Need help with maps

[Dark-Mephisto]

having not made a mod on any gta games before i dont have any idea where to start

 

ive made mods for games like unreal tournament before but i guess this is alot differnt.

 

so is there any tools i could use to mod SA?

 

i have 3DS max 7 anything else?

 

also i read somewhere that the map is split into little zones because theres a limit on polys? any idea what that limit is for SA?

 

so i make a 'zone' in 3D max and export it to a .dff along with textures as .txd right?

 

what do i do After/before(if i forgot sumthin lol)?

 

would love it if someone made a tut

EDIT: also would making ground and roads be exactly the same for buildings ie the ground is built like one big building?
