The city can be ported and it's not all that difficult. Yes, there will be loading times. Yes, it will be awesome. I wouldn't be touching the san andreas engine in any way. I would just have to manually apply light sources and other events. It would be very easy with the hammer utility.

Cold_St0rm, be specific... Define "do a lot more."

Yay! Visual Studio 2005 is now supported by the Source SDK as of two days ago! This should increase the speed at which I develop this project. :-) Happy happy joy joy

Hmm... Only one person is watching this mod... How many of you are aticipating this mods release?

I have a solution that will deter the possible lawsuits in the case of copyright infringements. I can use an installer program of some kind that will convert files from *YOUR* San Andreas data folders to the source engine for use with Steam (which is free.) In simpler terms, it would require you to already own the game. Simple enough. Is there anyone who has San Andreas for PC, 3ds max OR softimage, and availability of use of the source sdk who wants to help out? It would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Yah, sorry about that link. I lost my domain and I find myself in a situation where I cannot afford to renew the domain. :\

The link will change soon anyway as a different team has developed more of this mod than I have so I have joined them.

Sorry for the long period of no posts. I finally got my computer to function correctly so I can continue work on GTA Liberty City 2. The next teaser release will be available by Wednesday, at the latest. Thanks for your patience!

Hehe, it's not finished yet.

Wow, a quick visit to the website and I noticed that there are people who can't handle but post irrelevant items on the pages. Especially that porn remark. Grow up! This is a community, not a monkey-*** zoo. Home page locked.

Why don't you guys join the team? Using what has already been done helps significantly. That way, I can put all of my focus into the mission conversion, my specialty. I could never actually figure out how to move and insert new models into san andreas. But then again, I havn't tried since the end of July.

Thanks.

Hey man, cut it out. Do you not realize how much work it takes to make sure that every territory is named correctly as it is in those respective cities? Redoing the game to make it as close to real life as possible wouldn't take seconds for a team of 300 people, much less yourself.

Think before you speak. You might make yourself out to be an *******.

Right now with the teaser releases, you do not need the gta3 discs. In the future, I may incorporate that into the installer just in case legal issues develop (you would be playing gta3 for free) with Rockstar Games, who right now, would do whatever they can to recover money after most of their games are being put down and banned from some contries.

You are extactly right, Andromada. Right now, not much is happening. I will probably update the website more than this page, just out of convenience. Sorry for lack of updates lately. There is a problem with my new graphics cards/bios/nforce4. I am trying to resolve the problems. Thanks for sticking with it. Check out the new site!

Havn't you guys tried Google Earth? Just find it at google.com! You can go anywhere in the world and when you get used to the program, you will know how to enable the place names. You might get something outta there. Otherwise, mapquest, google maps, or just the old-fashioned paper maps would suffice if you could get your hands on them.

:)

Yah, I just might do that... If anyone would like to help, that would be great. No progress has been made in a while... Much too much stuff going on. School starts tomorrow, my job is limiting my hours to 26 a week (which is still a great deal with school and all), I am currently fooling around with iPodLinux, and I have yet to make any updates to my website in such a long time. So much on my mind right now, more people would be great. If you have any talent what-so-ever, pm me and I am sure I could find work that you could do if you like ;-)

Thanks

That is correct.

Still no updates due to the Windows OS incompatibility with 64-bit processors.

Maybe one day they will do something benefitial... One could only hope.

Despite that, I am still trying to work on this mod.

The better look of san andreas stands out. It is a given that gta3 needs to look better, have more quality. It needs more vibrant colors at higher resolutions. We aren't going to keep textures like the originals from gta3. They will look much better.

Until next week, no progress will be made due to the upgrading of my workstation. I am upgrading to better support new features video games offer and for the benefit of faster rendering times. AMD Athlon 64 FX-57, 4 Gigs of RAM, and half a terabyte of memory, Progress may be completed at a faster rate. Next week, I will be working constantly on this mod and the next teaser release will be available.

I want to pursue just the same... An exciting mod. They might have come across the same problems I have while trying to change the geographical formations of san andreas for use with different islands/places or the addition of more places. Crashes constantly...

I am looking for anyone who has or would like to try to alter the geographical aspect of san andreas since it is so much different from the previous two games. Just email admin@ksm-design.com if you would like to help out or would know someone who would like to help out. Thanks!

Great mod idea, don't close it. If DJ Triplx won't report back, he probably died. Create a new mod here at ModDB and finish the mod. I can help if needed. My info is here somewhere. We can finish the mod!

Once my internet connection is reliable, a Teaser Release of what has been developed will be available for download. All the instructions on what to do will be included.

Thanks! I await any feedback...

You have some great ideas. Doing the snow and stuff would be much to difficult because all the roads and buildings would have to be remodeled with the snow. As for the radio stations, I agree with you entirely. With the exception of Chatterbox, those radio stations just blowed.

And I don't mind difficulty.

The first step complete, all the cars renamed. If you want to change your mind on a certain vehicle, correct a mistake I performed, or something of the like, just pm me and I will get right on it. I will pm you the link to the american.gxt file.

If we were to retrieve help from the GTA: Libtery City team, they would have to learn all over again anyways. Both GTA3 and Vice have the same engine with few enhancements. San Andreas, on the other hand, is a game all on its own. Nothing is similar. Objects are called multiple times (some which seem pointless), scripts are in multiple broken-up parts, and city editing needs to be done much differently than it was for Vice City.

I did something similar to how the Myriad Islands for Vice City load, and the game freezes. Nevertheless, the scheduled date of internal alpha release still stands at the end of August.

We are still looking for any help from all who can.

Thanks!

No, it will take place in the late 90's / early 00's. It is the GTA3 storyline.

Hey there. I am back to see what's up. I see the car names and I will replace them for you and send the american.gxt on your way as soon as I am added to the project tree. I don't care to have access to anything, I can just use this project in my portfolio as something I contributed to.

Thanks.

Yes, we will somehow incorporate the purchasing of buildings. Anything you can do in San Andreas can be done here.

Unfortunately, because of the new AO rating of San Andreas, we will have to be very carefull with what comes out of this mod. If you already havn't heard the whole story yet, head on over to Ksm-design.com and look in the center. The sex scripts will be removed with this mod.

If you happen to have any more questions or comments, both citizin and I are all ears. Thanks!

This mod sounds like it would not take much effort. It sounds very similar to RealGTA for GTA3. I will watch this mod to keep up with what is happening. I can do the quick favor of renaming all the cars and stuff to their real-life models. Just give me the go. Same goes for the cities and such. In order for the time change to be accurate, research must be done to correspond with the new models that would need to be developed.

By the way, fix the grammar errors you have in the 'About' section. Make it look more professional.

By the end of August I hope to have the following objectives completed:

Splash Screen Redone
Loading screens replaced
San Andreas Removed
Portland added
Internal Alpha released to a lucky 5 individuals who email me first

I am still waiting for any comments...

Today I did a simple conversion. I moved the GTA3 cursor over to San Andreas. It was enlarged a bit, just to make it look better. There is a picture of it above.

There will be no updates for the next five days, as I am going on vacation in Florida. When I am back, I hope to see comments!

The opening movies from GTA3 are now in San Andreas. You know, the clip that introduces Rockstar Games (RAM OK, ROM OK) and Rockstar North, and the opening titles clip. I will edit the Rockstar clip to add KSM-Design's 3D logo in the near future. The beginning picture that displays before the menu will appear like the one from GTA3, but will have "Liberty City 2" Displayed. The background pictures in the menus are a bit odd, and will take a long time for me to replace. For now, they will stay the same. More updates in the near future.

I am still looking for a Mapper, a Modeler, and a Texture Artist.

The GTA3 Font has now been imported and a rough character resizing has taken effect. I will need to futz with it a bit more, to make it 100% accurate, but for now it is legible. The other fonts will be imported sooner or later.
