Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
All I have done is create a huge map and then used the actual game map (paper map or pics from the web) and turned it into a 16384x16384 image (retaining aspect ratio). The image was a 750 meg TGA file -- I then chopped it using tgasplit and imported into ed42. Basically all you have is the layout for you to then put objects onto. I did create a bit of the city but soon realised it would take untill I die to actually recreate the whole thing.... makes you appreciate the original mappers of Vice!
How are you importing the vice city objects? some kinda 3dmax plugin?
