GTA SA Modding Guide - Adding Cars, Guns, & Peds

[@XG417]

Hiya! I'm just now seeing this video, but thanks for featuring my workshop in it! Appreciate the tutorial video, it's very much needed within the community. Video Guides are much more effective than written ones IMO, and this one is very clear and the steps are explained properly and concisely. I'll be linking people to this video from now on if anybody asks for a good tutorial on how to add things! Here's a few tips of my own: -At this part (5:11), you can actually just select all 4 files, press F2, then change the name of one and it'll automatically change all of the files' names too! Just beware if there are two of the same file types, however. -I usually have a folder inside Modloader named *'&Custom Data'* _(I named it like that so it's sorted at the very top)_ and that's where I put all modifiable Data files that modloader doesn't usually detect in a .txt file, like 'cargrp.dat' or 'shopping.dat'. I'm mentioning this because you might find yourselves installing mods that modify these files, so to prevent conflicts, it's better to just modify a single file. Also, it's essential when you're adding Tuning Parts for vehicles. -If you're not using AutoID, it's essential to have a *'Free ID Generator'* script by fastman92 on-hand. It shows you what ID slots are still free and is a very handy reference when adding lotsa things. Some corrections: -13:47 - For planes/bikes, there are two lines used by the game: the main handling line _(the lines you see at the top of handling.cfg),_ and the special handling lines _(these are the lines below the RCRAIDER line in the file)._ The Special lines are the ones that need the &/!/% symbols and, should the added car need it, has to be copied to the .txt file along with the main handling line. -22:10 - Actually, RZL Trainer CAN spawn Addon Weapons, but you have to specify it inside _.../Cleo/RZL-Trainer/Add-on Weapons.ini_ . I haven't tried this though as I'm using other methods to spawn in Weapons. Alright that's all for now but yea, thanks again for the feature and the video! Keep it up my guy! :D

[@catsmackaroo]

Oh wowzers, I'm only 10 months late 🤪Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. I also greatly appreciate the corrections. Making this video I was figuring out how it all worked myself, so it was pretty overwhelming. Glad I didn't mess up too much! ✨

[@diegodiego8246]

You're amazing. I'm a potato regarding GTA modding and your channel is a life-saver. The only thing (and a small one honestly) that I found weird is that you give every link for every separated mod instead of uploading a .rar into mediafire or smthing like that. Aside from it, I really like your content, pacing and editing. Best of wishes. 😄😄

[@dratiac]

You know if some people don't need a specific mod and cats uploads a single .rar file which consists every mod, then the person will have to download the whole file for a single mod, which will waste of time and internet That's why he gives seperate (and original links that are shared by the creators) links for every mod And going to the link you might actually learn something about the mod, and will support the creator :)

[@diegodiego8246]

@@dratiac u'r right. That explains it.

[@roseflows6585]

because it takes so much time to ctrl+select each file and then click delete, right? @@dratiac

[@Souparno-l7c]

@@roseflows6585 @diegodiego there are several more reasons for this: 1. providing the original link is a professional courtesy in the modding community. A lot of authors wouldn't even allow reposting the mod package elsewhere or be clubbed with other mods, some might allow it if proper credits are given. But to just do it without asking the original author is considered like a big "fuck you" to the author. 2. Often the mods are updated, some are WIP, some for fixing bugs or compatibility issues with other mods, etc. Also on the original website the author might add some extra information about the mod, existing issues, compatibilities with other mods the viewer might have installed, etc. If a KZbinr takes a bunch of mods and uploads it to a third party website then there's no way for the viewer to know this information. 3. Mod authors are not employed by the game developer, they are most often modding as a hobby. Hence they rely on traffic on their websites to earn money for their hard work. Repackaging and reuploading elsewhere is like stealing from them in a way, unless you have their permission, which goes back to point #1.

Thanks Bro I tried this tutorial for vehicle and it works. For anyone having crashes use clean GTA SA and also start new game as savefile are causing crash

[@GvG1794]

I have no doubt, 2 years without playing this game and for a single mod I see this video again, really, until modifications like cleo, modloader or physics do not take such a big leap compared to Gtta 4 or Gta 5 This video will last until something new happens

[@ahmadyanuar11]

Thanks friend, now I can add a car without replace.

[@josipmoskatelo]

Nice video, one question though if you can answer: I put a lot of ped skin models and scattered them to be at least one in each ped group but when i play the game, most peds are normal and like only 2 out of 15 skins I've placed in the game show up. I tested the skins before, and they work fine. Is there something I can do to make them appear or maybe I shouldn't have put so much of them in every group? Thanks in advance.

[@yoji5759]

The method for bikes has changed. If you scroll thru handling.cfg you'll find two lines for any said bike. One normal one, and one with the ! and some spaces. Make sure to copy both for your custom bike to work, EX handling nrg500 50 606 40 ! nrg500 .40 30 make sure to replace the name with your own!

[@xignifect]

Thank you so much! I have been destroying my braincells for hours because of this. It made me rewatch the tutorials back and forth just to see if I missed anything but I didn't and still crashed. I love you bro!

[@leonrotedits]

Damn, somehow the game crashes on startup when trying to make a new game, only with the Essentials installed.... i tried installing fastman92s limiter but that didnt help either, do you know a fix??

[@mafia_gamer_official30973]

Hello again, Bro ! Thanks again for the guide about installing weapons, vehicles and peds to the GTA San Andreas. I did same as yours and have good result. But I have got one question. How to make a weapon become also as a vehicle ? You know what I am talking about - the cut weapon/vehicle by the name of Skateboard. I made it to spawn as a weapon. But I don't know how to make it as a vehicle. There is a Skateboard mod for GTA San Andreas but it hasn't finished : whenever you enter the skate, either the game crashes or PCJ-600 bike gets invisible. Please, answer soon ! Thank you ! 🇦🇿🙂👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

hi m8, so i prefer GTAALL website for my car models. my question is do i have to use the website u used or can i use different websites regardless

[@clyde3000]

im having trouble adding in cars that need to be included in the model special features dat file, specifically trucks. i've added them all in the file and replaced them with ingame trucks but they still wont connect, and would like some help trying to figure it out

[@privateerbouncher9622]

Can you try do this with train? I tried to use this to add a custom ID train, but the game won’t spawn it, or it crashes randomly near railroad (which were I believe the game can’t handle the spawn) there’s something I probably haven’t done, but no one really tells how the Cleo actually works, I guess you’re Amon the only 4 KZbinrs who makes tutorials on how Cleo works and how to add stuff through Cleo.

[@r0stkmultan259]

i repeat like you and when i lauch the game error says that number of weapon types cant be less than 70

[@mafia_gamer_official30973]

Such an intersting video ! I loved it ! I have been searching about this for some time. 🙂👍🏻❤️❤️❤️ I have a question, how can we make that, the added weapon spawn in somewhere in the map ? How to add them a spawn point ? For example, I added Beta Pistol (not replaced with colt45) and I want to set it a spawn point. How can I do it ? Please, answer. Thank you.

how to add custom sounds like if i aownload supra sound it have the banks and not the ide. how can i add that in addon car?

[@nemoztk7339]

Hey bro I followed your video and found it useful and clear, I inserted a couple of cars and everything was fine, however when I tried to insert a bike I managed to make it spown the colors I wanted with the right sound and I created the . Fxt and apart from the writing but when I get out and enter the vehicle the game freezes saying that it is modloader, I don't know if it's a problem of the bike in question or if I wrote it wrong but I don't think so, all the files have the right name and point to the right id

[@10Simon01]

so i do everything as you do in the tutorial bur after launching the game and loading a save or a new game it crashes and i know its only after i edit the .ini file in the beggining because i tersted without editing it and it dosent crash. But why does it happen? UUUUUPDATEEE: i tryed lowering the line count of killable model IDs from 12600 to 9400 and the game now loads no problem :) but for the audio i did a stupid and typed the name wrong Another update: I also added a new sniper but its a bit too overpowerd exploding cars wiht one shot. and btw i found that if you use zolika's trainer you can spawn added weapons if you know withc number you made it.
