Hell yeah brother! I'm glad you're okay now!

Looks like I'm calling out that night

>>43275281
Post download links then

>>43275281
Glad to know your situation has improved enough to host again, I thought there wasn't going to be an anniversary event this year.

I'm glad I woke up to this, welcome back!

I'll need links as well

>>43275281
Very nice

>>43275281
sounds like a blast, do you have a link for the files?

>>43275281
Have an outing arranged but I'll do everything in my power to come back in time for it. Thanks for doing this, hope things are looking up for you!

Really warms my kokoro to see anons still remember these events fondly.

>>43275470
>>43277800
>>43280644
I've been playing around with a few things, so the actual mod pre-install will probably be posted the day of the anniversary (roughly 2 days from now) as usual, maybe less give or take depending on how quickly I finish things up.

Otherwise, if this is your first time playing, all you need is GTASA and MTASA. Any copy of GTASA will work - if you're using a pirated copy, just make sure it's a version 1.0 copy, or else you can use a 1.0 downgrader. The rest of the mods are typically posted earlier on the day the server will be hosted, since things are usually edited up to the last minute in true cram fashion.

>>43281341
lmao, i think my dad has GTA SA on a floppy disc or something still.

Feels like forever ago.

I found an archive.org link with lots of views to a exe of the game which is reportedly 1.0 but its small as shit
I've genuinely never installed a PC game all I do on PC is emulate is this right

>>43281714
My guy, that thing had to fit on a CD or something.
That's 1.2 GB at maximum, assuming double layered CD's are used.
It's small because the textures are low res, the models have only got a few dozen vertexes, and audio is compressed as shit for the most part.

>>43281714
do you want to share the link?

>>43281745
https://archive.org/details/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreasPC
Looking at the ZIP precisely

>>43281770
Virus don't click

>>43281770
>ZIP
That's just the patch to crack it. The actual game is the ISO file (ISO is a container for CDs basically). You'll have to download some program like Clonedrive to open it.

>>43281770
Why is it just dolphin porn?

>>43281805
Thanks for the spoonfeed, didn't even know PCs used ISOs but I see them in the format of 6th Gen emulators
I really am bad at this, but this should work

>>43281714
This link was posted a lot in the previous threads, and seems to have worked for anons.

https://miscellaneous-c.blogspot.com/2019/05/download-gta-san-andreas-pc.html

If you search the previous threads through the archive you'll probably find more, I suggest looking around and using whatever you feel comfortable using - literally any version of SA will work as long as you downgrade it if it's not already a 1.0 version, including the CD version, Steam etc.

Like the other anon mentioned, GTASA is a very small game; a product of it's time. The small filesize is normal.

>>43281828
Turned out that might have actually been a virus, lmao
but yeah the game should be no bigger than a gig, probably the 634MB limit on a single CD.

>>43281839
i found one online that says it's only 878MB but i don't really think it is

>>43281839
But the game was actually released on DVD, right? I mean, being a DVD player was a big part of the PS2's success.
The internet archive ISO is probably fine, I've never had a problem with IA games before. It's most trustworthy than some random ass blogspot site, anyway.

>>43282381
>>43281770
>>43281805
Both the blogspot and Internet Archive ISOs are legit. The only thing that might give people false positives is the no disc patch, but you only need it if you want to play the single player game, you don't even need to download it for MTA.

After you install the game, you need to install the MTA client, get it here: https://multitheftauto.com/
Then wait until the host posts the server files on Sunday.

>>43282381
Shit yeah, found the box and it was DVD.
DVD can't hold all *that* much more data though.
So under a dozen gig tops, more like three.
Like I say, it was my dad's not mine.

GTA:SA 1.0 Download:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/kfk9krdkc3hjncy/GTA_San_Andreas_-_mixmods.com.br-001.7z/file

>>43282864
Password is mixmods.com.br

For those running Linux, repostan' the guide from another anon:

When running MTA:SA under Wine, youll probably get an error saying it failed to 'validate your serial'.
You have to download and RUN the MTA:SA server as root. You need to CONNECT to the MTA server, so set it up!
https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Installing_and_Running_MTASA_Server_on_GNU_Linux
At that point, you'll be able to connect to the /jp/ server. The game will probably crash.
In your install folder, you must COPY the following files from MTA to MTA/CEF:
libcef.dll chrome_elf.dll icudtl.dat v8_context_snapshot.bin snapshot_blob.bin
And that's it. It worked for me. Hope it helps!

>>43282864
Is this safe? It looks about right but I'm not trusting every random file I get off of mongoloid basket weaving forums, no offense.

>>43282966
It's a virus. Also, it's Brazilian. See >>43282920

>>43282977
Goddamnit.
Well at least I wasn't held ransom for $5

I'm going to give this a few days and let other smarter anons test for nigerian malware.

>>43283019
Imagine if it ended up being rensenware lmao.

>>43283041
Not to knock on the skill of the typical anon here, but I guarantee you a lot of anons here would be screwed. At least you'd see a good bump in the gameplay thread's traffic for a few days.

>>43282966
It is. It's from mixmods a very trusted source for gta mods.
https://www.mixmods.com.br/

>>43283071
Yeah, no, not buying that brazillian domain name no more.

>>43283071

That's my wife you're speaking to

>>43283140
This board is dying and you want more people to leave?

>>43283192
I said the forbidden b-word, someone inform the jammies so they can dispense of me humanely.

>>43283192
/jp/ is long dead. Vtubers already killed off the comfy threads, and the youths who are unwilling to observe the board's culture are just the cherry on top. What I want is the defiled corpse of this board to finally be buried.

mods doko

>>43283217
Is the b-word like banned here or something?

>>43283252
What's funny is that there's an entire board dedicated to Vtubers

you wanna argue? fight me in haystack platform parkour

>>43283281
An entire board that was made specifically because they were drowning out all discussions here. And once it was made, they were allowed to stay here for reasons totally unknown to anyone capable of actual thought.

Don't turn this into a meta thread...

Can you "people" please go back to the gaming general instead of turning this thread into another one of your discord chatrooms?
Or at the very least try to put some effort into your posts and talk about things related to the server.

>>43283275
Fuck me if I know or care, but every time I see someone use it even though it's pretty much worked it's way into colloquial english by now, i keep seeing someone quote it and tell them to leave (Like that'll work).

>>43283275
It outs you as disgusting newfag crossboarder

all of this because someone said based LOL

>>43283349
It happened to me once

>>43283374

>>43283366
Oh so it's better if i don't use it

>>43283380
Marisnort.

>>43283341
What are you even talking about?

>>43283386
I'm pretty sure every thread has that one guy who actually cares about this kind of thing, but i've been here long enough to not give a shit about being called a newfag.

>>43283400
That's kind of keyed

>>43283400
Oh ok


Nice okuu pic btw

>>43282864
Almost forgot! Replace the gta_sa with the cracked one:
https://sharemods.com/qh5fawbtgxu4/SA_EXE_1.0_US_Hoodlum___Largeaddress.7z.html

>>43283424
It's the only one I have, i've been recognized before and don't want to use files that i've named.
Probably pointless, but hey who cares.

>>43283446
Oki have a nice day

>>43283436
You only need this for the singleplayer, MTA has it's own exe so those paranoid about the patched exe don't need to install that.

>>43283325
I still don't understand why hololive threads get a fuckton of replies in mere seconds

>>43283504
Bots, why else.

I packed up and uploaded my 1.0 install, I think it should work. I don't remember how MTA is pointed at it as I installed it years ago, but heres hoping for the best.
https://mega.nz/file/KMt0RCza#pLKm2sirXIeNm9xBCgmZ1sx6sUPNG4s3sTVMmHZG1Kc

>>43283504
It's just idol culture, but vtubers have more appeal than regular idols. Maybe if people gatekept harder we could've kept it off the board, but clearly no one cares for upholding standards anymore

since it's the anniversary, do anons have any special memories of times on the server?

>>43283531
I feel like they're doing this on purpose, like can't they just go on /vt/ ?

>>43283542
Christmas and New Year's events were super comfy. I can't believe I'm nostalgic about 2019...

>>43283573
Holoniggers will be holoniggers.
And the jannies are in on it, since any serious mention of how fucking annoying they are gets deleted.
I've been banned like three times over the last few months because of their retarded antics.
You'd think such a huge problem would be dealt with once they realised the trannies were enabling them, but no.

>>43283601
I guess jannies don't give a fuck anymore

Don't fight about things unrelated to the server. It's something that shouldn't be marred by negativity

>>43283626
Yeah you're right

wha- what?...

>>43283737
welcome to the bitcoin mining botnet anon

>>43283784
I misread bitcoin as lolicon
That would be weird, but Lolicoin sounds like a good name for a meme token.

Is there a reason why the game is locked to 36 frames for me?

>>43283880
Are you on the single player mode or you joined a random server?

>>43283974
I think I figured out what the problem was so nvm

Too many links (and viruses) ITT got me confused. If I have a copy of GTA SA v1.0 I used before on these threads it should work, right?

>>43284058
It should, just install the MTA client and find out.

>>43282930
Lol, that was my guide. Thanks for posting it again.
>>43282966
>>43284058
>>43283019
Any old copy of SA will work. I've used this one the last few times and it's fine.
https://archive.org/details/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreasPC

For buyfags or those too paranoid about the free links, there's a list of the legit versions that should work with MTA https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Where_to_buy_GTASA

>>43284349
Too bad it got taken off steam because the broken definitive edition rockstar shoveled out replaced it

>>43284349
>Can't buy on steam
>Can't buy on r*
Amazing. Anyways i tried looking on the usual sites for torrents but can't find anything, what the hell.

here's a link to a gdrive that started being hosted by the gta speedrunning community after r* made the 3d era games unreasonably difficult to obtain 'legally'. maybe someone will be more comfortable using this over the alternatives in this thread

T-This isn't dolphin porn...


This is..... octopus porn?!?! H-How do they even get ahold of things like this?!

>>43286491
Well, as they say, to get some octopussy, you have to crack a few beaks

no link to the downgraded gta sa?

>>43284158
Which download did you get from this link?

important question: does silentpatch help vanilla game or multiplayer as well?

>>43286615
also a thing to note: perhaps everyone needs to install this patch to prevent random disconnections. perhaps it would fix some bugs as well

>>43286623
>>43286615
I'm afraid MTA doesn't use silentpatch even if you've installed it for singleplayer. It would be a bit bizarre if it was that easy to install mods, since the MTA devs seem to be obsessed with having an unbeatable anticheat.

>>43286570
Every copy linked ITT is the downgraded SA.

>>43286615
>>43286623
Single player mods like silentpatch don't work in MTA, which already includes some fixes anyway.

>>43282930
I have like 2 fps when I'm running GTA:SA on wine. I have no idea how to fix this shit.

I'm downloading the ISO from the archive, anything I should know about running it? Will MTA & Mods take a while to install? My internet isn't very good.

>>43290399
Fixed it, never mind.

>>43290725
What did you do?

>>43290875
I was drunk and I forgot to install lib32 utils on my new arch install.
sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils

>>43290875
>>43290875
I was drunk and I forgot to install lib32 utils on my new arch install.
<span class="sjis">sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils</span>

so is there a guide for this?

>>43291839
installation?

step 1: create folder and name it gta sa
step 2: download gta sa version 1.0
https://miscellaneous-c.blogspot.com/2019/05/download-gta-san-andreas-pc.html
step 3: install MTA https://multitheftauto.com/
step 4: download 2hu mods, link will be available soon

>>43275281
Rare and elusive or not, I'm glad this can still be hosted after all this time!
We are still using the nightly 1.5.9 build of MTA, yes?

>>43283542
On the topic memories. Quite a bit of time ago I said was interested in making a photobook of sorts and asked anons here to send me what they wanted share at the time. Well here it's is after many months of doing everything but this. Hope it brings some good memories!

>>43292262
I was wondering if that photobook project was still going to be done, very nice presentation! I didn't get to contribute any screenshots unfortunately, maybe for a second part.

>>43291855
No, a guide for the game. I am stuck at part where where alice shoots at fairies on the train.

>>43292520
yea ill show you the guide. its in my safe house

>>43292520
I hate that part where yuyuko orders like a meal for six people, she's such a fat fuck.

>>43292262
This is great! Thank you for putting this together. I hope we can make even more memories from now on.

won't be able to make it...

>>43292262
That's incredible! It's really nostalgic seeing all these old screenshots, did you make those backgrounds yourself? Very cool use of positioning and colors, the final few pages were especially lovely.

>We are still using the nightly 1.5.9 build of MTA, yes?
I'm greatly interested in the 1.6 beta which just recently released, and seems to boast a massive amount of bugfixes including patching up memory leaks and synchronization issues, along with other stuff relating to performance. It'll be a pain to rollback if anything major breaks on the anniversary though so we'll probably stick to 1.5.9 for it.

If there winds up being a post-anniversary run I'll update the server to 1.6, if only since a brand new version number is pretty big and I'm interested in seeing all the changes/whatever it breaks that I need to fix. For reference, we've been on 1.5 for 4 years and it seems like they've rolled out quite a few stops for the new major build., particularly noteworthy is the ability to load IMG containers via script and a ton of fixes to the core resources it uses. All in all, it seems pretty promising and I'm hopeful it fixes some of the jankier engine bugs that have plagued us for a while.

Since I feel like rambling; I've also upgraded my internet again! I'm on a gigabit plan now. It's anybody's guess how well it'll actually translate in-game, but it's a pretty considerable upgrade from what the server was running off of before. No more random internet cutouts every 15 minutes like the good old days.

>>43292262
I never played the server from a few years ago but I do have around 15 hours of footage I could go through for screenshots if you ever do another one of these.

>>43293040
MTA 1.6's changelog sounds really good, especially the memory leak fixes.

>particularly noteworthy is the ability to load IMG containers via script
What's the advantage of that feature? The documentation doesn't says much.

>>43293153
>What's the advantage of that feature? The documentation doesn't says much.

As the name implies, it lets you load up GTA's IMG's and call up any of the data contained within, just like singleplayer SA basically. Essentially, it's a new way of replacing models that not only should theoretically streamline the process, but also be much more optimized than how it is done currently.

The most optimistic outcome of what this means is that crashes from the game running out of memory loading models will be greatly reduced; if not eliminated entirely. The previous models that had to be removed could be reimplemented.

>>43293040
Thanks.
Yep, I did. I'll have a download for them soon. It is a shame having them covered up but that was their intended purpose.
1.6 does seem like a big undertaking whatever the case. Its real good news so far, especially the memory leaks patches.

>>43292407
>>43293084
I'm pretty sure you can have entire volumes with amount the pictures posted over the years. I can't say if i'm still interested in doing more right at this moment.
Better to not promise something that I know i'm not super interested in doing, which is why I took so long to do this. Also, i'm no visual artist and don't have much desire to improve in that.

>>43293535
>I'll have a download for them soon.

Oh no, all of these images are going to become dated.

>>43281341
I finished rigging some new character models, I'll include them on the content update for Sunday, along other extras and optimizations!

>>43283252
What I miss is the koisheep/chuu chuu threads

>>43294240
Aww sweet! GJ Anon. I was just happy that they will get to play again but is great.

>>43294202
These are wild. Thanks for these anon, I'm going to set one as my wallpaper.

Will the modpack link be posted tomorrow?

>>43294531
It's ususally posted a few hours before the server goes live.

>>43292520
All you had to do was follow the damn train Alice!

>>43292262
This put a big smile on my face, thanks anon!

>>43294240
GTA keeps being one of the games with more available Touhous to play.

can anyone list the in game commands? like how to whisper or create a party. i cant remember how to run the animations in this server too

>>43295133
/kill after you select your model so it sticks.

>>43295151
i normally /kill when someone punches me once to make them feel guilty

So I got the ISO, mounted it, and I can't get the game to run.

>>43296212
What's your OS? The installer should start automatically when you mount the ISO

>>43296238
W11
Used the setup.exe, tried to use install as well and click play GTA SA, neither work

>>43296260
Weird, the installer should work like this in W11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ocqJcG_B84

>>43296290
The installer works like that, just that when I click GTA SA exe it says wrong CD/DVD and nothing boots

>>43296318
Then the game installed correctly, you just need the no-CD patch. You can get it here: https://sharemods.com/qh5fawbtgxu4/SA_EXE_1.0_US_Hoodlum___Largeaddress.7z.html

I figured it out, moved the exe around, but thank you. Hopefully MTA isn't a bother either and the mods don't weigh 10 GB or something

>>43295235
I don't feel guilty, anon..

I won't be able to make it this time...

>>43293018
>>43297213
grove street sisters....... not like this

>>43275281
i tried connecting to a random server to test the game out but it said it couldn't connect at this time, also how long is the server going to be up for?

>>43297300
your client version and the server you're trying to connect might be different. some server are using the latest beta version 1.6. our server will be 1.5.9. go to settings, you can update to 1.5.9 and set up your nickname while you're at it

>>43297329
i'm on the 1.5.9 version already but thanks for the help anon

>>43297300
>also how long is the server going to be up for?

not long enough

>>43297329
How am I supposed to get 1.5.9? MTA says 1.6 when I open it.

>>43297578
Download it from the main page at https://multitheftauto.com/

>>43297585
Nevermind I am on 1.5.9 it's just that when I opened it I saw 1.6 beta and was misguided

Will the server be hosted again soon after tonight?

Orgy mod when

The pre-download will be posted soon! I'm doing a few last-minute checks just to make sure everything is in order.

>>43295133
Here's a screenshot of the basic controls and commands listed in the F9 help if you need a refresher, anon. Chat is T, team chat is Y (only used in gamemodes), and whispers are a command; "/msg [playername] [message]" without quotation marks/brackets.

>>43297300
>how long is the server going to be up for?
I usually just wing it depending on the atmosphere, so there's no real determined end time. But it'll be at least 6 hours.

>>43300612
Guess it depends on how well today goes, if I feel particularly inspired and not too worn out I'd definitely like to test out the 1.6 beta I mentioned earlier in the thread. Being able to use IMG containers instead of the old way of loading models could honestly be a big deal and from what I've read, it looks really promising. If it cuts down on the memory leaks related to loading in models with the current method it'd be a miracle, those out of memory crashes have been a plague and all the old carmodels could finally be reintroduced again.

>>43301123
thx. whats the command for sticking on top of a car and not fall off

>>43296407
what did you do anon? i am having the same issue as you did

>>43302012
You mean when you launch gta_sa.exe?
Replace it with this one:
https://sharemods.com/qh5fawbtgxu4/SA_EXE_1.0_US_Hoodlum___Largeaddress.7z.html

>>43302012
Oh wait nevermind I just had to replace hoodlum file .exe with the GTA.exe

>>43301970
If I remember correctly I believe it to be Z.

>>43301123
This is going to be a long-ass night for me...
Too late to comfortably stay up, too early to wake up for.

Happy anniversary guys. Sadly, I won't be able to make it this year. Please post lots of cute screenshot/videos as always. I'm so happy things are getting better for the host. Have fun!

>>43301123
The server will be up in a few hours. Here's the pre-install!

https://litter.catbox.moe/3hilwd.rar
To use: extract and simply drop the folder called "mods" into the MTASA root directory (wherever your .exe. is, usually program files by default) merge and overwrite as needed.

I STRONGLY recommend downloading this even if you've played before, as there's a number of changes. The in-game downloader is extremely slow at best, and you'll have to sit things out at worst because of it.

It seems like there'll be a quite a few new players this year, so I'll give my usual admonishments; try to be on your best behavior. The old rule of "act like you would on /jp" is a bit too nebulous nowadays, but really all it means is that you shouldn't be obnoxious. I shouldn't have to warn you for going on an off-topic /pol/ rant or throwing out a billion buzzwords or something, just relax and enjoy the feature-filled, jank shenanigans. As usual, bans are final and unrecendable, but as long as you're not expressly unruly then there's nothing to worry about, and that's all I really have to say on that front.

And, to be frank, you can expect jank! I haven't touched a proper computer for the better part of around 8 months. Things will probably break (even moreso) than usual!

>>43301970
The other anon is correct; it's Z to glue onto vehicles.

>>43302118
I'll try to make it in time, but i'm already getting sleepy. If I understand you right, I put the "mods" folder in my GTA SA folder, and since that already has a (empty) folder called mods, it'll tell me if I want to replace it, and I do.
From there, do I get to choose my character? Anything I should know?

>>43302151
you can choose characters in game. just follow someone

>>43302157
and type /kill after choosing the character so the skin sticks

IT'S BEEN LIKE HALF AN HOUR I WANT TO PLAY AAHHHH

>>43302428
Calm down anon

>>43302118
looking forward to it!

Since this will be outdated soon, here is the old 2hu background menu than an anon made: https://box.patchouli.moe/ZAVbNcsL.zip
You can drag and drop this into your MTA folder, though do make a backup of the cgui folder if anything goes wrong

For returning players, make sure you give MTA a couple of boots, to download updates and such.

>>43302464
Somehow I did everything right and it looks to work perfectly
I am so fucking psyched I might make coffee to game through the night. Damn my eurofag birth.

>>43302118
My connection is acting up so looks like I'll have to put on hold the big update I had planned for today until the next run, so for now only a few custom resources I'd like to test later https://litter.catbox.moe/4y4km6.rar (link for the host, players don't require to download this)

I AM SO FUCKING READY

The server will be up soon! There's one extra pre-download that needs to be grabbed for the new models that I'll post in a moment, but it should be pretty small.

Actually most of those mods were barely a few mb - shouldn't be necessary to reupload them. I will upload the updated models since I think the client usually tries to redownload them if it's changed at all. It may or may not be necessary, but I suggest getting it just in case. https://litter.catbox.moe/pmv8at.rar
(installation is the same as the previous pre-install, move mod folder to MTASA root directory, overwrite/merge as needed)

Well I only made it for an hour but I caught a dance off and the ending so i'm happy

I had lots of fun, thanks for hosting.

Thanks for hosting!

thanks for the host anon, i'll try to get mta working right on my computer so i can play more next time lol, i liked the bomb tag a lot

Thank you for the fun times, everyone! See you again in the next dream.

I once woke up to a centipede biting my face.

I promised technical issues and you got them - thanks for coming!

Fun fact about this year's anniversary cutscene - I'd originally completed it two days ago. But it really lacked the bombastic effect of the previous years, so I ended up redoing the entire thing through the entirety of last night through today. The original version had koishi running through the mansion, and the cake falling into the nuclear reactor. But the scale of the reactor hole was too small, and I couldn't get any good camera angles, so I had to scrap the idea. The timers were off the mark the first go around and I'd have liked more time to work on it, but all in all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

And speaking of, here it is for those of you that missed it:
https://files.catbox.moe/ec5hux.mp4

Happy anniversary!

>>43305326
it was fun

>>43305315
Hope things improve from here on out anon, whatever it is you're going through. Enjoying the small things in life is important too.

For the anons that want to contribute for the custom 2hu voices resource, feel free to post a zip with the sound files ITT. They should be mostly pain and attack sounds, but any other sound clips might be useful. Here's the current script for reference: https://litter.catbox.moe/h0v89h.rar

>>43305326
>But it really lacked the bombastic effect of the previous years, so I ended up redoing the entire thing through the entirety of last night through today.
Damn, thanks for your hard work it was really worth it! Definitely my favorite anniversary cutscene so far.

>>43305368
Don't know how loud this is going to be, but here's a quick one for Daiyousei. https://files.catbox.moe/0s8xgt.zip

>>43305326
Oh and I'll give a proper response to the anon who asked about how it was done before I sleep - each "scene" was set up then separated by timers, it's actually very simple in concept and the previous years' cutscenes went off the same principle, the main difference being this year I wanted to use a lot of different scenes instead of just one. It was honestly probably overly ambitious given my time constraints but I'm still happy with how it turned out and the final result was close enough to how I envisioned it. Old Hell is supposed to be a bustling place of drunkards, it needs to feel alive!

It's probably obvious after 4 years of doing this, but I have a flair for the dramatic. These silly anniversary scenes are my favorite things to work on, and one of the few things I put an actual effort into. They're a great excuse to just go wild with whatever comes to mind.

>>43305407
These are perfect, thank you! The PC-98 characters will be tricky, but if anyone can find fitting voices that'll be appreciated.

>>43305426
They are great fun and a very much appreciated! Thank you again for your work and great job!

>>43305459
This is a great shot

>>43305300
That even looks like a whole different game.

sad i missed that that's great anon!

>>43305276
Were you the guy that was getting auto kicked by the anti-cheat? So they were false positives then?

>>43305603
no i was the guy who had trouble with memory usage by the end of the session, I think it was only a big issue on the main map though because most of the other games seemed to run fine.

>>43305426
>>43305426
I really like the ending! The different scenes really reminded me when I was making the Christmas 2021-22 video. I heavily used [learned to use] the Stage tool, ZenoS Camera Tool, and the cam hack tool in combination. Apart from the tools themselves I lacked the acknowledge to script anything of use, so all of my "timing" was simply acting out one big scene with multiple actors, judging only by what happens on screen to time or keeping a mental track of when actions would happen and then act accordingly, with either or both my inputs/actors. Then adjust in post production.

It was a very imprecise and trial-and-error way of doing things, but it was interesting and fun regardless, and was enough for what I wanted to do. Thinking about how I would even build scenes play out was very important, since if messed up mid way, the scene would not go how i wanted it to go and would need to redo/react it all over again! Also looking back at the footage right now, I honestly forgot how camera angles and sections i didn't use towards end of that video as consequence of scrambling to get it done on time.

Webm is a failed attempted at a (sub)scene do to poor timing.

Was MTA always as janky as it was this last run? Or just some being cursed? Anyway, I hope 1.6 it's as good as it sounds.

>>43305326
What's the song at the start?

>>43306342
That's a great use of those resources! Camhack is really useful for getting camera matrixes, I use it too. I remember that video well - you got some really good shots in it, and you really captured the essence of something you'd see on nicovideo back in the day. That's a really cool way of doing things though, and that webm alone makes it look quite fun. I wonder if it'd be possible to incorporate something like that for something like a group movie e.g. having people record their actions for a scene since it could all be done on the spot.

Working solely via scripting has it's own problems too, but it's convenient in that you can isolate segments of a scene and play them out via a command to help make minute adjustments. Adjusting the timers to trigger an action until they're just right is basically guesstimating and replaying out the scene until it looks good, but some like Okuu's scene are a pain since it's a difference of miliseconds whether she stops and turns at the camera too late or too early.

Ordinarily you'd actually have the server set the timers, then use that data to trigger the events on the client. This is because the server keeps a more accurate track of time than clients, which can have a huge time variance if there's any significant lag or delay. It was a risk that I decided to chance for the sake of fleshing out the scenes more since I was running out of time.

Speaking of which, if any of you haven't seen it yet and have a free hour, I highly recommend Touhou Suspense. It's an incredibly well-made (for the time period) series featuring your favorite 2hu girls in SA.

>>43307329
Depends on what kind of jank you mean. the first few crashes were due to glue needing an update, and the constant crashes towards the end is just MTA hating large amounts of custom assets on those maps. Otherwise you've got your usual lag of having nearly 30 people in the same area, which MTA doesn't always handle well either (being near high latency players can sometimes make you lag a bit). I can't speak for the issues the linux anons were having though.

Will the new version of MTA be a good excuse to run the server some day over the summer?

>>43310353
Forget over the summer - I might actually try a test run sometime within a week.

This has been on my mind for a long time, but 1.6 might be a good excuse for a fresh start. Things have gotten a bit messy over all the years of messing around with dumb and silly scripts, and there's certain core features I think I'd like to do differently than how it was handled years ago when I was still kind of just winging it that are just too much of a pain to go back and try to change now. It'd be a good opportunity to go back and work on things, and have a clean slate to work off of than some of the random spaghetti code I threw together so we had something that'd work at the time.

This is just a thought anyways, but it's been something that's been on my mind for a while. The next new major build and all it's optimizations and improvements give me an excuse to consider actually trying it.

>>43310542
Would a fresh start involve a map wipe or is it possible to preserve everything there?

>>43310542
A fresh start might be for the best, MTA has introduced new functions and optimizations in the 4 years since the server started and the pre-install still has some old and unused mods taking space.

>>43311302
Map stuff and other things of a largely benign nature like accessories, or animations, wouldn't be affected. The purpose would essentially be building it back up to be more cohesive overall and to address issues that are harder to narrow down now because of just how much has been changed/modified/added over the years. If something goes wrong it's easier to narrow down a problem on a clean slate.

Anyway, this is just a thought, no guarantees on anything. It's not something that can be effortlessly done overnight; it'd be a decent effort of course, and the experience would basically be akin to the truly early days of the server where it's more skewed to testing new stuff as I work on it.

>>43309338
>I wonder if it'd be possible to incorporate something like that for something like a group movie e.g. having people record their actions for a scene since it could all be done on the spot.

I cant say if something like stage would even support client to client situations elegantly. E.g. if anon A is able to see anon B's scene recording. I don't think it separates information by clients either, essentially everyone is uploading and playing back from the same recorded information in once big scene all at once, which i image will be an issue and chaotic. But it should be possible since all recorded data on the client side is sent back serverside once a client hits stop on their recording. Once Anon B hits "play" on their end, the scene should play out server side at that point.

For simple actor recording i think it should be okay. But once vehicles and objects are introduce, stage sort of expects more admin type privileges. Stage only records player a actions and whatever the current objects the map file has loaded in. Any newly spawned items will not work (spawning in your own car to record a scene wont work, you would have to find a car that has already spawned on the map). Also if that car or object is damaged/destroyed, it will stay in that state until the entire map file is reloaded again.

The other camera tools should be okay i think. Those are all client side it seems, but sort of require a flying script to be used in conjunction to effectively to place camera positions easily.

All of this is just from what I can remember back then. Also who know 1.6 might just break all of this.
Here is a scene I redid that didn't work out.

>>43339943

no server this weekend?

>>43321767
That was just glue being bricked due to needing an update, that should (hopefully) be fixed now.

>>43340246
Sort of. That was something I also thought about redoing in place of a traditional character selection screen or something of the sort.

Though believe it or not, those peds are actually miniscule resource-wise. The largest ped model is a single 6 MB model with the other 90% being 1-2 MB.

The issue is that memory is not properly freed up from the engine load functions MTA currently uses. It's a cumulative effect in that the more is loaded in on your client, the faster you eventually crash. This is why peds start causing crashes because even though they're miniscule, the memory all those little guys use adds up. It's the same logic behind the custom map and other things that cause crashes when enabled, the bigger the models the faster it uses up all your memory, and crashes.

The new functions in the 1.6 beta give the ability to stream models straight from an IMG file just like how SP SA does, hopefully alleviating the (many) issues MTA has with loading in large amounts of replaced models.

This article is very outdated but it talks a bit about how GTA's IMG containers work, should it interest you
https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GTA:SA_Resource_Streaming

>>43348463
Probably not this weekend since I'm busy with a few things. The model loader needs to be completely redone to make use of the new IMG functions, but after that's finished with I'd certainly like to run a stress test to see how much of a difference it makes.

>>43348663
>Though believe it or not, those peds are actually miniscule resource-wise.
I ended up ranting about IMG containers again and forgot my point, but I'm actually a bit fond of the spawn NPCs. It's funny watching them end up the victim of different massacres - I like to think they add a little bit of character over a generic character selection screen.

Nothing's set in stone though, I'll definitely be messing around with some things just to see what works best and what doesn't.

>>43348687
Alright! Looking forward whenever its ready. Hopefully how tokyo/genso is scripted it wont have to be redone...map anon work hard on that i think

Does anyone still have the mod packs?

Looks like CEF dropping support for Windows 7 might be the reason why some radio stations and the cinema stopped working for some anons.

I finally got around installing the MTA 1.6 beta, I'll put all the skin mods in an IMG file and see how much it helps with the loading times and memory usage.

>>43408460
awesome

>>43348663
Linking all the character models in an IMG container with the new functions really seems to work really well, loading up is near instant and memory usage is much better so far.

>>43417669
That's great news! I'm looking forward to see how the new optimizations will improve the server performance in a real setting.

>>43421615
I'll post the resource later when I finish adding all the characters.

>>43424055
Almost done...

>>43348663
I finished the IMG loading resource, and the result is disappointing: while loading time is slightly better and memory usage very low at first, the more different character models appear in the map, the memory usage increases until it's the same as the old model replacing method. And at the spawn area with all the skin pickups, performance is much worse to the point that I get input lag and the map around the area struggles to render, with the old functions that never happened. Here's the IMG loading resource with just the skins, who knows maybe you'll get better performance https://litter.catbox.moe/zh8hb7.rar

>>43439440
>>43348663
Performance with the new IMG functions is really good as long as there's not too many hi poly models loaded in a small area, and when they are out of view of the player a lot of memory is freed unlike with the old method, so IMG loading can still be very useful for vehicles or maps. I'll do some performance testing with these before the thread dies.

Using 2 separate IMG files (one for skins and one for vehicles/maps) is a bit unstable atm, here's hoping they fix these functions before the official MTA 1.6 release.

Found a shader that gives all characters a cel-shaded look (like the Reisen skin) without having to edit the models.
