Car Damage File

[Jass5991]

Can someone pls tell me which is the file in GTA SA that causes damage to vehicles? In GTA VC it was the vehicle.col file. In GTA SA that file only has 1 vehicle, the plane.

 

Pls tell me the file that causes roof damage and give me a link for the application that edits that file.

 

The reason for this is because i am planning on making a roof damage mod (1st ever mod of mine) just like in IV.

 

I would really appreciate ur help.

The damage models are stored in the DFF and you will need a 3d program to edit the dff. For example Zmodeller, Gmax and 3ds max.

 

If your using gmax or 3ds max you will need kams GTA scipts to be able to import the dff.

 

the way it works is by parts for example door_lf_ok and door_lf_dam

 

lf = Left Front door

ok = Normal door

damn = damaged door

There is also a special col sphere to determine when the "dam" model gets loaded.

 

Please check the tutorial forum and search for something like "3ds max ingame" its by puma. Its very helpful.

 

Its not simple and nobody replies because you have only just entered the modding scene without much knowledge and it takes us a lot of time to type big tutorials when you could learn most of it yourself through initiative.

 

Good luck
