Re: Grand Theft Auto Discussion
now the link to SAMI is working.
well SAMI is a mod installer, it takes care of Installing/Uninsatlling & backup.
IMG tool is used for Installin the mod files manually to the "
gta3.img" file. this is the file which holds the whole San Andreas, cars, boats....
now lets come to installing part. with IMG Tool.
for example if you want to install 2002 BMW 760i.
first read the readme file, in our case, this BMW replaces GreenWood Car (CJ's bro Sweets car).
=>so open img tool->locate "gta3.img" (GTA San Andreas\Models).
=>in IMG Tool, goto- Edit->find-type "greenwoo" ->find.
=>goto->>
Commands->Extract the files->> "
greenwoo.dff & greenwoo.txd to your prefered folder.
(this is ur backup of original).
=>after extracting them, again select those two files in IMG Tool & goto->>
Commands->Delete (delete the two files, i.e. greenwoo.dff & greenwoo.txd)
==>now goto->>
Commands->add, a window pops up, now select the new(mod) greenwoo.dff & greenwoo.txd. (one by one).
now IMG tool work is done.
=>goto GTA San Andreas\Data folder & open "Handling.cfg" , "vehicles.ide", "Carmods.dat", "Carcols.dat" with
notepad.
modify the data as provided in the readme
but make a back up of DATA folder first, if possible make a backup of "gta3.img" file too (900MB file)
try the 2002 bmw mod, or try any of your choice & tell me if you've any doubts.
