[TUT] SA: Re-Claiming 6th Wheel On DFT-30

[captainkman]

Hi everyone,

 

Here's a tutorial on how to get back the missing wheel on the DFT-30 truck using the free 3D modelling program, Blender. There's a video link too.

 

You will need:

- Blender 2.5 or above

- The DFF Import/Export script from here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=522492&st=0

- IMGTool

- TXDWorkshop

- Python 3.0 or above for Blender

 

1. Using IMGTool, extract dft30.dff and dft30.txd from gta_3.img, preferably into its own folder.

2. Make a folder inside the first one called 'dft30.dff_tex'.

3. Using TXD Workshop, extract the textures from dft30.txd into the dft30.dff_tex folder you made earlier. Also get the generic vehicle textures out of vehicles.txd.

4. Start Blender and import dft30.dff into it.

5. Find the attachment called 'wheel_lm' and rename it 'wheel_lm_dummy'.

6. Export the model as a .dff, with the same name as the old one, 'dft30.dff'.

7. Using IMGTool, replace the old .dff with the new one.

8. Enjoy driving a DFT-30 with 6 wheels!

 

The video tutorial version is here, made by me:

 

Have fun.
