  1. Thank you for the reply, jab Hacksoul, I really needed to get the "feel" of what the modding community considered important about my modding concerns. Since I'm an older guy who came late to computers (and even later, modding), learning this stuff is a slow process for me, but it is challenging and rewarding. Guess it's time to head back to college for a microsoft certification.
  2. Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and I have a few questions about general modding fixes. I'm a little short on time atm so I'm going to be brief. 1. Is it taboo to fix mods made by others IF you cannot get support or help from the author(s)? What if they have long since disappeared and cannot be reached? 2. Is there a forum favorite for a GTA: Vice City total conversion mod? 3. Has anyone here ever heard of GTA: Vicy city Deluxe 2.0 beta? (It's one mod I have that won't run correctly) 4. If your answer to question #3 is yes, did you ever find out what was causing the exception errors? 5. What types of mods are incompatible with others, if any, in GTA: VC? 6. Is it ever acceptable to work on someone else's mod for your own use (it will never be published/uploaded)? Thanks in advance for the replies.
  3. wow, 29 views, two days, and not one reply? Based on your other posts, you folks don't strike me as a shy bunch. Methinks I'll head over to the modding section and rephrase my question.
  4. Hi everyone, I'm new here. Be gentle. I have a question or two about some mods, thought this might be a good place to get some info. Situation; In the total conversion mod for Vice City "VC Deluxe 2.0 beta," there is an exception error that I get after a while. I was unable to find a fix online an any forums. And no, I'm not here for tech support - I've gone to VC Deluxe 1.0 with the peds fix patch and I'm playing through now with no problems. But I _really_ like the Deluxe 2.0 beta - the cars look awesome and it seems to be a step up in vehicle quality (speed and handling issues are corrected, etc.), and especially police AI and police vehicles (their appearance). The questions: Is there anyone working on correcting that mod so that it runs properly? Anyone (third or 4th parties) trying to fix the errors? Or should I give up and just stick with 1.0 Deluxe? I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone went into the mod files, cracked it open and found lots of typos, which doesn't surprise me. Is it taboo to "fix" someone else's mod if the original author(s) abandon it? I was unable to reach the author to ask these questions. The reason I ask all this is that it just seems like a damn shame that such a detailed mod is left to rot for lack of any means to play properly. Obviously, I don't have the ability to write my own mods, or I'd fix it myself. another question: What's the odds-on favorite on these boards for a total conversion mod for VC? Do you guys have a preference? Or is it pretty much to each his own? Well anyway, thanks in advance for your comments. Looks like a good website here.
