How do I get my guitar dff to replace the bat?

[GTAndy]

Hi,

I made a guitar in sketchup then converted it to a dff in 3ds max. If I replace bat.dff in gta3.img with the guitar then it's invisible. How do I make my guitar work in San Andreas? And if it worked in game how would I make the texture?

Please Help!

I believe you need both the .dff and .txd file

 

for changing bat to guitar, i think you need to replace just the .txd instead of the .dff.

 

Im not 100% sure though.

I took a screenshot to show what it's like. You can still use the baseball bat and kill people, but it's invisible. I've changed the texture as you can see in the picture.

Any ideas on what to do?

I would check the positioning of the guitar in your 3d editor - make sure it is placed in such a way that it is aligned with the bat - import the original bat.dff file for reference. To make sure it's not invisible, you'll need textures in your bat.txd file.
