I know you can manipulate the IPL files, found in /DATA/MAPS/(subzone)

The subzone I am guessing would be the VEGAS or Country folder. Then you will have to look for the file ending with ipl. You can open them with Notepad and then edit the file. You can use the search to find "grge" which is sort for garage.

For example in SF/SFS.IPL you will find;

grge
-2728.53, 212.295, 3.45112, -2716.36, 212.295, -2728.53, 222.669, 8.68705, 1, 5, mds1SFS
-2735.46, 60.7331, 3.07005, -2725.82, 60.7331, -2735.46, 72.8828, 7.92155, 1, 1, tbon
-2454.02, -131.556, 25.0886, -2442.38, -131.556, -2454.02, -113.935, 29.8006, 1, 42, svgsfs1
end

Editing this will make the garage area larger or smaller and even relocate it. The garage name is at the end.

^^^ Fine lad, saves an old man work so I can concentrate on important things, like Xbox.

Does this place a working garage or just an empty building?

If it's a working garage, where do you set how many cars it will hold?

[ericanlord]

Ok I Can Figure That Out But Is There A program that Will Do it For me because the main thing is the garages (in the water big enough for 5 speeders to fit. and at least 10 cars) and then 3 mod shops together for each(optional but wanted), the save maker and the 10000$ asset marker (optional for asset) a wardrobe area, a helipad, etc. is there any program that makes it easier to do this please list them if you can and a small tutorial to show what to do plz and below is a picture of where everything i want to be located:

Thanks Like I Said I Am Looking For Anyone Who Can Help Me Do This Or Has Or Knows Of A program That Will Make This Easy. Making This For A GTA Game Has Been My Life Long GTA Modding Dream. I Also Work With Visual Basic 2008 so if anyone has a bit of coding that will help do this i would greatly appreciate it!

You will need to view CJ's X Y Z coordinates using either a trainer or Sanny Builder has one built in CTRL+ALT+1

Does this place a working garage or just an empty building?

If it's a working garage, where do you set how many cars it will hold?

I will try get a working example posted. But to my knowledge this defines an area (empty parking lot) and stores the cars in the area in memory. But I will check back soon and try to get you those coordinates at the damn too.

EDIT:

For this example, I am going to the garage in Doherty, San Fierro. I am going to enlarge it. You can find this file in the directory: data\maps\SF\SFSe.ipl

The garage is LCKSfse line above, the first 3 coords is the Southwest lower most corner. The next 2 numbers are the Southeast corner without z elevation. The next 3 are the Northwest upper most corner. There are two flags that tell what type the garage and the game ID.

I used # to comment out the original garage. The new line I only increased the height but you can now park a maverick or helicopter on top of the current garage rooftop. If you have the helicopter placed properly, it will vanish as the door closes. It reappears when the door opens. You can use an ambulance to get back on top of the roof.

Sorry got to sleep... Next.

Here I expanded the garage outwards toward the North and West...

So now I can park cars in the front lot. But when the door closes they do a space ghost and reappear when you return.

Here is a few sample shots the most cars I could fit in the garage area was 4 the bike kept vanishing for good.
