Did you install the dff and txd to oldveh_xxx.img ? If you just install them to gta3_xxx.img then the original cars spawn. I'm using a custom rom too.

Hmm. I think its player.dff and player.txd :confused:

Nice, but this is for vice city.

Edit: I'll will try now to get REAL GTA working.

me too I wonder how well it would cope on a gt540 if its even possible.
[Android Apps and Games] KotsChopShop:
one thing I haven't seen mentioned and is necessary, you should clear your read-only attributes from the gta3 root folder before you start modding anything - if you don't, the results will be your editing not having any effect
[Android Apps and Games] mythek88:
man this thread brings back so many memory for gta3. I remember when I was playing this on my PC, i literally replaced every single stock vehicle with high quality super cars. and tweaked most of the sport cars to be super fast and super good at handling. The other day I was wondering if customization can be done on android and your thread just saved me a ton of research. ty very much!

now this leads me to wonder, can you create custom missions and really modify the game like how it was on PC? (I'm not talking about just replacing models/skins of vehicles or buildings, but I'm talking about modifying to create custom missions, put vehicle or plane wherever you want, and etc... I remember using a mission editor or tool from a guy named bartson (not sure if i remember his name correctly) from the gtaforums.
[Android Apps and Games] ThexJoker:
This should be possible with a .scm Editor. But I am not able to script with OP code.

Edit: I tried a stripped main.scm but nothing changes. :-\

[Android Apps and Games] resistivecorpse:
did you try playing a mission while using the stripped main.scm? while trying to get the Frosted Winter mod running i used it's main.scm but the main mission points still exsisted however attemping them freezes the game
[Android Apps and Games] ThexJoker:
Yes. I tried new game and the mission starts. And savegame works too, so the replacement won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] reggiexp:

[Android Apps and Games] badf179:
im a noob

when im about to replace the existing files with the new ones it says "file is too big to replace" what should i do about that?
[Android Apps and Games] rjququalls:
Where the downloading for img 2.0
[Android Apps and Games] ThexJoker:
Delete the file inside the .img and then commands-> add and add you car
[Android Apps and Games] resistivecorpse:
i also tried a new game and thel opening scene/mission with 8 ball still plays however attempting any of the missions would result in a freeze. im wondering if we need to replace the cutscenes in the cuts.img(located in gta3/amin) for it to properly link to the new missions
[Android Apps and Games] fkuk:
i add the cars to the oldveh file

but i dont know how to find the cars

how to i make the cars show up

or do i change the file name to a car that shows up more often

Hi,

Is anybody out there who managed to run the game with dmagic wheelmod? I've tried Ver. 2.0 and 3.0 but without success.

Maybe a reason why lots of mod cars won't work...

Cheers

Zap
[Android Apps and Games] ThexJoker:
You have to replace them and than seatch in the citys for the changed car.

For example: You have a car that replaces the Stallion.

You can just rename stallion.dff and stallion.txd to banshee.dff and banshee.txd.

And in the handling.cfg you have to replace the line for banshee and not for stallion.

Hmm, for me it works a lil bit. Only cars from the category "littlevan" have new 3D wheels. Other cars have no wheels.
[Android Apps and Games] gamezone94:
I've also had success. Thanks for this guide. But I think there will be the same bugs like you have with a modded PC Version but I'll try.
[Android Apps and Games] tastypotato:
Don't know if this would be the appropriate thread to post in but I'm trying to get GTA III to work on my Droid X. Is there any tools or some sort of mod I can run on the files to get it to run on my sub-par hardware?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

"a lil bit" was not what I wanted to read ;-) Well, however, I've found Ver 1.0 so I'll try this, too. What's the version you are using?

Btw. it seems strange that only the "littlevan"-cars have some wheels. Difficult to find out the problem. Since wheelmod simply, well, "takes away" the wheels I would say that it is a mod-depending issue (texture bitrate? dff-version? I don't know...)

So I'll try to mod my GTA at first with cars not using the wheelmod, I think this will bring some better results.

Here's a list of cars that a) are not using the wheelmod and b) that were definetely made for GTA 3 (and NOT for Vice City, too) and c) that are looking reasonably good:

All the cars should be available on gtainside.com

- 1934 Ford Coupe Hot Rod

- 1951 Ford Pickup

- 1957 Ford Ranchero

- 1986 Toyota Hiace

- 1974 Lincoln

to be continued...

[Android Apps and Games] cjsxoom:
no worky :-(

hey , been scouring the net all day trying too mod my gta3 with new cars but just can't seem too get it too work. As far as I can figure I can't view the correct files (oldveh_unc.dir or oldveh_unc.img) all I have when I go too \com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\models is fixedveh_dxt oldveh_dxt and gta3_dxt could any of you guys shed some light on this im new too android and modding games. Im using a Motorola XOOM wifi and im running version 3.2 of android I've downloaded imgtool and dmagic1s wheel mod although im having trouble installing that on the XOOM

cjsxoom
[Android Apps and Games] :
As ThexJoker mentioned below: There are different filenames. The part between the underline ("_") and the ".img" is device/chipset dependend. On Galaxy S2 we have a "_unc" there. On your device (Xoom) it is a "_dxt" which means that you have a chipset that uses DXT texture compression - Tegra 2 in this case.

Simply open the oldveh_dxt.img with the img editor and replace your car.

Ah, something more I've read about these files: on some devices the game doesn't use the cars in the oldveh_...img files, but the cars contained in the gta3_...img file. This file contains the Xbox car models with some more detail (3D engine block), but it will only work on powerful devices.

What your device is using currently you can check simply by crashing a car with its front side until the hood falls off. When you can see the 3D engine it is the gta3_...img file, when there is a simple and flat texture, then it uses the oldveh_...img.

Cheers

Zap
[Android Apps and Games] ThexJoker:
The filenames can be different. On my Galaxy S 2 the filenames are oldveh_unc, gta3_unc fixedveh_unc.

To install a new car you have to replace the dff and txd inside oldveh_dxt.img.

Anyone have any luck skinning the character? I grabbed some skins from gtainside.com and replaced player.bmp in data/model/generic after renaming my skin of choice player.bmp and although it replaces the image in the folder, my character still looks the same. Where are they hiding that?

You may have a device or ROM that GTA III does not support at this time. What device are you trying to put it on and if rooted are you running a ROM, if so which one?
[Android Apps and Games] underlines:
Hi

Glad to see that the game files are 99% similar to the original PC version.

But I have a big problem:

I tried to mod the handling.cfg, but I can't start the game when I just change one letter in the file, even a commented line.

What i tried:

1. Plug USB to PC, open the file with notepad++ /Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\data\handling.cfg

2. Just change one letter of the comments, didn't even change values at first

3. Plug out USB, open GTA III

4. Video plays, closes before the game menu appears, no FC, no message

Did the same without a PC, just on the phone with ES-Explorer and their Notepad app

Did the same without a PC, with TotalCommander

Can't be an encoding problem, because I tried different editors, even on PC.

Tried to download a modified handling.cfg from differnet sources, which works for other users (on Android and on PC), but same problem on my andriod: Game-menu doesn't appear.

Does anyone knows what's wrong?

Why not all cars replice?
[Android Apps and Games] Xelasarg:
Because the file becomes too big and breaks ingame textures. But feel free to go ahead and try, just watch out oldveh.img doesn't grow bigger than 21 MB.
[Android Apps and Games] sid.parmar:
my computer wont let me replace the files, IMG tool keeps telling me they are too big. CAN ANYONE HELP ??
[Android Apps and Games] Xelasarg:
You have to delete the files you want to replace first. E.g. if you want to replace the kuruma model, start IMG tool, delete kuruma.dff and kuruma.txd, then add the new kuruma.dff and kuruma.txd files and click "Rebuild archive".
[Android Apps and Games] RiceDie:
This MOD will not work for Tegra 2 owners
[Android Apps and Games] jon.m1:
thanks for this! I did have to change a few of the file names, as it wasn't replacing the files, I'm sure most people will understand this once they try to copy this

And when I did load up gta 3 it would only play for about 5 secs then crash but I had my settings on max which seemed to work before, but i changed it to high and it works fine now. Also your right about the black cars popping up, it doesn't bother me tho, thanks for sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] Xelasarg:
Hm. Have you renamed oldveh_pvr.img and oldveh_pvr.dir accordingly? The "_pvr" means PowerVR, look into your original files to see how the Tegra2 ones are named.

That shouldn't be necessary, unless your phone has a different gpu. Please tell me (and RiceDie) it's a Tegra2 and you found a way to make it work ;)

You are using the latest version, are you? Because there shouldn't be more black cars than usual. Mind that almost every car I've replaced may appear in black because it's one of the different colors I've used for most of the replacements.
[Android Apps and Games] RiceDie:
GTA III v1.3 on a clean install created a folder "com.rockstar.gta3ger"

So hence installing from your archive they where just all alone :o sitting in another folder... I guess this is what happends when you work and fiddle with your devices during work :D

this is Tegra 2 files

oldveh_dxt.dir

oldveh_dxt.img

Any how I renamed them as written above but the new cars didnt appear drove to see Senitel cars... still the same..

Im too lazy and no time to read again all the thread and replace HQ cars manually and then test if they appear correct... and no game crashes...

I need to re-read thread I forgot where the high quality car models are kept for tegra 2... So I guess this mod will not work on Tegra 2.. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Xelasarg:
You must have done something wrong, there should be either modded cars or the game should crash :confused:

Follow these steps:

- rename the files "oldveh_pvr.dir" and "oldveh_pvr.img" (the ones from my MOD) to "oldveh_dxt.dir" and "oldveh_dxt.img"

- copy both files to your game dir (Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3ger/files/GTA3/models), overwriting the existing files (backup the 2 original ones before overwriting!).

- Next, replace the files in Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3ger/files/GTA3/data with the modded ones.

- If the game crashes, change detail settings via menu (dunno if that helps, but it did for jon.m1).
[Android Apps and Games] jon.m1:
Ahhh right that might explain it, I'll have to have a look when i next can be bothered haha. But only the cars that haven't been modified are black, not the modified cars so I'm not bothered too much.

But the crashes glitch (what i mentioned earlier about having to switch from max to high) It may be to do with the fact I'm running gta 3 without chainfire because for some reason the first couple of releases of gta 3 kept crashing so I haven't bothered with chainfire since. Maybe now they have updated gta 3 with less bugs it might even work better with chainfire installed and with the correct plug ins

And btw yeah I'm using the latest gta 3 version

Hey everyone

I recently installed coolexe's 'cool 3d sense' rom on my desire. Before I installed the rom, I partitioned my sd card and created a 1gb ext4 partition besides a 3gb fat32 partition. Then, I flashed the rom. After the rom booted up, however, there were only a few kilobytes of free space left, besides the ext4 partition I created. What could be the reason for this? (My phone keeps annoying me about lack of storage and can't even save settings anymore).

I am also not sure what class my SD-card is. Could this be associated with the problem?

Thank you for any help

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturd:
Hi, I encountered a similar problem. What I had to do was format my sd card, then create the fat32 partition first and then the ext partition.

It worked for me, hopefully will do the same for you too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
Oke.

just to point this out and help a couple of people.

the current state of gaming on the Gnex is..rater terrible.

Allot of game's camp with the multitouch error/glitch/compatibility.

Yes multitouch doesnt work how it should work.

The cause of this might be the SB(software buttons)

and an API that needs to be implemented to the game to hide the SB.

And these are the apps i currently have tested and dont work with multitouch:

GTA 3-(update announced for gnex)[No market support yet]

Cartoon Wars

Modern combad 3[No market support]

GTA3 explenation:

When touching accelerate and making a right or left turn, your car slows down.

When touching right or left and accelerate.your car does not accelerate.

CM3 explenation:

Random Stoping occures.

Glitshing/shivering touch pads.

Not being able to aim and move around at the same time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Zfi3i1ejs

These all are randomly occurring and happen on most Gnex devices.

its the same thing when you put 2 touch pads next to each other in unity3D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] massimax:
modern combat 3 works fine indeed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
It works,yes.

but not how it should.

it has the touch issue....

BTw.. if you didnt read. this thread is about games having issue's with the Gnex..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
GTA III and Shadowgun work fine for me. I'm downloading Modern Combat 3 right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] massimax:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TungstenM:
Shadowgun works fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
Read my update.

As for shadow gun,than that might only be my Gnex with faulty Data files.

video currently uploading/processing.

in the video itl show the conflict area thats causing the multitouch problem.

this problem would disappear if the conflict area is gone. and to make that disappear.you need to make the SB disappear.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starchildx:
i dont understand the point of the thread. you are pointing out that some games, which arent out for the galaxy nexus dont work right?

just wait until the games are out for the galaxy nexus......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juicemane_:
Hes not blaming the games, hes just pointing out incompatibility issues. I have experienced this issue on and off with some games, GTA III in-particular.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The issue is the bug. Once incurred you can only get rid of it via toggling your screen off/on. Seems to be the trick.

I've experienced it in several other games also. Works fine then totally bugs out. Seemed to me it had something to do with the screen timer. I was playing a game and my gf grabbed my attention. When I returned to playing it was all bugged out. Toggle the screen and went back to business.

I don't think it has anything to do with the on screen soft keys, but rather a screwed up kernel driver.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GermanGuy:
This is my first Android Phone without an SD card slot (Had Samsung Galaxy, Thunderbolt and Bionic before). Trying to understand. Is the Internal Storage a physical storage medium like you find in the iPhone or is it an internal SD card? Some people talk about virtual SD drive and partitioning. Am I able to partition the internal storage so that part of it will work like an external SD card and does not get erased with ROM upgrades? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the internal memory is a nand chip, it's much better than having a microsd card like the HD7 and mozart, as it runs much faster, and less error.

but not too sure about partitioning it, as you only get about just over 13GB users memory.
