into GTA ones. More annoying is the fact that each object is it's own material, not being shared with other objects that use the same textures. And then there's trying to apply the normal/spec maps to those. This project is something else

@WolfCustoms
well as FiveM works differently in that it uses MP Maps versions of ymap and ybn files (with hei_ )
it could very well be you are using those to setup SP?
Or simply are altering wrong ones...

By now, I have quite a few MLOs ingame where I needed to remove COLs myself.
So if you would feel comfortable to send me the files I'll be able to fix your SP version (most probably).

i dont think you quite understood what this section of the forum is used for.
its definitely not used to make requests.

Released 05.II.2023.
download

i love this car!!
i wonder if you could do a Mercedes Benz 500 SL Cabriolet from the 80's??? that would be really awesome!!
kind regards

Some of the links like taxi polara and quite bit of police cars links etc

@thebegin10 did you release it ?

@theBmag said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Extended Video Export 2:

I've been able to compile the master, refactor and your version. So far, I've only been able to get the master branch one to successfully export a video.

I wasn't expecting your version to be working but I gave it a try anyways. I got as far as Function too small to hook safely! and Failed to hook ID3DeviceContext::Draw ### error code: -2147467259

I'm not a software developer so I probably can't help much.

I've been struggling with trying to get a dynamic array working. Creating a new element and assigning it to the hook element from the array. I don't know if it's easy or not... I'm just trying to figure out how to get the master version working on newer versions of software for possible speed potential benefits, just like the creator of the refactored version of EVE. I don't know if he's still working on it but I would really dream to see a compiled version of the refactor.

@oloMolo
A picture needs an extension for the forum markup to recognize it. No extension, no pic display. And the generally accepted spelling is Merry rather than Marry, but I get it.

@JohnFromGWN 'Broken' as in not being able to get my large maps to load anymore. It's been a thing since the 'contract' dlc. Others have been having the same prob. I've been at the devs over at github and no one seems to know or care why it's happening.

Yeah, I 'dug' the extention out with no prob. However, when I pasted it here it just showed up as the link. Okay, got it. The open in new tab bit was what was missing.

@NextGenz said in GTA America Expansion 2023:

(Map Limits) If you have played GTA5 before you will know that your plane or vehicle break down once your go past a certain point in the ocean.

No, I've never noticed this, even in the 10,000s and beyond, because I use a script called No Boundary Limits.

Very ambitious project. Are you testing it on a mid range PC? Because even with the best optimization, loading and unloading IPLs, you will easily crash most of the desktops here and certainly the majority of laptops.

One factor that you're possibly neglecting is memory leaks. Even in scripting, releasing entities from memory ("MarkAsNoLongerNeeded") is bullshit. Keep spawning entities and once you reach your limit your game will crash, even with 128GB of RAM and 12GB+ of VRAM.

Even the slightest overlap in maps (visible or not) will cause AI and even player behaviour issues. Since this is true in SP and FiveM, so be prepared to make hundreds of edits on collisions.

Good luck but this sounds like a recipe for disaster.
