--=== TnP'S DATSUN 120Y FOR GTA3 ===--

Vertices: 1417
Polys: 2004
Designed to replace: Manana (but any other 2 door will do with some simple re-naming)
Hours to build from scratch: Dunno. Probably about 20.
Tools Used: Photoshop 7, 3D Studio Max 4.2, Z-Modeller, IMG Tool, TXD Tool.

--=== UTERUS INSATLLATION ===--

To install the mighty 120Y, re-name the .dff file to that of the vehicle you wish to replace. For example, if you want to replace the Manana (which I did), rename it manana.dff. Update the texture name to match the model also. (i.e. do the same with the txd file aswell).

Install the .dff into 'gta3.img' (using 'img tool'). Rename the old one (for backup) and ADD the NEW one. 

Install the .txd into the 'txd.img' (using 'txd tool').

It's not a bad car, damn ugly I reckon it doesn't look too bad. Some of the texturing is a bit dodgy, and that's cause 3Ds MAX was used to model the base, so when I imported it into ZModeller, it stuffed up the shading. Apologies for that.

I don't care what you do to it, so long as this readme accompanies the original files.

I made this model, from scratch, including the textures and is based on a few photos I had collected. A few people requested it and here it is.


----==== If anyone needs a hand with their model, drop me a line and I'll see if I can help. ====----

I spent many an hour going over websites, message boards, and using good 'ol trial and error, and it finally paid off.

---------> DO NOT RIP ANY OF THIS THIS OFF WITHOUT DUE CREDIT. I CAN SAY THAT IT IS ENTIRELY MY OWN WORK. <-------

THANKS!


--=== FAQ ===--

Q: It crashes the game!?!?
A: Check out www.gta3forums.com. You're not the only one, and you should be able to find a reasonable solution. BTW, It's probably best to replace a 2 DOOR VEHICLE instead of a 4. That might be it.

Q: How come the screen shot shows a white one, but it isn't in the game?
A: Cause I edited carcols.dat with a text editor and made white one of the possible colours. I did this cause my car is white.

Q: Where do I get TXD TOOL and IMG TOOL?
A: www.gta3files.com




--=== Future Plans ===--

Finish the Rail Buggy replacement for the BF Injection!

Stay Tuned!


--=== Distribution of this gear ===--

Again, you can do whatever the hell you like to this model, providing that if you distribute it, you must give me credit where credit is due. Feel free to add to this readme, or even start a new one, but remember one thing - RESPECT. 

Good night!
