Back to the Future Mod for GTA: Vice City

From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki

Back to the Future: Hill Valley is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that allows players to time travel in Vice City via all variants of the DeLorean time machine and the Jules Verne Time Train, as well as travel in cars from 1955, 1985, and 2015.

[edit] Overview

A screenshot of the DeLorean time machine reaching temporal displacement plus the altered HUD.

The player starts at the mansion with a regular DeLorean DMC-12 parked in the driveway. There is no specific goal at the moment, other than freeroam. The player can drive to Sunshine Autos and construct one of three Part I DeLorean time machines( with hook, with out hook, and regular) . Then the player drives to the junkyard to obtain the plutonium from the Libyans. The Libyans (albeit represented by angry Haitian gang members here) chase the DeLorean in a Volkswagen bus once the player leaves the junkyard, with one member shooting at the DeLorean. The player can either choose to escape via time travel, drive until it crashes and explodes, or use any weapons to destroy it.

DeLorean on take-off

Once the plutonium in inserted into the fuel chamber (with the character standing behind the vehicle) and time circuits are engaged (performed by a combination of keys, or changeable via the options menu), the vehicle is capable of reaching temporal displacement at 88 mph, displayed on the bottom right of the screen. Once a jump to year 2010 or higher is made, the Part II DeLorean and the two Part III DeLoreans (1955 and 1885 railroad) become available at Sunshine Autos, allowing hover capabilities for the Part II DeLorean.

In any time, the Jules Verne Time Train spawns at the top of Vercetti Estate. Its features, while similar, are wholly unique to the Time Train.

New heads-up display

There is work being done on altering 1985 to look like disheveled 1985-A, as well as models for 1885. Some of the newest features for the mod include cold DeLoreans, the Time Train, a re-enactment of Doc's first time travel experiment, and instantaneous temporal displacement.

The 0.2e release, which released October 26, 2008, includes updates to the Time Train with moving parts, instantaneous temporal displacement, enhanced lighting effects and hover effects, smoothing out of harsh transitions, and the first cutscenes, including one based on Back to the Future: The Ride.[1]

Version 0.2f will include Doc Truck animations, The C.P.R.R #131 Rogers locomotive, a revamped courthouse square for hill valley, various bug fixes and a special suprise - Coming Soon

[edit] Maps

The Ride Mission

The maps will include all of the Hill Valley's, including 1885, 1955, 1985, 1985-A, and 2015. The maps will replace all of Vice City with the famous buildings and landmarks. With these maps the player can go to 1955 and get a coffee, go to 2015 and get a hover conversion, or just fly around in 1885. The maps will be highly detailed to make you feel as if you are actually in Hill Valley.

1955: The first of the 5 Hill Valleys is being created currently, with Courthouse Square, Hill Valley High School, Doc's mansion, Hill Valley Train Station, Library, and some residential buildings finished. The city plane currently sits in midair above the Vice City airport.

[edit] Missions

There will be missions in the 0.2e release of the "Back to the Future: Hill Valley" modification, which will include "The Ride Mission" and the "1955 Clocktower Race" for Marty to get back to 1985.
