Adding (not replacing) cars to GTA SA

[ziimo190 0]

i dont know whats the problem but my new cars id doesent appear in the jacobs car spawner list (id 399)....i tried to spawn my car with other car spawner and when i tried to spawn that car it only flashed in front of me and the text sayd car spawned but no car no crash no fun

 

I dont think i made a big mistake because that car appeared in the GGM and nothing crashed....just no car

Great tutorial, i added one car. But i can't get the car sound to work. I did just like P.I.M.P_PL wrote, but when i get in the car and start driving it there's no sound.. Pls guys, help

 

And how many cars i can add without any crashing?

[JostVice 50]

Heh, nice guide. i tried it out with the bandito, the game didnt crash, but this was the result:

The bandito got some advance suspension that i added with Alex's vehicle capabilities tool... but dont know whats weird about that. That means no way to add new car that uses special stuff?

[Supra4 0]

The suspension seems to work. If the wheels of the car are in the air, that probably means that there's something really wrong with the handling lines. Could be the line itself, but might just as well be a problem getting the game to recognise the extra line. Try using the BLOODRB line, as it isn't used by the game. Just put your handling line there and refer to that line in the vehicles.ide

[JostVice 50]

bah, it now works. I dont really understand what is this all, as the 'tutorial' looks like a fast post:

 

The handling names file is the one who tells the game handling lines?

 

What is the line i have to increase in salimits? there are a lot refering to the vehicle models. Can you add description of it?

 

Now another vehicle (without any special ability) doesnts spawns, it looks like a handling prolbem to me, again. Line is correct, its the original one (I'm just duplicating SA cars to test) so i think the stuff is in the handling names file. I have to add the name of the handling name at the end and increase handling names and vehicle names?

[P.I.M.P_PL 2]

jost_vice you must install the asi loader and put handling id adder to sa main directory(and other tools who be in the tutorial) and in handling_names you must pust your new handling line(this be a problem of your car who dont spawn you dont write new handling line who you use to your car)and tell me what version od handling id adder are you use old or newest??(but in the newest you have this additional table:

 

 

[MAIN]NAMES_COUNT=213VEHICLES_COUNT=164BIKES_COUNT=13FLYING_COUNT=25BOATS_COUNT=12HANDLING_FILE=handling.cfg

 

 

NAMES_COUNT=213 (its be the number of all handling entries)

VEHICLES_COUNT=164 (its be the vehicle type car number of entries)

BIKES_COUNT=13 (its be the vehicle type bikes number of entries)

FLYING_COUNT=25 (its be the vehicle type fly number of entries)

BOATS_COUNT=12 (its be the vehicle type boats number of entries)

 

about increasing vehicle models in salimits:

its be only increasing the vehicles models who be can defined in vehicles.ide not more.

I don't really understand why you'd need to have the separate lines for the cars, bikes, boats, etc in that code there. I've succesfully turned cars into motorcycles and planes without depending on any addon or tool (apart from spark and notepad, of course)

it be in newest version of handling id adder;)

[haki_PL 0]

Could someone sent me handling, vehicles and carcol files with added new car lines because I don't know that I did it right.. I did everything like in this tutorial but when I spawn car, after touching ground by it, the car disappears.. Can someone help me?

Read the sentence after the one you quoted. I've converted a dozen cars to planes, bikes and boats without needing any code or script. So IMO a separate counter for each vehicle type is not necessary. One for vehicles in general should suffice.

I suspect that secondary lines don't depend on any ID but are triggered by the vehicle type column in the vehicles.ide . As long as they are in the right order, the game works just fine here.

 

Unless I'm missing something really important and am scr*wing up my game without knowing it. Didn't have any trouble so far, so I doubt that.

[silvermanblue 2]

Sorry guys I took a long break from GTA but I am back. So any problems can be addressed.

[Gtapoptart 1]

Oh f*ck, I f*cked up, it crashes at 1% loading, I don't know what is wrong... i did everything right...

There is a chance that you messed the installation. I dont know though. Try undoing the last car you added.

Excellent tutorial, added two cars plus their sounds with the Audio loader. Just one small problem. The cars will spawn with the spawner but will not spawn in game automatically. I have tried adding a spawn points for the new cars and adding them into the cargrp.dat. Neither seem to be working at all. But the spawner works perfectly and I can drive them around just as well. Is this only a problem for me?

Hmmm that is strange. Question, did you spell it in the cargrp dat as it appears in the vehicle IDE?

[Supra4 0]

indeed. the only reason why it won't be driven by AI is because it either isn't in the cargrp.dat, or because it is misspelled.

[Windyshrimp 0]

It spawned for me now. I am thinking it was the game lagging because I when I was driving around LS, a lot of Ranger police cars were spawning and other vehicles/peds in the wrong place.. But the game eventualy fixes itself.

Though the spawn points are still giving me trouble, I had a bullet spawn on the verdant meadows airstrip just fine, but when replaceing it with either of the added cars didn't seem to work.

[silvermanblue 2]

I dont know if I can get mine to spawn at points either. Maybe just a bug.

[Gunnie 1]

Well, the method works perfect, but the tutorial... I think you can do that better

 

I added a Kuruma and another premier from GTA III works really good

 

Greetings!

[Gunnie 1]

I found some problems and I don't know why...

 

1. I agree the cars. It works perfect, but when I save the game, and I load the game, the game crash. It cannot load the savegame, but can load another savegames from another SA without added cars.

 

2. The cars by default can be tuned with colors, stereo and hydraulics, without carmods line. It is a bug, but Its good.

 

I don't know why thats problems... Only I have got thats problems?

 

Sorry for dobleposting.

 

Greetings!

Hey guys! A have actually managed to add a good bunch of new cars, but can't get them to spawn automatically around. I've added them and spelled them correctly en the cargrp.dat, but haven't seen any yet. Does anyone know how to get them spawn automatically? Thanks a lot in advance

Same problem here!

 

Car can be spawned only with spawn tool... Other than that, all items are working OK (engine sound, handling, colors, radio, ...)

 

PLEASE, can someone (maybe topic starter, silvermanblue) fix this? It would be great to have 4-5 extra cars in SA

[silvermanblue 2]

I am sorry I think that its a bug we can't get around. But I will try to tinker with it and post the results.

 

Ok this is a sure fire way to get the car to spawn in traffic, replace one of the cars that the grove street familys drive in the cargrp.dat. It works!

OK, thanks.

 

BTW, the game has spawned my car (after posting on GTAF), but it had some errors. To be more exact, there was 5-6 cars spawned in the same time on the same road...

[silvermanblue 2]

Hmm well I got my one new car spawning regularly only after adding it to all the cargroups. it just seems there is no sure fire way to get it to spawn.

Maybe you could try using those 2 (unused) gang groups? That way, all add-on models will be set as gang cars, and they should spawn regularly... (at least, I think so )

[Dodo-Pilot 2]

 

how many cars can i add? i know that for Vice City were only 3 cars to add, and that was for some [email protected] with the DEFAULT.IDE, it's something work diferent in SA?

with this tools i mistake its be unlimited;]

I`ve installed (and tested) over 50 add-on cars... (I`m using "18631" and above as ID numbers)

 

BTW, sorry for double-posting

Nice tutorial, I have already added Fubar's 1969 boss 429. One small question though. I tried using id 208 but when i tried to do sounds using the ultimate audio editor but all cars had bicycle horns and the boss 429 had bike sounds. I changed its id to 612 and used the regular audio editor to give it sound. So does anyone know what i did wrong with the ultimate audio editor? Because i can only give sounds to id's 612-614 with theregular audio editor.

Ah thats easy to fix, open up the audio adder plugin in notepad and replace all the , with . (Commas with periods)
