GTA SA High Detail Arwing mod


This readme assumes you have soem workign knowledge of modding GTA SA and it's files.




This mod replaces the Hydra with a High detailed Arwing model I found online that was made by gamios.

You can download the model itself from here:

The download link in the upper right conner of that link's page is for the model files.


HOW TO INSTRALL

If you're using the older version of GTA SA (v1, aka still has the "Hot Coffee" files in it)

Just use an IMG editor to replace the files hydra.dff and hydra.txd in your gta3.img file with the ones in this mod.



If you have the v2 version of SA, then either add the hydra mod files to your existing mod IMG file, or create a new IMG file and add the mod files and edit your gta.dat file to point to the IMG file you made, (For example, you'd add "IMG MODELS\HYDRAMOD.IMG" right after "IMG MODELS\CARMODS.IMG" in gta.dat.
(it's just a text file that tells the game to load some game files files.)
and edit the gta3,img file by renaming the two hydra files inside it.   I'd suggest renaming them to hydradff.old and hydratxd.old


I have also included the modified handling values for this.  Just copy and paste them into the HYDRA secion of your handling.cfg file.
Remember to make a back of it first!


Be warned that if you've played a lot of the older Starfox games, this MIGHT make controlling the arwing difficult as you MIGHT think you're playing Starfox and forget SA's controls.  



Finally, you do NOT need my permission to modify or distribute this mod, and credit is nice but not necessary.
