( Or you may view it online, at cyberdb.org/gtasa/mm/v5/Change.log ) ________________________________________________________________________ 5) KNOWN BUGS & ISSUES ______________________________ Since version 0.5, the "halfgood" edition, they've all been eliminated. :) If your game crashes, your computer probably can't handle the new graphics and added functions. If you do find bugs, however, let me know! My email is: cyberdyze@gmail.com ________________________________________________________________________ 6) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS _______________________ Q - Why did you remove all those CLEO scripts included in the last version?! A - Each seperately loaded script added weighs down on the gameplay, and with the increased detail and graphic in this edition, I had to remove some as to not overload the game. Q - Why won't the next version of this mod be out until the end of this year (IOW, in over 10 months)? A - Even without the CLEO mods, my computer has a hard time handling the increased detail, thus I will resume modding only when I get ahold of a new computer, and that might take a while! :P Q - Can I take over this mod? A - It's not dead, but feel free to build upon it! Additional modifications that add a new set of vehicles or similar ontop of this mod are always much appriciated! Q - Is this mod dead? A - Just said no, didn't I? :P It is in hiatus however, until I get a better computer, one that can handle the addition modding and graphical intensification this requires. Q - This is a great mod, can I share it with other people? What can I do to contribute? A - Sure, share and share alike, that's the license. You can contribute by building additional mod packs that can be run simultaneously with this mod, or by reporting any bugs you may encounter. ________________________________________________________________________ 7) CREDITED AUTHORS _______________________ In total the number of seperate additions in this single package go way past the thousand! I did start sending emails to all mod authors I intended to use content from, and recieved confirmatives from all who replied, but after many bounced emails & lack of contact info I discarded the idea. Instead I'd just like to thank everyone whos pieces are included in this gigantic package. It wouldn't have been created without you! Managing them all as one project is work enough, I hope you're fine with this, and you can always let me know though cyberdyze@gmail.com . ________________________________________________________________________ 8) USEFUL LINKS _______________________ http://www.gta-downloads.com http://www.gtaforums.com http://www.gtainside.com - http://gtag.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=410&hl=trainer http://www.theborggaming.net/ http://shadowsrealm.co.uk/tutdb/ - http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=298780 - http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=195143 - http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1194 - http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=302908&st=360 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=267202&hl=adding+additional+weapons http://www.thegtaplace.com/sastats/index.php?user=cyberdevil http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/ http://www.gtamodding.com http://www.ovisebdan.com/ http://dyom.gtagames.nl/ http://harm.toshiba-3.com/ Few ideas for future versions: - Police, SWAT & FBI no longer always drop weapons - A hundred additional tag locations ingame - Shooting practices outside.
