GTA: San Andreas - bullet shell mod not working

[Crazy4Games]

Hi, so I've downloaded several versions of the bullet shell mod made by Ryosuke (the one that changes the 3D model of the shells that fall out of guns when firing and also makes them bounce/slide on surfaces instead of just falling under the map), but it simply won't work. To make matters worse, there are no installation instructions included with the mod. I'm led to believe that you simply copy and paste all the files into the game's main folder, but no luck. If it helps, I have CLEO 4.4.0.

 

Here's one of the download links: https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas/mods/134494-shell-bullet-capsules/

I would recommend you get Ryosuke's mods from the official source first to avoid corrupted files.

 

If I remember well, this mod has some issues with some PC specs and/or game settings (much like most Ryosuke's mods), check if you're playing at 16 or 32 bits, adjust resolution, enable widescreen (a widescreen fix could hep too), set graphics level at max, adjust distant view, etc. Don't forget to also have an ASI loader installed. And last but not least, keep your drivers updated

Thanks for providing the official source. :)

 

Unfortunately, I've tried all of your suggestions and nothing has worked. I've even tried adjusting the game resolution step by step, but that didn't work either. I do already have an ASI loader (specifically Silent's one), but the mod still won't work. When I try the Ultimate ASI Loader, I receive this error message: "Unable to load shell.asi. Error: 126"

 

Do you know of any other mods out there that make bullet shells bounce when they hit the ground (instead of falling under the map) after you fire a weapon? That's honestly all I'm looking for.

Try using the ASI loader included in the last version of CLEO, you could also disable the blur effect (by doing this you can solve graphic incompatibilities). 

 

Test the mod in a clean game (make sure it's v1.0; test it with this and this) with only the required stuff to make it work, if still doesn't, we can discard a game issue and focus on external ones.

Hello mate ! Firstly, I would suggest reinstalling a clean file of Gta san andreas

Consider downloading open limit adjuster from here-https://www.mixmods.com.br/2014/09/iiivcsa-open-limit-adjuster.html

After taking a break from trying to figure out what was wrong, I decided to try this mod again and finally figured it out. It was working all along. Turns out in order to make it work, you first need to complete the first mission!

Something similar happened to me with the mod and I did everything in my power but could not solve it

The fact is that I wanted to use the Bullet Shells mod with the enb 0.306 series but when I started  playing gta the screen turned many colors leaving the game totally unplayable, something curious that I discovered is that the mod does work with the old versions of the series enb the ones from 2012 but for some reason it does not work with the new versions of enb, I hope someday someone can recreate this mod as it is one of the best I have seen during my stay in the gta community (sorry for the bad english , my language is Spanish) I hope you can understand what I wrote bye.
