Hey (i wasnt here for a while), i just wan to ask if now we have way to resize sty file? I mean Can i create one file with 3 districts styles combined?
I remember it being done with GTA1 textures for GTA2 but unfortunately not all the cities for GTA2, as you can guess each one has about ~900 tiles/textures so thats nearly ~2700 for the 3 cities!
Even if you could fit all the art in the STY file, you'd still need to increase the map size to have all the cities in one GMP. It would be cool but I find even the normal maps too large for multiplayer. At least we can add flying vehicles now, so it won't take so long to travel.
There is 10 bits reserved for tile_id, that means max 1024 tiles possible to add into GMP, thus also 1024 tiles to STY files. All tiles must be 64x64 pixels, so you cant add more by resizing the tiles either.
First tile_id cannot be used, and i think the last 2 tilepages (4*4*2 tiles) cant be used either, for some mystical reason. I think it had something to do with animations.
