Welcome Back!

Yes!

Almost hard to believe at this point.
That being said, yay!

Time to take it easy again

Sorry for asking to be spoon fed, I'd like some guidance on how to create your own player models for MTA. I believe some anons have made some for the server, and I've been thinking about giving it a try too, but I'm not really sure how to go about it.
Perhaps there's an add-on for a modeling program to convert existing models into the correct file types? What limitations in file size, polygon count, texture resolution etc. would need to be considered? How would I import the models into the game to test them out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>34373362
>Perhaps there's an add-on for a modeling program to convert existing models into the correct file types?
What do you use, Blender or 3DS Max?

>>34373621
I currently have Blender with the MMD importer, but it shouldn't be too tricky to adjust to another program if needed.

>>34370564
It's here! Those dreamlike days are back!

>>34373705
Download Dragonff

It's what I use to import / export models. Though there is a caveat with this tool. You can only open exported models with this tools and blender. If you try to open exported models for gtasa in 3dsmax for example, you will get an error or it will not import correctly.

If you need help, just holler. I already went though all the trouble and tricks so you don't have to.

>>34370564
And I was worried about if there will be a run for the anniversary or not. I'm glad you're back.

>>34374072
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I have the time.

The start of some archival footage i didn't want to go to waste.

It had to be friday of all days. But I will be there for the whole run.

>>34374965
Friday would be better than Saturday. It'll be up in the afternoon anyway so there's plenty of time.

Can't wait to hang out again.

>>34374924
Thanks!

>>34377391
It's afternoon only for you.

>>34370564
I'm really excited about that screenshot too, but I wanna be surprised when we see it in game!

>>34370564
Happy birthday! Looking forward to playing with /jp/ again.

>>34374924
Great work!

8 hours left?

>>34395151
15 at least from now.

>>34370564
I'm glad checking /jp/ today because I had a present for everyone. May the server last for another year!

>>34396879
very nice!

>>34370564
how do I start playing?

>>34396934
1. grab a version of GTA 1.0, either by pirating 1.0 or pirating/downloading off from steam, GTA SA and using a downgrader.
2. install it and install MTA:SA
3. wait for server to come online and grab the associated server files (which will be released when server goes live

>>34400513
aight thx, man

Oh shit it's Friday.

>>34405849
Cute kitty.

>>34396879
This is awesome, I love it! Every character looks cute in your style, very nice art of 2hus taking it easy.

>>34370564
It's back! Here's the new content for today's run, mostly txd optimizations to improve memory performance and a couple of extras https://www.mediafire.com/file/np3dddtgzoksopw/

The server will be up briefly! Here's this week's pre-download:
https://mega.nz/file/i0slDIbJ#-mUe_SH8zEphjFeQIlcxQuo8B7NPkaTSMoEr3Q4aGfE

In case you don't remember, just extract the "mods" folder into your MTA root directory (where the exe is) and merge all files.

As usual the sole rule of the server is the same as ever: act like you would on /jp/, none of that crass crossboarder slang or what have you. If you're not sure how to act - lurk and conform! I doubt I really need to mention this, but as the board's been all over the place lately it probably bears repeating. Bans are permanent and non-appealable, but the rules are lax. No one will berate you if you make an earnest attempt to follow the board culture. But, that's enough of a lazy admin's admonishments.

>>34396879
That's a really lovely drawing anon, good job.

>>34408934
Thanks for your work! Everything's set up and loaded in.

Thanks for the fun times!

>>34415525
What a wonderful ending. It was fun!

someone had mentioned wanting to have screenshoted Nue grabbing so here it is

And that's a wrap! It being the two year anniversary probably calls for some grand old speech, but I'm just about ready to keel over so I'll spare the soapy sentimentality.

Two years ago I thought I'd only be working on this server for a few weeks for maybe 4-5 anons. Two years later I'm somehow still the host, and we top off around 20-30 anons! Good times and bad, I've enjoyed my time working on this server and can hopefully continue to add more silly and fun things for a long time to come. Thank you all for playing and helping out in the server's development over all this time, even sticking through it during the times it was barely playable.

I'm not sure if any other anons were recording, but if anybody who missed it was curious about it, I can upload this year's anniversary ending later.

>>34415568
nice, just how I like my nue doujins

Thank you again for the fun times, everyone! May we take it easy for another year to come~!

>>34415536
Did you manage to walk in the lunie palace?

>>34415841
Yes. Nothing there but a big square hole that leads to space.

>>34415610
Ah what the hell, I'll go ahead and upload it now for anyone who wanted to see it. Pardon the console near the beginning.

Happy anniversary /jp/. Here's to the server that's never quite right on time.

>>34416022
What a heartwarming ED. I really appeciate it.

wish I could have been there

>>34416022
very nice ending! Wish i could've stayed to the end of the run and be there myself.

>>34415610
Thank you again for your hard work, and thanks to everyone for making this server great. It is really appreciated.

Here is that higher poly mike. Though, the one that's already made recently should be used instead since that one is more optimized for the server.

https://mega.nz/file/Pk1gnBQC#2LCp8rVyYdJjlbhETphtvs31hn9LivWcrJF9d8BDh1E

Will y'all make it at a reasonable time for Eurofags?

>>34437693
the runs are normally held on friday/saturday nights and last 5-8 hours and it should cover all timezones to some extent, some luckier than others of course.

I missed it but I find it amusing that fairies are policemen.

Please mind the speed limit when you drive down Akina.

>>34446942
Yes, you might run into something on the one way road.

>>34435192
>>34415773
Nice, only Sannyo's left and the trio will be complete.

>>34462735
>the trio will be complete.
The game releases in a week. Make way for the remaining 4.

I'm not exactly Joe Modeler here but I've been working on optimizing our vehicle models so we can have some of them back on the server. Most of the spawn vehicles and their textures have been brought down to ~1 MB with barely any discernible difference in their topology. I'll probably prioritize the next week or two to finishing them up, they're long overdue. Only 88 to go.

>>34415330
When that rule was made, it was actually referring to the /jp/ of-then about two years ago. The board was a lot slower and mellower, back then. Weird how much changed in such a short span of time, our little thread can barely keep afloat during the weekday downtime or when we're playing.

>>34416785
There'll be another time, anon.

>>34437693
Can't make any promises, but if I wake up early enough this weekend will be an AM run which will hopefully make it easier on timezones where 7~8 PM is a weird time. Was recently thinking it'd been a while since we had one anyways.

>>34435192
That's really cute.

>>34475051
>Only 88 to go

Thanks for your hard work. I think it would be best to prioritize cars that have touhou skins applied to them. The rest of the "normal" cars models are just extra flair the way I see it.

>>34475051
>>34477487
Also (not trying to speak for others here) I wouldn't mind if some cars are removed outright. I know how laborious a task this can be. Some of the customs vehicles are quite heavy in vertices amount...

>>34475051
>I'll probably prioritize the next week or two to finishing them up, they're long overdue. Only 88 to go.
That would be a lot of work, with the script I mentioned only the vehicle models close to the player are loaded, and once they are out of range they are streamed out of memory, it might be much better for performance than the normal modloader method that loads all vehicle models to memory at once, if it works out you won't need to spend all that effort optimizing the dff files.

>>34478915
Not him but how well is the script? I think the only concern would be stuttering/fps drops when it tries to stream in textures. I dont know how GTA/MTA handles texture streaming but it takes a good 10 seconds to load into spawn with car skins disabled. Arguably theres tons of textures at spawn but what will happen when you approach a group of people or in a race? etc.

Also it seems to be a memory issue in general, has anyone thought of LAA? it allows 32bit systems to address up to 4gb of ram. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/
I've used it in other older games and its very helpful i've found. I dont know if MTA:SA will like it

>>34478915
It's a lot of work, sure, but it's gotta be done sooner or later. Problem is even if you unload the models via script, you're still gonna have the same issue loop right back around for anons on low-end PCs if there are a lot of congregated players and models in one spot, especially somewhere like the Gensokyo and Tokyo maps. And of course there are performance concerns for the client as well since a script like that will need to always be running and introduce potential features.

It's just an issue with how MTA handles engineload functions, while 90% of servers wouldn't notice anything with a few replaced models here and there, nearly everything is replaced due to the nature of the server and thus the issues present with custom models are more, well, present. On the bright side once it's done it'll be easier to stay on top of, and optimizing our models is a good practice nonetheless; it should slightly improve performance in some areas and lower DL times. There's definitely no reason for there to be vehicles that are ~20 MB each rolling around if they can be reduced to a fraction of that.

I need to get around to reading this...

Found a few rare images that didn't show up when I looked for them.

mixed up the images.

wait, no I didn't.

>>34509254
Cool images nonetheless. Sort of old school, never seen them before.

Will the next hosted game really be at A.M. I wonder?

Cute images anon, thank you very much for keeping the thread alive. The GTA server will be up tomorrow, Saturday the 1st at about 7 or 8 AM EST - that's the morning!

Changes this week include the start of reintroducing custom vehicle models that have been optimized to 1 MB as mentioned previously. With any luck, my changes will allow custom vehicles without compromising the (relatively) low crash-rate. Additionally, the script provided by anon last week has been fixed; the moon zone will now sync players, and the SDM rocket will now return back to earth on it's own a few seconds after launching. Rocket technology sure is something in Gensokyo!

Also, the cinema is fixed until YouTube decides to screw me again. Videos should now be properly centered and will play without the annoying pop-up that was freezing them before.

>>34519013
>Also, the cinema is fixed until YouTube decides to screw me again. Videos should now be properly centered and will play without the annoying pop-up that was freezing them before.
Naisu!

I remembered some anon last thread (dead some time ago) asked for screenshots for some project. However that thread died before I could upload mine. Maybe it's too late by now but I'll post them anyway.

>Additionally, the script provided by anon last week has been fixed; the moon zone will now sync players, and the SDM rocket will now return back to earth on it's own a few seconds after launching.
Thank you, can't wait to try the improved rocket to the moon. For later today's run, here's a very small update, just a couple of scripts and one new item for the accessory system https://www.mediafire.com/file/vg5y64htkjicfnu/

>>34536399
Ah I forgot to mention, but an anon earlier got kicked by MTA's anti-cheat. I'm fairly sure it was a false-positive, but a fair warning in that stuff like cheat engine running even in the background can get you banned from MTA itself, and I can't save you from that! Something worth a minor word of caution.

>>34536399
Thanks for the mecha times

>>34435192
A Sannyo model for mmd was just released, can you rig it for SA?

>>34555791
big

>>34555791
>>34556499
Sure anon. I made a throw away github account just to get it. I've seen some images of other models of the UM Demo trio, but none are public I can find.
Though maybe I'm looking hard enough, I don't really follow the MMD scene all that much honestly.

Some authors require you to log on to bowlroll to download their model (logging on via twitter, facebook, or github). This isn't always necessary.
They sometimes have passwords too, but can be solved if your Japanese and your google/internet-fu is semi decent.

Speaking of MMD. Perhaps this isn't the best place to ask, but I've been looking for a model that isn't available to download from the authour anymore. If anyone here has the model I'd love if you could upload it for me, or point me in the direction to find it. I'd much rather avoid needing to use broken machine translation to attempt in contacting the authour if possible. It should be noted that the creator does have another version available from their twitter, however I'd looking for this version specifically.

The model in question is this particular Flan. I have her sister, but stupidly forgot to get them both at the time.
https://bowlroll.net/file/116905

>>34556499
Why is Sannyo-san showing off her chest?

>>34566601
I asked a few of my Japanese MMD acquaintances and not a single one of them would share it, they're too worried about breaking the redistribution rule. If you haven't already, try asking the /e/ MMD thread; the anons there usually have some pretty hard-to-find models. Failing that there's the author himself, though it doesn't look like there's any easy way to get in contact with him.

You'd think it'd be easy to find a model downloaded nearly 12,000 times, but the MMD community is weird in how difficult the models themselves can be to get. It's basically an entire thing in itself.

>>34566601
I have these, not sure if they are the exact same models as I got them from somewhere else.

>>34572425
Thank you for asking, I had feared that would be the outcome. But it seems there is still hope.

>>34573623
Yes, this is the one! It may be difficult to tell but there are some minor differences which, when comparing the two versions, made me prefer your version. Remilia's differences are much more noticeable with her hat and shirt.
Again, I would be ever so grateful if you were willing to upload the Flandre. It feels wrong to have an incomplete pair.

>>34574122
>>34566601
Here you go, have both of them https://files.catbox.moe/2qxy1f.zip

There aren't many of them, but I guess the GTA thread can double as a gunhu thread as well.

>>34585900
it feels like the models are getting higher and higher in quality as time goes on. I haven't been paying attention to them as much, but it's just an observation.

>>34595254
I wonder which girls still use the original models that were custom made for GTA?

>>34596377
Most of them (numerically) still do. Only newhus that didn't have GTA models prior and some hus that players often use have gotten new MMD-based models.

>>34600220
>new MMD-based models
Are there models already?

>>34560835
>I've seen some images of other models of the UM Demo trio, but none are public I can find.
If you haven't rigged Sannyo yet, another model has just been released, this one seems closer to her official design https://3d.nicovideo.jp/works/td77488

>>34613426
Haven't yet. The earlier one was more of a lewd design (lots of stuff under the clothes which is more effort to optimize the server, though the newer one also has a lewd variant that is not as detailed), guess i'll rig that newer one posted for now.
There is a new Takane as well. https://3d.nicovideo.jp/works/td77511

There is an nice model for the C63 cover girl but i cant find anything on the C62 CD Label Girl MMD wise (apart from the odd looking models from 首振りP).

Yeah that's the one I got. Hopefully the the author is able to release the CD label girl relatively soon.

The next time the GTA server will be up is tomorrow, Sunday, at around 7 or 8 PM EST. Don't look forward to it!

How about something a little bit different this week? It's not much, but I've been fiddling with an MMO-style thing set in the apocalypse. It's about as jank as you'd expect but there's a lot of cool features, like quests, and there's even NPC factions who'll fight each other, and that you can join. It'll be just a one-off thing like STALKER last year, but it might be fun. Figure it's good to shake you guys up once in a while.

Also, based on a suggestion I've re-added RPGs, HRPGs, snipers and some other weapons you never really see used much back to the overworld map, but with a catch - their spawn points are completely randomized, and change every few minutes so they can't be camped. I've added about 50 new spawn points, dunno if they'll get used much but the increased weapon variety and random element of it might provide some amusement.

Also considering readding hydras at least via this method too, not super sure about it but I would like to reimplement them in some manner eventually. Same with rhinos, though those are so flagrantly OP I don't really know how to balance them without some kind of handicap like making them cost money every minute of use, for example.

>>34658170
Sounds great! I'm already excited to go easter egg hunting for these new weapon spawns! With regards to the rhinos, would it be difficult to just remove their invulnerability to everything and instead give them maybe 3-5x the HP of normal cars?

Here is the hard working courtesan lady. Also some small optimizations for skins that had large texture sizes

https://mega.nz/file/bpMl2SLA#9bH0D3ayJib9iE42gO5FE1zsuUXx_9deZM1ordOg1aU

I've also had a go at making a custom playermodel. It could use some more work, but I'm satisfied for now.
There's not much optimization right now, however I hope it can be tested on the server nonetheless.
Whether it should replace the existing skin is down to the admin, yet I'm not so sure about it. Having them both available would help me to compare the two in game.

Does anyone know of any visual mods which work with MTA? There's some mods for the base game that restore the PS2 graphical effects, I was wondering if there was any support of those kinds of things here.

Do you mean the gang graffiti in the style of the gang tags from the game? I don't think they were posted in any of these "official" threads. I've been trying to search the archives, but it's impossible to sift through all the garbage trying to find any touhou gta threads.

Once the server's complete, or I'm in a state where I can no longer actually work on the server, the source'll be uploaded. Did you have something in mind to change?

While I hate to bring this up, this is the third time this month I've been questioned about releasing the server's source code to the point where it's frankly getting a bit uncomfortable now. Had I known it'd start becoming a nuisance I'd not have said anything at all. I'll make it clear - I've no intentions of abandoning the server. I like to take things at my own pace, and there's a lot to do, but I've certainly not given up on it. It's pretty much my own child so I'd like to see it finished just as much as the rest of you. Just because I don't feel like constantly hosting or working on it certainly doesn't entail having to start throwing around the idea I've quit or given up on it. Working on the server is fun for me, though time consuming, and I like seeing it evolve.

Ordinarily I bite my tongue on things like this, though a few blatant accusations I've been getting lately of quitting or rescinding my promise do put a bit of a chip on my shoulder. Unless I suddenly keel over one day you've my word the server's source will be released and that I'll continue working on it until that time.

That's not what I meant. I just want to help by improving/adding things for the server.

That's not what I meant. I just want to help by improving some of the old scripts.

You don't need the source code of the server itself to add features, you can make them as standalone lua scripts. As for updating old scripts, I think most of them are public/open source so you might be able to find them on the MTA community resources page.

>>34792206
Thank you for your hard work and keeping this project going!

>>34792206
Noted.
Don't die dude. Things are going to be getting tougher from here.

Neat, I hope models of the remaining newhus are released soon.

Takane > Nitori (for now)

You know, I always wondered if it would be possible to pull a creator style contraption with all of the assets available where you can just build stuff rather than deal with them being stationary.

>>34902054
Probably, one of the game modes we tried recently had a crafting/base building system.

>>34902054
You mean like a construction system? Sure can. Most of the stuff like DayZ, Dystopia as another anon mentioned and others all use a pretty simple method of it - by removing an objects collision, lowering the alpha and applying a shader to it, then attaching it to the front of the player you have a simple construction system that emulates object "preview" and placement.

Now if you take it a step further, you can use direction vectors to get all the sides on a model to create points that "snap" together different models if they're close enough, which creates a true building system which is closer to what you see in games like RUST. There's a bit of math involved in doing this though, so it's not a method you see much. This guy here did something similar:

Funnily enough that this should be brought up since I was fiddling around with making a MySQL based The Sims-style building system for playerhomes a few weeks ago. Still not super sold on the idea of player housing yet so it's not a high priority until I can think up actual uses for it. The former method might actually be pretty good for a simple TD mode though.

Exciting!

>You mean like a construction system?
Yeah, but more like the creator mode in 5. I was bored one day and had the insane idea to add barriers to Rhino. I knew it wouldn't work but I tried anyway. It's no surprise that the barriers didn't move once I changed modes to test it out.

>>34919307
So attaching objects to vehicles?

>>34919496
Yes.
I didn't mention it in my post apparently.

>>34919307
Sounds really cool. Seems it's the next step to our gluing obsession.

>Sounds really cool. Seems it's the next step to our gluing obsession.
It was. Just remember that the obstacles, like barriers, are bound to the world and have a fixed position. Assuming it's the same in MTA.
Originally, I wanted to see if I could pull off a makeshift spaced armor to see if it would do anything. meaningful to the tank considering they nerfed it into the dirt and never touched it again. Explosions can still damage you simply from the blast radius, but what I wanted to figure out was if it would do anything to the tank since it technically is an indirect hit; you could survive an explosion even on the other side of a thin wall- or barrier. You could fire over and over and nothing would happen IIRC.

Will there be a run this week?

>>34934845
Someone will say if there will be one if you just wait.

>>34934845
I'd said I would host for about a month or so back during the anniversary, so with that the server'll be on leave for a bit again. There should be some new stuff to look forward to next time as well.

>>34934845
maybe?

>>34950912
Take it easy, looking forward to the next run!

That'd be interesting, single player SA itself was going to have a furniture mode for the safe houses but they cut it from the final version.

Seriously?
Source on that?

There are custom characters, but what about custom weapons?

>>34982237

Dataminers found some remnants of a cut furniture buying mode a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk8l8bq7G_M

You can stop bumping the thread now...

You knew exactly what you were doing

>>35006394
I agree.
The hard part is finding more GTA images when a few already slip past me.
