I had a dream about it when i was sleeping,and woke up and wrote all the details down.
i have around 10% of the info of the ice road at the moment,but i have contacted carlile trucking company and asked theyr help on this project.
if i get all the needed data,then i can start building a real ice road map for san andreas players.

This isnt the right game to map shit like that Imo.
1st of all, you'll need shit ton of textures for snow/ice textures for the roads/truck mods/ getting the roads right and placing land forms and etc correctly, this just isn't the game for this sort of project.

doesnt san andreas have a world boundary? maybe 10km off mainland? I seem to remember running from the cops one time, hitting the wall, and being caught.


EDIT: I just found an explanation. this is a quote i found from some modding site:

Limitations
Each game has different limitations. The most important limit for the instance section is the so-called map boundary, which is a notional boundary around the map. Outside those borders no objects will be visible. If an object is intersecting the bounds it may be displayed incorrectly.





Not to rain on your parade, but I don't see how making a 500km map is possible when the SA map length is maybe 25km long if that

Post by: DeHavilland on January 22, 2012, 10:03
Good luck and I have done this with a other player! :) We made like 150km of road in the sea from LV that had around 18 islands and 4-5 truckstops but sadly we closed the server and the map is somewhere in a pastebin! :P

Post by: Roberto_Treier on January 22, 2012, 14:01
First off all:Prudhoe Bay,Livengood and Fairbanks will be made a little bit smaller.And if i should get problems with that limit(25-40km).im going to make the road a little bit diffrent but still im going for 400km mark atleast.
There will be added gas stations(to use the map on samp).
And If i finish this map,it will be the largest map ever made for San Andreas.
Il post videos of my procress every now and then.
Il come online(into cvt)on monday to see how far trucks and cars can go with a full tank.(to know where to put gas stations).

Looking for 3beta testers.As soon as map is finished.
If all 3beta testers are happy with the results,the map will be released.
If 2 out of 3 are unhappy with the results,the map will be modified and wont be released.

Everyone Who think our team will fail,dont read about our project.

Special Thanks to my team:Immortal Gaming Group.

@Jabroni
All snow and ice textures will be made by my team:Immortal Gaming Group.
We Wont make any truck mods at the moment.
First we must finish our map project. Then we will take a look at truck mods.

Post by: Dr_dog on January 22, 2012, 18:33
i am definatly intrested about the project not cause its "the biggest ever" its because i want to see how you try to build the self icy road. My aussie mate tried same, but he couldnt figure out how to make a breaking ice.
im up for beta testing if space
Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: Anri on January 22, 2012, 18:35
good luck roberto :) nothing wrong against u ...... are u planning to use this map on sa-mp ?
Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: Roberto_Treier on January 22, 2012, 18:53
Yes the finished map can be used in sa-mp.
And at the moment we are building Fairbanks.
our team is going to make couple of test`s with breaking ice,to make the map  realistic.

1st Beta Tester:Dr_Hax

2more Beta Testers needed.
Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: Dr_dog on January 22, 2012, 20:09
hmm, I just remembered how my house was filled with "snow" from liberty city which is nocollide, if you fit a bit of that and under that some breakable glass.
So theres glass and some "snow" to cover the glass texture.

Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: Roberto_Treier on January 22, 2012, 21:27
We will try to use as less objects we can.
And thats one of the reasons why we are looking for beta testers.
If everything goes fine,it should be ok to use in sa-mp.

Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: Roberto_Treier on January 23, 2012, 11:06
Im proud to say that Fairbanks is 75% complete.In 2-3hours we will complete building Fairbanks.And then we will start with the ice road!!!
Title: Re: Largest san map ever.
Post by: JZX73 on January 23, 2012, 14:58
you can get close to the distance you want if you make the road go around the map of sa, if u do the turns wide enough it would give the illusion of a straight road when in reality your doing one big turn.
Title: Re: Largest san map ever.

boundries are clear out in the water. It took me 10mins airbreaking (Stunt server allowing hacks, and used a differant IG name just incase..) to get the pop up 'Get back into would boundries.

Season 5 is already finished, i think they are filming season 6 now.

I also love Alex Debogorski, he's so down to earth, helpful and friendly yet is clearly very good at his job, where as hugh is just a fat cunt that goes steamrolling into things and blames his mistakes on others.

On IRT Deadliest Roads that Lisa Kelly looks as pale as a vampire and her obsession with pets is unhealthy. IMO lol

OT: Can't wait to see this road and I hope you use the SA Map area after deleting the existing.

That's not impossible, but you have a lot of work to do. Keep in mind that you don't have unlimited objects per project. You will have to make the map piece by piece. I had a crazy idea last night as well. I think I will remake the Forbidden City. Just got a 3d representation of it, and soon I will start working on it.
