Staredit Network

Well, I have seen a lot GTA maps on B.net and SEN and they all were crap . But since GTA map is a pretty good idea people still play these and hope to find a good GTA. And this is our spot. MRS will make a new, good and fun GTA map. Well, basically I will make the map but I need your ideas, suggestion, ratings and probably terrain help. I have few ideas that I haven't seen in any GTA map but I will reveal them later.

I have done some basic terrain. And made it compatible for a terrain test. Please rate this terrain, report bugs and suggest things(possible please). Also it is 128x128 if you think that it should be expanded to 256x256 then please say so.

The map will be based on classic GTA 1 and 2. Because these are best for SC map. I really don't want to rush this map so it can be closer to perfect.

The map is protected so nobody can just make his noob GTA crap on my terrain. Drive around the map with vulture. Use "black sheep wall" if you want to view the entire map but that won't be needed.

So how does this pertain to the Map Restoration Society if:
1. It's a new map, not necessarilly a restoration.
2. It's your map, as you stated above, and therefore can just be considered your own project.
3. (The below quote)

I'm not saying the map will be bad, but I think it isn't right that you'll basically be making this alone and under the facade of an MRS project.

Well, I just can't find a way that multiple people make 1 map. And if MRS members give me good ideas, decent pieces of terrain for the map or give me any other help it can be called a MRS project. And it is considered remake since I want to make this only because all other GTA maps are pure crap .

Maps made by 2 or 3 people is not that hard as long as they get a long and know what they each want from the map.

And MRS does remake maps so this could be considered a MRS project.

Ok I have started on expanding map to 256x256. So you can download the terrain I posted as a demo of real terrain. And please post your ideas, nice peaces of terrain and maybe good trigger systems.

ADDITION:
Ok I made some screen...

*A basic building. All buildings will be made by this technique

*Center of Z village
[attachmentid=13633]

*Dockside in little Rio
[attachmentid=13634]

Car shop
overpaint & repair<---Left Right--->"Roadkill mines"
[attachmentid=13635]

Please suggest stuff while I make terrain.

i like the terrain, something that should be nice to see is some docks, bridges, a nice Jail

Any thoughts for a nice bridge, jail.

Nice... But did anyone else notice the two dead bodies on the Dock Picture?

Uh, the screen is from scmdraft2 and I had some units for tests. I killed them before screen shot but eh...

Oh, ok. That would explain why (I love SCMDraft, I really don't prefer Starforge, and who can resist being able to kill your units with SCMDraft when you delete them?)

I prefer draft basically for copy/paste option and and nice editing conditions ...

Just to let you know, I prefer it because it is less buggy then Starforge, looks nicer, has some more features (Not trigger editor is not a problem for me), and I like the Copy and Paste to. Especially useful on Instillation maps.

Well, actually I use them all. SCMDraft2 for terrain and stuff, SCXE for triggers and texts/descriptions, SF for custom colors and stacking option.

Have you asked UED77 about this?

About what? About making a MRS's map? He maybe is our original leader but I haven't seen him for a long time and I think that he will stay just author of this idea....

Sorry, but he's still our leader. It seems to me that your just trying to give your map project official "authority" by putting MRS's name onto it.

"authority"? What do you mean by that. I am just trying to get some decent ideas and help from you.


Yea, keep living in illusions. BTW why you care you haven't been active MRS member anyway.

Nice terrain etc but are u add something like sidewalks in the game or are the civs gonna be walking on the street as well with the cars? Because it will feel awkward.. And how many buildings will be place throughout the game & can we enter some of them? Oh and that map up there has an error. .

Error? What error?

I am thinking about some kind of trigger that does not alow civilians to walk on streets. Please suggest something about this.

There will be a lot buildings. I have done only 30% of terrain. But SCMDraft's new copy/paste feature helps a lot.

I am not sure about enter but you will be able to get on roof's of some buildings. You can't enter buildings in GTA 1 and 2.

Also I will look over every suggestion and idea posted here because I haven't started any triggering yet.

Error loading scenario something like that

Oh crap... You are right. Damn uber@tion. Can't attach a new 1 because I don't have it anymore and won't attach that I am working on. Anyway you can see my building pattern in screenshots.
