THIS MOD IS COMPLETELY SCRATCH-MADE. PLEASE DON'T MODIFY THIS. EMAIL wubbzy@hotmail.com OR PRIVATE MESSAGE TriadFishVan ON GTAFORUMS OR GTAGAMING IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MOD THIS.





- Yes, this is my first mod.

- This car can replace any four-door vehicle you want, though it's recommended that you replace the Greenwood, which is what I've tested the car with.

INSTALLATION FOR DUMMIES:

- Open "gta3.img" with an img editor like IMGTool.
- Find "greenwoo.dff" and export a backup to a folder, then delete it from the img file.
- Find "greenwoo.txd" and export a backup to a folder, then delete it from the img file.
- Import impala.dff and impala.txd. Rename them to greenwoo.dff and greenwoo.txd.
- If your video card is an older model which does not support DXT image compression, delete the file "txd.img". This will force Vice City to rebuild the file, which takes a few minutes but will allow the car's textures to appear in-game.

- Open Notepad. Go to the Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto Vice City/data directory, and open carcols.dat.
- Look for a list of colors and paste this text directly below that list:

136,130,110			# 146 sandstone		gold
21,35,80			# 147 superior blue	blue
142,147,141			# 148 medium gray	gray
91,37,51			# 149 berry red		red
158,0,10			# 150 victory red	red	
184,181,172			# 151 cappuccino frost	gray
22,28,22			# 152 impala-black	black

- You can change the # XXX if you have cols already installed on those numbers or haven't gotten that high yet.

- Scroll down in carcols.dat and find the entry for "greenwoo". Replace it with this line:

greenwoo, 146,152, 147,152, 148,152, 149,152, 150,152, 151,152, 152,152, 1,152

- The numbers on that line should reflect the numbers you assigned each of the above car colors to.

- Save carcols.dat and open handling.cfg in Notepad. Find the entry for GREENWOO and replace it with this line:

GREENWOO        1800.0 2.0 5.0 1.7 0.0 0.0  0.0  70  0.90 0.8  0.52 4 168.0 21.0 R P 5.4   0.60 0 35.0  1.2  0.09 0.26 0.54 19000 0.32 -0.16 0.5  0.0		2			0  0

- Save handling.cfg and open default.ide in Notepad. Find the entry for Greenwoo and replace it with this line:

222, 	greenwoo, 	greenwoo, 	car, 	GREENWOO, 	GREENWO, 		null,	normal,		10, 	7,	0,		249, 0.74

- Save default.ide and close Notepad.

- Play Vice City and enjoy your new Impala!








I want to give a huge thank-you to all the folks on gtaforums.com who helped me take this from my crappy first and second models to the current release. Without GTAForums, this mod probably wouldn't exist.
