Pandora Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Car stats go in the handling.cfg file. Just search it. Open it with wordpad or something and find the car you want to edit. Then just replace all those numbers after the car name with the one you got with the mod. Car files go in the gta3.img file. Open it with the IMG tool. *a few minutes later* Bleh, I can't find it in the database. *looks again* Oh, it was in the tool section (I was looking at SA tools. Not just tools). So here. IMG tool Find car file. Delete it (perhaps you'll first want to make a back-up) and then add the file you got with the mod. Extract doesn't work for some weird reason. So just find and replace [carhere].dff and [carhere].txd. That's all. And then edit handling.cfg No idea for that wheel mod. Give a link and I might be able to help. Also, for cars and handling and all the other stuff: SAMI Great little tool. Needs installing though. All this time I was thinking you needed help for SA..

Urbanoutlaw Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Dmagic's wheemod tells the game your car comes w/ it's own wheels instead of using the ones already GTA3.IMG, as I recall you place a dummy model in the IMG file (the README should cover this, if not there's still plenty of people who play & mod VC). To make a new car work using wheelmod, you also have to edit DEFAULT.IDE in DATA. Find the original name of the car you replaced. For example you replaced the Blista Compact w/ a tuned CRX, find the entry for Blista & look for the entry for WHEEL (next to last) & change it to the number for wheelmod (I think 249). Now your new CRX will show up w/ custom wheels it came w/, otherwise you have an error that crashes your game. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamamee17 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 like i said i am a beginner at all of this, so is the wheel mod only useful for changing tyres or whole vehicles? plus when i try to install it a message comes up saying it's not being installed in the right folder (when i am trying to install it in the right folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
