Driver Madness

Nice job, materials converted to GIMS materials, but i was expecting to see the city without ENB in fact.

You agree too?

Well i did not think for a second to ENB so yes i agree.

GTARandom was the one who did the conversion as he has far superior knowledge of GTA IV's inner workings than I do... and I was not the one who did the video, my PC does not run GTA IV that well sadly (Its optimized for Intel CPU's and my PC is an AMD A10)

AMD A10's aren't necessarily the most powerful AMD processor out there, my FX 6300 plays GTA IV at pretty high settings with some insane framerates.

its just a $500 laptop im using, nothing special... and yea GTA IV's PC Port was messed up for AMD's... although if you have a powerful PC you can Brute Force it to work...

Laptops.... I don't need to say anything more. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of portable gaming, but laptops have a terrible strength/heat balance.

Imagine if it were easier to make an entire Driver 2 conversion for GTA V.



If GTA V has modding support.
Reflections should partner with GTA and remake their standout games in rockstars engine as a purchasable modification.
Maybe a bit of a silly idea, haha. But it would be interesting to explore all driver in GTA's engine.
Too bad the old files reflections worked on to make the game are probably long gone.

What happened the archiving everything... maybe they did and there not telling us.

GTA has never had any modding "support" from R* whatsoever, never will. Although they have no problems whatsoever with the modding community (they've featured vids of GTA IV mods on RGSC and they also used Simple Native Trainer and ICenhancer in the GTA IV scenes in the movie "Meltdown" in GTA V) The idea of Reflections partnering up with R* is not going to happen and is impossible as well.

got someone converting Havana to GTA III, hopefully it turns out well lol

Sounds good actually. Too bad Driver 2 wasn't a newer game (meaning PS2, Xbox, PC). There would've been some more detailed areas like Driv3r

yea, but then again we have people who can model things in the game...

Definitely! Like that post when I put a feltzer engine into the Nice convertible

here is a test that was done of an on the fly vehicle converson




ok so I went through all the level models on both discs and even the beta disc....

I was wondering why there are missing textures?

I logged a list of missing textures for each city... all are "Page_#.TGA" with the # being replaced by a number...
any answers?


also I tried converting the maps from Driver 1 but this is all I get... (NY Map, but happens to LA, Miami, SF maps aswell)



Any Ideas?

I can provide raw vertex and texture data from my viewer (), but you'd need to write a script or a plug-in to import those. And material information might have gone missing.

Hmm where did you get that Driv3r Taxi? I'd like that mod (it fits better with GTA SA though imo) but it's good cant see to see a total conversion of one of the driver games one day

PSX Driver 1 maps are not supported for now, but sector locations works as well. I haven't worked on it since I develop Driver Syndicate.

I am nowhere near advanced enough to write a script to import everything, but I may know someone who can

so toss em my way please

its all good lol, tho I am loving that program. hopefully after you release Driver Syndicate you can go back and fix some of the smaller bugs and expand upon it abit more to support other games in the series

Here it its: http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/jEWYiLQp/file.html

In Driver/Data/<levelname>, you'll find seven files:

• *.r8g8b8c8 – this is just all textures from the level, in 256×256, one after another.
• *.alphatested – for each triangle in the level with transparency on it, three vertices in the format
  Code: Select all

  float x, y, z
  byte r, g, b
  byte textureIndex (in the r8g8b8c8 file)
  byte u, v
  ushort unused

• *.gouraud – for each triangle in the level which does not have any texture on it, three vertices in the format
  Code: Select all

  float x, y, z
  byte r, g, b
  byte unused

  You may want to assign a white texture to those.
• *.shadows – for each triangle in the level belonging to a shadow, three vertices in the format
  Code: Select all

  float x, y, z;
  byte textureIndex (in the r8g8b8c8 file; set color to black and use alpha channel only)
  byte unused
  byte u, v

• *.solid – just like *.alphatested, but all the triangles are fully opaque (you may want to merge it with .alphatested; they had only been seperated for performance reasons)
• *.sprites for each triangle in the level belonging to a sprite (trees!), three vertices in the format
  Code: Select all

  float x, y (left and upwards relative to center of the sprite)
  float centerX, centerY, centerZ
  byte textureIndex
  byte unused
  byte u, v

  This is because sprites rotate while you move through the level; you will likely merge all vertices with the same center to one object.
• colors – environment data. Not imported from the original files; I made it up myself.
  Code: Select all

  float skyR, skyG, skyB
  float sunX, sunY, sunZ
  float sunR, sunG, sunB

byte is an 8-bit unsigned number; ushort is a 16-bit unsigned number, and float is a 32-bit single-precision floating-point number. Always, the number of items in a file ist just size of file / size of item.

I guess he extracted the taxi from the game's files with Antilli.

sh*t, i'd like to know how to make a car mod for GTA, I've only done it on GTA Vice City with Zmodeler2 and it had issues

Watch your private messages.

ok im back after school/family/game hacking had killed my free time.

Anyone know why the textures are corrupted on vegas?

Looks like you used the Chicago textures on the Vegas models!

The Obj model should load the corresponding mtl file, so yes that's weird.

everything seems fine in the .mtl file



could it be a bug in the program? something might be redirecting it to extract the chicago textures for vegas

That's strange because i imported the map in 3ds Max, and i didn't had this issue.

Maybe it's related to how 3ds max handles .obj files?

Ss4gogeta0 wrote:could it be a bug in the program? something might be redirecting it to extract the chicago textures for vegas

Did you put the level in a "levels" folder ?

I didn't put it in this folder and my .mtl file looks like this
