Mod Cars Locations

[crimsoN]

Ohio people.
I just fixed the Honda S 2000 from 2 Fast 2 Furious
to my game, and i was wondering where to locate the car?
it seems, that Honda S2000 dont find it fancy rolling
in the streets ,so i thought maybe you know where to find
modded cars, etc?
im in the first Area of the Town, havent unlocked any other parts
than the one we are starting in. I was thinking this had anything to do with me not finding the car?
(BTW : Freaked out when the forums where down :O)

<3 crimsoN =)

You'll find it just where you'd find the original car...
If you've had a Banshee in your garage, and replaced it with a S2000, It'd be a S2000, although the game would think it's still a Banshee. That's why

[crimsoN]

Aight, aight, sothats why, hmm, do you have a location i
can find the Banshe then?
Maybe a map.
I asume the Banshee aint no where to be found on the first area of the game?
Cheers alot <3

crimsoN*

[crimsoN]

Wait, how can i replace it without having found the S2000?
U mean it automaticly replaces?

[RetiredKiller]

Yeah, it replaces the gamefiles - so the game actually thinks it's a banshee with different textures and 3d-model... It's not related to the save-game file

[crimsoN]

Well, i recently found a Banshee, during a mission with some
gangsters rolling with Banshees, but they werent S2000 Models.
Maybe i need to go where the original Banshees use to be located?
Mind telling me where that is?
(BTW : iv replaced and all that modding stuff, i just cant find the S2000)

[RetiredKiller]

Are you sure you replaces banshee.dff and banshee.txd with the originals, or did you just add them to the gta3.img?
Because when I modded the greenwood (Sweet's car), It always showed me the modded one where it's supposed to be - in Sweets missions, in the poor areas...
Banshees... lemme see... they're usually spawned near the beach (Santa Maria Beach), mostly driven by richguys...
I've modded my vice city back then, and when replacing a car, the game would just show the replacment instead... same in SA

btw: the S2000 (in real life) is a cool car...

[crimsoN]

Well, i didnt say anywhere i was suppose to replace em with the
"Banshee" tohugh...Hmmm..
If you download the S2000 you get "previon" files that ur gonna
replace with the "previon" in the data.
Previon, that a car? Maybe i replaced Previons with Honda S2000's

[crimsoN]

I could try replacing the "Previon files" (Wich you get when u download s2000 mod) and replace them with Banshee?

[RetiredKiller]

Preview? Like, *.jpg? no...

Just replace the banshee.dff (3d file) and the banshee.txd (texture file) in gta3.img
Then look if you see one

[crimsoN]

Yes, i understand.
But according to rappo's instructions, he said we had to
replace handlig.cfg, carcols and vehicles :S
Okey listen. When i downloaded the S2000 Mod, i extract it
at my desktop, where this was in it:
1 - Readme
2 - previon.dff
3 - previon

These were the files in the S2000 mod thing.
Could you explain from step 1 what im gonna do?

[RetiredKiller]

Ok... I assume you have all tools? (IMG Tool, and text editor)
now:

1) open /models/gta3.img with an IMG tool
2) rename the files on your desktop (previon.dff and previon.txd) to banshee.dff and banshee.txd
3) rename the banshee files in gts3.img to something else (banshee.txd.bak would do)
4) import/add the banshee files on your desktop
5) open handling.cfg, look for the banshee line, and replace with the line provided in the readme
6) same as 5 with carcols.dat
7) same as 5 with vehicles.ide

(I've had to figure out all that stuff by myself when I started modding...)


NOTE: it's probably a mod meant to replace the previon car (WTF? I never saw this one), not the banshee... although with a bit renaming it's ok...
NOTE2: If you rename, then also rename everything written "previon" or "PREVION" with "banshee" or "BANSHEE" in the handling.cfg, the carcols, and the vehicles.ide, ok?

[RetiredKiller]

You know what? I'm gonna download that mod and try applying it to the banshee...

[crimsoN]

Okey, nice one, do that, and let me know exactly what you did.
Good luck to you pal ;)

[crimsoN]

Nr 3 & 4, i didnt get those to =/
Rename what banshee files, and where do i find those?

And Import/add the banshee files on my desktop, you mean replace?
Add where to?

[RetiredKiller]

Here's your new Banshee mod
(It happened that i've had a banshee in the garage of that savehouse... lucky me ;))

Here, i've packed it for you, the way I installed it :)
Now do it this way:
1)Open gta3.img
2)rename the banshee.dff and banshee.txd to somethng you'll remmember (as backup, maybe backup-banshee.txd/dff)
3) add the files i gave you
4) replace the line in the corresponding files.. no renaming needed

[crimsoN]

Thanx alot!
But 1 thing, i still cant understand
nr 3 and nr 4.
Do you use MSN? Any chance i can add you to msn?
If so : Message me Privat ur MSN.
Ill add you later, gonna play soccer outside now, cheers, hope i can add you :)

[RetiredKiller]

Well, I do have MSN, but it's 9pm now, and i've got a flight sceduled for 4.30am tomorrow... so it'll be luck to get a chance...

well... stage 3: the IMG editor has a function "Import" or "Add".. somewhere in the commands menu or file menu...
use it to add the banshee.dff and banshee.txd from the archive i sent you - and your car is ready
step 4: to add it it's own handling and colors, open the files handling.cfg, vehicles.ide and carcols.dat with notepad
then goto the readme
and start replacing
Handling replacment:
1) find the line for the banshee in handling.cfg
2) mark it, and copy it into some file (i made "backups.txt")
3) mark the line in the readme, copy it
4) paste it instead of the old line

Vehicles.ide:
just the same... look for the lines, backup first, then replace
Carcols (Car's colors): same

Look, crimson, first you double post about five times, then you make a one character post, then you double post again. If you don't stop I'm going to start giving you warnings.

What are you talking about? That didn't make sense.

[RetiredKiller]

Alright... somethings weird, since I didn't double-post nor saw a double-post...
and for future references - alot of people say i'm nuts, so it's normal if it doesn't make sense...

Crimson: Thanks, I'm going on vacation :P
Cya someday
