This tool allows You to create, remove or edit UV animations in GTA San Andreas.

 

To add or edit animations in SA models:

 

Create model with texture for animation, hot point should be in Top-Left corner (first frame for TV Screen Animation).

Extract all textures to TGA images to folder with models.

Drag and drop model to RW Animator.

Unfortunately, you're right ...

Why I knew that replies will be about VCS tools?

Because hackman releases a tool, and people only care about one category of his tools....the VCS ones. xD

And this one is not in that category.

Animation with texture 2048x2048 compressed with DXT1

You could always join the team if you want the tools that badly.

[Link2012 1,677]

Hm, can anyone show me where R* used this in San Andreas world?

[HackMan128 2,016]

Go to Las Venturas at night and You will see .

[Ash_735 19,806]

Surprised by the lack of talk on this, it's a nice extra detail to add atmosphere to the game.

Considering how many serious RW mods are left (and by serious I mean on VCStoPC or Gostown scale), I am not even surprised that there's lack of talk.

 

Tools subforum doesn't even have that many frequent topics/posts too.

True, I remember doing this in my old SA modding days, with 3ds max scripts.

 

You have to agree this comes a little late after the game has been out for 7\8 years, it's not surprising not much people care.

[HackMan128 2,016]

Yes, but I was stupid kid, that can't create anything. When age is around 20, brain works much better, but now is too late .

[elMarcoPL 138]

I don't understand you people. Why do you want these VCS tools that so much?! Team don't have to share them, because they were made by their own (I know, I know - by HackMan128) and evrybody from team already said - It won't be released. So they don't need to share it with people, where most of them will convert some buildings / peds or anything else and call it "by -put here your name-". And I think I know reason of that - convertment to Super Powerful Best Advanced Profesional Great Awesome RAGE Engine. If you want to convert something from VCS, do a tool by your own. If I remember good, "IVSA" also used ® ™ tools, and almost none of them were shared.

 

Anyway, great thing HackMan !

Oh well, guess we'll have to find a way to use it on VCS PC, shame to let it go to waste.

[l911 113]

this is awesome i like that you made nice easy interface for the tool, and the TV in first VCS safehouse would be a nice extra feature (with fake METV music video)

[Midnightz 287]

LOVE you for this tool.

[SkylineGTRFreak 3,987]

Sounds interesting... But does work on Vehicles I suppose?

[GamerShotgun 169]

So.. I guess it's not the best way to make complete TV shows with this, as it will be f*ckin' huge. But nice work on the tool! It could be used in so many ways!

[Midnightz 287]

I voted for you/this for a 2012 Modding Award, good luck!

[HackMan128 2,016]

Thanks
