GTA III how do you modd?

[Chase1558]

ok sry if i am asking this in the wrong place but ok...ok i have gta III on my computer and for anyone who knows how to modd i just wanna ask a few things. im trying to learn how to mod

 

A. i know u can get a new skin for weapons and such, but, can u add a whole new weapon completely, instead of replacing one, and essentially add more weapons. and instead of just placing a skin over a weapon can you, change the physics and characteristics of a weapon.

 

B. Can things like the game physics be changed like...more gravity, less gravity. the effects the players punches have....like punch someone and knock them further away than usual.

 

C. what programms can be used to create and modd cars, weapons, and so on.

 

D. how do u make skins, for someone who wants to try and make some on his own. and what programs are out there that would alow me to make skins for gta III..

 

F. does anyone know how to change the characters stats...like for claude...like increase or decrease health, or the amount something damages you, stamina , how effective a weapon is when used by him or w/e. make him run faster or jump higher

 

E. how do you add skins to buildings, and cars, and how do you make them. how do you add an interior to a building, because i have seen a few mods of gta III where buildings you couldn't access before are now accessible. and how to you add new things to the gta map, like add bridges or new lands masses. cause ive seen that to

 

G. since claud's skin can be changed, can the random pedestrians, polices, firemen, gangs, and etc's skin be changed and if so how can you do that.

 

and thats all for now...i would appreciate if someone(s) could help me out, im not trying to bother anyone, or cause any problems...so if anyone can help then thanks u don't have to answer everything, at once so yea. but, i would appreciate the help, so if you you decided to answer my post, thanks, if not, then thanks anyways at least you to the time to look at my post.

To create new models (weapons, vehicles, peds, maps) you would model them in a program like 3ds max or zmod

 

"skins" are in .txd (mostly stored in gta3.img in the models folder)

you can edit the textures contained in .txd with programs like photoshop

 

a few of the other things you ask are editable through a few of the files in the data folder (you can open most of them with notepad.) others might be possible through scripting (.scm) ie player health

 

you need an img tool (ie img tool) to open .img

txd tool (ie txd workshop) to open txd

theres a 30 day trial for 3ds max at the autodesk site

or zmod is free.

 

best thing to do is look through the tutorial forum, do some reading and maybe download mods that are similar to what you want to do, then look at what they did to change things.. to get an idea of how things work. (start small)
