[ANSWERED] Why the mods I implied to my GTA SA aren't working?

[Randall]

Why the mods I implied to my GTA SA aren't working? I implied so many weapon mod skins but that all aren't working. I mean, there's no error while I'm coming in game, but there's no mod skin appearing in game.

EDIT: I used spark for my mods.

[Corozzo]

This is what I do mate. I got a fresh new custom on my desktop, I place the mods on that custom and then replace the original one with the one you modded on the desktop, everytime you want to add a mod, do this.

Did you rebuild the archieve .. ? Usually this happens when you forget to rebuild the archieve, so the files which you have added wont be saved due to that

What do you mean by that "archieve" and where do I am able to see that?

[Chucky]

What kind of mods did you apply?
dff txd files etc etc, mention which kind.

[Pixel]

I would recommend you to use Alci's IMG editor, i'm using it and didn't faced any problems for now.

Usually I'm using .dff & .txd files.

There are 2 reasons why you cant see your mods

1st reason is that you didnt press " SAVE " after importing the files

And 2nd reason is that there's another same file ( custom.img/ gta3.img, depends on which are you adding mods in ) which OVERWRITES your file which you're adding the mods in

If you already pressed SAVE, then I bet there's a hidden file which overwrites your file which you're adding the mod files in, so search for a hidden file and if you find, delete it

P.S. It's not because of Spark, I use it and have no problems at all, just read what I said

I think the 2nd reason was the reason why I'm having the problem, gonna do that now.

EDIT: I don't know how to find that hidden files, I can't find it wtf.

I found a gta3 file there, should I delete it?

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Did you add the mod files in gta3.img ? If so, then first make a backup of the hidden gta3.img file ( copy-paste it to desktop or so ) just in case. After you have the backup, delete it and then again add the files wherever you were adding already, save and exit.
If you're getting a crash after deleting that file then just paste back the gta3.img backup which you made there

Next time mod custom.img instead of gta3.img, much easier and better

[Corozzo]

OK NO LISTEN TO ME NO ALLIE FUCK OFF NO RANDALL FAG OR WAT

I did what you stated, but its still not working.

[Yuri Zakhaev]

That hidden file of gta3.img is made to everytime overwrite your gta3.img ( when the process gta_sa.exe starts ) so the only way to get rid of it would be reinstalling the game .. I had exactly the same problem so that's what I actually did ( a few months ago )

Also, try to add the mods in custom.img instead of gta3

I tried to imply my mods in custom.img but its the same with the gta3, it does not working.

[Dempseyy]

I have the same problem...

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Then the only solution I guess would be to reinstall your GTA ( delete EVERY file of gta ) and then mod your custom.img instead of gta3.img, always have a backup of the file/ files which you're going to overwrite and you wont face any problems, atleast I didnt encounter any problem since I reinstalled my GTA and always have a backup of everything

[Niky]

Might be beacuse your GTA3.img is fucked up somehow, try downloading the backup file and replacing it. Once you have done that if you plan to install mods again I would suggest you to use IMG Tool or Alci's Mod Installer, you can find tutorials on the net, also don't forget to rebuild archive each time you drop an mod into you game. Use an [Answered] tag if your question has been answered.

Fucked up = a hidden file which overwrites the original
It's not the IMG editor problem, it's all about the hidden file which overwrites his original

[Ortega]

[Corozzo]

Deleted.

Don't insult and caps if you have something private please PM the requested person, deleted.

[Yuri Zakhaev]

And btw you should try what Corozzo said, I already succeeded to install some mods to a guy that had exactly the same problem as yours

Just get a new custom.img, add the mods there, save and exit
After that delete the hidden file of custom.img ( read my previsious posts to see where that is ). And then finally copy-paste the " new " custom.img where you added the mod files in and replace it with the original of your GTA SA --> SAMP folder, the mods will work I guarantee
