yes, all bug are fixed(i think)

 

i can play all mini games and using computer fine

still wait for permission to update post one

 

@CHARLES007

yeah, that's a known error for first methode.

if you get error(send to desktop) see either your vehicle.ide(must have 2 new entry) and handling.dat(follow every format

includeing newline and such)

have you try espedito fix?

@espedito

not sure though. i'll try later

 

 

[jonz13]

after 24 it just crashed on loading every time, i tried adding several different cars as the 25th but couldn't get anything to work, I'll play around with it some more to check later.

Dude, this is awesome, no bugs, handling works, custom cars drive around, great!

 

All we need now is a way to properly name these cars in-game, if that's possible.

 

EDIT: Oh, and do you mind if i put the link to this topic in my sig, more people should know about this.

just wait till all the master make tool for this

[McLeod63]

Hi,

 

First off I want to thank you so much for this awesome find! ...Unfortunately I can't get it to work for me. I'm sure I've done exactly what you said but my game still crashes on loading.

I'm only using one car to start off with. I've done all the steps as you said, renaming only the car (I've renamed "test" to cadillaceldorado). The car's wft. and wtd. files are in newveh.img, but I noticed someone added their car to the vehicle.img file. Who is right?

I hope you'll somehow be able to help!

 

[EDIT] I'm using patch 1.0.1.0.

Here's my newhandling and newveh:

CADILLACELDORADO 1800.0  0.8   85	0.0 0.0 -0.22    0.0  5  0.155 1.0 175.0	0.18 0.63 0.5  35.0  1.35 1.05 14.0 0.15 0.4843  1.4  0.8  0.8  0.15 -0.18 0.0  0.5    1.0 0.5 1.2 1.5  0.0  15000  	440000  0    0

I'd like to ask something more simple. Does the cargrp is working for you people when you edit it with new cars? I have the 8 bikes mod which turns solair in to a bike from Lost & Damned. Then I replaced the files of solair with a new model of a police Harley Davidson bike.

http://www.zombo.com/gta-iv-mods.html

I ve changed cargrp so that it can be driven only by cops and one of the bikers gang (along with hellfury) but even when I drive the bike no one appears to drive it too, neither cops, nor bikers. If I don't change the cargrp the default groups of peds do drive the new bike. Anyone knows if I am doing something wrong or what I should do in order to make cops and bikers to ride it? Thanks

[wojtx]

I think that you should make a shorter name for the car. Make it eldorado instead. In san andreas the handling file said that there was a max 14 letter per car name, but i never got it over 8 characters. I think that making a shorter name would solve it.

 

Koennigsegg CCX didn't work for me ( i tried some combinations), you have to experiment with naming. I had some problems with loading to different cars. I learned what could be the possible problem with the new cars depending on when the game crashed on my pc. When i had the first screen there was an error in the ide ( a mismatch of the cars data perhaps) or carcols error. on second screen I knew that it was either the car name or that it could not run as a standalone ( iknow but a couple of cars won't work no mather what i try to do with them). Finally on Loading - ******** mission crash usually the save was corrupted, It takes only two screens with characters to load the game. Yes it's stupid but it works for me

 

I wish that GTAiv would have an errordump file where you could know what file caused the error, like i SA.

[McLeod63]

Thanks mate, that seems to have worked! No more crashes! I'm yet to see the new car in game though. I wonder what's going on now?

it seems that police or any special vehicle(taxi, police, etc) can't be added.

i've try adding an new police car, but it's spawned without anybody inside(when i have wanted level).

 

 

i'm not so much into cargrp though, but i'll look around it.

if someone can answer it, that's better

 

it seems that, to make police to use other vehicle, we need to change other files.

[McLeod63]

Yeah, not really sure what could be causing that. I've got that bike working in my game, but I just replaced on of the cop cars.

I did replace the noose cruiser with the police bike too (I ve also changed the png files from LCPD to NYPD and I ll make a version of Homeland Security police bike too if someone wants them).

I suggest that you put this line in vehicles.ide (of course where is noose you ll put police instead);

 

noose, noose, bike, NOOSE, BOBBER, [email protected]_FREEWAY, NULL, 30, 999, 0.2303, 0.2303, 0, 4, 1.0 ,0, noboot

 

That way you won't have the occasional police radio sounds, but you ll have the motor sound of the Harley Davidson and the civilian radio stations. Also the animation of the rider is much better and more realistic than the animation of sanchez for this bike.

One thing that I ve noticed is that when you use the siren on the police bike, the other cars don't stop or clear the way as they do when you use the siren in a police car. This is something which if I remember good it was happening in San Andreas too when you were riding the police bikes. I don't know if someone could make a little program like lua., net. or asi. in order to correct it.

I think it's just like in san andreas, adding a special vehicle aka. Copcar taxi (which will require scripts in order to work in the properly in the game) means you have to edit a file like Main.scm, in gtaiv there is a main.sc but i don't know if it's that file. I dont want to screw with it though.

 

 

To Mcloed63:

You can't see the car?? or you see it's body but nothing else - wheels or colors. Or maybe you see the cars sticking out of the street? or does the game crash if you spawn it or it doesn't show up at all?

That would have to be fixed. Because when GTA4 modding becomes more advanced I want to make a mod for GTA4 that combines the cars, maps, weapons, and hopefuly radio, and The Ballad of Gay Tony Parashoot from the Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony in to one game. I think it wold be fun to play with.

Yeah, just haven't found the new cars at all.

I actually haven't figured out how to spawn new cars yet

I read on the first page that you use a console to spawn them...but I haven't found any console. And I added them to ingame trainer's config file but I'm doing something wrong because it never works.

You can add 23 new cars without any bugs (like no bowling game etc)?

[roing]
