Wow M4k3 is still alive!

 Hello! 

This blog hasn't been updated since... 2019. Also no released mods for GTA SA since 2021 (the last one was Pfister Comet Mk3). Well, some may think I am fully retired from GTA modding or that I'm just gone. 

I am not gone. Actually, there are some mods for GTA IV and GTA V that I was involved in one way or another (mostly scratch made lore-friendly cars by me):

2021 - Declasse Vigero VL1/690SS for GTA V

A lore-friendly version of 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro (2010-2015) with facelift version available as tuning (690SS). Converted to GTA V by Jerkov, 13Stewartc and others.

 2021 - Benefactor Scharmann for GTA IV

and for GTA V 

 A lore-friendly version of Mercedes W124 initially modelled for GTA IV (converted by GCT) and later converted to GTA V by 13Stewartc.

 2022 - Improved Vulcar Warrener for GTA V

I improved the model's mesh (smoothing, how reflections look on it), addeed some tuning from the Warrener HKR and also modelled the new engine bay for it. The mod itself is made by TheF3nt0n and Bondergomme.

Soo, is there anything else to expect from me? Well there is one car coming later this year for GTA IV. After that I am not quite sure what I'm going to do.

[REL] Willard 500







Willard 500 from Grand Theft Auto IV 
Converted to GTA SA and edited by M4k3 
When Willard introduced this generation of model 500 in 1986 nobody took it seriously. The designers, who took the older model, shortened it a bit, took off the older 5.0L V8 and put smaller V6 instead and turned it into a FWD car, forgot to shorten the engine bay and, as a result, left too much free space. Though, this car was later recognized as a reliable and cheaper counterpart to bigger luxury sedans of that time. These days, this car is popular among loan sharks and other criminals due to the reliability and low price. 

Replaces Willard by default.

Features:
  • Works with and without ImVehFt and VehFuncs. Replacing brake hubs texture is no longer required for non-ImVehFt users. 
  • IVF Features: improved dirt on wheels, body and windows (use SAMPGraphicRestore in SAMP), brake hubs, steering wheel, brake lights, fog lights, indicators, reverse lights.
  • Optimized model and textures.
  • Works in SAMP.
  • New custom numberplates - San Andreas plates with changeable text (just like default GTA SA plates). 2 extra San Andreas plate variants and a Robada plate can spawn with VehFuncs installed.

  • Can be used with SkyGFX, ENB Series, GFXHack or without them.

  • Uses scratches and shattered windows textures from vehicle.txd. GTA V styled scratch and shatter textures can be found inside Bonus folder.
  • Should be used with M4k3's New Car Animations mod.
  • Can be tuned in TransFender.
  • GTA SA styled reflections matching those of _F_ (Birdie). Brighter reflection texture (for windows, chrome, rims and lights) can be added in vehicle.txd from Bonus folder.
