Mercedes SLR McLaren for Vice City

This mod replaces the Hotring Racer by a Mercedes SLR McLaren. I converted this car from NFS4, the original author is tim_monaro_madness (quiksilv3r_dude@hotmail.com). I also want to thank Andrej.st who sent me the car.

I made the following changes:
- overworked chassis (better dash, added missing faces...)
- damage model
- carcols-compatible


- - -

Install:

To install the car you need Spooky's IMG-Tool and DMagic1s Wheel Mod, which is included in this Zip (see wheel mod-readme). You can find both tools on my homepage, too. You can open and edit the files handling.cfg/default.ide/carcols.dat with Notepad.


1. Installing the model:
- open the file "gta3.img" in your models-folder with IMG-Tool
- search for "hotring.dff" (with F3)
- rename it to "hotringold.dff"
- add the file "hotring.dff" from the zip-file (with CTRL+A)
 
2. Installing the texture:
- open the file "gta3.img" in your models-folder with IMG-Tool
- search for "hotring.txd"
- rename it to "hotringold.txd"
- add the file "hotring.txd" from the zip-file

3. Installing the handling:
- make a backup of the file "handling.cfg" in your data-folder
- open the file "handling.cfg" and change the Hotring-line like that:
HOTRING        1400.0	2.00	4.50	1.40	0.00	0.10	-0.30	70	1.30	0.89	0.50	5	310.00	32.00	R	P	11.10	0.48	0	35.00	2.20	0.20	0.40	0.05	300000	0.25	-0.16	0.50	0.30	183	1	2

4. Installing the wheels:
- make a backup of the file "default.ide" in your data-folder
- open the file "default.ide" and change the Hotring-line like that:
224,	hotring,	hotring,	car,	HOTRING,	HOTRING,	null,	ignore,	10,	7,	0,	249,	0.82
(Don't forget the wheel mod!!!)

5. Installing the colors:
- make a backup of the file "carcols.dat" in your data-folder
- open the file "carcols.dat" and change the Hotring-line like that:
hotring, 69,14, 0,14, 69,6, 53,3, 0,53, 35,0, 35,3, 12,72

That's it!
