[4ioshack]

where do i look for the modded car after i finish with the steps

[peterk115]

where do you get the other car files?

[himynameisjak]

hey man great video, wondering if you can help me though, been tryin 2 add mods for a while now and i've literally been doing everything like you have in the video, but when i come to run the game its still the same, ive tried to replace the kumra with the batmoblie and also the cop cars to lambo cop cars but nothings changed, also confused at how if i've deleted the kumra file it is still there in the game?

[techhead122]

@thetecherra thanks

[techhead122]

does this void your warranty.



[thetecherra]

@techhead122 No...

[zreskhater]

it worked with a lambo i downloaded thanks a lot man

[YayeBal]

Is the wheelmod (DmagicWheelMod) work on it? I mean wheels of Alfa looks "defolt" (from game).

[menel321]

mine stuck on loading screen. iPhone 4S

[thetecherra]

@gammaaification You HAVE to replace a car that's already there.

[matthewbroker]

Cool thx bro

[gammaaification]

Do you have to replace a car or can you just add one

[danieltheclonetv]

where do you get gta_pvr.img

[thetecherra]

@danieltheclonetv From your copy of the game...

[danieltheclonetv]

@thetecherra no but how?

[danieltheclonetv]

@thetecherra yea but exactly where and how do you put it in img tool

[thetecherra]

@danieltheclonetv I can't answer that. Figure it out yourself.

[Mexicano321321]

where did you download the other cars



[thetecherra]

@Mexicano321321 From the Internet.

[gruenerpullover13]

If i do this my GTA 3 crashed at the loading Screen -.-

[MrMerrymouse1]

Ok so I tried the car mod and it worked but I don't see any of the cars roaming thaw streets, the only place I see them is when they are parked in their normal spots ie: Portland docks, tony ciprianis place

[MrMerrymouse1]

Do YOU know how to do that?

[MrMerrymouse1]

I know that I just wondering what u use to edit it ie: hex editor, IMG tool what do i use

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 The file itself can be edited with any standard text editor, like Notepad.

[MrMerrymouse1]

Do ya know how to mod the car handling?

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 Edit vehicles.col (or whatever it's called).

[yamhamdan]

@thetecherra It's usually handling.dat on PC, vehicles.col is the collisions, to stop you walking through the object.

[MrMerrymouse1]

I figured it out I had to download winRAR to get it opened

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 There. Was that so hard?

[MrMerrymouse1]

The paper is right next to there name

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 Maybe you should try using Google those questions instead of filling my comments area with your nonsense.

[MrMerrymouse1]

Listen....the RAR Files have a little paper with the folded edge just like the DFF and TXD pls explain

[MrMerrymouse1]

Also one more thing....only use the gta_pvr file if ur device has an A5 processor if ur device has A4 processor use a file by the name of OLD_VEH

[MrMerrymouse1]

@thetecherra well I have not can u help me out email me the help jake.schmidt6299@gmail.com

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 No, I won't. You have access to Google. Use that instead.

[MrMerrymouse1]

It doesnt open it just is one file....there are no TXD or DFF files that come with it

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 You must not have ever dealt with RAR files before.

[MrMerrymouse1]

RAR file isn't a folder it comes with one file which is a RAR file...there r no TXD or DFF files

[MrMerrymouse1]

But thx

[MrMerrymouse1]

O... It worked I feel stupid

[MrMerrymouse1]

How do u mod it when there is only a RAR file that comes from the download

[thetecherra]

@MrMerrymouse1 Open the RAR file...

[TheSuckv]

Wait can u still do it if u have ur iPod jailbreak

[thetecherra]

@TheSuckv Yes.

[TheSuckv]

Thx u bro

[Pimmie152]

Hmmm, I cant drag and drop the files back into iExplore???? Please help me!!

[yohanfernando1]

where is the gta pr img where

[thetecherra]

@yohanfernando1 On your computer and iOS device.

[stickdudeshooter]

im just wondering would gta sa/vc mods work with gta 3 becasue they are both the same engine and filesystem?

[thetecherra]

@stickdudeshooter Possibly. You can be everybody's guinea pig :).

[stickdudeshooter]

@thetecherra OK I confirmed that GTA SA/VC mods dont work. makes the game crash instantly when you load the game

[yamhamdan]

@stickdudeshooter Sa mods won't but VC mods will. SA has a modified engine but VC just has new maps and cars. :) Hope this helped. also visit gtainside for mods

[YayeBal]

@stickdudeshooter you can try take mods for VC and compress TXD (with TXD workshop for example )to GTA3 standart. It works for PC. SA mods wouldn't work, because they have different DFF structure.

[LilSiimy]

hey, i really like the game, and i also wanted to mod the ambulance, so it has the weight 49999, but always when I change sth in the handling.cfg then it keeps crashing when I try to load the game (also when i undo my changes). Any idea why? thx

[minecraftnic1010]

@thetecherra

Ya same here sadly

[minecraftnic1010]

Ok do I sent you a comment recently and u replied u need at find a 100% save file... Sooo I was wondering if u could just send me urs... All I really want is a save that has all islands unlocked

[thetecherra]

@minecraftnic1010 I've barely played the game.

[tohottie24]

Some car mod files only have an auto-install, how do do I install it to the iPhone, it says GTA path not found.

[thetecherra]

@tohottie24 Find a way to install them manually or get a different mod.

[Josue142011]

Can u find a plain mod? Pleas!

[tohottie24]

@thetecherra okay, I actually did figure it out, also wondering where I can find a money and all weapons mod. I

[tecnologyreviews]

Thank you ver much, I will try this, t seem pretty easy

[tohottie24]

Damn it, I did everything in the video, Im not seeing the new car, do i Have to start a whole new game, cuz im drivin around and i can't seem to find it, I also tried to do the batmobile, does anyone know how to mod cars easily???? Help, cause Im basically done with the game and just one to have fun moding things now.

[thetecherra]

@tohottie24 If you're not on an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, then you'll need to edit old_veh.img instead of the other file.

[SyllyNL]

@thetecherra one last question

when I download a car, i get cheetah.dff / cheetah.txd

can I rename it to karuma.dff (or another car) and does it work than?

[thetecherra]

@SyllyNL Some have said that yes, that should work just fine.

[SyllyNL]

@thetecherra I just can't find the gta3_pvr.img file

I read on the website that I need to extract the .ipa file using WinRAR, but where can I find the .ipa file (you do not show this in the video)

[thetecherra]

@SyllyNL It can be found in iTunes. Look it up.

[SyllyNL]

@SyllyNL finally got in thanks

[minecraftnic1010]

Ok so I love driving recklessly around the city but I don't want to do the missions to unlock the other islands... Is there a way past this?

[thetecherra]

@minecraftnic1010 You'll have to find a 100% save file and replace yours with those.

[wam226]

IF YOU ARE USING THE IPHONE 4, MOD THE oldveh_pvr.img & oldveh_pvr.dir ALONG WITH gta3_pvr.img & gta3_pvr.dir FOR THE MODS TO APPEAR

[IceColdCholo]

@bbyboo33 Can you tell me how to mod using ifile? Please?

[thetecherra]

@IceColdCholo You can't. Nothing for iOS can open a .img file.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra Thanks for the tutorial!

[IceColdCholo]

TIP!

If you use a keyboard, you can type in PC cheats. Just type them in, and they'll work!!

TIP!

[thetecherra]

@IceColdCholo Didn't work for me and my Bluetooth keyboards.

[IceColdCholo]

@thetecherra They did on mine :(. gunsgunsguns gave me all I need to cause mayhem.

[thetecherra]

@IceColdCholo Didn't work for me at all.

[tohottie24]

@IceColdCholo Hey, which mod will give me all the weapons, and if you don't mind, how exactly did you do all this, i've tried but haven't gone all the way through it, what about the money too? thanks

[IceColdCholo]

Do you have to start a new game for the changes to take effect? I'm not really far into it, I'm just asking. Got it today!

[kylethemerczilla]

This tut fails he assumes to much.

[thetecherra]

@kylethemerczilla Sorry, but I don't cater to complete noobs such as yourself.

[flowersandspikes1]

hey does this not work for the ipod touch 4 then? ive tried it several times and still no change :(

[flowersandspikes1]

@flowersandspikes1 ive figured it out, for ipod touch 4 users do the same as here but instead of using the gta3_pvr.img & gta3_pvr.dir, use the files oldveh_pvr.img & oldveh_pvr.dir. like so people can see please ^^^

[HeroAgainstOdds]

@flowersandspikes1 Thank you soo much dude

[TheXXBRADXx]

how do i drag the files out of i explorer??

[crankthatjay]

This does work on the iPhone 4s for those who thinks that it doesn't i have about 12 + cars plus a snow mod GL To all who try

[SWIZZKILLS]

Does this work with ios 5.0.1

[thetecherra]

@SWIZZKILLS Yes.

[bbyboo33]

ifile is easy to use people

[brownvim]

Iv added these cars on my iPhone 4S 1 Esperant = Aston Martin Vanquish 2 Cheetah = Porsche Carrera GT 3 Banshee = Mini Cooper S 4 Manana = Audi TT 5 Sentinel = BMW 760Li E65 6 Infernus = Lambo Diablo 7 Stinger = Ferrari F50 done all the hard work like the handling and wheels mod so you can just download and replace the files on IOS, only works on iPhone 4s and iPad 2 (A5 devices). Peace! @brownvim

[DiegoR189]

this dosen't seem to work on iphone 4s. it dose not finish rebuilding i get a pop up with a X and reads. Read beyond file. I used the same Alfa Romeo mod file used and provided in the discription. followed every thing in the video and discription. this is my first time with mod so there might be something i missed running ios 5.0.1 what am i doing wrong

[thisistapping]

Hm IMG TOOL worked for Vice City on PC but when i open the img it says 0 files but 1 archive loaded....

[cuteears22]

hey i get an error :/

[molowGTA]

your a fucking genios dude.. AWESOME!

[crankthatjay]

Thnx Mate awesome tut

[SyllyNL]

@thetecherra How do I get the gta3_pvr.img out of my iDevice in another folder?

[thetecherra]

@SyllyNL Did you not watch the video at all?

[skatelee100]

where do you get th old_veh.img stuff

[thetecherra]

@skatelee100 It's in your game.

[RickS890]

it doesn't work in my game it changes nothing

[thetecherra]

@RickS890 If you're on a non-A5 device, you'll want to use old_veh.img instead.

[Pseikoh]

@thetecherra Thanks for clearing the old_veh.img stuff

i have a normal iPhone4 and was wondering why there would be two .img sources with cars and stuff

[xDeadMarkedx]

Hmm they don't work for the gta place if anyone has some really cool car mods please send them to me x.x

[deFATpanda]

can you customize characters too

[cashmoneyboi]

i may have missed it but where did u get the .img file??

[thetecherra]

@cashmoneyboi Comes with your copy of GTA 3. It was explained in the video and tutorial.

[cashmoneyboi]

@thetecherra like i said i may have missed it...i found it but its in a zip file and when i try to open it it says " Error: internal error processing iso image". any clue what that means?

[thetecherra]

@cashmoneyboi You're not supposed to open the .img...

[cashmoneyboi]

@thetecherra i know it may be frustrating cuz you explained all this in the video but this is my first time trying to mod thanks for hangin in there with me :) 

[ShinyTelecast]

Is there a limit to how much mods we can have installed at one time?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast Nobody has really tried to install a lot of mods, so we don't really know. Try it out and experiment a little bit.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra Thanks, I was able to get four vehicle mods on the ipad 2 before the game got glitchy (map loads slower, import/export garage door doesn't open/isn't solid).

[philipweiss437]

doesn't work for me :/ i have the same car as before, even after 5 tries... iPhone 4 5.0.1 jailed

[thetecherra]

@philipweiss437 You may want to try putting the cars in old_veh.pvr.img (or whatever that file is called).

[philipweiss437]

@thetecherra thanks alot, it's working now.

[MuunNuttall]

Is there a mod for infinite health ??

[thedonflyer]

Thank you , I followed your tutorial and I.managed to mod ten cars on my iPhone 4s, 

[ShinyTelecast]

If I want to revert to the original version after applying the mods, how would I do that? Also, will updating the app affect the mods in any way?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast That's why you have the original files already one your device (the .bak).

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra So to revert to the original version, do I just delete the modified gta3_pvr.img and gta3_pvr.dir files and remove the .bak extension from the original files?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast Correct.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra Is there a way to use vehicle mods from GTA Vice City in GTA 3?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast Possibly.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra Does a specific mod have to go with a specific car, or can I choose any car?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast Yes, all vehicle mods replace a specific car in the game. For example, the Alfa Romeo replaces the Kuruma.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra I tried using a Gta 3/Vice city mod, and since no car was specified, or rather the car it replaced was a car exclusive to vice city, I chose the Yakuza Stinger. The game loaded, and the car drives, but there is black stuff all on the car, even in the interior, which is not part of the mod. Is there a way to fix this?

[thetecherra]

@ShinyTelecast I don't know.

[ShinyTelecast]

@thetecherra I was able to use a vehicle mod on a different car than the specified one. Maybe some mods can be for multiple cars?

[funnystuffgreat]

@ShinyTelecast yes.

[brooksapollocommand1]

Can you just link us to the mods that are compatible none of the ones that i've tried are.

[thetecherra]

@brooksapollocommand1 There's a link to the Alfa Romeo that's in the link in the description.

[brooksapollocommand1]

@thetecherra Yeah thank you a lot for that one lol but i meant some others..

[iPhoneiPadReviews]

Please check out this cheat

/watch?v=_nciT8iOviE

[brooksapollocommand1]

@iPhoneiPadReviews I did the bat mod really makes killing easier. >:D Thanks.

[iPhoneiPadReviews]

@brooksapollocommand1 No problem! Thanks for subscribing :)

[TundraTress]

You deserve a cookie.. -_-

[MacintoshTechnology]

You deserve a hug...Your too far so how about a subscribe?

[DvT093]

Have you found a way to enable cheats?

[RuBeNRaCeR101]

If there were a cydia app for this it would be much easier

[thetecherra]

@RuBeNRaCeR101 That defeats the purpose of the "without a jailbreak" part. Ask the developer of IMG Tool to make an iOS version.

[shipo234]

This just made my GTA 3 stop loading... it finishes 3/4 of the bar, then randomly stops....

[thetecherra]

@shipo234 That means that the mods are incompatible or installed incorrectly.

[IGTAHEROES]

Ну началось !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ура, мододелы и для айфониии!

[xTGTeam]

hey the cars wont work i did EXACLTY wat u said, and i started a new game to see the car and bam it was still the same

[xTGTeam]

I changed the character to superman :D

[Iphone4Tester]

Thanks :)

[shipo234]

Theres no gta3_pvr.img in my mods...

[thetecherra]

@shipo234 It's in the files for the game, not a mod...

[blakegriplingph]

Does it affect the game's performance?

[thetecherra]

@blakegriplingph Not too sure... I still haven't had time to really play this for more than 30 seconds. Still, I wouldn't be able to answer that, since when I will play this game, it'll be with a bunch of mods, so I won't know the performance of the game without them.

[tigerboy1227]

is it possible if you went in depth more with modding that you could put vice city on it? atleast the map of vice city?

[thetecherra]

@tigerboy1227 Message me a link to a mod and I'll try it.

[mailgnih]

Hey, I done these mods easily 10 minutes after it was released :P. My question is was you able to change the character skin? I found 'player.bmp' which is the default skin but when I replace it it doesn't change.

[JordiF1racing]

@thetecherra Hi i'm Jordirexman from the comments. Maybe its smarter that i make (or you) make a sepparate tutorial for the older (a4) devices. we can explain it 1000 times but still i see doesnt work for my A4 devices.

PEOPLE GO TO THE FORUM IF YOU HAVE AN A4 DEVICE AND READ THE COMMENTS. IT EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO SOLVE IT.

Greetz. Jordi

[Evanz111]

Are there Cheat Codes in this game?

[thetecherra]

@Evanz111 We're not sure yet.

[iOSGamerZone]

Scratch that, doesnt work on my ipod touch 4g

[thetecherra]

@iOSGamerZone Read the comments for that tutorial. Someone said that for non-A5 devices, you'll need to open OLD_VEH.img instead of gta3_pvr.img.

[iOSGamerZone]

I was just about to do this, i was hoping that somebody else saw the img files too :)

[iDeviceProJailbreakr]

How you get the img file and the dir file?

[AHTUNGERSAN]

@iDeviceProJailbreakr its placed in your downloaded cache.

[thetecherra]

@iDeviceProJailbreakr They're in the .ipa. Read the tutorial on how to get it.

[chukwuka13]

@thetecherra were's the tutorial

[thetecherra]

@chukwuka13 In the description........

[JordiF1racing]

Doesnt work for me using iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.0.1
