auther:     stefarn
model:      stefarn 
conversion: stefarn
release: 3. September 2007

installation: manuel 

Foreword:

Thank you very much for choosing this download.
I'm glad to present you this T-47 Snowspeeder today.

In the next steps I will explain how to make this model 
playable.

Installation:

The download consists of several files. The "rustler.dff" and
the "rustler.txd" are the most important ones because they give the
model its shape and colour. These files have to be changed with the old
files with the same name which can be found in the gta3.img-File.

you can find it under:

Rockstar Games -> Grand Theft Auto San Andreas -> models -> gta3

Now you need a special tool that is able to open this type.
I recommend the IMG Tool v2.0

can be downloaded here:

http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=63   
http://gta-action.planet-multiplayer.de/dlm/categ.php?cat=129&sort=added&order=DESC&show=10&page=6
http://www.gtainside.com/download.php?do=cat&id=250&start=7&orderBy=

Open the gta3.img file with this tool and look for the files you want 
to replace, the rustler.dff and the rustler.txd

file -> open -> gta3

you should find them approximately at the top of the last third.
( First comes the list of all dff-files for cars and then the list of the
according txd-files)
select the files and use

Commands -> Extract   to backup these files 

Backup your files!

After this delete the rustler.dff and the rustler.txd 

select ( left click mouse) -> then right click -> delete

Now use:
Commands -> Rebuild Archive     This process may take a few minutes

With this steps you brought the shape and the colour of the 
"Snowspeeder" ingame which means you could play it yet.
But to guarantee you more fun while playing you should also adjust
the models handling.
You can do this by opening the handling.cfg of your installation index

Rockstar Games -> Grand Theft Auto San Andreas -> data -> handling

e.g. with your Editor

Don't forget to backup this file!!

Now find and replace the following lines:

RUSTLER      5000.0   27083.3   31.0   0.0 0.0  0.0  75  0.65 0.9  0.5  	1 200.0 16.0 5.0  4 P 	4.5   0.45 0 45.0  	2.0  0.15  0.0   0.50 -0.20 0.5  0.0		0.30 0.01  45000 	4008108		400020		0  1	14

$	RUSTLER		2.9		0.55 	-0.0010  0.004	 0.10	0.002	-0.004	0.0002	0.0020	0.008	0.10	0.2	 1.2  0.2		1.0		0.998	0.998	0.990		10.0	20.0	0.0

save and close the Editor

If you have problems with this step you can as well replace the whole
handling.cfg file of your installation index with the one of this download.

The last step is not really necessary since it only effects
that the name "rustler" appearing on your screen when entering 
the Snowspeeder ist changed into "T-47 Snowspeeder"

for this replace the american.gxt file in your installation index
through the one given in this download

Rockstar Games -> Grand Theft Auto San Andreas -> text

Done!

Afterword:

I hope that you will like this model as much as I do. And when
playing San Andreas makes more fun for you now or makes fun again
it has fully accomplished its purpose.

Note: You have hereby the permission to host or publish these files
      whereas you like as long as you keep all the files 
      together and provide them as one download.

( This download includes the finished z3d-file. To show the textures 
together with the model while running the Zmod2 you have to export all 
textures from the rustler.txd file to bmp files and add these files to 
each material with the same name in the material editor.
By exporting:   file -> Export.. -> ( type of file) GTA San Andreas.DFF(*.dff) 
                ( name) rustler.dff 
you can always create a new playable rustler.dff file. )
