VC Wolverine 6x6 v1.0 by ScapegoatSoup & DiCanio


=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Originally created for GTA3 by ScapegoatSoup - August 2002
VC Import & Reflections:  DiCanio - August 1st 2003
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This is the first true 6x6 Patriot Mod. It was originally made
as a Beta for GTA3 by ScapegoatSoup in August of last year but 
he kept getting an annoying error so it was never released. I 
asked to look at it and managed to sort the problem out. I 
also ported it to Vice City and added the reflection map. So, 
all credit for the model itself goes to ScapegoatSoup - my part 
in this was small ;o)


Tools you will need:
IMG Tool v1.3
VCTXD Tool v1.1b
Any text editor


Instructions:

Make a back-up copy of the Patriot DFF & TXD in the gta3.img
file by extracting them with IMG Tool to a folder on your 
hard drive. Now delete the DFF & TXD from your gta3.img file. 
Add the Patriot DFF & TXD from this Mod to your gta3.img file 
then Rebuild the Archive using IMG Tool.
See also the Installing New Vehicles text file in the STUFF 
folder.


HANDLING:
You can use the standard Handling line of the Patriot or you 
can use this supped up one. Either hash-out (#) the existing
Patriot line or just replace it with this one. Remember to
make a back-up copy of your handling.cfg file.
Alternatively you can use the Handling.cfg with this Mod.

Handling.cfg
PATRIOT 	3000.0 2.4 5.7 2.2 0.0 -0.01 -0.19 -1 1.3 0.95 0.5 5 280.0 33.0 4 D 16.7 0.5 0 27.0 1.4 0.09 0.28 -0.0001 80000 0.28 -0.11 0.5 0.0 3014004 0 1

Main changes in handling:
Faster speed and acceleration, better braking, can take much 
more damage, better road-holding, if you drive into water it 
will be re-spawned to the nearest land and you can now drive 
full speed on sand.


CARCOLS:
Change the Carcol.dat line for the one below. You can either
hash-out (#) the existing Patriot line or replace it. Remember 
to make a back-up copy of your Carcol.dat file.
Alternatively you can use the Carcol.dat with this Mod.

Carcols.dat
patriot, 15,78, 49,78, 69,78, 45,78, 51,78, 66,78, 56,78, 43,0


DEFAULT.IDE:
The Patriot doesn't drive around the streets of Vice City so 
you will need to alter your Default.ide file. Change the 
Patriot lines to the following - remember to make a back-up 
copy of your Default.ide
Alternatively you can use the Default.ide with this Mod.

Default.IDE
200, patriot, patriot, car, PATRIOT, PATRIOT, null, worker, 10, 7, 0,  252, 0.9

Two Patriots are parked in Vice City. One at Phils place in Little Haiti and the other at the film studios on Prawn Island.


WHEELS.TXD:
I've included a copy of a Modded Wheels.txd file. The only
difference from the original is the addition of a much better
tire texture. You will also find the BMP tire texture in the
Tyre Texture folder (tyre64a.bmp). If you already have a 
Modded Wheels.txd then just replace the tyre64a texture with 
the one from this Mod using VCTXD Tool.
The Wheels.txd file can be found in your Rockstar directory
in the Models/Generic folder. Just replace it with the one 
from the Tyre Texture folder in this Mod.


Copies of altered Handling.cfg, Carcols.dat, Default.ide and Wheels.txd are included with this Mod as well as copies of the original files - in case you forget to make back-up copies ;o)
Also included are the usual collection of goodly screenshots :o)



That's All Folks!


Have Fun!

Check whither your files are Read-Only. This is a common 
problem with Vice City. Grab this wee program and let
it change your Read-Only files for you with no fuss.
CROA - http://www.davidcrowell.com/croa.html

Just right click on the main Vice City dir after install 
and choose Clear Read-Only Attributes.

Tip of the Week:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
GTA MOD INSTALLER
For all you Modders out there - and there's quite a few! Take 
a look at cpmusicks GTA Mod Installer. Not only will it
install cars automatically in GTA3 and Vice City but it will 
also change the handling, default and carcol entries if these 
are included in the Mod! Pretty kool stuff. It will install 
other Mods too which require DFF or TXD replacement etc in the 
GTA3.img file, or indeed ANYWHERE in the Rockstar Games 
directory. It will save you quite a bit of work and anyone who
installs Mods on a regular basis will find the job easier if a 
Mod comes with an Install Script for the GTA Mod Installer. 
Grab it here: http://www.gta3hq.com/ - :o))

NEW version also backs-up any files it replaces so that you
can uninstall any Mod with ease! A good thing just got better!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-

Game Play Tip:
Fed up with your car disappearing as soon as you turn your 
back? Just press the Exit button along with the Run button 
and the door will be left open when you leave a vehicle. 
Your car will remain just where you left it for a long 
time. It's an old trick but well worth remembering :o)
