GTA SA, Changing color of Patriot in Transfender

[Vilespring]

I am very new to GTA SA, and I already feel the need to make my own mod!

 

So, I've downloaded a model of the patriot that can have its color changed, primary color is body, secondary is wheels. I then had to go into the carcols.dat and make the patriot spawn the same color it did before, instead of bright red. (I did this alright, a tad bit lighter than the unmodded one. I'll fix it later)

 

I was conformed this was working when it spawns at the military base, and white Patriots spawned via garage mods changed to the default color in pay and sprays.

 

I then ran into a dead end. I cannot get the Patriot into transfender. It says cannot be modded. I added this into the carmods.dat, and still nothing.

 

....
nebula, bnt_b_sc_m, exh_b_l, exh_b_m, exh_b_t, exh_b_ts, nto_b_l, nto_b_s, nto_b_tw, spl_b_bar_m, spl_b_bbr_l, spl_b_bbr_m, spl_b_mar_m, wg_l_b_ssk
patriot,
oceanic, nto_b_l, nto_b_s, nto_b_tw

...

 

I'm confused, because doesn't this mean it is recongnized by the game as being moddable, but unable to have body parts added?

 

All I really want is color selection, but being able to put different tires on it would be a plus.

Maybe even, stretching it a bit here, hydraulics?

You have to put the parameters in carmod.dat, you can not put:

patriot, ??? -> patriot, any parameters

 

Patriot is not a civilian vehicle: you can not modify in TransFender...

You have to change the last parameter of vehicles.ide from -1 to 0, to enter into TransFender:

 

470, patriot, patriot, car, PATRIOT, PATRIOT, null, ignore, 2, 0, 0, -1, 0.894, 0.894, 0

 

However, you can only get into it. In fact, the main.scm does not allow it equally:

if and84C8: not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_flying_vehicle84A7: not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_boat8969: not car $CARMOD_CAR is_noncivilian_vehicle8975: not car $CARMOD_CAR emergency_vehicleelse_jump @CARMOD_2466gosub @CARMOD_23687

Main.scm also controls which vehicles have the second color, but if they are not in the list then assigns equally the second color,

for example the vehicle Bandito, which is not in carcols.dat

 

LIST:

ID: 422 = bobcat

ID: 423 = mrwhoop

ID: 424 = bfinject

ID: 429 = banshee

ID: 442 = romero

ID: 466 = glendale

Alright, so I've changed the parmeter to 0, but still getting unmoddable notification.

What else do I need to do to be able to paint it in the garage?

and if I wanted to change both colors, just add the patriot to the list above, by adding

 

ID: 470 = patriot

 

What tool do I need to edit Main.scm?

i try to help in this way:

normally the monster truck won't get accepted in tuning shops

but i installed a mod for the monster that comes with paintjobs and let the monster drive into tuningshop to get the paintjobs

i found out that it was because of an entry of the custom handling line:

 

MTRUCK_A	5000.0	20000.0	3.0	0.0	0.0	-0.35	80	0.65	0.85	0.55	5	120.0	50.0	25.0	4 P	7.0	0.45	0	35.0	1.5	0.07	0.0	0.45	-0.3	0.5	0.3	0.4	0.35	40000	00220081	00740040	0	1	20

entry of modelFlags (00220081) or handlingflag(00740040) or both made the trick

can't remember and actually i have no access to my PC

have a look to cerberas handling definitions

and btw. the Ford E-250 '86 Monster Truck is a very nice mod with excellent paintjobs

 

 

and if I wanted to change both colors, just add the patriot to the list above, by adding

 

ID: 470 = patriot

 

What tool do I need to edit Main.scm?

download and install sannybuilder

studying tutorial makes sense

then make backup of GTASA\data\script\main.scm and GTASA\data\script\script.img

then open main.scm with sannybuilder

scroll down to line 525006

there you find the script block that checks for car id's

then change a car id with this of patriot

the first for example:

 

04A3:   $10444 == 470

instead

 

04A3:   $10444 == 401

(consider that then the car of the changed id can't have the colormenue)

then save the source txt file, then click on "compile+copy" (game must be off for compiling script.img)

then test it

savegames should still work because you only changed a value
