		Hidden Peds Mod Version 1.0

	About The Mod
	
   This mod enables a sizeable group of pedestrians that were either disabled or restricted in their actions in the public release versions of GTA-San Andreas. However, their textures, models and other various data were left intact in various game files. This made it possible for me to re-activate them without too much trouble, like having to try and add any from scratch. There are 19 different peds in total. With the exception of the two black pool players, all have never been seen on the streets before in a normal game on the PC.
   These additional characters all act normally and will appear in various areas of the map, drive vehicles and do all the other things that regular peds do. All have working audio and respond to different events in the appropriate fashion. Some have more to say than others though - which is perfectly normal. For all of them, I have tried to make sensible choices about where they should appear and how they should act, etc..

	The New Pedestrians

   Below is a list of the people added and a description of where they
can be found, along with any other relevant info:

 - Lifeguard: Found doing his job in any beach area where he jogs
   around checking out the babes mostly
 - Pimp: Roams the poor areas of LS & LV so as not to be far from his
   women should they need him or vice-versa
 - Preacher: Ministers to the unwashed masses in all populated areas
 - Hispanic and Biker drug dealers: Located in SF & LV respectively,
   they fill in the void in these spots and supply the goods
 - Psycho: Known only as the Psycho, he's an ex-pat from a Slavic
   country who loves to take advantage of the average American
   whenever and wherever he can
 - Rich Kid: Lurking the rich parts of town, he tries to fit in with
   the general population by dressing down
 - Pool Players: Having scammed enough suckers at the table, they're
   spending some of their ill-gotten gains on wine, women & song
 - Black Bouncer: In contrast to the last two, he's stepping out of
   the noisy, smoke-filled club to get some fresh air
 - Old Security Guard: Knowing his soon-to-be-collected pension won't
   help, he stays working in low-risk warehouses to get a paycheck
 - Mafia Gang: Looking to muscle in on new territory, they placed
   themselves where they can aim their sights on local gangs
 - Mafia Thugs: With new orders from the families, their job now is to
   hassle the locals to get them to gamble more of their money away
 - Two guys in suits: Elusive and difficult to photograph for some
   unknown reason, these two have been rumored to be seen around the
   LV police department. Little else is known about them

	Installing The Peds

   Fortunately, adding the new bunch is very straightforward and requires no file editing or additions. Start by backing up your 'peds.ide' and 'pedgrp.dat' files, found in your 'Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\data' folder, to somewhere safe. Then copy the two files found in this archive to the data folder and you're good to go. All necessary changes are already included in these files.

	Closing Info

   You may have noticed there were no new women added... This isn't for lack of my trying though! There were a few inactive ones that I tried but for some strange, frustrating reason the game absolutely refused to accept them. Each time I tried to add one, it would crash the game! Even after trying to make a new one using an existing model and just changing the texture and cloning all other game data, I'd get the same negative results! In the end, I had to abandon the idea - at least until I either get lucky or get more info.
