Modding help

Some mods can be nasty to instal. Either there are many files or they dont work.
I suggest you to use SAMI (( http://grandtheftauto.filefront.com/file/San_Andreas_Mod_Installer_SAMI;55091 ))If one of you needs a sami script for the mod (car, skin, building, map) PM me with the link of the mod and your MSN id and will send you the sript

For weapons GGMM http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=434

How to install: Each mod you download consists of two files for each item i.e. bat.txd and bat.dff
Now you open GGMM and select "Cars" or "Weapons" search for the car/weapon in search bar then click on the top on "Installer" --------->on the light bulb "Manual mod installer" ------->in DFF bar browse your PC for the desired mod dff---------> do the same for TXD file-------------->Install

WARNING!!!!!!!! before modding an object at "Installer" button on top there is a button on bottom named "Create backup" and backup the original object before modding in case mod is bugged.

Well I am doing it for you.

REMEMBER MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR GTA.3.IMG, IF THE MOD IS BUGGED,
YOU WILL USE THE OLD BACKUP AND GTA WILL WORK AGAIN, IF YOU DONT HAVE
BACKUP AND MOD WONT WORK YOU HAVE TO INSTALL WHOLE GTA AGAIN


First step
1.1. Downloand img tool, link: http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=63
1.2. When you're done with downloading, unzip it.
1.3. When you have done it, open the img tool, right click on the image and take '' Run as Adminstator ''
1.4.
Then you can spot ''File'' button. Press File --> Open -->
Rockistar games --> GTA San andreas --> Models --> GTA3.img
file.then Click open.

Step two, installation.

2.1 Download mod what you want to install, for example http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=5898

2.2 When you have downloaded it,Now Unzip in and you can see some .dff and .txd files.
2.3 Now, When you have the img tool open and you have opened Gta3.img file you will start replace files here.
2.4
Look at img tool and find button '' Edit '', Then click on ''Find'' and
that gun while what you want to install, For example desert_eagle.dff
when you have found it, click on Commands and take from there ''
replace '' and find that deser_eagle.dff from that floder what did you
download, mods, then click on desert_eagle.dff and replace it. Do that
same thing for .amx file otherwise it wont work.
2.5 When that is done, you have installed Desert Eagle mod. IF you want another gun mods do that same for the other files...
2.6 When you have modded all weapons what you want, Press ''commands'' and take ''Rebuild Archive'' and wait till its done.
2.7 When the rebuild Archive is done close the img tool and start to lay.

No problem mate

hmm thank you

One thing I love about vista is that its as if I have two GTA SA MP. One is if I right click and run as administrator ( where I use mods) and if I just click it, (with no mods). But I do have backups. Good Tutorial, both of you.
