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.

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.

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

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

Image


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...
Code: Select all
Rio Missing 49, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69

Vegas Missing 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 26, 33, 35, 43, 50, 56, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68

Chicago Missing  46, 47, 49, 54, 55, 56, 57, 61, 64, 66, 67, 70

Havana Missing 38, 39, 42, 43, 44, 45, 48, 49

Havana 38 & 39 are found in the Beta Disc
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)

Image

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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