How to install the mod:

If you are doing a traditional installation, you will need to replace the vcnmav.dff and txd that are inside the GTA3.img file that is in the MODELS folder within your game directory, aditionally, you will need to replace the collision using Col Editor, remove and add the vcnmav.col that comes in this download and included it into the vehicles.col file that is inside the MODELS/COLL folder

Then you'll have to change the color values, opening the carcols.dat file, found in the DATA folder, search for the vcnmav line, and add this value.

vcnmav, 27,1


In case you are using Modloader, the process is much easier, you could drop the download in a folder, but be careful with the collision as It might need the same treatment as a traditional installation. Also there is an additional file called vcnmav.fxt that you can drop within the modloader folder contains, which allows the game to show the "Coastguard Maverick" name on screen. In case you are doing a traditional installation, use a GXT Editor to change the name entry in Text/american.gxt but make sure to backup everything.
