Should my whels be very large on my cars?

I modded 2 cars to look like a Shelby GT500 and a Ford GT-40 and both cars have very large wheels. Is there something i did wrong?

Possibly... Did the mods come with info on changes for other files in a .readme type doc? If so, did you do what they said?

What I'm thinking is there should have been a line for change in the game's 'vehicles.ide' file (found in the data folder). A group of 3 numbers in that file control wheel size. Here's an example:

 400,	landstal, 	landstal, 	car, 		LANDSTAL, 	LANDSTK, 	null,	normal, 	10,	0,	0,		-1, 0.94, 0.94,		0

The group of 3 near the end of the line are the ones you're after. It starts with the -1 and the next two numbers scale the wheel.

The way the wheel is scaled is also dependent on the first number's value - whether it's -1,0, or 1 (I think -it's been awhile). Anyway, that's where your problem might be. So if you haven't entered those changes or you did and they're still big, you'll have to play around with those parameters until they look right.

alright, thanks.

Thanks too, I needed to see that. But why can't it just be increase 1, 2, 3 or decrease 3, 2, 1the number to change the size?

The short answer, that would need a whole new section of code. SA literally has over 1/2 million lines of code just in

MAIN.SCR already.

Blackjack (& I presume the other casino games) alone takes something like 5000 lines of code to work.

5000 lines? I don't think so...

Maybe 1000 or 2500 but not 5000.

Yeah, I looked while I was making my script edit.
