BETTER STABILITY, LESS CRASHES and much more!

Hello everybody, i hope y'all having a good time with beta 1.4, this time im happy to announce the biggest update yet for GTA Liberty Wiseguys, this time thanks to my collaborator Artiom Triskin who developed his own mods for GTA SA:LC, i've been able to add tons of content such as the ones mentioned above and i've been working on textures, mapping and more to add immersion to the early 70s vibes this story is aiming for.

The peds have been changed, many billboards have been changed, new cars added!, new weapons, new hud icons, new radios, working clothing stores with new clothing fits and textures.

Hi everyone, i hope everyone having a nice beginning of the month, im happy to release a new build of GTA Liberty Wiseguys, tho theres still stuff to add regarding mechanics and interiors, i wanted to share the current state of the game, there's lots of stuff corrected or added in comparison to the first build i released, check some of the screenshots and read the "changelog". Also i'm compiling music to be used in the mod, with music accurate to the time period, with a radio exclusively containing classic "vietnam" rock songs, classic orchestra, balada/boleros latinos, and classic 60s hits.

Some of the most interesting additions to this build are:

new apartments where Toni Cipriani's safehouse would be by 1998 Saint Mark's (time period of GTA LCS) and more props and vegetation at Harwood junkyard

GTA 3 Saint Mark's demolished building

Corrected

New neighborhood covering the building site of Fort Staunton, i couldn't delete assets of the map without making the game to crash, so i did what i could covering.

(GTA 3 FORT STAUNTON)

Corrected

Correcte HUD icons that were incorrect to the weapons they are, different animations for some weapons (Thompson shoots exclusively from the hip, mafia style, Cops now swing with one hand, a police club)

Changelog:

Added since previous version:
-The street with the building under construction in Saint Mark's has been replaced by houses 
(imitating the home of toni cipriani)
-HUD icons have been replaced with their corresponding weapons.
-A mod has been implemented to have more immersive melee fighting mechanics.
-A new handling.dat has been implemented to imitate the driving of GTA IV.
-weapon parameters have been changed to more corresponding ones, the stances of some weapons
 have been corrected, for example, tommy will not use double weapons and will use the two-handed 
firmly sawed-off shotgun (similar aim to manhunt 1), it will increase considerably your shooting stats
upon reaching max weapon skill level.
-The construction vacant lots of Fort Staunton have been replaced with neighborhoods and buildings.
-A mod that imitates the particles of GTA Vice City has been implemented.
-implemented a mod that imitates blood and water splashes on the screen of GTA Vice City.
-Fixed the spawn color of some vehicles.
-Vegetation has been added to the Harwood Junkyard.
-A building has been added next to the Portland police station, it was designed by Artiom.
-Replaced a couple of cars, now spawns a second version of the police car at 
 the Staunton Island police station (Texture still to be modified).
-Some of the skins to be used in story mode have been implemented, such as young Truth.
-Vehicle spawning has been fixed, there were approximately 56 vehicles spawning in the game,
 the number has been increased considerably, all credits go to the modders who created 
 and uploaded their mods to different sites dedicated to hosting mods for GTA.
-Corrected the color of all vehicles.
-Added more spawnable vehicles for gang members, prostitutes and criminal npc.
-Graffiti has been added to part of Portland thanks to the code written by Artiom in 
  GTA SA:LC BETA 10, it has not been tested and I don't know if the graffiti is the amount indicated 
  by the counter.
-The code has been edited to make the streets much more used by vehicles and pedestrians.
-BUG. the marker to enter the Portland clothing store has disappeared, it is still possible to enter 
 using the trainer with ALT+7 and select the interior: Binco.
