GTA Vice City+

Over the xmas i got myself a joypad for my laptop, needless to say this rekindled my love for the GTA series on the pc. So I played Vice City for several hours, possibly a day or two and eventually got pissed off at not seeing any renaults or decent european cars in there.

I went about stripping out the game to add some renaults, I dont do 3d modelling myself however there are plenty of places to get new cars etc.

One week later and what started as a simple mission to add some cars became a complete game overhaul. Sticking to originality I only used cars that could have been seen driving about in the eighties, mainly european.

I then went about altering the city, new buildings, bridges, shop fronts, billboards etc, all these being actual shops etc not fictional ones, threw a few other nice new touches in there too such as roads, race tracks etc.

After which I was thinking whats the point in a new game without new missions etc, so I have now replaced a few missions, removed some of the shit ones, altered some existing ones to be better and added some new features in such as being able to call taxis on your mobile, lock car doors, new weapons all round. New facilities in your homes such as larger wardrobes and also fucked around with the frame limiter etc.

Other random fun stuff is the new addition of a fuel gague, and its functional, youre tank can run dry unless you fuel up, also i added the speedometre mod for it too, all gta games should have had speedos.

The result, a new GTA set in Miami in the 80's as the original one was. New hi-res cars, new scenery, new buildings, new missions, new options and a new soundtrack.

All in all I just did this because I had the time to and I prefer european cars, in effect I accomplished nothing except making myself happy for a few mioments...

Car list:
Alfa 146, detomasso mangusa, iveco daily, toyotta corrolla coupe (AE86), Land rover defender, ford sierra RS, lancia delta integrale, renault 12 (barryd gang car), delorean DMC12, ferrari dino, renault 12, audi quattro, ferrari 288 GTB, Navistar International 9800, rolls silver serpah limo, ford pinto, Mazda MX5, vauxhall nova, renault 4, ford transit, ford bronco, bmw 633 coupe, fiat ritmo, mitsubishi sigma, vw scirocco, daf trashmaster, nissan silvia, mini cooper, austin metro, chrysler pickup, peugeot 205, fiat panda, plaxton paramount, vauxhall cavaleir, saab 900, nissan 200, alfa romeo strata, ford mustang, vw golf, peugeot 205 gti, fiat uno turbo, ford mustang gt fastback, lotus esprit turbo, honda crx, mercedes 190d, ford cortina
there are more but i couldnt think of them opff hand, also i couldnt get a R19 or an R5 that was compatible with vice city sadly so ive had to do without, still looking though

Yes I am a pathetic looser nerd fuckwit and I love it

(Next up GTA3 and GTA San Andreas)

yeah the getaway was a blatant rip job of gta, my goal for the gta:sa mod is to turn the car showroom into a renault one with the most retro of renaults inside
 
i play no computer games asides gta ones, always played them on a console till i realized how much they could be bastardized on the pc, some of the renaults in the new one will be: 4, 5turbp, 5 maxi, 11, 12, 19 (ph2 hatch), megane, safrane, velsatis, laguna 1 & 2, master, kangoo, magnum and hopefully more
 
My gta stopped working, gotta reinstal it, shouldnt of tried to copy the game save off my old laptop :(

hope you're gonna add the supervan
 
i reckon the supervan will be involved, i have the 19 itself so all i really need to do is blank out the rear windows and we're onto a winner...

been meaning to get pics of it in action, i will prob get around to it this evening
