leaflinks Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi, I tried using img2.0 to add a txd, but any functions just seem to stop it working. In the past any img tool I have used on windows xp, I am trying for windows 7 to keep my use of the game onwards, and use my mod file I made a long time ago for it. It isn't a must, but to looking ahead with my files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaflinks Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 I don't know what to do with getting any new files added into the gta3 img file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAZ Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Img2.0 works on winxp, win7, win10 It's a very old and simple tool for me on win10 a error message appears first, i can close the error window and then use the tool normally There're other tools, more comfortable and with more functions IMG Manager Alci's IMG Editor important is that you run the function "Rebuild Archiv" after changing files Meanwhile we use MODLOADER I't a plugin that makes mod files loading into game while game load without modifying IMG archiv Advice for newbies: - Make first backup copies of the game files, i recommand to make minimum two copies of the whole San Andreas directory - Make shure that the file properties are not read-only - disable UAC if mods not working related topics Modding GTA San Andreas for Beginner's GTA SA Modding book Edited September 2, 2021 by ZAZ CLEO MODS CLEO Script Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 My mod is for vice city. I did try img2.0 Even I had problems with the oldest img on windows xp, but I have two system that have my mod working. I'm running a GX270 pentium 4, and Dell dimension 4600, so as you can may be imagine these are from nineteen years ago, their components, and motherboard. Eventually, one or the other, both will stop working. I do have one mod for SA, but the SA I bought over ten years ago was a locked one, so I couldn't unlock it or lost interest because of the problem with getting it unlocked. So as you can see, just adding, and nothing happens, I just close the program. I tried again, and this was the new error. The txd is 108kb, so the original is 44kb. But this has worked fine on img editor on xp, not 2.0, I just thought I'd try this program for windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) For the SA game, how do I unlock version 3. I do have one file for it. So I will give that ago. And what do use to install the file in the game? I did try IMG one, you linked, doesn't run, tried a Administrator and even windows xp service pack 2, it just fails to load. Last one didn't load either. Edited September 12, 2021 by leaflinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAZ Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) use other tools IMG Manager Alci's IMG Editor if you still on win xp, then test G-IMG Edited January 31 by ZAZ CLEO MODS CLEO Script Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 I am using windows 7. So what would be the one to use. I tried, the 2008 one of the IMG tool, and the 2012, one freezes, the other has an error, I don't think it added the files or rebuilt the gta3 archive file. As for Alci's. Failed to write entry. https://i.postimg.cc/bwrjrp84/Untitled.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfan_ Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Almost all img editors have problems. Why do you want to edit gta3.img? You may want to use modloader. You just add the files in a folder inside modloader and they work without editing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 I have two modded vehicle files for Vice city and San Andreas, in order to keep playing them in those games, I need to be able to use them on Windows 7. I have two old XP systems, but they won't work indefinitely, whether it is the drives or the power supply or some other component. So If possible, I may as well extend the use on windows 7 since I have a computer that can run the two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 The readme states to set it up like the following, where is the load file to add it in, sounds automatic? Where is the scripts folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjfan_ Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don't know anything about VC modding but for SA you should watch this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Hmm, the San Andreas copy I have is a 3.0. So if I want to add one mod file, I need to unlock it. Still no where with the vc. I think it is a possibility the computer I do have, will probably work long enough. For anybody who owned a Dimension 4600? The one I have had heavy use, and it still runs more than eighteen years. The other a GX 270 optiplex is from 2001, I think now. But the system is too old to get any games going on it, drivers, and so on, due to only having service pack one. But it is pretty useless other than storing text files and may be images as a depository. https://www.mapleuk.co.uk/ekmps/shops/mapleuk/images/dell-optiplex-gx270-sff-desktop-computer-p4-2.40-ghz-512mb-ram-40gb-refurbished-[2]-408-p.jpg https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.cgDkslJmoDrlMaCczlrNqwHaNK?pid=ImgDet&rs=1 So essentially getting a optiplex 780 as a legacy computer for VC and SA, I can at least keep my small files going. https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/5aac9fb1-9957-4ff1-845f-85c06a7742e6.f0154dd011556b1034682d5bbd467bf3.jpeg So eventually, if I decide to get a windows 10 old dell or something, I have some sort of legacy system. Otherwise, I have to discard my few old games. The stuff is too old now, old news, if I can preserve it some more years, that'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaflinks Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 I copied the whole data and models folder, from the xp system, and I then placed them on the windows 7 computer, I can play my mod for vice city. That was the solution, I tried before but only the img file, obviously that alone wasn't enough for the game to understand the changes. As for SA. I don't know how to unlock that to at least install the mod I have, and just copy the files over. Topic may as well be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
