Vice Cry Lite 1.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The intent of this mod is to provide a great looking vegetation pack for GTA Vice City while keeping the size and 
performance cost relatively low. It serves as a great alternative to the now taken down mod Vice Cry. Another goal this 
mod achieves is having more compatibility with other mods without the game crashing, for example, when one tries to 
install Vice City Neons with Vice Cry the game ends up crashing but this mod doesn't. You are no more required to have a 
modified executable to  play the  game with ViceCry vegetation and other map mods no MVL no FLA. It features palm
tree LOD system like the original ViceCry.

It just works out of the box considering that you have the pre-requisites for it installed. The mod has been tested and 
adapted for both the original Vice City map,  and the Neo Xbox map. The mod is fully compatible and adapted with VRTP 
and Vice Mips. The mod is also compatible with Sky Full Of Stars, Vice City Neons,  and other various mods that add new 
objects in the map.

	flicker or change resolution when moving the camera.

4. Tools used
Python code for filtering out map objects and generating IDEs and IPLs.
Blender & Photoshop for baking palm tree shadow map textures.

6.Important notes regarding other mods
If you have plugin mods that depend on a resources like ParticleEx, WaterEx, SkyGFX, etc... 
in your modloader foler, then you will have to copy those either to your root directory of the 
game or to the scripts folder altogether including the resources folder (ParticleEx & WaterEx, but not SkyGFX)
or else you will likely crash at loading. Make sure you also followed the step 2.0 before doing so.
