Help With Submarine mod

[hdacker]

where do I find the dinghy.dff and the dinghy.txd files. The IMG tool does not show it in the 79 files it brings up. I went into the data handling.cfg file and made the changes that the instructions asked for but
it still shows the original dinghy underwater uncontrolable, when game is played. One other Question why is it called gta3.img file this is for san Andreas right? Somebody person Help me. hdacker@yahoo.com :confused:

Dont 'replace' txd or dff in the gta3.img. Because the replace option doesn't work on IMG tool. Make a backup of the original dinghy(.txd+.dff), then delete it from gta3.img and add the modded ones. Then rebuild the archive before closing it.

And, gta3.img have been a common image files storing storing archive since GTA III and a little modification has been made to the file system so far as the series progressed.

I thank you for your reply and it makes me feel better that your solusion was the same one that I after experimenting a while came up with. The only problem now is the game gets hung up when starting. When I reverse the action and replace the dff & txd and the handerling.cfg the game starts ok again. Go figure
One other thing and it seems imprtant to me at least. The people comeing up with all these Mods should take care to mention the location of the mod changeing files. Example the dinghy .dff and the dinghy txd can only be found in the models folder of the game well all in all the submarine still dose not work. The sasub folder is in my documents should it be in the temp folder and the preveiw folder with sub 1,2,3,4,5 and six photos where if anywhere should they be

You may send an email to Switch Design (http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?action=fi le&id=1258) (Author of this mod) about its difficulties.

The only thing that you missed was actualy replacing the .dff and .txd in gta3.img, here is the actual install instructions in the readme...

To Install

First: Use img edit (included in this mod created by Spooky and Illspirt) to open your gta3.img file (after making all the files in the GTA folder non read only) Then delete dinghy.dff and dinghy.txd and add in the new dinghy.dff and dinghy.txd and click rebuild archive and close..

Second: open your handling.cfg file in you San Andreas data folder with notepad.

Then replace the first dinghy line of data With this line of data

DINGHY 800.0 1483.3 1.0 0.0 1.5 0.0 98.5 3.50 3.5 1.00 5 190.0 1.2 5.0 R P 0.07 0.01 0 30.0 1.0 4.5 0.0 3.50 0.1 0.7 0.0 0.2 0.12 5000 8000400 0 0 1 0

then save and close.

I installed it using GGMM (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=434), just for ease of use, try it for yourself. ;)

Now I'm Totally confussed I downloaded or at least I thought I did the ggmm file and it won't open on my putor How do I make use of this ggmm to help get in my image files

[.:nemesis:.]

GGMM doesn't work properly unless you follow the instructions in the readme file...
the ggmm.exe, gtainterface.dll and ggmm.txt should be IN exact same folder as gta3.exe, gta-vc.exe or gta_sa.exe

after you install it, click the help "?" button on program and set file association for .GGM files

ok Let me take it step by step: I clicked on your ggmm sign up above It took me to gta garage . I signed up and returned to the site and clicked on the download it brought me to another site with 4 choices to download. Not knowing anything about them I clicked the top one because it was more up to date (some logic huh) Now my version of gta sa is 2.0 . I saved it to my document file and when I got back to it and click on it It said it was a rar file and it could not open it. It seems I can't get in it to read the readme file or I downloaded the wrong ggmm. I tried to attempt the spooky file again deleteting not replaceing the dinghy files Understanding that Each time I attempt it I have to unintall and re-install to get the game to start again.and each time the game gets hung up in the loading process and the control alt and delete dose not free it up. I have to pull the plug to shut it down. Funny though the audio still works when its hung up.

[.:nemesis:.]

Now my version of gta sa is 2.0
You cant mod V2, but you can use the downgrade patch (http://grandtheftauto.filefront.com/file/GTA_SA_D owngrader_Patch;74661), which will convert your V2 into a moddable V1.

To open a .rar file get WinRAR 3.70 (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm), it's a trial version though.

Just a word of thanks to you both Asif and clansman As frustrating as that Problem was Your help was very knowledgeable and through the different steps the final solution was reached . I will repair the holes in my wall but first I must repair my fist( a Big Ouch) I thought I was going batty because my game did take some of the changes one day,like the jetpack broad and the taxi I had running up the walls than it wouldn't take any of the mods. Thus the true answer came to light 2.0 gta-sa limiter.

I downloaded the patch you recomended and drove my new sub completely around the whole map and my wall climbing taxi is back in business not to mention my jetpack cowgirl seeing the sights
with CJ.

Thanks again and you probably will hear from me with more problems because I'm really getting in to this mod thing. I have all the gta's, hitman's , Godfather, Scarface, Mafia, both Max Paynes and both True Crimes about 28 games on my putor. When I finish the last one I go back and start all over. Most retired cops shot them selfs me I get on the putor and shot everyone else. :violent: What a l ife hay!:smoke: Okay guys till then.
