I own GTA3 and GTA:VC for PS2, but my discs are kinda old and scratched up, I'd like to get them for Xbox. Since I don't have SA yet, I thought I'd pick up the trilogy since it has all three and the packaging looks really cool. However, I've been hearing that there's two versions of GTA:SA out for Xbox, and one of them doesn't allow any modding of any kind because of the hot coffee mod. I don't care about the hot coffee mod, but one reason I want the Xbox version is for modding things into it. Does anyone know which version of the game comes in the trilogy, and if there's any way to get the mods working on it, or if it only blocks hot coffee and the other mods still work? Thanks in advance.

well I don't know which SA comes with that pack however,
I wrote a tutorial that allows you to install "most" mods on the San Andreas Second Edition.
They removed the files for hot coffee from the gta3.img file (and maybe somewhere else as well)

however normally, you can't make any kind of modification to the gta3.img file. This stops you from making vehicle mods, re-skins ect.
Well I thought that was kinda unfair to I wrote a tutorial for noobs to allow them to enjoy mods, Second Edition or not. (I think other script mods "should" work, but i haven't got around to testing any yet.)
Heres my tutorial:

All you need is to replace the v2 default.xbe for San Andreas, with a moddable v1 default.xbe for san andreas. Sorry but I can't tell you where to get it.. Good luck!

EDIT: Beat me to it z28. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

you can always apply my PPF patch to the default.xbe file (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Wow, kickass, I think I'll go ahead and get the trilogy then.

And just for laughs, if I replace the xbe with the 1st edition, can I run Hot Coffee? I might try it once for laughs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But overall I think it sounds like a good deal, as long as I'm able to throw in custom cars and stuff then all is well.
