[WIP|BETA|SA] GTA: Underground - Mod Discussion

GTA: Underground is an ambitious total conversion mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that aims to unite the entire Rockstar 3D Era Universe into a single mod. This means maps from GTA: Vice City, GTA III, Manhunt, Manhunt 2 and Bully are added including their own weapons, vehicles, pedestrians, interiors, shops, safehouses, weather and much more WITHOUT replacing any original San Andreas content. In addition, the mod introduces more custom fan-made content like vehicles/peds/weapons as it tries to match the aesthetic of their respective games while also keeping everything Rockstar style.

FULLY FUNCTIONAL VICE CITY AND LIBERTY CITY

Both Vice City and Liberty City are complete with their own pedestrians, weapons, shops, vehicles, radio stations, weather and trails. There are also barber shops, clothes shops, gyms, tuning garages and more to complete the overall experience!

ADDED GANGS

GTA: UG implements extra gangs into the game who spawn in their own respective cities. You can also take over their turfs in a traditional gang war and control the streets.

ADDED WEAPONS

All weapons from VC, III, MH, MH2 and Bully are added with their own statistics while some also have custom sounds. In addition, more than 50 new custom made weapons in SA style are included by Yhdf.

ADDED VEHICLES

All vehicles were added in SA style including a lot of custom tuners, muscle cars, racers, civilian cars, emergency vehicles and more with their own unique handling. Some of the added vehicles can also be tuned in TransFender/Wheel Arch Angels/Loco Low Co.

ADDED PEDESTRIANS

Pedestrians are also included from their respective games of VC/VCS/III/LCS/MH/MH2/BULLY with the added functionality of the pedcol system from VCS and a hundred more custom pedestrians made by Yhdf.

MULTIPLAYER CLIENT (UG-MP)

UG-MP is an adaptation of the San Andreas Multiplayer modification which allows server developers from SA-MP to run their gamemodes on UG, and fully utilize all of the extra content GTA: Underground provides. UG-MP is backwards-compatible with SA-MP, meaning SA-MP gamemodes can easily be loaded on UG-MP without unnecessary rewrites.

ADDED CHEAT CODES

 PC Cheats codes from VC and III are added including brand new UG ones. The mod also has vehicle and weapon spawners, and skin selector that you can browse with "SKINSELECTOR" "VEHICLESPAWNER" and "WEAPONSPAWNER"

WEATHER INTERPOLATION AND TRAILS

Weather from their respective games is added as it will slowly interpolate when reaching added cities. You can enable trails with the newly added option in OPTIONS > DISPLAY > ADVANCED > TRAILS. In addition, you can enable VCS/LCS weather and trails with the included debug menu by The_Hero.

RADIO STATIONS

Radio stations will change when you enter the vicinity of VC and LC as they all include both their VC/VCS and III/LCS counterparts.

BUSINESSES

The Business and revenue system returns in Vice City and Liberty City: Take over Starfish Island and purchase Diaz's mansion to unlock all businesses while In Liberty City you can unlock them by purchasing Kenji's Casino.

UNIQUE WANTED SYSTEM

Police, SWAT, FBI and Army from their respective games were added including their original weapons In addition to custom made ones in Bullworth, Carcer City and Cottonmouth. The Vice squad from GTA: Vice City also returns!

FIXED ROOFTOPS AND BUILDINGS IN VC AND LC

Since in GTA: III and GTA: Vice City had many buildings with non-solid rooftops, we've updated all of the rooftops so they are solid. In some places, we even added extra detail and props to give these rooftops some new life!

AIRPLANE TICKET SYSTEM
Too lazy to fly to a different city? No problem! You can purchase tickets to Vice City and Liberty city in the airport ticket machine by using the mouse wheel while selecting a destination.

2DFX AND BREAKABLE OBJECTS

All of the added maps also come with their own set of props, and even streetlights, signs, benches, trash cans and more. We've made all of these custom objects breakable and gave them all 2dfx as seen in their respective games.

INTERIORS, SHOPS AND SAFE HOUSES

Interiors and Shops from the original games are back. Gun stores in added cities sell unique and different weapons to the ones sold in San Andreas and tool shops from GTA: Vice city make a return. Additionally, safehouses in added cities with their own unique interior can be purchased after fulfilling certain requirements. 

BETA CONTENT

GTA: UG also exclusively implements beta content from SA/VC/VCS/III/LCS such as cars and weapons that are available from the start. 

NEW CONTENT IN SAN ANDREAS

New gangs, turfs, custom cars in traffic, pedestrians, gang members and weapons in ammu-nation are also added to give San Andreas a new taste.

ADDED EFFECTS FROM PREVIOUS GAMES

Neon Lights in Vice City, wet roads, car sun glare effect, street rubbish and more are also added to give more life to the environment. 

PARKED CARS & PICKUPS

Vice City and Liberty City both have the same parked car/pickup locations as in the original games. This means the iconic Oceanic at the Ocean VIew Hotel and the adrenaline pills are both at their respective locations, just to name one example.

These are our future plans for upcoming releases.

UG-MP

An adaption of San Andreas Multiplayer which allows multiplayer gameplay on GTA: Underground. It will be fully backwards-compatible with SA-MP, meaning that SA-MP game modes can easily be loaded on UG-MP without having to alter the code very much at all. In addition, we also plan on introducing a lot of additional features to UG-MP such as additional custom objects, animations, and a lot more. It is designed to be as close to SA-MP as possible.

Potential UG-MP updates may include the introduction of NPC traffic, server-side vehicle handling, fire synchronization, or server-side models (like 0.3DL)

Midway

A complete replacement for Mainland Liberty, which is modelled entirely from scratch. Unlike MLL, Midway will offer a much better city layout, lots of unique/memorable locations, and later plans include the introduction of in-game shops, Pay N Spray garages, safehouses, and a lot more. The existing peds (and the vehicles which were introduced in the Snapshot 3.3 updates) will roam the city.

Port Oyster

Port Oyster is a reworked version of Dunsfold and is also modelled entirely from scratch. It will be moved to a different location south of Angel Pine, and we plan on turning it into the military base we initially wanted Dunsfold to be. It will use the pre-existing peds which were originally made for Dunsfold (all of which are in-game already as of 3.3.11)

Upstate Liberty

We plan on using AdusPL's Liberty City Countryside mod to act as the area commonly known as Liberty City. The area will feature one medium-sized town (Gosttown). Ghost town will have an airport and the bank from the GTA: III introduction cutscene, 

The player will be able to access this area by driving through the Shoreside Vale tunnels, both of which will connect to highways. Besides the countryside and Gosstown, a handful of small towns also exist, as well as farms, and even a dirt bike track.
