PaulCain01 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Grand Theft Auto III Hint: Reactivate Darkel Note this changes a critical game file. Back up the original before you mistakenly alter your FAT. You can put the Darkel NPC model back into the game with Notepad. Right click the game folder, click Properties, and un-check the green dot from the Read Only box. Locate the default.ide and pedgrp.dat in the data directory and replace all instances of "scum_man" with "darkel". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demarest 23 Posted July 23, 2006 People have been modding their game to put Darkel in or even BE Darkel for years now. You must be new around these parts, so I'll give you a little pointer: Don't say his name. Get ready for the rush of "who's Darkel?" that inevitably comes and the argument as to WHY he was removed that invariably follows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

segvirion 0 Posted July 31, 2006 I honestly don't see what's the point in reactivating Darkel, considering that R* removed the missions that he would give to the player - now some of them are rampages - and you wouldn't have any way to interact with him...

Demarest 23 Posted August 2, 2006 Nobody said there had to be a point. After playing the game many times for years now, sometimes it's a fun change of pace to play as Novy for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rav0 0 Posted August 8, 2006 That's not reactivating Darkel. It's just replacing a ped model with the Darkel model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Informant X 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Nobody said there had to be a point. After playing the game many times for years now, sometimes it's a fun change of pace to play as Novy for example. Is Novy the guy that was said to have been the original main character for gta3? That guy with the blonde spiked hair? What is the ID name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death_Blade 14 Posted August 19, 2006 Personally, im glad they used Claude instead. Novy just looks stupid. Claude seems to suit the games urban enviorment more. Novy just doesnt seem to fit in with the game, that, and he looks kinda fat . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stef_92 865 Posted April 23, 2007 I posted topic for that you can make Darkel as your player weeks ago! look: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=273985 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hmmm nice bike 4,690 Posted April 23, 2007 There is really no point in trying reactivate Darkel since all his missions are gone. I do like the Darkel as the player, though. Also, please don't bump up old topics. Claude94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zom-B 4 Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) What's the deal with this? When i try to use darkel or novy as ped's in the game, their textures don't show up. I replaced GANG06 (The blue Diablo) with Novy and even put duplicate textures in the txd, one called Novy and one called Chico2 (What the original texture was called) and replaced scum_man with darkel so why isn't the game loading them properly? Edit: I fixed darkel. Didn't read the first post properly, i've edited the text files and he's working fine now. But if i replace a ped with "Novy" it'll surely load his bad model, the one with LOD blocks around him right? Urgh, this is confusing.

Demarest 23 Posted April 23, 2007 You make all replacements in /models/gta3.img and delete txd.img and txd.dir every time you make such a change. That will prevent the untextured models you see there. Please keep modding discussion in editing discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
