Title: Modding problem
Post by: Hidduh on April 27, 2010, 06:52:15 pm: When I try to install a skin using IMGtool (I replaced the right files --> re-building) it doesn't show the modded skin, but only the original.. Help? D:

Post by: Hidduh on April 27, 2010, 07:13:39 pm: Could be..

Also, I rename the files before replacing (example dsher2.dff instead of replacing), could that cause a problem? (Just asking, I dunno anything about modding :x)

I tried replacing, still shows the basic skins.

You need to select dsher.dff from the gta3.img, then replace.

Right now, you probably replaced the first file in the gta3.img

IMG Tool >
Open >
gta3.img >
Right Click dsher.dff & dsher.txd >
Rename >
dsher.dff & dsher.txd to dsher2.dff & dsher2.txd >
Commands >
Add >
dsher.dff & dsher.txd >
Rebuild archive.

Or did I just (...)ed up everything? :lol:

What I usually do:
Open IMG Tool
Open GTA3
Search for the skin I want to replace
Extract to a map
Go to the map, rename the ORIGINAL .txd and .dff to anything to make sure I know it's not the modded one
Go back to IMG Tool (did not close)
Replace the original files for the modded ones
Press the red [X] to close

Run SA:MP and it works.

By the way, try Alci's IMG Editor - great, fast, easy

Never do that, and my mods work like a charm :)
