No. this is not a "downgrader patch" request, or discussion topic.

 

 

or a some peeps are just too got damn anal retentive illegal?

its "let's not piss off the developers any more than we already have"-illegal.

 

Further comments on the downgrader patch will be outright deleted.

hey guys, congrats on modding the so called impossible v 2. I just had an idea of another way to create a blank img using imgtool 2. Just create a copy of the img file and using imgtool, delete all the .dff and .txt from it, then rebuild. It will just leave u with a 4KB blank img file. Of course u would then rename it to whatever u like, in jarjar and DexX's explaination, vehicles.img. Just another way for people to create an img if they cant get Alci's IMG Editor 1.5.

when i made my san andreas fully moddable i still wasn't able to install save game files for when i'd finished the game and wanted to muck around. you're probably thnking 'well why didn't you replace the main.scm with the new one that come with the save game'. well i did do this, but it still, when i load the save game, just go to the beginning cutscene and the game starts from the beginning. i realy want to get this working does anyone know if they can help me? smile.gif

Save game files from v1 are not compatible with v2. Likewise, any tools that require a v1 save, or any trainers that work v1, will not work, or work properly, on v2. This tutorial only covers mods that affect the img files; installing models and textures and whatnot.

i tried both methods here and my computer keeps crashing i tried doing the downgrade and themaking your own img file now 'cmon guys is there a version 3 or somethin' why won't it work on my computer i followed ur instructions the only thing i could not do was use the imgeditor you said to use because the link you gave me doesn't work so please can u help me please and by the way if my computer keeps crashing when i use a certain car (because i've only tried 2 cars so far) could it be an error with the car itself because my computer keeps crashing oh and by the way also the img editor i used to createan img file also gave me a .dir file with the same name as the img one do i put that one in the models directory or not?

you need to follow the whole process, for each vehicle you install, so be sure the original files in the gta3.img were re-named. if you do everything perfectly, and it still doesn't show, there is the chance the vehicle it self is corrupt.

 

 

I did everything by the book from the tutorial. But I hadn't read the post that I just quoted, and it's a bit confusing what was in bold.

 

What I did was to add all of the vehicles to the same file in one shot. None of the cars were overlapped by another, and I'm 100% possitive that I did it correctly because the game runs ok except that it loads up a bit slow.

 

My problem is that any of the cars that I changed won't appear in my saved game that I had. There was a remington in my garage at CJ's house, but when I go to open the garage now it's locked.

 

I also tried a new game, and the LS police car won't spawn anywhere as well as any of the low riders. It seems like they have compensated for the cars that won't spawn with many more of the cars that I didn't change.

 

Any other information that you think I left out that might help you help me with a solution just tell me. I find it a bit weird that the other aspects of the game are working ok but the cars aren't around anymore.

I think this idea is great but, how do you get Alci's IMG Editor 1.5 to work because you can only download RAR files. Is there some way to get the file to work or do you have to download it some where else?

 

If you have a working Alci's IMG Editor 1.5 could some body send the file to me at [email protected] or [email protected]

 

That would be really nice.

 

Thanks

You are supposed to make a copy of the gta3.img file only for backup/restore purposes, you need to make a new .img file to put the mods in.

I tried the downgrader, my game still crashes back to desktop when I attempt to load my savegame. Last thing I did was modify some headlights in the gta3 img file, and then it started crashing when I'd attempt to load a game. Downgraded, and still does it. Any ideas?

Can someone help me?

 

Well i renamed the following in gta3.img:

 

Tram.dff

Sentinel.dff

Sentinel.txd

 

to have .old on the end like so:

 

Tram.dff.old

Sentinel.dff.old

Sentinel.txd.old

 

I then made a new .img called vehicles.img and added the replacement ones to it. Then edited my gta.dat so it now looks like so:
