GTA Liberty City & Los Santos (Map Ports)

[SWBFSpy]

Liberty City is a particularly challenging map to port to SWBF, the newer versions (much nicer) are too bugged with way too large models. The original prototype using naboo assets is also full of bugs but I have most of them fixed now with new features added. I have worked on this map for 3 days so far. Next I will port Earth: Los Santos.

Los Santos has been ported. A smaller map, less polished but still fun. This concludes the GTA map ports for now.
