Rakim Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Firstly i want to say greets to all.Aside from that i am having a problem (a couple actually) with my GTA PC game whereas specific mods wont uninstall i installed the San fierro police car mod and now for what ever reason it wont uninstall from the hard drive i was haivin the typical loading halfway then stopping issue that alot of the guys here were discussing so b4 i asked for help i decided to read the forum a bit and i found that the usual answer was to reinstall so thats what i set out to do and upon my checking for residual folders(something i always so after an uninstall) i found that there were indeed some R* remnants layin around so i proceeded to delete them in order to get a totally "clean" reinstall but i got an error prompting me that there was a problem deleting two of the files.The SF cop car mod and the Big Bob chopper mod but when i tried to uninstall them using the SAMI it told me that a certain string was not found within the file if anyone has had a similar problem or has suggestions on how i can fix mine i would greatly appreciate it... all suggestions are welcome and will be considered:D TANK Q in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make sense. You actually cannot uninstall a mod When you replace and or take out the original files you are actually overwriting the old code....So its actually getting deleted....... Go replace every single file you modded with the original ones and if that doesn't work then you will need to reinstall the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakim Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) Well i do apologize,"uninstall" was poor wording as well as a vague description on my behalf although uninstall is the wording that the creator of the SAMI uses as well...when i say uninstall i mean that the folder in which the mod can not be deleted neither manually nor by using the uninstall a mod feature of the SAMI.When i do attempt to use the SAMI i get an error which states that a specific script is not in the folder so the mod wont be used. not in those words but thats a basic translation of the message....I have tried to reinstall the program(GTS SA) but the file in question remains... any ideas? EDIT actual wording of error: The line specified in the script for replace text command does not exist in the specified file. It then gives me a line of script i am lead to believe that if i am able to replace the missing script then i will be able to delete the mod Edited August 28, 2006 by Rakim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
