Update

Since I've learnt something new today I decided to update this thread. I'll add my discovery to the Details sections as well.

- GTA SA uses a more complex collision type (type 3) thus before you import your object in VC:MP you need to adjust the collision type to the one compatible with GTA VC and III (type 1). You can do it by opening your object collision file with Coll Editor II, right-clicking on it and then selecting Target Version and Col 1, save it and you're good to go.

.

Props to you, NoodlePunk!

Thank you

[Introduction]

Introduction

Since I often get asked on the procedure on how to import objects from other GTAs, I thought I will post a tutorial that hopefully makes it clear for everyone. It's no rocket science, it just takes some time and patience. I'll list below the tools I personally use, you can of course use others if you prefer. With that being said let's move on the actual stuff.

Tools:

- MEd there are other map editors out there but this is newer and better than Moo Mapper and KEd
- Collision File Editor II Again I recommend this over the older CollEditor or Col - IO

Steps:

Part I - Retrieving the needed files

• Open MEd, load the IPL files from Scene tab and double click on the object you want to export

• Use right click on the object and select Properties

- This will provide the name of the model and texture in this case dinerind.dff and newbuildind.txd respectively.

• Click Browse... next to Model Name, right-click the model you need and extract it. Repeat the exact same procedure for the texture file

• In the Item Definition window you've seen before, click on the Col icon

- This will show you the collision name and in which file you're going to find it. In this case the name is dinerind located inside INDUSTSW.col file.

• Move to your GTA III folder and open data->maps->industsw, there you'll find industSW.col. Open it in CollEditor II

• Locate the file you need, in this case dinerind, right-click on the name, hover on to Export and select Combined Collision File... to export it

Now that we have a model, a texture and a collision file. Let's move on the next section.

Part II - Importing it to VC:MP

• Create a 7-Zip archive with those 3 files, give it any name and attach '_unp' as suffix, then drop it inside your server store folder

- I chose to name mine dinerind_unp.7z

• Open your objects.xml file, located inside store->objects folder. There you need to define the characteristics for your object, including:

- the ID that you assign to it within VC:MP
- the model name and its draw distance
- the texture name
- the collision name
- the flag values, which I'll explain in the next section

• If everything is done correctly it should look like the following:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<objectlist>
<object id="0">
<model path="dinerind.dff" distance="300" />
<texture path="newbuildind.txd" />
<collision path="dinerind.col" />
<flags value="0" />
</object>
</objectlist>


And that's done!! Those were all the essentials. The subsequent section focuses instead on minor facts you might need to know.

Part III - Details

• Object flags will influence object's behaviour a bit, but for the average object you can just leave them 0, I'll attach their description below

• Object ID 0 in objects.xml translates to 6000 within VC:MP usage

• To spawn the object in Vice City now you either need to make use of the XML maps or CreateObject function

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII" ?>
<itemlist>
<item model="6000" name="dinerind">
<position x="0" y="0" z="0" />
<rotation format="axisangle" x="0" y="0" z="0" angle="0" />
</item>
</itemlist>


- This is an example of how the XML file could look like

• Setting draw distance to anything higher than 300m will have the effect of not rendering the collision. This is due to the game considering such objects low polygons models, thus not loading their collision to reduce load on performance

• GTA 3 objects and in particular its interiors, need to have back-face culling disabled otherwise they won't display correctly

• GTA SA uses a more complex collision type (type 3) thus before you import your object in VC:MP you need to adjust the collision type to the one compatible with GTA VC and III (type 1). You can do it by opening your object collision file with Coll Editor II, right-clicking on it and then selecting Target Version and Col 1, save it and you're good to go.

And that's now really all. I hope it helped and thank you for reading! [/list]

[/setconfig game_showdebug 1]

Bump, this is brilliant. I can't seem to work it though, getting invalid definition in objects.xml upon connecting to my server.

I've just retested it after years and it worked fine on my end. Try using /setconfig game_showdebug 1 and joining the server, it should probably tell you what the error is.

EDIT: I'm not very active here anymore, it was by chance that I stumbled across your post in time. If you need further and more prompt help perhaps bug me on LW's Discord server

Is it doing it in a server version 04rel006?
it only works for that version I guess

This is correct, since it was a client update I thought it would work on any version but apparently I was wrong. Thanks kennedyarz, solved and locked.

Testing this new setting, I've got the message telling me the value applied, but no visible effect. F9 key neither has effect nor I get any message at all.

What you were doing when the bug happened
I tried setting 2,147,483,647 as cash and noticed the hud shows just 999,999,999, if however I were to set the same amount + 1 (and thus beyond the limit) it will shows all the figures including the minus. Despite the hud, getting the cash from the player showed the correct amount I've set.

What you think caused the bug
Perhaps default game behaviour, since it's unlikely anybody would ever reach such amount.

EDIT: Not sure why the image can't be enlarged directly, so please use right click -> Open image in a new tab to read.

I had the exact same issue. Get the DDraw component from this page and put it in your game folder, works like a charm

https://gtaforums.com/topic/669045-silentpatch/

Clicky!

Download this file and put it in your game folder, It will fix the following error:

GTA III/GTA VC DDraw Component: (last update: 29.06.2015)

Cannot find enough available video memory error showing on some computers has been removed

...

You need to paste that code in a file and name that file objects.xml, then place that file inside store/objects/ subfolder of your server.

A simple billboard that can be used as a base for any image to be added in game, the ratio is roughly 3:1 make sure your image matches that ratio, else stretching can occur.
If you want to use your own image, replace the one inside the TXD file and save. To view the TXD file you can use any of these programs below:

Magic TXD (recommended)
TXD Workshop 5.0
