Hello everyone! This is an ongoing project that aims to make general corrections and improvements to the GTA 3 map, similar to the goal of Proper Fixes for GTA San Andreas. In short, to "refine" the game.

The idea is to bring the definitive original map to GTA 3, avoiding changing the look, but making the game more enjoyable. The main changes in summary are:

*General bug fixes or errors (models, textures, collisions, object positions, object definitions, 2dfx);
*Improvements to the models, based on the same or similar models from other games of the same era (later GTAs up to Vice City Stories, and Manhunt), or some remastered ones respecting the original design, still in the game's standard;
*Texture improvements following the same rule mentioned above, using the game's original standard (256x256 or 512x512 for streets, the same as GTA 3 for Xbox and SA) in order to reduce the inconsistency between good and bad quality textures. Additionally, it applies mipmap and compression to all of them, thus correcting aliasing and optimizing file size;
*Addition of Xbox details (without lightmaps, and only subtle things), or LCS (also only subtle things), but PS2 details take priority. But the mod uses the PC files as a base;
