Map Mod

[rmofarrell]

Having no idea where to begin with modding, I was wondering how possible it would be to replace liberty city's map with the Venezuela map from mercenaries 2.

People keep complaining that there is hardly any open spaces in gta iv, a la San Andreas. Could you simply replace the map, and certain gameplay features with that of Mercenaries 2?

basically I'm thinking:

-use gta 4 civilians

-use gta 4 gameplay/controls/character models

-use gta 4 cars/vehicles except for mercenaries 2 tanks, planes etc.

-keep some of the factions of Mercenaries, to keep some of the regional variations you see (running into different factions in different areas)

-allow destructible buildings, air-strikes, etc, to get that over-the-top flair.

If you wanted to really get into it, you could replace some the the mercenareis 2 urban areas with buildings from gta 4. This would be difficult, particularly dealing with the whole destruction angle.

Just thinking that fighting in the jungle would be pretty cool.
