		Brass Knuckle Notes

	About This Mod

  I decided to make this mod after getting tired of looking at the crude, poorly-shaped and sized default that Rockstar supplies. Any of the other mods for the knuckle I came across involved items that looked nothing like the original (a claw or whatever) and that's not what I wanted. Plus I wanted to try my hand at modelling something for the game. So this mod is the end result. It comes with 10 different textures to select from.

	Installation

 - After unpacking this archive into a folder somewhere, your first step should be to view the included picture to make your decision on which texture you want to apply to the knuckle. Once you do, either copy (recommended) or rename the selected .txd file and give it the name 'brassknuckle.txd'

 - Now load Img Tool, find 'gta3.img' in the game's Models folder and open it to make a backup of the original files you're going to change. Their names are 'brassknuckle.txd' and 'brassknuckle.dff'. So search for and export these files to somewhere safe.

 - Using the 'Replace' command, change the two files named in the previous step to the ones from this mod.

 - Lastly, use the 'Rebuild Archive' command to update the gta3.img file. This is something you should be doing any time you're manually changing files, especially when sizes of the original and replacement are different. It's a good habit to get into and will prevent problems down the road later.

  All that's left now is to load up the game, find the knuckle if you're not already wearing it, and check out the new look.

  Enjoy!
