A Big Request

[FERRET]

My friend and i want to make mods.
i need to know what tools i need, what i need to do, etc.
i can appreciate all the help i need
i want to start with something small and the slowly move up into making detailed car mods (ex.:50th Anniversary Corvette)

If ya wanna make cars then use the Z-modeler (http://zmodeler.nfscheats.com/) tool, and if you are making skins, I recommend you use Paint Shop Pro 8 (http://www.jasc.com/products/?)

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

You will need ViceTXD to edit textures and ImgTool to edit the .img files

i was thinking about the crane in gta3(the one that picks up ur car and puts it in the crusher) while i was at school today and i thought it would b cool to have a magnet like that on the bottom of a heli so u could pick up cars in one location and dropp them off in another
my question is "is it possible"
(and yes i have both gta3 and vc for pc)
and i know this might b off topic but what does 'BTW' mean?

[Know Buddy]

That's a good question... I dont know if its possible but maybe someone experienced can make it happen. That's a good idea BTW

BTW = By the way

[Darkon_X]

Probably it is possible but that would be very hard to do, first of all if it was done on GTA3 I guess it can be done in GTA:VC cuz both games have the same engines (me thinks) but you have to be a nerd to know how to do that kinda crap

[FERRET]

i have another idea of a mod
a simpler one
u know how the firetruck squirts water
well instead of the water if can 'squirt' out flames
that would b awesome

[Darkon_X]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! that would be tight and then burn people down!
hey maybe that can be done in the, shit i forgot the name of the file

[FERRET]

ummmmmmmmmm...
do u mean gta_vc?

[Darkon_X]

Yes

[FERRET]

i checked it uot but it has nothin about the firetruck

[Darkon_X]

huh, it must be hardly coded into the game...

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

it might be in the main.scm file

[Darkon_X]

how do you edit that the main.scm?

[Know Buddy]

With a mission editor i guess...

[Darkon_X]

yeah, thnx, that was a stupid question..hehe
I got me this tool but it's pretty hard to comprehend.....

Sometimes the stupidest questions are the ones that don't get asked.

i was lookin at the corvette 50th anniversary and i noticed its very very detailed.
actually most of the cars are really detailed.
how do u make them like that?

[Know Buddy]

That's what im trying to figure out too. Probably took alot of time making and skinning..

I tried to use Zmodeler to make a piece of a road and i couldnt figure out how to skin it, plus it was too small when i put it in the game (without a skin, just the dff and col)

[FERRET]

i want to make a car skin with the zmoddellerbut its gonna be a car out of my head
nothing that has already been made
something new
ill post bout my progress in about a year...lol
