In short, this mod is supposed to increase the gaming experience with GTA: Vice City. It mostly contains fixes and some improvements.

Current version: v2.0 new (reorganized)

Warning:

UpdatedSCM is incompatible with Stories NPC 'Taxi Service' by Ryadica Cahya (you won't be able to start Paramedic and Firefighter) I do not recommend you to use the Save Friendly SCM, at least NOT to overwrite your old save files. It could corrupt your previous save files, if you use a different SCM for it. It's best used with a 100% completed save file if you cannot afford the time to restart the game. Before you load OR overwrite any saved files with the Save Friendly SCM, please create a backup of your save files, so if they get corrupted or anything, you can restore them. The save files can be found under "your username > Documents > GTA Vice City User Files" The author of this mod does not take any responsibility for damaged or corrupted save files. Use this mod at your own risk and care.

Installation guidelines:

Installation manual for average user: (click me to expand)

1. Download Mod Loader.

2. Also download ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader.

3. First, extract the Ultimate ASI Loader and copy all of its content to where you installed your game (root folder). This, by default (on 64 bit systems and non-Steam version) should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City"

4. Extract the mod loader archive and

   • copy the "modloader.asi" file to the (now existing) "scripts" folder.
   • copy the "modloader" directory from the archive to the game's installed root folder (as earlier in step 3)

5. Extract "UpdatedSCM" archive and then find and open "Mod Loader Version"

6.Copy "UpdatedSCM" folder to your Mod Loader folder inside of game's root directory

Installation manual for experienced user: (click me to expand)

*WARNING: ALWAYS create a backup of the original files and then do the necessary changes.

6. Copy folders "data", "text" to the root game's directory.

   • Alternatively, use SaveFriendlySCM

7. In "data > maps > nbeachw > nbeachw.ide", change line:

3830, buildingsite2, buildingsite2, 1, 108, 128

To:

3830, buildingsite2, buildingsite2, 1, 300, 128

Change line:

3948, LODngst2mesh, LODnbeachwbig, 1, 2000, 0

To:

3948, LODngst2mesh, buildingsite2, 1, 3000, 132

Next change the following line:

3964, bldngst2meshdam, buildingsite2, 1, 135, 132

To:

3964, bldngst2meshdam, buildingsite2, 1, 300, 132

And after that, add this line:

6308, LODngst2meshdam, buildingsite2, 1, 3000, 132

(If you didn't mod that file before, you can simply overwrite it with the one included in the package.)

*Warning: You should use the [Open Limit Adjuster](https://github.com/ThirteenAG/III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster/releases) to avoid the game crashing after that.

8. To be able to enter the interior of the Howlin' Petes, you also need to change a COL file. Extract your "downtows.col" from gta3.img archive and replace the dowbikershop.col with the one from the "extras" folder. To modify COL files, use steve-m's COL Editor.

9. I highly recommend using CLEO and using "extras > cleo > cs-playmodels.cs" if you wish to have support for all the player CS models. *Warning: Cleo scripts might not work well under modloader, so copy it to your game root directory's cleo folder instead.

---

1. Replace "main.scm" with "data > main.scm" file.

2. Replace language GXT files in the "text" folder.

3. Add and replace these new models (and their textures) files to the gta3.img:

   • CSplay12.dff (add)
   • CSplay12.txd (add)
   • CSplay13.dff (add)
   • CSplay13.txd (add)
   • csruger.dff (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • csruger.txd (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • delcsb.dff (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • delcsb.txd (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • dowbikershop.dff (replace)
   • IGavery.dff (add)
   • IGavery.txd (add)
   • IGdlove.dff (add)
   • IGdlove.txd (add)
   • LODngst2mesh.dff (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • LODngst2meshdam.dff (add) <<= make sure to add this!
   • nbeachw.col (replace) <<= make sure to add this!
   • Downtows.col (replace) <<= make sure to add this!
   • play13.dff (add)
   • play13.txd (add)

   *Warning: The game is going to stall in a black screen if you don't add "csruger.dff" and "csruger.txd" and also delcsb.dff and delcsb.txd" in the mission "Supply & Demand", so at the very least, you have to do that! If you don't add IGavery and IGdlove, they will appear untextured (white) ingame. For MC Tommy, please at least use play13.dff and play13.txd. The CSplay12 and CSplay13 is only needed if you use the extra "cs-playmodels" cleo script. The two LOD model files "LODngst2mesh.dff" and "LODngst2meshdam.dff" also collision file "nbeachw.col" are needed to fix the destroyed construction building, so it remains destroyed from far away as well.

   *Warning: Make sure to replace "nbeachw.col" in gta3.img otherwise the game will crash with an unhandled exception after passing "Demolition Man" and driving away as the LOD model won't be able to find its collisions.

Extras (click me to expand)

* I highly recommend to check out the few other additional CLEO scripts. See the "readme" file there for more information about what they do.

• If you want to see the "VCPD Cheetah" displayed, then edit "data\default.ide"

  Find line:

  236, vicechee, vicechee, car, CHEETAH, CHEETAH, null, ignore, 10, 7, 0, 250, 0.7

  Replace it with (the 6th column with "VCPDCHE"):

  236, vicechee, vicechee, car, CHEETAH, VCPDCHE, null, ignore, 10, 7, 0, 250, 0.7

Then edit the appropriate GXT file, and add "VCPDCHE" string with "VCPD Cheetah" or an other localized one. (Note that the included GXT files already contain this change.)

I also recommend to use NW-Fixes (and put that one to higher priority in Modloader), the two are quite interrelated now. This now also includes the files needed for UpdatedSCM, so no need to mess with anything manually.

To-do: (click me to expand)

• Proofread the English.gxt file to fix any left-over typos
• Fix S.W.A.T attacking the player in "The Job" even through you lost wanted level in Pay 'n' Spray.
• Fix Army spawning and attacking the player outside of Fort Baxter.
• Replace Leaf Links bridge traffic flow workaround with a proper fix, including adding some additional zone checks around the tight gaps of the golf zones (check how VCS does it, maybe?)
• Fix possible crash when starting new game quickly after the Ken's office intro cutscene skip?
• Fix the Jury not falling out of the car in "Jury Fury" if headshotted inside of the admiral with an M4 rifle (original VC bug)

Save-friendly changelog (click me to expand)

This save-friendly version contains only fixes, but nothing that would make your old save game files crash or force you to start a new game. Audio additions are all removed because they might cause some ... bugs and then make it unable to complete the game..The old saved ones. Also there are no model changes of any kind. Though some vehicle additions exist as CLEO scripts.

Warning! Despite these changes not breaking old save games, in these saved games you might see weird glitches like an unusual floating building, something misbehaving, or some missing collision. So use this at your own risk and it's still best practice to start a new game above all else to make sure everything goes smoothly!
