good progress

final example. Yep, it changed. :) It follows the old format, but there was a version bump, so there are some new bits here and there. The old scripts won't load the new models. A character model would probably show where all the changes are, but this is just a flat minimap of San Francisco: minima...

honestly, if anyone can get the full map extracted as a 3D object, it *WILL* be ported to GTA IV/V.

would be good to see some more progress on this, as I have the game files sitting here after installing the game this morning.

would look beautiful in GTA

While I know that .P3D files are containers for Texture/Model/ETC and have been used in games such as Scarface, Hulk Ultimate Destruction, and Prototype. I was hoping that this thread could serve as a means to co-ordinate and properly research into the format. here are an assortment of random P3D's ...

That's impressive work! The script works flawless~ Shame that there isn't support for multiple materials and object positioning yet :( Would anyone look into the compressed pck files in MCLA? dont got it. Just wanted the MC3 maps since I have the game and the maps are in a similar design to what a ...

regarding most of the TC:LA files. I have been doin a bit of research and compiled a list of the formats in the city folder. EPP = Edit Pad Pro. Street names and such EPM = MPE Data Encryption? Destiny MPE EXT = Textures IDX = Subtitles? RES = Possibly Textures? MGD = Possible CAD file. contains the...

so I was looking through the art directory of the cement.rcf and I found an interesting file labeled "1". it has no extension and a rather large file size [1.5GB] methinks this may possibly be the full game map model. although I have no idea how I should handle this and felt it would be better to po...

how dare they complain about this magical thread of great importance. The new version "Girl Battle Hentai Super Blast DD Rack Fuel Injected Turbo Edition Hyper Deluxe Ultramax X part II Chapter 1" has been announced. many rumors have spread about the company replacing .fck model compression with .cl...

bumping this because I am still interested in trying to atleast extract the map for use with a GTA mod.

anyone willing to help a wayward soul?

[..] each of the files should have pieces that can be used to construct the full LA City... the only issue for me is that I don't know how to access the files and extract the information. which is why I came here :) This will require some fiddeling. I showed you what I could find in a 5 minutes job...

test.mgd looks like a huge map file: test_mgd.JPG hmm... any way to access it? like, load it into 3DS Max? what do you want to achieve? You can display the maps as point clouds using hex2obj . Afaik the 3DSmax obj exporter doesn't like obj files without face indices. all the data for the map should...

Curious if anyone knows anything about the MGD file format that was used by activision back when they made the True Crimes series?




Here are the files

Me thinks that maybe it is where the model for the city is... and if not then maybe its textures... the great "maybe"... I would suggest to start with smaller files. You could use TextureFinder to decide what might be texture and what could be other data: tokyo_midnight.JPG took the day off from sc...
