Hi everyone,
i write this topic so everyone can learn how to install new weapons, vehicles and more other stuff which are mods.
There are different ways to install mods and the most popular are 2:
- IMG Tool (manual replace)
- SAMI Install
In this topic, i'm going to teach you how to use IMG Tool, because it's harder since SAMI installs mods itself by double-clicking on a .sami script (which the releaser of the mods has to compile).
- First Step
Download IMG Tool 2.0 (i use this version) and a weapon pack (as example, but you can install vehicles too).
- Second Step
Make a backup copy of your "gta3.img" file (Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/models) and rename it into "gta3 - original copy.img" (if your mods go wrong and GTA doesn't want to start, just replace the modded file with this one).
- Third Step
Open the "gta3.img" file with IMG Tool by pressing on "File" > "Open"; you'll see a lot of files in it.
- Fourth Step
Search for the file you want to replace by pressing on "Edit" > "Search". (Example: i search for the deagle file).
Tip: search for the files also by extension. Seach before for .dff files and then for .txd
Then right-click on the searched file and hit "Replace". A new window will be shown up to make you select the file you want to add and press "Open".
- Fifth Step
The weapon is replaced, but the archive needs to be rebuilt. So, click on "Commands" > "Rebuild Archive", press "OK" at the little window and wait untill it says the archive has been rebuilt succefully.
Now you're ready to play GTA San Andreas with your mods!
Plese stick this topic
