NOTES: Scratch-built Mazda Protege5 model created in ZModeler v1.06f
for Grand Theft Auto 3. Installation instructions are as follows:

1) Download IMG Tool from http://www.gta3files.com/ if you do not
   already have this utility.

2) Backup your gta3.img and txd.img files. They should be located in
   your gta3/models directory. If you don't do this, then the only
   way to return your game to normal will be to reinstall.

3) At the moment, the only way to load new car models in the game is
   to replace an existing car with the new one. I chose the Perennial,
   and cannot guarantee that the model will load if you replace any
   other car. People have had success replacing other cars with previous
   models of mine, but use your own judgement.

   Using IMG Tool, load txd.img. Find the corresponding car TXD
   (ex. stallion.txd) and delete it from txd.img. This will take some
   time. Then, once the original car TXD is gone, add protege5.txd to
   txd.img. IMG Tool will prompt you to provide a new filename for the
   TXD; use the name of the TXD you just deleted from txd.img (from the
   previous example, also stallion.txd)

4) Repeat the same steps for gta3.img, only using the DFF files instead
   of the TXD files. So, delete carname.dff from gta3.img and add
   protege.dff and give carname.dff as the new name.

5) Load up GTA3 and look for your brand new shiny Stealth. Enjoy.

This model includes fully-working doors, as well as a complete set of
damage models and some new textures (lights, interior, grille). No 
changes to handling.cfg or carcols.dat were made - you can probably
tune a car better than I can.

Known bugs in this car include a slight tendency for parts of the 
interior to become see-through when viewed through the rear windows.
As far as I know, this car does NOT crash the game when moving between
parts of Liberty City (ex. Shoreside Vale to Staunton Island).

You may modify this car for public distribution on TWO CONDITIONS:
1) Tell me what you're doing, just so I know, and
2) On the website you host your new model on and/or in any
   documentation included with the model, you credit me and provide a
   link to the original.

If there are any problems or bugs, send comments to 
gta3models@chrominance.net.
