Installion of Ultimate GTAIII Mod

V1 Of the ultimate GTAIII Mod is now completed. You can download it from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNIJU336

The mod has the full game installed, so you just extract and play. However, you must have your GTA 3 Disc, or you won't be able to play the mod.

Installing the mod is very simple, just download and extract the .RAR And play. Simple? But you have to be aware of some things. Here are some detailed instructions on installing.

Loading save games

Download the mod and extract the .RAR, Then run gta3.exe inside the ultimate GTA 3 Mod folder. Now when you are on the menu, click start game, start new game. Don't click load game and load a save, as it won't work. Because of the modded main.scm, you can't load old save games that use an orginal main.scm or a different one to the one in my mod.

If you do load a save game, when it gets on the splash screen, the game will crash and you will hear the windows error sound.

You can still load save games in my mod. After starting a new game, after first mission, save the game, and try loading it in my mod. It will work. However you can't load that save if you have a different main.scm.

White cars

When you run the mod for the first time, you may get a message like "Converting textures". If you see this message the cars will be white. What happens is it deletes all my textures and puts the orginal GTA3 One's. If this happens, open the .RAR File for my mod, extract models folder in the same folder as the one with the messed up textures and play. If you see no converting textures message it will be fine. If you do, you will have white cars, just do the same thing by extracting models folder.

Lagging

You need a powerful PC To play this mod smoothly. For example, playing normal GTA3 Does not need a very powerful PC, But playing this mod will. Because of the new files, they are bigger and cause slow down.

I would suggest you have at least these system specs or higher

512MB RAM
1.5 GHZ Processor
Nvidia or ATI Graphic's card (at least 64MB)

If your PC Only has like 256 RAM, Then the mod may be laggy for you. You can try lowering the display, use resolution 640*480*16 and lowering draw distance and turn off frame limiter.
