1 WHAT IS THE MOD?

The mod is a conversion of Capuchin from Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Both the model and the texture are original, taken directly from the game. I did the ripping myself and made sure to assemble the vehicle according to the original parts arrangement seen in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Originally, in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, the truck was able to carry five soldiers in the back. In GTA San Andreas, it is possible to carry only two soldiers in the back. In total, the truck carries four people: a driver, a cabin passenger and two passengers in the back.

Apparently, the model was inspired by the real-life M35A3 truck.



2 HOW TO INSTALL THE MOD?

The process is as follows:

1. Open Alci's IMG Editor (or another Img edit program);

2. Open gta3.img (with the program mentioned above);

3. Click on "Import (remove if exists)";

4. Select "barracks.dff" and "barracks.txd" (my mod);

5. When both "barracks.dff" and "barracks.txd" are already inside gta3.img, click "Save".


For the truck wheels to be in normal size, place the "vehicles.ide" file in the "data" folder which is located in your GTA San Andreas directory. Briefly, the process is as follows:

1. Enter the "data" folder which is located in the directory (main folder) of your GTA San Andreas;

2. Delete the file "vehicles.ide" or move it somewhere (if you want to keep it as a backup);

3. Extract the "vehicles.ide" file that is in the "Import to data" folder (my mod);

4. Move the file "vehicles.ide" to the folder "data" which is located in the directory (main folder) of your GTA San Andreas.


If you have Mod Loader and don't want to replace the "vehicles.ide" file, place the "Capuchin" folder inside the "modloader" folder. This will ensure the wheels are the correct size. In short, the process is as follows:

1. Extract the "Capuchin" folder from the "Import to modloader" folder (my mod);

2. Move the "Capuchin" folder to the "modloader" folder, which is located in the main folder of your GTA San Andreas.



3 NOTES

The model has realistic collision.

The headlights and taillights work.

The doors open and close in the same way as seen in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

The bonnet of the truck opens and closes.

The bumper is destructible.

The detailed interior has been preserved.

CJ is perfectly positioned in the cab.

The truck entry animation is the same for all vehicle occupants. Also, the passengers in the back are seated in the air and facing forward, as the truck does not originally have seats in the back and I don't know how to make CLEO mods for the passengers to face sideways.

Passengers in the back can shoot enemies.

The model has perfect stability and agility on any terrain.

I would like to thank you for downloading my mod. If you are a fan of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames or have already played it, i hope you have fun and relive nostalgic moments of the game. If you are not a fan or have not yet played, in the same way, i hope you have fun with this addition to your GTA SA, causing chaos and among other things hehe.

If you have any questions, suggestions or comments about this or other mods of mine, please comment in the comments section on the page where you downloaded this mod or send me a private message (on GTAinside); i will be happy to answer. If you wish, too, rate the mod on the site.



Best regards,
