GTA3.IMG Mod Help

[[]D[][]\/[][]D]

Everytime I use IMG Tool and try to mod something in the GTA3.IMG it freezes up my game while it is half way loading up. What could I be doing wrong?

What game? If its san andreas make sure you don't have version 2.

[[]D[][]\/[][]D]

Yeah it's San Andreas and I think it's version 2 because I just got it like 2 weeks ago. But all the other mods like the Spaceeinstein All In One Mod and the other mods that I did to the PLAYER.IMG worked fine. It's just if I do something to the GTA3.IMG file then it freezes up.

It sounds like you have V2. Swapping the player.img files should't cause any problems as far as i'm aware. The game checks the gta3.img file to see if it has been altered if it has no load if it hasn't the game will load. Unfortunately it is unfixable and you are screwed for modding that particular file with that version of SA.

What's the difference between v.1 and v.2 of San Andreas? Because as of now I'm not going to touch the gta3.img file at all. I probably uninstalled and reinstalled the game like 4 times this week. Is there any way to make these mods compatible with v.2?

The primary difference is the removal of Hot Coffee-related files and the inability to play with a modded gta3.img (which was probably done to prevent people from putting the Hot Coffee stuff back in.) There are other minor differences that I don't recall. The only way to use a modded gta3.img is to get yourself a copy of the version 1 executable; you're on your own there as redistribution of the exe violates the EULA and forum rules. For further details, reference the topic about v2 modding pinned at the top of this very forum.

Would it violate the rules if I paid someone for the v1 executable file?

[Dalpura]

It'd break the rules if you posted about it on the forums, yes.

how does it check the gta3 file, because I'm having the same problems as

[]D[][]\/[][]D?

 

could you change the img file with the v.1 gta3, or do you need to change the whole exe.?
