Texture and collision mesh not showing in game

[vend3r]

Hello there, I am brand new to modding gta, just 1 day so far, but I have read everything I could find about modding, i'm attempting to add my own custom ramp with custom textures

I started by making the mesh and uv texture map in maya

I then exported it to a .x file and imported it into collmaker to make the collision mesh

Then I exported the object as a .dfx file and imported it into 3dsmax defined the gta material and used Kams dff IO to export to a .dff file

Then I used txd workshop to load the .dff .txd and .col file into an existing mod making sure to turn off the alpha channel rename the file and compress it to a DX1

I saved the .img and opend MEd created a new object imported the .dff and defind the .txd file and saved in the .ide and the .ipl

I'm not into modding as much as this, but whenever i have added a map mod you should put a line in gta.dat to verify it's location in loading sequence or HDD, gta.dat can be found in...

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\data

thanks for the reply but that was already done by the mod I was adding to

But that looks to be in the wrong position in the loading sequence, it's before the loadsc2, take a look at the Akina Mountain readme, that has the same hillrace filenames to see their position in gta.dat.

this is from akina and it works in that position i did not modify that thats the way it came

edit, also I checked and it also defines the .ide and the .ips after the loadsc2 in the gta.dat

line 16 : IDE DATA\MAPS\hillrace\hillrace.IDE

line 89: IPL DATA\MAPS\hillrace\hillrace.IPL

so the .IMG files before the loadsc2 are correctly placed
