San Andreas?

[blackadder18]

Hey I like Battlefield2 and all, but I would LOVE to play SA(in BF2) meaning, like a war game in San Andreas:) . But I don't know how to edit all the stuff, one map i am really looking forward to (if it is ever created) is a Las Venturas Map with Interiours and such, or an Area 69. Please forgive me if this is the wrong spot.

Good luck to whoever trys this.

[Sir. Tasty]

urrm ok , a gang war mod might be pretty cool if somone wants to develop on it

[Titch2349]

i am currently making liberty city for BF2....

its about 50% done and i will post up some screenshots if you like....

SA would be almost impossible to make- mile tooooo big, and would take years to make. The statics would be repeated sooo many times you would get bored, and it would take ages to travel round the map.


It would be more like a world than a map, which seems quite a cool idea, as you could easily have 500+ people on SA....

Wow that sounds akin to the world of MMOs although with an FPS flair. Very intersesting nonetheless.

Yes please, and I don't mean all of SA, just the LS Airport, or Area 69 :)

[Sir. Shpox]

There was a Dice City mod under construction, not sure what happened to it though, wouldn't we love San Andreas in a little bit of everything. If your willing to make it, nothing impossible.

[imported_Sir. Kain]

what do you mean nothing impossible.
This is bf2 shpox.... BF2. you should of really said with bf2 eveythings impossible.

[Jedi_Joe]

lol Kain,
and Titch could you put some screenshots up?

[litefire]

meh, i think its pretty lame IMO i hate Grand Theft Auto but it would be a kool change to battlefield mods

[Titch2349]

Right.... here are some screenshots for the map you are all so dying to see. :D

My idea behind making the LCS series, is to make all the islands as separate maps, otherwise the map would be huge.

All these screenshots are from the Portland Island map, but it is a MIP (map in progress), and as such has no lightmaps (makes everything not look so shiny), sky (you can see right across the map atm), environmental maps (makes the water reflect), no proper control points, no combat area etc etc.

If people are intrested in the map, then i will keep posting screenshots as the map progresses, and as such you should hopefully see it been developed.

The screenshots are just the basic layout of the map, i intend to put all the basic roads, buildings etc into the map (The stage that i am curently at), then go back and add things such as lamposts, general clutter around the map etc etc.

First of all, this is the minimap of what the map looked like at 19:57 today :D

Hopefully you can see where i have literally stopped working.

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/Titch249/minimap.jpg

Now you can see the minimap, i shall expalin all the 'random' lines you can see..... Since i am actually copying a map, and not inventing one myself, i wanted the map to be as realistic and as exact as possible. 2 things that i thought would really help me in getting the map as exact as possible is the layout of the map, and the roads. The random lines are the roads, and the poor edges of the maps are the effect of me crudly designing the heightmaps of the map in photoshop. Obviously i am limited with the buildings i use, as i can only use ones that are currently included with BF2.

The problem with the edges of the map, is that the LCS series was designed to have no access to water- as you cant swim, i have had to therefore use my own disgression to add beaches etc, to allow soldiers to get around the island easier.

Hopefully now you can see what i am getting at- The map looks crap because it is work in progress, in about a month time it will look a lot better :D

Please ignore the black undergrowth- its because i havent generated lightmaps

any questions/ comments/ critisism is welcome. The map is also playable if anyone wants to play it.... just ask me and ill upload it

[blackadder18]

I like the idea of you mmaking it war type, but where are the roads? I don't reconize LC :p Other than that It seems you are doing good, although i dont know where you are in the pics :p

[Titch2349]

look at the minimap image... the roads are teh grey areas on the map.... dont say the roads arnt in the same place as they are in portland (apart from a few centimetres) because i spent hours manually painting them on :D

[Spork]

That is very very cool, When is the ETA for the first release?

Cheers :)

humm..... probably around 1 month time- middle of october....

cheeers for your intrest :cool:

[DiseasedKidDK]

Looking great! Can't wait for it to finish, im sure it's gonna be a hit! And yeah! I woulld love to try it out, see if there could be some things that might need a caring hand! Sure im ready

[Spork]

I would be quite happy to test the game for you, and inform you of any bugs or other mishaps with it.

I am a passionate GTA and BF2 player so yea.

I will be awaiting any more info :D

Keep up the wicked work!

Cheers :)

[[UK]=A$H=]

lol nice one. I'll be looking forward for updates. ;)

Maybe make it smoggy with a grimy feel etc.

[Ottae]

Finally, a Liberty City you can swim in!

[imported_funk3h]

Finally, a Liberty City you can swim in!

HAHA, lmao.

Yeah, looking good i guess. Keep it up.

[Titch2349]

Cheers for the comments again guys....

Just incase anyone wants to download the map.....

[imported_funk3h]

Thats the map completed?

[Titch2349]

Thats the map completed?

no.... thats the map as it is atm

[Spork]

Nice one so far, theres quite a few things I spotted that are wrong so far but I will leave it until the "beta"/ complete map before I embaress myself.

Cheers :)

[Jedi_Joe]

you should put Armoured Fury (i dont think i spelled it right) buildings in

[Titch2349]

you should put Armoured Fury (i dont think i spelled it right) buildings in

prehaps....but 1) i dont have armored fury, so i cant get the models, and 2) i is against the law, as i am giving away models that EA made to sell..

[midnitebassist]

Dude. Liberty City is looking amazing. I can't wait for the final release. I sense some awesome movies made from that.

[Spork]

Are you going to model the hills and everything? Because I notice at the moments its completely flat?

Cheers :)

[Eternal-Souljah]

Looking good, would make a pretty good AA map aswell.

Funny if you could add civilians and the GTA vehicles, suppose you could skin them and model them but that would take a long time.

[Titch2349]

Cheers :)

yes i will.....

the reason it is flat, is because BF editor needs black and white heightmaps..... the image i used to mould the terrain outline didnt even show the height of the terrain, let alone in the right format for Bf editor to understand.

I am doing it as i go along, and i am optimistic that it will look similar to the real LCS heights

Looking good, would make a pretty good AA map aswell.

Funny if you could add civilians and the GTA vehicles, suppose you could skin them and model them but that would take a long time.

Yup... my intention is to add helicopter and planes aswell, the boat at the south docks will become/ is already the Us carrier, and going against everything i planned to do with the map with keepeing it as similar as possible, i intend to tranform the docks at the top of the map into an airport for the defending team

[Spork]

Cool, It is your mod after all, you can do what ever you want with it, the main thing is that we are going back to Liberty City, except with absolutely blooming well great graphics (Compared to GTA3)

Thankyou so very very much for your modification, cant wait for it!

EDIT: Umm just a report, but after spending a bit of time on your partial map, when you leave the area where in GTA3 it has Joey's missions (the little oval part near where you start in BF2) as you driv along next to what would be the police station, why is there buildings there? Will they be removed? Because I can remmember in GTA3 I always used to go flying across the grass there onto the main road. Also it is no where near as hilly and no where near as many trees there.. Sorry to be a bother but I just hope to the heavens that this mod turns out well.

Also how much progress have you made? I'm just wandering.. It doesnt matter too much but I would love to see the final version, it will be like GTA3 but with less violence.

On a last note, would it be ok with you if I was to use your map to make a video for a website? GTA Domain? (http://gtadomain.gtagaming.com/forums/index.php?)

If not that is ok, just wandering.

Cheers :)

[Titch2349]

Hi again... thanks for taking an intrest in the map, and thanks for testing it out.

the reason why i added buildings where the shouldnt be, is that when i tried it without buildings, it looked like something was missing, it didnt look right just having an empty space joining the road... however, i have got the map open right now as im typing..... and see what you mean.

So... i think the best option will be to take away either of these 2 buildings....

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/Titch249/screen006-1.jpg

or.....

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/Titch249/screen007-1.jpg

I personally think the best option will be to get rid of the building in the second picture.

I also see what you mean about the bumpiness of the terrain, and the density of the trees.. not only do the trees stop you from bombing over the terrain, to smash into the buildings that will be removed :D, but the bumpiness of the terrain blows up the vehicles before it even reaches the trees.....

I will therefore decrease the amount of trees by about 1/2 - 2/3, and will also flatten the terrain.

Since i uploaded the map, i have done... this much....

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/Titch249/minimapnow-1.jpg

compared to....

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/Titch249/minimap.jpg

the area i am on now, is the area where all the heights are changing.....

and.... i have no problems with you using the map to make a video with it..... :D

I am still optimistic that the map will be finished by mid october!

Geez that would be realy great... no armors but jeeps and city vehicles, also no ATs but only urban gear for gang war madness!!! :)

[Spork]

Wicked, Thankyou again for making such a great manp.. I'm just curiosu but will there ever be a Shoreside vale mod/ extension and a Staunton Island Mod? I dont really care if there isnt but just wandering.

Also will this be a map with singleplayer enabled or is it just one for multiplayer?

Cheers :)

I was planning to make one for shoreside vale, and for staunton island, but since BF2142 is coming out this autumn, i will wait and see how many people transport to 2142... as otherwise there will be no point in making them.

Depending on when the 2142 Editor is released to the public, i might make the remainder of the GTA LCS series on Bf2142.

Yup.... unless any unexpected problems arouse with the singleplayer support, Portland Island is expected to have singleplayer

[Spork]

Wicked, I'm looking forward to it!

Cheers :)

[Spork]

Any more news on the mod?

Cheers :)

[Drifterboy]

sorry to bring this OLD OLD thread back from the grave but how is this Map going

[Hawkers]

good job matey, yar

[Sike]

have you moved on to bf2142, cos i think u should really make it only for bf2.

[=CDU=Junkoe]

It's a big challenge to get a San Andreas type of game mode an map in BF2.

You are better off just playing GTA:SA Multiplayer. There are 2 groups that make mutliplayer mods for that game. One is SA-MP and the other is MTA.

Those use the base game and enable multiplayer. GTA-SAMP supports up to 200 people per server, and many many configs an modifications. Some servers run roleplay servers which allow you to purchase real estate an what not. Others are straight up death match or team death match. There are even ones that run gang warfare so you pick what gang to fight for an just roll around with your crew in a car an go mess with all other gangs.

Nothing quite as fun as rollin around in a 4 seater car with 3 team mates hangin out the windows an comin up on an opposing gang and just having a couple drive bys and then stopping in the street for a good ole fashioned shoot out.

[*FMJ*Power]

there is a gta style mod for battlefield Vietnam but i doubt you'll find a server.
