============ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ============

If you already know how to install the car, open readme.txt!

**NOTE**: This guide uses "stallion" as an example!  The
car you should replace is the "recommended car to replace"
in the readme.txt!!!!!!!!

===================================================
========== 1. Installation instructions ===========
===================================================
---------------------------------------------------

You need these programs:

- Notepad (or any other text editor)

- IMG Tool (v.2.0 or higher)
  you can find it from any major GTA 3/VC site
  (for example: www.theborggaming.com)


NOTE:
REMEMBER TO BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION!
And remember to uncheck "read only" for the entire GTA VC
folder and every file in it.


In this little guide I'm using stallion as an example.
The recommended car to replace is in the readme.txd!!!!!!

You don't have to stick with the recommendation; you can
replace pretty much any car you want!  It's recommended to
replace a car which is at least the same type, though
(4-door, 2-door...)


==================================================
1.1. Installing mesh and textures (.dff and .txd):
==================================================

1. Open IMG Tool.  Open gta3.img with it.
   (File > Open)
   The gta3.img is located in "GTA SA/models"

2. Back up stallion.dff and stallion.txd by extracting them.
   (Edit > Find / Find Next)
   (Commands > Extract)
   Then delete stallion.dff and stallion.txd from the .img
   (Commands > Delete)

3. Add stallion.dff and stallion.txd from the folder where
   you have unzipped the zip file. If the car has additional
   paintjobs (in this case, stallion1.txd, stallion2.txd, etc)
   add them, too.
   (Commands > Add)

4. Rebuild the archive.
   (Commands > Rebuild Archive)


Done!

=============================
1.2. Installing car settings:
=============================

The values for these are in the readme.txt!!!!

Remember to back up handling.cfg, vehicles.ide, carcols.dat and
carmods.dat!!!!!  They are in "GTA SA/data"

-------------------
1.2.1. handling.cfg
-------------------

Open handling.cfg in Notepad.  Search for stallion.  Replace the
line of numbers after "STALLION" with the line in the readme.txt.
Be careful not to overwrite the next car's values!


-------------------
1.2.2. vehicles.ide
-------------------

Open vehicles.ide in Notepad and search for stallion.  Usually you
want to change only the wheel sizes.  They are the second last and
third last values in the line (usually something like 0.7, 0.7).
The first value of these two is for front wheels and the second is
for rear wheels.  I usually just put something like 0.75, 0.75 in the
readme.txt. 


------------------
1.2.3. carcols.dat
------------------

Open carcols.dat in Notepad.  Search for stallion.  Replace the
numbers (just numbers, leave the car name untouched) with the ones
in the readme.txt.


------------------
1.2.4. carmods.dat
------------------

This is basically just a list of the available car mods for the cars.
Open carmods.dat in Notepad and search for stallion (I bet you guessed
this one already :P).  Then just replace everything after "stallion,"
with the line given in the readme.txt.




Done!
Now you have everything installed!  Just run GTASA and enjoy!  ;)

=================== 2. Stuff ======================
===================================================
---------------------------------------------------

You may upload this to your site if you want but
only if you don't chance the contents of the zip 
file in any way!  And please do send me an e-mail
if you add this to your site!  I insist!  :)

If you want to 
 - modify and release the modified car
 - convert the car to another game
 - make the car a part of some mod
e-mail me and ask for permission first!  I might not
answer in the same day or even in the same week, though.
