well, it would be better if it were an easy thing to mod, and it had at least a 95% chance of working right.
also, I could work out a map of something that could be used and called Druckenwell. its the planet that San Andreas is on. Vice City, Liberty City, and San Andreas are all part of a huge gigantic thing. there are also other sides to the world. its almost like earth. I'll draw a map at school next time if I get the chance. I'd need Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to do the job on it that I want to. it will be great. I could help in a mod like that (planning, testing and drawing, but the stuff that goes in, you'll have to do. I cant even get the DFF extractor to do what I want. I can barely work the TXD thing with working on a clothes texture.
also, when you do the peds thing, (or if this is seperate), someone should make a mod that gives the civilians a specific loadout of weapons;
9mm
Tec9
AK47
country rifle
no rocket launchers, M4's (unless the M4 is kept somewhat rare amongst the people who should know guns), auto shotguns, grenades, MP5's (except for the Grove and the FBI), or ridiculous weapons that civilians shouldnt really have. Los Santo's is not Mogudishu!
also, if you are a weapon modeller with little or nothing to do, ID yourself to me either here or with a PM, so that I can make suggestions and such. I have good challenges for you.
