2.1 Version Available (August 3rd) ___ Port made by JorgePinto & swift502 Original map by Rockstar Games (WARNING: This trailer was made in an alpha stage on a potato computer, quality doesn't reflect the final product!) Welcome to Vice City Inspired by @swift502 's port of GTA 3's Liberty City, I decided to team up with him to literally create the next step in the series, the 80tastic experience of Vice City! Features Complete port of the whole Vice City map, with several spawn points included, including the following interiors built into the map itself (I suggest a Pigeon for entering these!): Malibu Club Diaz's/Vercetti's Mansion North Point Mall Hyman Stadium Stunt Arena (Not directly accesible, only via spawn point , F7 key and/or world editor) Pole Position Club Added ambient sounds (beaches, mall and club music...) ground types behaviour (grass, sand, mud...), BeamNG Water (ocean, pools, particles...) and vertex lighting. Added dynamic night lighting* using BeamNG's light system to the entire map, as close to the original as possible, using more than 8.500 individual lights. +300 bug fixes and improvements on the original map, polishing the map for the modern and detailed times. AI Support and GPS Navigation support. Updated a few critical textures bastly used across the map. Optimised rendering using GTA VC's LOD models. Several key points made BeamNG friendly, like access to Pay 'N' Spray shops (curb cuts added to the sidewalks) or certain iconic stunt stunts across the map. (to avoid wrecking your car on the first try...) Mostly NSFW Friendly. Added/changed a few Easter Eggs to suit BeamNG a bit more (Can you find them all?). Animated blimp on Downtown area too! Includes two Scenarios: Demolition Van Downtown Off-Road Challenge (Featuring a custom D-Series with a Landstalker replica config) Includes a VCPD Skin-Config for the Police Grand Marshal and Vice City custom plates as well, which load automatically with the map. Known Bugs SEVERAL TEXTURES (As of January 2022) ARE CURRENTLY BROKEN, the only workaround so far is to run the map unpacked, by following these steps below: Download the map .zip as usual. Go to your local mod folder (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.24\mods as default) and open/create the unpacked folder within the mods folder Create a folder called vice.zip (for example) inside the unpacked folder, and copy all the contents from the .zip file inside, once it's finished, you can delete the file and run the map Due to how water works in BeamNG, some specific areas of the map are flooded, like the underground mini-mall at Washington Beach, the underground parking garage at the marina, and the canal in Little Haiti (The option to avoid this is using water blocks, which along with the map itself, brings down the performance to unplayable levels, so sadly nothing can be done about it at the moment) Certain spots in areas with a lot of grass, like the golf club, can behave like asphalt. It is unknown why this happens since all grass textures are already coded to behave as grass, and no 'phantom' polys on top of it might exist that avoid contact with grass. *Performance is definitely far from optimized, at day most current computers should run it without major issues at all, but at night I would say no computer will be able to get more than 2 digits on FPS, so it is advised to use nighttime for pictures only. -Download- (INSTRUCTIONS: Put the downloaded zip file in "C:\Users\username\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods") -Changelog- Feedback, help, and suggestions are welcome!
Finally a hero brave and bold enough to port Vice City. Now who is crazy enough to take on San Andreas...?
until there's a way to get every model imported into Beamng, then i really don't know. the SA map is too big for Beamng's map maker.
Nice, I've always wanted this. Regarding this; just make a 3d mesh of a fence model similar to the texture, add a colmesh (since the mesh is 3d, the collision mesh will work better than a texture) and manipulate the pre-existing fence textures to fit with the 3d one. Here is a detailed explanation on how to get some map models in the game;
This is an amazing map! thanks a lot. A thing ive noticed while playing in it. There is a section between the airport and the military base that has weird road collisions. Also these skidmarks issues can be fixed with this in the materials.cs for the grass material. Last one in the page https://wiki.beamng.com/Physics_Materials Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Yes, that's close to what I have in mind, it also looks bad being 100% 2D, so it's definitely going to go on that direction. Driving and going around, yes. On free cam moving quickly, it can lag a bit. I play on a computer with a 3.30 GHz i5 2500K, 16 Gb RAM, and a GeForce GTX 660, quite an average computer nowadays I guess, and it moves quite nicely most of the time. Thanks! Will look at that road, and disabling the skidmaks on the grass materials, will still behave like asphalt in those segments, but it's quite an improvement

Opened the gate at Pier 2 on Ocean Bay Marina Closed the barriers at the underground garage on Ocean Bay Marina due to the current flooding Redone the entire lighting in the Malibu Club, up to current standards. Added beach sounds to the small beach near the Hyman Stadium in Downtown. Fixed many more mesh and texture all over the map
I appreciate your effort on converting this great map Btw, I did find an issue in the Diaz's mansion, where a roof blocks a pathway to the helipad thru the stairway. If it is possible, it should be removed by modifying the model a little, or adding no collision there.
Please delete the cache folder at: C:\Users\username\Documents\BeamNG.drive If it still doesn't work, maybe the 'materials' files scattered around the main folder should be deleted, except the ones in the mod folder of course. Thank you
Search for all 'main.materials' files at: C:\Users\username\Documents\BeamNG.drive and delete them, except the ones you may have in any unpacked mod folder, which will break even more things, should work with this.
