Splinter what img tool do you use?
I tried that insertjokehere's img tool and it was much slower with my hacked img and my defualt img when I tried 2 rebuild them.

, my problem is i don't know what numbers to put in for the wheelmod, or if i even need the wheel mod. Thanks for the help anyway, and if anyone can help me put skins on the cars in GTA3, or send me a skin that they know works, that would be great, thanks ahead of time! You can reach me on AIM, my s/n is: bigB653. Please help.

Edit: I finally got one to work, it had to do with the compression, i d/led the TXD Workshop 3.1 and all, well, almost all is well. My next problem that i need help with is why the texture isn't there, does that have something to do with the mod i got, or am i doing something wrong? Thanx ahead of time, again.

I use IMG Tool 1.3. i don't know if it is the newsest version, but I had it on my computer already. I had downloaded mod tools a few months ago when poepl just speculated about adding new skins. It is quick and never takes more than 2 minutes to redo the gta3.img file.

The little guide was at first meant for grimful, then I just changed it to be for anyone who thinks this seems like too much work.

Sometimes I have had cars just not show up. I am not sure why. I had one car show up one time after putting it in, but the next few times I put it in again, it never showed up.

I was looking on http://www.planetgrandtheftauto.com/ last night. I went to see their map mods. I downloaded 2 files. One was supposed to add a bridge from the docks to the southern part of the first island. The other made one go from the North Point Mall to the dirtbike trail on the second island. All they needed was for me to replace do directories in the map directory. I did it and they both worked. Its funny though, the north bridge has some shrubs growing up from it, and at the other end you are next to a roof. Its not big thing, but I'm happy to get them to work. I am going to try a few other things soon. i think as long as they are small, and only need you to overwrite an old folder, than it will be ok

I downloaded some skins that are only BMPs. Anyone know what i can use to convert them to TXDs and DFFs so i can put them in?

Yes! We can move to the GTA forum now instead of this 50 page long post!

OK, i made a new topic in the new forum about my map mods since this thread is out of control. http://forums.xbox-s...T&f=89&t=229767

I don't understand this. I downloaded a skin of Lara Croft. I replaced my player files with her and it worked fine. later I wanted the police skin to be of her instead, so all the cops would be Lara Croft. When I did that, the game loads but has just a black screen. I tried it several times too.

I have a cop skin I want to use, but it is a bmp and I don't know how to use it yet. I hope that one will work though.

Is theis topic going to be moved into the dedicated gta forum

And has anybody installed the dmagic wheel mod. I have fallowed all this:

1. Add this line to the default.dat file below MODELFILE MODELS\GENERIC\wheels.dff.
MODELFILE MODELS\GENERIC\nowheel.DFF

2. Change this line in the default.ide
# wheels: 250-257

Change it to
# wheels: 250-257, 249

3. Add this file to the \models\Generic folder.
nowheel.DFF

4. Add this line below the line 256, wheel_smallcar, generic, 2, 20, 70, 0 in the default.ide
249, wheel_lightmod, generic, 2, 20, 70, 0

does the fourth step mean you replace line 256 or add another line 256 below it?? I have tried both to no avail

The BMP only skins replace the default hawiian shirt that you have at the start of the game,jsut replace it in the game folder

I wish this was moved. I think for now on all new questions should just be placed in the new forum. maybe things like this should be in the weird guide I made. once I get all of this down. Like figure out what makes some things work and other fail, getting maps in, and basic file editing, I may make a formal guide and submit it. What do you all think? It doesn't matter if everyone else does too. I want to do it for myself to. I have newer games I want to focus on, and without a well written guide done by myself, when I come back to the game, i will forget everything.

insertjokehere,
That means to add the line. It doesn't even have to be under the line it says. I put it higher so that it would be in order. It changes nothing, but I like order.

Everything else just double check. Copy and paste the lines in. Unless you changed an existing car's default.ide entry, then they will still all have the regualr wheels. It is the new cars that get new ones. If it is not working, then when you put a new car in that is set for the custom wheels, they will show up with no wheels. It happened to me by mistake in my early testing. I had replaced a car in my Sunshine Auto. I had other problems, so i put things back to normal, excaept I forgot the deafult.ide. So the car just kind of floated. As soon as I tried to get in, it froze.

So are your new cars wheel-less? I don't know what else to tell you besides to check your work.

in the tutorial you said delete the GTA_VC.CAP.FINAL . i searched for this file and it does not exist. What do i do?

pimp · « **Reply #72 on:** November 20, 2003, 04:24:00 PM »

hey, i was messing around today, and made the guns stronger and shoot faster, cops are afraid of you, and there night sticks dont hurt you, and one hit kill when you punch someone. this is just skimming what you can do.

All you have to do, is get a data file from gta:vice city in the data folder, and ftp it to your comp. Then open it up in notepad. There is a list of directions, on what you can change. alter the stuff you want, and then ftp it back to where you got it, and when you turn your xbox on to play gta:vice city, BAM!! All the stuff you changed is working perfectly!

~Good Luck~

Handling.cfg very much does NOT work for me. I don't know where it's pulling the stock values from but it's not that file.
