NotYouHaha Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Exactly what ¢נ 4 ζﾌ 乇√乇尺 said. If you're having problems, give us details on your problems. What is happening that is giving you this problem? Error code? Nothing happening? Just us a screenshot and maybe what mod you're installing and that way, we can help you easier. Well, if you're trying to install a vehicle, you can always use IMG Tool, which is a little more complicated than SAMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said by NOTYOUHAHA Hell complicated as its manual and SAMI is automatic. And SAMI installs your Vehicle MOD and SAMI scripts clean. And SAMI warns you if the file is coruppted.

tessathiel Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 if it isn't a vehicle mod, then sami won't install it and a box appears saying that it needs a script. and a few minutes ago, i installed a vehicle and replace the Vortex and i went into the game and tried to get it using the vortex cheat and the game crashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYouHaha Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well, for the non-vehicle mods, try putting it in a folder, and check the folder box when you're installing it. For the Vortex thing, the mod is probably corrupt; you should probably carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessathiel Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 even if the mods i find are only one file? i can see the file being corrupt, but how much of a difference would putting a single file into a folder make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give me the error message? Either type it out of take a screenshot. And putting a non-vehicle mod in a folder just 'works' for me, I don't know how & why, but it just does. ---- If it's the one below, you have to use IMG Tool to install the mod. It is not compatible with SAMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLICK-R392 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah..!! Whats wrong. What did you try to install by the way. U cant just select a folder or winrar just like that...it should have both DFF & TXD files or a SAMI scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessathiel Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 well, the ones i am finding only have .rar filenames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And putting a non-vehicle mod in a folder just 'works' for me, I don't know how & why, but it just does. ---- If it's the one below, you have to use IMG Tool to install the mod. It is not compatible with SAMI. that is the message that pops up Read my post: "You have to use IMG Tool to install the mod. It is not compatible with SAMI." You can do it yourself, just follow these instructions: Installing Mods There are a number of ways you can install mods. The first is manually (using the dffs and txds), and another is using GGMM (GTA Garage Mod Manager) which is an quicker way to install mods Manually Installing a car into San Andreas PC v1 This is the most common and popular type of modding, for one of the most popular games of all time. The basic steps are as follows: Download and extract the mod, replace the DFF and TXD into gta3.img (If backing up, rename the files you are replacing in gta3.img first, for example, from dumper.dff to dumper_old.dff), replace the lines in handling.cfg, carcols.dat, default.ide, vehicles.ide and carmods.dat (If such replacement files/lines are included in the mod), run the game and test the mod. So... 1. Extract the mod file(s) to a folder... 2. Open GTA3.IMG with IMG Tool 2, and find the file you want to replace. Rename it for backup. 3. Use the Command/Add option and add the file you extracted in Step 1 to gta3.img. If the mod has other files such as handling.cfg, carmods.dat, etc...you can simply add those files, but if have previously modified the files then you will need to only replace the required line or your other mods won't work. Open the files in your San Andreas/data folder with Notepad. Replace the lines. If you want to back up the files, copy the one you want to backup to your desktop, rename the one in the data folder (like handlingold.cfg) and move the one on your desktop back to the data folder) Use the regular one for mods. 4. Remember to backup the .dat, .cfg, and .ide files if they need modded. 5. Copy the lines to the files in the data folder. If you have problems, give us the download link to the mod, and we'll be glad to help. EDIT: well, the ones i am finding only have .rar filenames Download WinRAR and then you can open the .rar folder.

tessathiel Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 so what is winrar going to help me with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damjan Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) It can open .rar or .zip or .7z files. And IMG Tool is way better for adding mods,SAMI is for noobs(no offense)that are new to the modding scene.IMG Tool can rebuild the archive,SAMI doesn't.

SLICK-R392 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Winrar are files that extract the zipped folder which ever mod you download will be zipped to extract (spread) it you need winrar. And if SAMI is installed then right click the winrar file and you will see a option called "INSATLL WITH SAMI" But it should be a car containing both DFF & TXD files or it should have a SAMI script. So if have a winrar just right click and install with SAMI. Remember only cars with DFF & TXD or SAMI scripts Now i hope u do know what is SAMI scripts?

tessathiel Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 i somewhat know what sami script is, though i don't just want to install cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ah, it's pretty well known that SAMI sucks because it corrupts mods, mostly car mods. Use the tutorial provided by NotYouHaha, that way you can see if it's SAMI or the mod itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYouHaha Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 i somewhat know what sami script is, though i don't just want to install cars. You haven't answered ANY OF MY QUESTIONS. What do you want us to do? What mod are you installing? Give me some answers please. I don't gain any info about what you want from "i somewhat know what sami script is, though i don't just want to install cars." I know you've come onto the forums for a reason.
