Is it possible?

[Danny Soulson]

Hi all I just wanted to ask something.
Is it possible to instal a car skin (police car pack)
That doesnt have handling included in it??

These Current skins for gta are lame.

[Martijn]

Skins are allowed. Models not.

any change in cars length height weight, model and texture is not allowed, as it might make your car bigger, shorter etc.
So no they probably are not allowed, even if they do not change handling.

Texture modifications are allowed (.wtd files) as these do not change how cars behave, etc.

Car and buildings 3D models (.wft files) are NOT allowed, as these are the 3D models and generally change how cars behave (the only exception would be if the file only contains modified UV Maps).
Even the cars that are just the normal ones with a few changes (new bodykit, custom spoiler, etc) will most likely change how they behave, unless these additions have no collision embedded (most have).

Like i said I didnt ask are they allowed. No Need for screaming me about the rules.
I Asked are there any models that dont have handling and that have same hit points and speed.. etc

I know the rules no need for telling me.

Jesus man read the answers next time. You did not ask if there were models without handling, you asked if they were allowed.

WTD files are allowed. (textures-only file)

And in 99.99999999999999% cases, WFT files are NOT allowed. (3D file).

So if your mod only contains a .wtd file, feel free to put it. It won't change the way the car behaves.


THIS IS NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE THE .WFT FILE (3D MODEL) IS NOT THE ORIGINAL.




THIS IS ALLOWED BECAUSE ONLY THE TEXTURE (.WTD FILE)CHANGED, KEEPING THE ORIGINAL 3D MODEL.


Is it clear for you now?

When you download your mod open the folder and there you can see all the file+names like police.wtd and police.wft (<--  I used random names, In your case it probably will be different )

Exactly what Loon said.

Whenever you download a car mod, it usually comes with both .wft and .wtd files, or just .wtd if it's a skin.
Unless it is a large carpack, these usually replace the vehicles.img file.

What is vehicle.img?
     Well, a very simple explanation is that vehicle.img works similarly to a .zip or .rar file. It is a file with many files inside.

What files are inside vehicle.img?
     The .wft and .wtd files I have been talking about all this time!

How do I replace them?
     There are many tools for that. OpenIV is a good one.


     But remember, if you don't want to be banned from ArgonathRPG, you better stay away from changing .wft files
     (3D model, like I said before)

     And again, .wtd files are fine and will NEVER change the way a car behaves.

     Also, don't change lines in handling.dat, vehicles.ide, etc!


Trust me, I'm an engineer
