Changing the tram

[matt1314]

Hi everyone.

I wanted to ask you, if it's possible to drive the new tram made by MNS-Creations, like the Trolly made by HummersRock. So is it possible to edit it to drive with it, like with the HummersRock one?

Thanks in advance.

[Riva]

Sure. Like the traffic and cops cars, you can edit these one to play with them as selected cars.

[matt1314]

Yes, but how?

[Tonywolfe121]

ARH just as you make a regular car just us the tram or whatever as the 3d model instead of the (insert car name here)'s model

[Franch88]

Of course is possible, you have to get the 3D model of that tram and make it as player car.
I remember that the .ar file of that mod is locked, so you've to get it in another way or directly from GTA SA.

[matt1314]

Thanks for topic moving. Well, I haven't GTA SA, so I can't get it directly from there. Maybe I could PM Maks12 or VW-Tuner-Oburg to get the 3D Model.

[Riva]

Export both folders of the Maks mod then with ZM 1.05 final import the PKG (from the GEOMETRY folder) and the tram appears.

[matt1314]

Do you mean maybe "Extract" the both folders? I know, how to import them, but all kinds of other files, like the BOUND and the other stuff, where will it come from? And can I do this also with ZM v1.07?

[wilder]

forsure you can drive it . the *.ar file isn't locked so you can modify it . you can do the same (what riva said) with ZM 1.07 , Import pkg file in geometry , and export all and change name . YOU MUST AVOID "va_cablecar_f.pkh" name file , just rename it

[matt1314]

Thanks, but how can I drive it now? I have imported it, then exported it as a *.pkg file (I named it "cablecar.pkg"). How should I put it into the game now?

[Riva]

You must to read the Silent's tutorial to know how import a car to MM2. You must to create a BOUND folder and to take the TUNE folder of another car, then rename each name file, edit if need (like another vehicle) and use the same base name (e.g. "matt_tram_" for each files). For this kind of vehicle, you need to create simple 3D wheels but don't forget to attribute them a totally transparent textures to hide them in-game because WHLx_H:m are obligatory objects.

[matt1314]

All other things are clear (tune, aud etc.), but how do I get the BOUND file? That's the important thing I would like to know.

[Franch88]

Nice to have got it in ZModeler.

All other things are clear (tune, aud etc.), but how do I get the BOUND file? That's the important thing I would like to know.

The .bnd BOUND object file is created after the export. Just make at least a simple box that includes all the vehicle model for the BOUND object and then export the .pkg file.
Of course before you have to make the folders structure.

[matt1314]

What box should I make? How can I do it? And do you mean with the folders structure, that I have to make the folders, like "texture", "aud", "bound" etc.?

[Franch88]

What box should I make? How can I do it?

Is very easy to create a simple box in ZModeler, there's the button to make it. In the Silent1Unknown's tutorial explains without too much steps how to make a more complex BOUND object.
Anyway you can take it from another vehicle.

And do you mean with the folders structure, that I have to make the folders, like "texture", "aud", "bound" etc.?

Yeah, I mean that. The six folders for an MM2 car are called Aud, Bound, Geometry, Jpg, Texture and Tune.

Check the Silent1Unknown's tutorial in the .ar file car making steps for more.
