Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for downloading Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Beta 4.0, a total
conversion modification for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Ever since GTA: Vice
City was released, ongoing work has been done to bring the world of GTA III
into the new game engine. This allows you to play with features that are not
present in GTA III (like motorcycles, helicopters, ability to kill vehicle
occupants, and tire bursts). Although there are many similarities between the
two game engines, there are enough complex differences that people are still
working on the project to this day.

Getting Started
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release currently requires you to have existing installations of GTA: Vice
City and GTA III. The installer will delete and replace files so remember to
backup the original copy of the game. After you run the installer, you have to
copy the audio files from GTA III to the installation's audio folder. You must
run gta-lc.exe to play the mod.

What's New in Beta 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Beta 3.3, the project has taken huge strides in faithfully converting
features from GTA III to GTA: Liberty City, in fixing bugs, and in improving
gameplay. Features that have been faithfully converted include:
* All mission garages.
* All cranes.
* The lift bridge.
* Vehicle sound effects.
* All remaining opcodes that were used in GTA III.
* Nearly all ped sound effects.
* Script-specific special character sound effects.
* Motion blur effects.
* Weather tint.
* Nearly all cheats.
* All looping script sounds.
* Car alarms.
* Police scanner audio for zones and vehicles.

fixed.

Future Work
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mod is far from complete. Major features that are missing from the release
or need more work in the future include:
* Cutscene head animations.
* Car crusher behavior.
* Train behavior.
