Hey guys! Completely new to this modding lark, so can you point me in the right direction for a n00bs guide to adding a car and that menu thing that lets you spawn stuff?

 

Thanks

if you do not modded game start step 1.

if you have modded game go to step 2.

 

1:Mod Running

download this file:http://www.mediafire.com/?jj4pivdk06vgkzk

and then extract files in rar to your game root.

 

 

2:Adding car section

Thanks to MataanjinOriginal Copy For this info

 

 

 

i'll explain about adding a new car in GTA IV

 

 

 

files you need from IV:

 

CODE

 

 

 

carcol.dat

 

cargrp.dat

 

default.dat

 

gta.dat

 

images.txt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

others file:

 

CODE

 

 

 

a new car file(wft + wtd)

 

openIV

 

 

 

 

 

in this tutorial i'll be using test.wft & test.wtd as new car file and it replace turismo.

 

if your new vehicle didn't have handling or carcol, you can use the one it replace, but rename the name to your car name(test)

 

all words that's bold can be change to any name you like(don't use space)

 

while editing always follow the format of the file( space, CAPITAL LETTERS, and everything) don't make a blank new line or

 

delete a new line(it'll crash sometime).

 

don't change a vehicle that's in your parking(saved car) or you will get smpa60 error.

 

to add more than 24 vehicle you need patch 1.0.0.4(max 28).

 

 

 

1. edit default.dat, gta.dat and images.txt

 

default.dat -> add "HANDLING common:/data/newhandling.dat"

2. create a new img file using open iv, name it newveh.img

 

3. add new car files(wtd & wft) to newveh.img(if car name have been used in vehicles.img, you need to rename your new car)

 

4. edit carcol.dat -> add a new line, either in car3 section or car4 section.

 

CODE

 

washington, 0,0,12, 4,4,12, 6,6,12, 10,10,12, 21,21,12, 23,23,12, 25,25,12, 33,33,35, 37,37,32, 49,49,63, 52,52,56, 54,54,55, 65,65,63, 67,67,118, 70,70,65, 98,98,90, 16,16,76, 9,9,91, 15,15,93, 19,19,93, 13,13,80,

5. create newhandling.dat and newveh.ide.

 

newhandling.dat(if you make mistakes when you spawn it, it looks correct but when you touch it, it fall to the ground)

 

CODE

 

 

 

TEST 1500.0 7.0 85 0.0 -0.06 -0.18 0.0 5 0.34 1.0 225.0 0.34 0.65 0.7 35.0 1.50 1.50 13.5 0.12 0.48 2.0 1.3 1.3 0.12 -0.13 0.0 0.5 1.0 0.3 3.4 7 0.0 110000 440010 1 1

 

 

 

 

 

newveh.ide(if you make mistakes your game will crash on loading[error SMPA60])

 

CODE

 

 

 

cars

 

 

 

test, test, car, TEST, COMET, [email protected], NULL, 1, 999, 0.2621, 0.2621, 0, 5, 1.0, 0, noboot+sports

 

 

 

 

 

end

 

 

 

txdp

 

 

 

vehshare_truck, vehshare

 

 

 

end

 

 

 

 

 

6. edit cargrp.dat(so ped will use new vehicle)-> add test after each turismo

 

CODE

 

 

 

oracle, fortune, uranus, vigero, primo, admiral, df8, fxt, feroci, e109, pinnacle, habanero, sentinel, schafter, rebla, supergt, pcj, perennial, landstalker, faggio, comet, test, coquette, bus, # POPCYCLE_GROUP_MIDTOWN

 

 

 

 

 

7. place in common\data

 

carcol.dat

 

cargrp.dat

 

default.dat

 

gta.dat

 

images.txt

 

newveh.ide

 

newhandling.dat

 

8. place in pc\models\cdimages

 

newveh.img

 

 

 

i'm not good at explain i guess. if you didn't understand just ask here

 

and maybe someone can explain more better

 

 

 

known bugs:

 

depend on how many vehicle you add, there is a bug(minigame, carwash and maybe other place are screwed)(fixed)

 

 

 

if you find any bug just post it, so i can update this tut.(maybe someone can solve it)

if you are lazy,download this and extract two folder to your EXACTLY game root.http://www.mediafire.com/?5jz2qnymylo]http://www.mediafire.com/?5jz2qnymylo

and then download this file======>http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=5646

V 6.5

and then extract it to your game root.

 

 

 

 

 

3:custom car add

first download a package that a car in it.

example:http://www.gtainside.com/en/download.php?do=comments&cat=394&id=49117

if you want to add car not replace it, go with steps:

a)

rename two files in that package you have download it .example:

599x.wtd,599x.wft(wft and wtd are formats.you don not need change they!!only change name.)

b)add these files to your model file with open iv.here is a link:http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=18469

(for model file i meant newveh.img that in your game root====>pc===>models====>cdimages.)

c)then go to common==>data and right click to CARGP.dat,CARCLOROR.dat and deselect read-only.

you need to add lines.

example:

washington, 0,0,12, 4,4,12, 6,6,12, 10,10,12, 21,21,12, 23,23,12, 25,25,12, 33,33,35, 37,37,32, 49,49,63, 52,52,56, 54,54,55, 65,65,63, 67,67,118, 70,70,65, 98,98,90, 16,16,76, 9,9,91, 15,15,93, 19,19,93, 13,13,80,

 

yankee, 15,112,1, 26,78,1,

 

599xx, 0,0,1, 35,35,127, 1,1,3, 17,17,34, 21,21,21, 31,31,33, 38,38,30, 52,52,50, 69,69,63, 72,72,63, 81,81,63, 89,89,89, 95,95,90,

 

 

d)add line to newvec.ide,new handling.dat.

example:

New handling:

599xx 1500.0 7.0 85 0.0 -0.06 -0.18 0.0 5 0.34 1.0 225.0 0.34 0.65 0.7 35.0 1.50 1.50 13.5 0.12 0.48 2.0 1.3 1.3 0.12 -0.13 0.0 0.5 1.0 0.3 3.4 7 0.0 110000 440010 1 1

 

 

new vec:

599xx, 599xx, car, 599XX, COMET, [email protected], NULL, 1, 999, 0.2621, 0.2621, 0, 5, 1.0, 0, noboot+sports

 

 

e)if you want ped in city also ride this car,add lines to Cargp.dat

Example:oracle, fortune, uranus, vigero, primo, admiral, df8, fxt, feroci, e109, pinnacle, habanero, sentinel, schafter, rebla, supergt, pcj, perennial, landstalker, faggio, comet, 599xx, coquette, bus, # POPCYCLE_GROUP_MIDTOWN

 

f)if you want to spawn it,open trainer.ini file in game root(you need downloaded this trainer --->http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=5646)

and go to section ADDED CARS.

then in you see some lines.

Thanks for all the information but I still have some questions. The first link you gave sends me to some website where it offers me a program called lIvid downloader. Is this the correct tool? and secondly which folder/file is the car info in? I can't find the .dat files

[sk8te-penguin]

In the steps it says create a .dat file and a .ide file... how do I do that?
