San Andreas Map is complete removed
data files are empty, models of andscape, buildings, interiors are removed from IMG archives

 

Objects (not landscape, buildings) remain and can still be used by their originally id
objects of following ide files remain:

barriers.ide
dynamic.ide
dynamic2.ide
multiobj.ide
procobj.ide
vegepart.ide

counxref.ide
LAxref.ide
SFxref.ide
vegaxref.ide

levelxre.ide
seabed.ide

veh_mods.ide

propext.ide
props.ide
props2.ide

SPECIAL NOTE:

The game still loads all the ide and ipl files of originally GTA SA but these ide/ipl files are empty
The game engine expects to load a specified amount of ipl and ide data
It seems to me that it even expects the original files.

The result: NO SOUND BUG, NO FLICKERING OF THE LOADING SCREEN

 

(gta.dat still contains the loading list of originally GTA SA and additional the basicmap.img, basicmap.ide and basicmap.ipl.
These ide files and ipl files of this list are still available, but empty because i removed the content of these data files.)

 

Add loading entries for your map below of
IDE DATA\MAPS\basic\basicmap.IDE

as well as below of
IPL DATA\MAPS\basic\basicmap.IPL

 

MAIN.SCM:

Player starts at basicmap, just a tiny landscape, done by Steve-M

Working features:

Pool Billard
Vending Machine
Food Vendor (ice cart, noodle cart, chillidog cart)
Save Disk

 

 

// INSTALL //

2.) copy or unpack the folders with the files, of the mod, to GTA SA install directory

oh damn, i remember this. The original map cleaner tool was required for so many map mods back then.

I never got it to work though, i just remember that small window where you selected all the ipls to delete and then it just crashed

because of access validation or something.
