Noob-friendly custom models replacement script, simple to us

[Puma]

Ohai,

This is a ready-to-use, very clear script for the people that want to include custom models/txd's in their maps/resources, but don't know how to make a script that does so. Download is at the bottom of this post, the script itself can be seen by clicking this link:

http://pastebin.com/syrDhns0

Just save the script (see attachments of this post) in the folder of a resource (map, for example), change the content a bit (info about how to do so, is writtin in the script) and add the script in the "meta.xml", located in the folder of that resource, by adding this line in "meta.xml":

Don't forget to add the .dff-, .txd- and .col-files in "meta.xml", otherwise the script won't work (see script for more info).

Download available from my site (lame mta download shizzle is offline):

Hope it's useful , good luck with it.

*maybe some moderator could make this topic a sticky one?*

Also check out my multi theft auto tools site - including wizard for replacing vehicles textures and models, mass elements mover.. and it's all for know. If you have any ideas what else can I do -tell me.

As you can add extra information to the meta.xml, perhaps you could use that to specify the replacements?

[dzek (varez)]

yup, editing only meta.xml will be easier. I'll add ped and objects replacing to my site, as an alternative. ive got around 5 "uses" of my site per day, which makes it my most successful site

Lol, last time I contacted my host he told me that I had around 200 visitors a day, but it's a mistery how I succeeded in that .

I'll see about the meta.xml-thing, as I'm too lazy for it atm.

[dzek (varez)]

Idk about my visitors count as I'm not tracking it, just the resource generations per day.

You are well-known now, with your cool Mario Kart gamemode

You haven't seen anything of me yet http://www.PumaStudios.nl, got almost 500k downloads at GTAInside.de and GTAGarage together :').

[dzek (varez)]

Wow, this is so cool!

[Puma]

I'm just waiting for someone who creates the ability to replace ped models (playerskins). That'd be madness .

[Faw[Ful]]

you will give a live to mario mwou ha ha ha !!!

hey map mass mover it something that all (3/4 maybe) the game editor have to move many objects thats what MTA map editor need !

[Puma]

Yeah well it'd be great if you could select multiple elements (markers, objects, vehicles, spawnpoints, pickups) while holding CTRL for example, like selecting files or icons in a folder using Windows Explorer or on your desktop. And then use CTRL+A to select all elements at once.

[dzek (varez)]

hmm, i think moving 1000 elements will kill your pc. moving it once is not a problem, but moving it smoothly with your mouse? omg
