GTA PS2 Modding Discussion

[inadequate]

 

How did you get it working?

Sony's Tool, latest version, making sure to write at the right lba(!!!!) and a little patience.

I will write a tutorial if anybody's interested.

In GTA3, you can change almost everything. It's not so hard. But some bugs might occur, wich me with the help of aap are trying to fix.

Yes please, a tutorial would be nice!

Now the question is, even though rhetorically, what more can be changed?

 

Theoretically, it be possible to replace any file in resources, but new file can't be more in size than old. Game just crash

 

Most of .dat files can be changed (without game crash). For examle PEDGRP.DAT

 

 

Also you can change MAIN.SCM (remember to keep the original file size or smaller)

Sorry for video quality, I had been bad emulation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting stuff!

 

By the way, how do you edited the pedgrp to make the buskers to spawn?

 

 

I just replaced original ped type names in Chinatown ped group

Well, i already have two people who want a tutorial.

Let's hope there will be more as i'm already planning the making of it!

 

Btw, some cars might crash the game if not properly exported with a good tool. And by the way, all the work i did on newer versions of windows apparently makes the game crash...so right now i'm all alone on XP.

I second this, a tutorial woud be very useful. Also, to learn more about Grand Theft Auto 3 modding on the PS2.

I Know The Way Of Changing Textures And Loadscreens In Console Games But Not Sure Because I Have Only Played Them On Emulator Once We Download The Iso Just Extract It With Winrar And edit the txd and gta3.img files Then repack the iso with imgburn 

 

I Removed The Link Because The Video Is No Longer Available Because Channel Got Removed Also The Post Of the mod Got Removed But It Is Still Available On My Internet Archive Account Just Find It By Searching gta 3 ps2 mod internet archive

Was these attempts on the 3 game only? What was done with vice city?

 

So model files and textures haven't been added. If that was done, wouldn't the data and model folders have to keep to the same size?

it can be done with vice city too i added kuruma to vice city instead of admiral but it has only one colour which is black

[puredorian]

Still no download link available, bummer 

[ps2 enjoyer]

Can i add vehicles,aircrafts (helicopters, a new dodo,attack helicopter...etc) without the game crashing?

Because the dodo's controls are sh*t

[puredorian]

No, you can't.

You can only modify existing files afaik, and the size of the files should not exceed the original.

 

Wish Mr.Kurowski   would share his guide, but he's not here anymore
