  1. Here's where I come in: :P

    I've tried to do the exact same thing. I've isolated my problem, but it may not be the same as yours.

    My problem lies within date.cs in my BTTF mod. With date.cs in the CLEO folder, my SA experiences an extreme lag. However, if date.cs is removed from the CLEO folder, there is no lag. If date.cs is split up in any fashion, the game crashes. I've made 2 GTA Forums topics about this and none have provided me with an alternative (except dual booting Windows 7).

    Here are the GTAForums topics I made, just for reference, although they will probably be of no help.

    Its weird that my NFS MW mod works just fine with the same types of opcodes in the init script (audiostream). I just run the exe in Win 7 Compatibility mode.

    I have not tried the newest CLEO 4, since I've read that it has bugs and has been neglected over the past 6 months.

    Sorry about this inconclusive response. I thought it would be informative to post my findings so far.

  2. ZMod is a complicated program that cannot be explained that easily. It can break a model as easily as it can make it better.

    Here is a tutorial: http://gtaforums.com/topic/138100-getting-started-in-zmodeler/

  3. To answer your questions:

    1. That is the cheat used flag. The mod does not use this address to begin with. If you mean the opcode 05DF: then that will have to be determined by someone else.

    2. Any controls used by the game are on the keyboard. There is a mod to use a gamepad, but that would require more coding. This is a universal mod, made for people who do and don't have gamepads.

    3. When using cleo, this might be possible.

    4. This is definitely possible.

    5. You would have to think about this one. Why have an incomplete mod?

    6. Same as above.

    7. The time circuits are the core of the BTTF mod. Take those out, and the mod would be unreleaseable.

    8. This is not terrible, as you can add new entries to gxt files.

    9. INI files are at the heart of cleo mods with customizable settings. They're simple text files. Actually, one reason to use cleo is so you can get ini functionality.

    10. If you have cleo installed, you would have to have an asi loader, otherwise CLEO.asi would not function. Vice City is built with an asi loader, so you would not need to add one.

    The mod you are requesting for will only be found as a fan made mod. The mod team probably would not release a mod this incomplete. Actually, some of the features you are requesting can be made with little coding experience.

    However, Bluespace88 did release a mod that is more incomplete than 0.2f, but is simpler. It only has a delorean that time travels and flies. You might want to search for it on this forum.


  4. Yes, I think an SDK would be quite useful for mod making in GTA games :)

    I'm no good at making things like this but I think it could be a great tool, if you are talking about, what I think you are talking about :)

    and the possibility of a dev console like the source stuff? just a thought..

    A while back, DK22Pac released a SDK for making script hook plugins in GTA SA. You will need knowedge of C++ and visual studio, plus there is no tutorial that comes with the sdk. This SDK handles almost anything you can find in SA, though.

    Also, you might want to check out one of my topics, where I mention an Open Source Limit Adjuster for GTA III, VC, & SA made by another great coder, ThirteenAG.

  5. OK. A few things.

    I got that locomotive from PozitiVBttF. He converted it. You would need to ask him. Just don't go spamming his PM mailbox.

    Also, please refrain from posting topics that include subjects like needing a download link without doing prior research. Some of these mods can't be released without permission, so if you happen to see something like that, you're pretty much out of luck.

    Trust me, there are some mods I would like to get my hands on as well.


  6. You probably didn't set the installer file in compatibility mode for Windows XP and/or to run as administrator.

    You probably won't get any type of archive for the extracted files because this is an installer made with NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Installer). The installer uses a compression format that cannot be extracted in other ways than running the installer.
