Xbox GTA3 & Vice City Mods ??

11-09-2003

Does anyone know if the new versions on the Xbox of GTA3 and Vice City will be able to be modded like the computer versions ?? I guess there is so many ways u could do it but im wondering if it has been mentioned or even thought of ??

no.

its a dvd, and you dont install it onto the xbox.

well you could, but its too complicated and time-consuming for anyones purposes at this time.

now, for the vice city ps2 version, gta3.img and some other dff's and many other files were visible when you entered it into your DVD drive. I don't know if R* has updated their stuff so this doesn't happen. But, if you want to try it, and you want to risk the state of your game, enter the cd into your dvd drive (assuming you have one) and view all the stuff... see what you could find. You can open the gta3.img file with the IMG Tool, but i dont know if you should mod it or not

Yeah thats fair enuff. Im sure it can be very easily done. I could find out the contents of whats on both discs so is that the file im looking for ?? A file wid .IMG at the end or what. I dunno sorry if im asking stupid ass questions but im interested if it can be done.

well, yes. an .img file will have many files in it that are basically models and textures of almost everything you see in vice city.

i dont see why you couldnt edit the xbox version.

the only thing that would prevent it is if take2 completely re-did the game. i dont think they wouldve spent all the time or money to do that. besides, it wouldnt be the same.

Yeah sounds like something someone will try and get more info on sometime in the future i hope. It would be interesting if something can be done, considering the games looks great..

well, i dont think that many people have tried it for the original ps2 game, and look at how long thats been out...

its just too big of a hassle for most people

**rappo** · 11-10-2003

well, you can convince a friend to try it... just say that you can put in really cool cars instead of the original ones and mess up someone elses game, or you can just get a rental and risk getting caught!

brokenfish · 11-10-2003

no you wont get caught. the game dvds arent rewriteable.
you just copy the dvd to your hard drive, apply the mods, then burn it on another new dvd, with the modded game.

**rappo** · 11-10-2003

well, lets just hope he has a dvd-rw. if not, then tough luck, you won't find out until you get hold of a dvd-rw. oh, and I hope your friends or anybody else you know is not dumb enough to mod an xbox game that they bought with their own many at full price (assuming they like the game). If you have some money to blow, or you get it as a gift somehow... you should try it out mr. djbboy and enlighten us all!

brokenfish · 11-10-2003

no, i said theyre not rewriteable

once you buy the xbox game, it stays as it is. theres no danger in trying to mod it, because youll just have to burn a new dvd. do you get what im saying?

its better to use a rewriteable dvd disc for burning the modded one because if it turns out bad, then you can just try again. only a few more hours to wait

i would rather not go through the trouble and just leave it alone.

**rappo** · 11-10-2003

AH, i get it now... well, there also MIGHT be the risk of screwing up your Xbox if you are not careful and miss some files... that would stink.

Advice: if you want to mod an XBOX game, you better know what you're doing! hopefully, you didn't have to hear that from me!

brokenfish · 11-11-2003

how might you risk your xbox? theres no harm to be done to anything except for the dvd that youre making. if its rewriteable, then theres no danger anywhere at all. just a waste of time

Brokenfish i understand what ur saying. The missing files on the cd or the stuffed up files on the cd would simply just currupt the game and u wont be able to play the game, hence the waste of the cd u just burnt. The Xbox is safe, its not like the cd will just explode if it dont run properly.

Well i dunno, i just thought id ask around to see if anyone has heard of any other people trying it or working on something to get into the game files abit more. I actually went searching through the files of the game and found a file gta3.img it was placed with the models folder and was about 120mb in size. Im guessing thats the file u were talking about cause its probably the largest file on the whole cd. Thankx for ur help guys hopefully if something comes about i will hear about it and let u guys know. Thankx again..
