Okay, imo the OpenIV team is one of the best in creating mods. OpenIV has been around since GTA IV and has since then been the best way to mod your game with cars, peds etc. And now they are adding GTA IV's map into GTA V's. How cool is that. I know other modders have attempted this and or are still busy with making it, but having this team work on it makes it a lot better plus this is the first one I saw not needing a multiplayer mod or having to replace Los Santos or Blaine County. Liberty City will be added as a whole across the ocean San Andreas is in.

The real question is will LSPDFR support Liberty city? I know that we have LCPDFR, but I prefer GTA V graphics and the game in general to IV. Would be cool if it added an entire fleet of base game LCPD cars and allowed you to have callouts in the streets of Algonquin. It's probably too soon to answer my question but I'm just really excited.

 

for anyone who hasn't seen OpenIV's teaser yet:

Wow! This would be an incredible mod indeed. However, if we really think about it, it's not going to look exactly how we want it, but I'm excited to see what in store for the future of this mod. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Putting Liberty City in GTA V, to play LSPDFR, as the LCPD.

We've come full circle boys.

 

All joking aside, this looks really cool actually. I'm not sure how the support would be with call out locations and peds/traffic but I'm sure after a good while of development something could sorta work. Might not work as well as the regular map but I've been wrong before.

I'm no coder, Although it's the exact same map so couldn't users just re-user their LCPDFR plugins? I mean obviously it'll have to be re-written but some of the work is there considering it's all the same locations and stuff just different game.

 

Although OP I doubt the LC map would be officially supported by the team as they don't use third party things (although i'm no dev so i'm not confirming or denying it) however chances are a plugin developer will most likely create a callout pack for LC. Honestly i can't see this not being used it brings up a lot of options for players to play as cops in LC again so i'm sure it won't go un-used

I'm pretty sure all coordinates (e.g. for callouts, like shops) will be messed up, but that's fixable.

 

I really really like the idea and I hope it'll be a success. Liberty City is way better than V's rather lackluster city part of the map.

I think the coordinates shouldn't be an issue either. I'm wondering if the Team will implement traffic and Peds that actually have viable paths and ambient feel to make it worthwhile to play in, that could take quite a bit of work seeing how GTAs AI paths and code in general is usually finicky, although I've never messed with it my self.

 

I think patrolling Liberty City would be a blast again, accompanied by the stability and performance of GTA V, and not to mention the graphics.

It most likely will have peds and vehicles. in order to use LC in GTA V you need to have IV installed so it will probably just reuse peds and vehicles from IV

I meant, coordinates hardcoded into stuff like callouts - e.g. for my store robberies, it's highly unlikely there'll be a store in that exact location.

If all goes well, I'd definitely take a trip back :D

 

I've always wanted to do one of these.
