Thanks! This'll be really interesting, I'll see what I can do with it!

Here you go RealGTA... I haven't had time to sort these files into any type of simple categories, only extracted the files from the .exe... I'm looking forward in seeing your progress

Went over the files for an hour and a half or so...I must say that there's a lot of material in all of them. Unfortunately, the vehicles from real gta (at least the ones I tryed) won't load. That's a real bummer.

As for the texture-swapping around liberty, I saw a great wealth of them. However, I downloaded texture swap and kept getting an error while opening up the .img file. What program did you use, and is there any way to perhaps lower the polygon count on some of these vehicles?

The program that I was using to open the .img file was IMG tool 2.0... To lower the poly count for the cars you would have to reskin the textures. Once you start to change up the building textures you will learn how to create these .TXD files for yourself, within those files are 4-8 pictures that make up the texture, building or car...

Guys i made big progress the last few days, i fixed bugs with cars, installed the wheel mod and so far i have a LOT of replaced cars, a optimized gta3.set with more draw distance and some minor optical tweaks, map changes with access to cutscene locations, but most awesome of all: a all-new handling mod which changes all driving physics to more realistic ones! Drifting made much easier and more realistic, sports cars and normal cars now have acceleration which fits every different type of car.

Yep i'm gonna share it with you, i just need time to upload (i'm at my parents home right now they have shitty internet )

I maxed the draw distance out, the performance isn't the best (heavy drops below 20 fps but it IS playable!) so i'm gonna upload 2 versions one with better performance and one with maxed out graphics. (personally i can live with a few drops and if some of you ever played max payne mobile... this is still great in comparison with max payne.. so it's pretty playable even at max settings)

Here's a List of all changes i made:

(this pack is meant ONLY for the new retina iPad!)

-----------------------------------
Savegames

I included a savegame which starts at the first mission that brings you to the third island, so you instantly have (official) access to all three islands in the game. If you DO NOT want this and want to start a fresh game, copy ONLY gta3.set to the documents folder, nothing else!

I patiently tested and optimized this pack so i only have high quality maps and cars in it aswell as long-tested settings. This pack does not limit any of the missions ingame, so you can just install this full pack and start a new game and play it from the start till the end!


HERE'S THE CHANGELIST:

-----------------------------------
gta3.set

- Leaves and Newspapers floating around Liberty City
- Uncut Patch for Blood
- Maximized Draw Distance (reduced annoying popups ingame)
- All graphical Effects enabled (Lights, Shadows, Smoke...)
- Enabled AA to enjoy the best possible quality on the new iPad
- Also added a second gta3.set with normal Drawing Distance for a overall smooth game without affecting any other effects, since this is the iPad3 Setting i didn't turn off AA since high draw distance is way easier to sacrifice than a overall better quality.


-----------------------------------
particles.cfg

- New Reflection System for all Cars
- New Effects like Water Splash and Smoke placed all over the City to breathe a little more life into Liberty City
- Totally new Car-Smoke effects
- other minor changes


-----------------------------------
Terrain based Changes:

- Stunt Island
- Sky Bridge
- Looping
- Rooftop Stairs with access to Cutscene Interiors
- 2 Bridges connection all 3 Islands together
- Ghost Town Bridge


-----------------------------------
All new driving physics!

- Now THIS is a real bummer! All cars do now have WAY more realistic characteristics. Ordinary Cars are waaaay slower than the real sports cars, that makes sports cars even funnier to ride. Besides that, heavy engined cars (sports and muscle cars) have a awesome new "slipping" system so, if you are skilled enough, you can drift like never before. for me this is the most awesome change ever made to GTA III!

-----------------------------------
Car Replacements:

Replaced many cars with real life cars, for example:

- Lamborghini Murciélago (I changed the textures of this car by myself to get the best possible model!)
- Ferrari F50
- Hot Rod
- BMW Convertible
- Porsche 911

and many more!

-----------------------------------
NOTE: I tested this pack really intensely and with my iPad 3 i had absolutely no crashes, no bugs and no performance problems that cause the game to be unplayable. Please take note this pack is ONLY FOR THE NEW IPAD, i'll do the same pack with optimizations for the iPhone 4 (A4) but this will take it's time so don't ask me for it, i'll upload it as soon as i'm done
-----------------------------------

Kudos to JBRUU for his helpful settings so i didn't had to start it all from scratch!




Upload is coming later today, so stay tuned at this thread!

@thirstydude: It's a shame that maximum draw distance afffects performance but i'm glad you will include a normal draw distance gta3.set , looking forward to you upload later his day and thanks to you and JBRUU for sharing your work!
