error

[Lopath]

I tried to install a new plane to replace the skimmer, and I followed the readme instusctions exacly. But, everytime I start up the game, the loader screen stops when its inches away from 100% and gives me some error, saying that the "exception" is unknown or something, and that it's at the adress "0057901d".

What can I do to fix this?

Edit: and i already re-installed everything, and it still gives me the same error.

When you reinstalled, did you delete the GTA VC file at my computer/local disc/program files/rockstar games?

delete which file? Deleting the entire gtavc folder wouldnt have let him get into gtavc.exe to start it.

It sounds like you have one too many or too few files in gta3.img

Check to see that you have two skimmer files - skimmer.txd and skimmer.dff - you should NOT have more than one file of each of those. You should not add any extra files named after the new plane either. Remember only plane mods will work for planes, and only vice city mods will work in vice city

Try installing the DMagic1 wheel mod as well as the skimmer mod. This is needed if the creator of the new vehicle has given the new vehicle new wheels.

If none of this works, (keep the dmagic1 wheel mod installed) reinstall vice city. Replace one type of thing at a time for the new place. Just replace the dff+txd in gta3.img, if that works replace the default.ide line (if there is one), if that works replace the handling, then the carcols etc. You should be able to find out exactly where the problem is, and it might even be the mod itself, or the instructions.

Download a different similar mod (another plane for example) and compare the instructions to see if there are too many numbers or not enough commas or something. Also make sure that gta3.img is not read-only.

If you still can't get it to work, try another mod, try and find a VCM version of the mod (automatic installation) and contact the author of the mod.

Well the VC uninstaller sucks. If you uninstall VC, it leaves behind the data and models folder. Try uninstalling VC like normal, then manually deleting those folders, then delete for gtavc.set file in My Documents/GTAVC User Files. Then reinstall and run.

Yeah, I completely uninstalled every possible GTA file on my PC, and deleted every trace of its existance. I re-installed it and now it works fine. Now all I have to do is remember to never play around in those .img files again.

Thanks all.
