To access the files, find the Rockstar Games folder, then GTA SA, then DATA. There should be a carcols.dat file that can be opened in notepad. Maybe someone can attach the file so you can download it. I do not think my file is original. I back up each file that I edit (except for that one ). It is very important that you do the same since you do not have the disc.

Disregard this because I was talking about GTA SA. Nevermind.

One of the most disappointing features in GTA SA is the one which allows CJ to run a gang. It is hard to find gang members with automatic weapons instead of the handgun. You can run up to a 7 man gang, but you can only fit three in a car. This makes the 7 man gang pretty slow. And when you get to your destination with your gang members, and start a gang war, half your gang gets run over by cars trying to flee. My main question: Is there a way to change the data so that your gang members will carry guns other than pistols or sub machine guns? It would be nice to make them carry shotguns or AKs. I have been looking through the files but I cannot find it. Thanks.

That would be cool because GTA SA is the only computer game I play. Just recently I started to play through it again and added many more custom cars. I'm still trying to tweak things that would make the game more enjoyable to me.

Thanks for the help. Fortunately, I found a two sets of awesome, high-poly cars, which include the Diablo Stallion from GTA III and a flame-skinned Hermes that replaces the Feltzer. I also installed an awesome high-poly Hermes. These are by onepiece, who does amazing work. http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f4707-hdgtapack1-sa http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f5152-hdgtapack2-sa I also installed onepiece's great cop car: http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f3360-high-polyhd-gta3-police-car-for-san-andreas

I will have to try the betting shop again. Before reading about it in this thread, I tried making a bet of $10,000 on two occasions. My horse came in least each time.

A few more.

Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, I cannot add any type of flame (or other graphic) paint job to a car? I thought that could be done with textures?

Good point, that could have been why. I am starting a new game and my health capacity is not upgraded yet. I was away for 3 or 4 hours.

Yeah...you can use the cash cheat, but I'm talking about a legitimate way to earn money for someone playing the game without cheats. If you need money starting off you can walk away from the computer for an hour and get on with your life. I tested it out for a couple hours today but when I came back I had died. The stripper must have touched me resulting in death by security guards.

CJ can earn money while on the dance floor! Stand in front of the stripper and the patrons will throw $100 each. There can be up to 3 patrons at one time. You can position CJ so he intercepts the money. You can walk away from the computer and do anything else. I earned about $30,000 in one hour.

I'm a classic car guy in real life, so I love to have nice cars in GTA.

Hi, GTA SA is the only computer or console game I play. I am always thinking about ways to change it to better suit what I like. One thing that has been bothering me for a long time, is the fact that the Hermes vehicle lacks any fun mods in the Trans Fender shop. I think the Hermes and the Hustler should be modded in the lowrider garage. They are both asking for flame paint jobs like the Broadway, Blade, etc. So, Is there a way to mod the Hermes and Hustler in the lowrider garage instead of the regular TF garage? If not, is there a way to change the modification options for these cars in the regular TF garage? What I really want is the ability to add a flame paint job to either car where I can change the colors of the base coat and the flames. I already tried changing the "carmods.dat" file. The cars that can be modified are listed in the file, grouped according to the garage in which they can be modified. I added the Hermes (with the Broadway's list of mods, into the lowrider group. Nothing happened. Also, one more similar question. In the import garage, there is a wheel called "Shadow," which looks like the vintage 5 spoke wheels on muscle cars. How can I add that wheel to the other garages? Thanks for any help. Justin

I don't know how many times I tried to land after "circling the airstrip," only to find it impossible to come to a safe, controlled landing. I was getting so pissed, and just tired of doing the same one. I was forgetting to open the landing gear upon landing. Remember to open the landing gear. Also, I've never liked the camera or the controls as far as flying goes. It's too hard to see what is around you when you are performing complicated maneuvers.

When you get dual pistols, he holds them sideways.
