I have no idea on how to edit replys in this forum!!!

Well, I installed the wheels mod with the instructions of your site and it worked... but, I tried installing a lamborgini diablo... hell, I followed all the instructions.... first it crashed after the loading game thing, so i deleted the game save. It works fine, I couldnt find any infernus (wich is the one I replaced in the gta3.img) so I went to the mall.

It crashes, when getting near the parking lot, and getting near the infernus inside the mall.......

What might be the problem???

what model did you use? (download link?)

also you can't edit your posts if they are more than 15 minutes old.

check the stock ide file and the modded line.  Make sure the spacing is the same.  If anything looks out of place, fix it.

nop, the file is "good" (the only difference is that infernus line, spacing good and all)

try getting a fresh download.  Also when you edit the gta3.img file try to only edit two or three files at a time then rebuild.

I tried a model just like the one you tried and got it to work but in the end it slowed down the game too much anyway...
(but at least it looked good)

also my IM and e-mail is in my sig.

In my case, it just crashed the game while loading the car..... What does the default.ide(i think) file does? I'm using the orginal one, without the modified infernus line and it works fine....

and, whats up with the custom soundtrack.... it sounds like.... slow..... different tone.....

and, can I add you to my msn messenger list?

I don't remember exactly, but I think it has to do with the custom wheels?
not totally sure on that one.

like I said before, it'll run a little slow.  If your playing a custom soundtrack it just means the xbox HDD has gotta load the game, custom car, and music.

you could but I'm never on that.  Most of the time I'm on yahoo.  If not, then PM me on XS.

Its just the music from the custom soundtrack, the radio stations sound well.... and if I play from the disc the custom sountrack is stll slowish.......

the game copys data to the disk cache even when run from the DVD.  It must read the map data and the m$ dash soundtracks at the same time.  This is why its slow.  The in game radio stations go with the map data on the cache I believe.

could be both but like I said before I'm not really sure.

But with my last soundtrack (30 songs, I deleted to add a new one) it sounded well... migth it be that I have way too many songs for 1 soundtrack?

that wouldn't effect it.

Think of it this way.

on the E drive

you have file A=100mb
file B=100mb


now on a different section of the HDD on the X,Y, or Z drive
you have the GTA data in game

the HDD can't read everything at once so it slows down to read back and forth.
The reason it reads better with the in game radio stations is they go on to the X, Y, or Z drives with the game data.

I could be the music.  Did you rip a Cd that wasn't scratched?
I could also be the performance of the HDD
Also are you using a stock HDD?
If new was it brand new or used from a computer?
