I already said that (1st post). SCM mods, at least the 2 I tried, are working. But the .IMG mod, required for vehicle import, causes the game to lock-up. I have no idea if external hacking stuff works or not (trainers etc.) cuz I haven't tried that yet. But I can tell you for sure that the normal procedure to import cars isn't working. And I'm pretty sure I'm doing it the right way. Yes, I have read up on how to import vehicles and operate the tools like SAMI and IMGTOOL. PS: I'm no noob. Those familiar with the battlefield modding community (bf1942, BF2) should instantly reconnize my name.

Another myth for Snopes.com. Amazing how gullible some people are.

oh snap! Looks like I'll go searching for a V1 edition instead. Yeah, I know it's not on the shelves so I'll have to go looking for a pirated copy. Yeah yeah... piracy is bad. I figure I already paid for a legal copy (2nd edition) so they got my money. I just want to have the mods. And I don't give a flying F**K about the hot coffee mod. That's not why I purchased the game; I knew it was going to be removed but I didn't expect them to block off all the other cool mods. All I want is those cool downloadable cars!!!

I'll try that tonight when I get home. I did a bit more researching on this topic, yes ... it's a slow day at the office, and I may have some bad news. It seems .IMG file modding is blocked off in the 2nd Edition. PlanetGTA thread: http://www.forumplanet.com/planetgrandthef...329&tid=1751595 Let me quote what Mercenary had to say: If this is indeed the case, you may want to sticky this so other 2nd edition players know they can't mod the .IMG files and add the cool cars,planes,helis,boats etc.

2004-2005 Acura TL A-Spec. It could replace one of the Sedans in the game. Specs are: 270HP V6 Fwd Why request this one? Well, two reasons: 1 - I own one. Well, it's a non A-spec but the A-Spec looks better with the body kit. 2 - Far too many exotic requests. Having nothing but exotic cars all over SA isn't going to be all that fun. There needs to be a good mix of different types of cars And if needed I can help fine-tune the handling to be more real-life like, since I own one. Just for reference, this is the non A-Spec TL. The one I own.

I've got the San Andreas 2nd edition (the re-release without the hot coffee) and there's a problem with mods relating to .IMG files. I tried installing a few new cars (enzo, McLaren F1, M3) and any changes to the GTA3.IMG file causes the game to freeze halfway through the loading bar when starting a new game. I used IMG tool to replace the .DFF and .TXD files. Example, the Enzo replaces the Euros. After I recompile the file, which takes several minutes, all is fine until I try to run the game. The game starts up just fine and goes to the menu. When I try to start a new game or load a saved game the load screen comes up and the loading bar freezes halfway through the load process. The music is still running but I can't even shut the game down. I have to power off the PC manually. I also tried it with SAMI and I get the same results. The changes to the other files, like Handling.cfg are fine. I simply restore the GTA3.IMG file from my backup and leave the other modded files as-is (modded state) and the game works just fine. Also, certain .SCM files work and others don't. I forget which one it is, but the one that unlocks San Fiero and Las Venturas works just fine. Another similar one which enables everything (girlfriend in Las Santos, missions completed, gangwar mode) works ok for 30mins-1Hr and then simply crashes to desktop. Again, keep in mind this is the latest release. The second edition of SA that was just recently put back onto store shelves. The one where the Hot coffee stuff was removed. I'd really love to get those beautiful car models (Enzo, M3 etc.) into SA. Anybody have a work around or even knows why this is happening at all? Thanks
