Ranger Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 HI, I am new to Vice City only about 4 months old. I downloaded some mods for Vice City. Some required VCMM which I used. But some required opening and editing the Gta3.img file in models folder. I have searched most of the net even downloaded 7 programs that open .img files but every time I try 2 open gta3.img file,I get an error that it cannot be opened. I reinstalled the game several times using my friends cd's even the original one but I cannot open the .img file. So the mods cannot be activated. on the net,.img files are classified as a bitmap Is t really so?? PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ help!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 search rocketla and and select rocketla.txt and rocketla.dff... delete them...the put comands/add... or control+a... and find the new rocketla.txt and rocketla.dff... **they must be unziped** ok... when u put the new rocketla.txt and rocketla.dff on the gta3.img... go to comands/rebuild... it will take seconds... and thats it!! It's rocketla.txd, not rocketla.txt. txt are text (notepad) files. my first mod installed on my gta was a 6 rocket launcher... i couldn't use it... i replace all... but i dont know wtf happens... so... some mods doesn't work... You also have to edit the weapons.dat (not sure about the extension) and put in the new lines for rocket launcher or it won't act like it had 6 rockets.
