22 Jun 2005 11:31 am = San Andreas: The quiet before the storm.
|
As we all divide time between actually playing the game and experimenting with modding it, naturally things have gone very quiet in terms of releases.
DRuG have begun development of a new San Andreas trainer, titled "Big Monkey", it will offer much the same interface and features as the previous version - "Big Money", but with the addition of more structured code, such that updates can be more frequent.
As we wait for modelling tools it seems most of the goodies out there are more focussed on textures and mission scripts.. the two areas where indeed the tools are complete. Shortly is seems SteveM will have a San Andreas release of MooMapper - I'll try to get [DRuG]Dome into game as soon as that happens.
In the short term I have been working on retexturing some of the planes in true DRuG style - unfortunately, at this stage you cannot replace textures due to bugs in the existing dev tools - for more information and to stay updated, watch this thread on gtaforums.
*edit* I have received a private response from Delfi that sheds light on this problem - "it is txd workshop issue, the game cannot properly stream edited txds so the cars keep loading but cannot load properly". I'll make a new news item when a working version has been released.
Trix is working on some teamspeak tools for in game, while many other projects are also being discussed.
I found a tool online where you can upload your San Andreas stats for the world to see... mine can be found by clicking here. Perhaps I should create an area in everyone's clan profile so members can have a link to their stats on our site? Let me know what you think in the comments section by clicking the controls below.
Not long until SA:MP or MTA:SA hits the ground... personally I expect SA:MP to come to the foreforont of the multiplayer GTA scene.
See you all there!!!! (hopefully soon eh?) |

Having discussed the problem directly with TXD Workshop's author, Delfi, he released a fix the very next day... gotta love these guys eh? Good to see everyone's at it already

I started some memory hacking on SanAn as soon as I had my hands on it. Already found some nice shit, if I have the time, I'll turn my findings into tools.
