Vice City Innovation
My new idea is for a map that would not replace anything.
It would be the basis for all maps to come, with limitless boundaries.
In a real commercial district, property is expensive, much like the extra
space in Vice City. It is cheaper
to build up than out. That
is the key to the mod. Building up
would also leave the Original Vice City intact and have its missions
still work. My new project (the
game does not need any new cars – especially from me) is to build a platform
that can in turn have other maps on it. The platform itself would be a cube (not necessarily square)
that spreads for a fourth of the map. There
would be 4 placed, but in different districts (for the sake of efficiency).
IT would not be too thick, but big enough for a Tunnel Complex.
Tunnels could go all over the place, and there are only a total of maybe
5 or 6 pieces necessary. Ped-paths
are easy, and would definitely be done. Water,
on the other hand, would not. There
would be no water (no one cares due to the lack of boats) and helicopters +
planes would be useless because of the ceiling in the game.
Like Illsprits map, it would be divided into sectors.
People could then claim a couple sectors and make buildings and parks to
make an industrious city. Highways
and sub roads would be standard, but little paths (i.e. a park) would be custom. Mission script could be made by an affiliate of mine, and
possibly Barton. No cars would be
moved, thanks to DiCanio for his idea in making New parking script.
The benefit is, when we run out of room in the city, we can start to
stack them. Sure it would not look
realistic, but you wouldn’t even see it from Vice City, because it would have
to be higher than the tallest building. I
will make a drawing in AutoCad shortly to give a better idea of what is going
on.
All in all, this seems like an easy, but very profitable
(not money wise, but for the mod community) mod.
I need:
Modelers – I can model, bit I suck.
I’m better at mapping.
Mission Scriptors – I have no idea how…
Buildings – Made by fans to complete the city.
Note: This
may even be the basis for the SunShine Autos Mod. I bought the domain, but the idea was blown to, well, I
scratched it. This could be as big
(literally) as Odie’s Berlin Map.
