well since were all excited about the new GTA and since its going to be liberty city all over again, i figured i would mod my GTA3 as close as i can to what we know about GTA4 to hold me over till its release:angel:
a few things i would want to adress/someone help me.
how would i become invisible to the gangs that shoot at you sight seen? meaning how could i make it so they dont shoot at me?
to replace a car in GTA3 is it exactly how you replace them in SA? is there a program like San andreas mod installer (sami) that will auto install them for GTA3? and is it still important to only replace 2 door cars with 2 door cars? etc...
what are some peoples favorite mods?(building weather etc)
is there some type of mod where water doesnt hurt you or even a mod where u can swim? (forgot how damn annoying and "toxic" the water in GTA3 is):laugh:
im going to try to mod it in modern times with modern cars(or cars that i still see on a regular basis) id like to stay away from the super exotic sports cars since well i never relaly see any.
so if ya got any ideas or anythign post up.
how would i become invisible to the gangs that shoot at you sight seen? meaning how could i make it so they dont shoot at me?
You can do it by yourself. You'll just need to modify the pedstats.dat file (Located in Data Folder). Open it with Notepad, the rest hints are within the file.

I guess you can do that with the GTA mod installer (http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?action=fi le&id=159).

grr well im officially pissed. i tried 2 diffrerent versions of the GTA mod installer and neither one worked. it caused the game to lockup while it was laoding. so i uninstalled it and re installed it(done that about 8 times now) and tried the other installer, same thing. so i said screw it theres nt that many cars in GTA3 so i started doing it the long way. opened up IMG tool opened gta3 exe foind the TXd and Dff files for a car (tried the cop car) replaced the old ones with the modded new ones. rebuilt it. went into the handling and the default files and changed the lines it told me to change. i already installed the dmagic wheel mod thing before any of this. so i save and close everyhting and start the game but it locks up about 2" from the end of the loading bar every time. ive fresh installed a whole lotta times and ran the game and it works fine.
i really have no idea what im doing wrong here. can anyone help?
Most probably it's the case that, GTA III is less stable, comparing with Vice City and San Andreas, about handling the mods installed within it. The more mods you'll install, the more possibility is being there to make the game crash.
Try to keep the number of mods around 4/5.

lol this is happening with 1 mod. i reinstall the game, load it up make sure it works, it does, go install one car mod (last i tried was a cop car) and try to load up to see if it works, and it hasnt yet...
ive had the real GTA 3 mod on it before that has every car modded and it seems very stable. but whoever made it (this is my opinion) did a kinda crappy job of selecting cars for the game...some are exceleent choices but others liek the dump truck are like wtf choices...
do i need to update gta3 to v1.1 first? or somehting liek that?

If the mods are of made at poor quality, the upgrade to v1.1 wont make any difference. Moreover, the patch doesn't work out with the graphics, it was made to fix some errors in the main version and let the player to play the audio files from the hard drive.

hmm well im finding mods made by plumbars and a few others of the highest quality cars ive seen. ive tried those and no luck.
so your saying that i should upgrade the patch?
on one of the readme files that came with a mod it said that i had to have collision editor or somehting, do all mods need this?
I really didn't say that you should upgrade, as it won't make any change to your modding experience.
Yeah, few mods may includes modded COL file; in those cases, you'll need the Collsion editor to import them into your game.

huh well i dloaded that col editor and got one to work then i tried the auto install progie and it works. i have a whole lotta car mods right now but my biggest problem is usually id i die in the water it locks up witha white screen after it already said wasted.
and i cant seem to go to other islands, it always locks up on me in the loading screen.
ive tried driving accross, flying accross and im about to try thru the tunnel.
well not the game wont even start. just gets done laoding then "ding"
says theres an error: unhandled exception c0000005 at adress004bc371
what does this mean!
Have you figured out exactly after installing which mod this crash has started to happen?

lol if i did i would be asking... ive tried everythign i could think of. i would replace maybe one or two cars at a time and then go try it out to see if it worked. which they would then i cant remember if i tried adding another or what but then it all of a sudden started with this unhandles exception business...
well i said screw it uninstalled reinstalled and redid most of my mods. im in the same place i was before with the same problems as before. the game works i can load up and run around but if i die it locks up, if i try to cross a bridge where it has to come to a load screen it locks up. an di havent tried but im pretty sure if i already started a game it will lock up when i try to load a different one
im starting to get a little pissed at it. ive modded every car in SA and its getting boring. i might try modding VC but that game has way to many twisty bumpy roads to really get some speed...
