Looks great, am a bit worried about getting lag which I get a little of when there are lots of vehicles around... (//confuse.gif)??:
which files came with the mod
You mean Mafia Trees Project Mod ?
Yeah, i think he does
Hmmm, inside this mod there are just BMP files (Maps folder) and 4DS files (Models folder) - they're responsible for changing colours of trees.
Yeah, if he just had the original files of the ones overwritten, it SHOULD be back to normal... right?
I think that you don't need to extract all Maps and Models. It's enough to copy these files into proper folders.
To remove it, just delete these files from Maps and Models folder. I actually didn't play this mod, so I don't really know how it acts.
Surely if you delete them.. nothing would appear?
Nothing from this mod, I think :cool:
i would have thought the trees in the mod would replace the old ones... so if you delete them there would be no trees?
It does, but I think that it's like replacing cars - when you delete their files, in game you will see original cars. Same with the trees - after deleting, you will see original trees I guess. But no way for the trees to be removed.
yeah but in the tree mod it overwrites the original, so when deleted there wouldnt be a file, so thered be an empty space
Not exactly. You see, in the main folder there are files called AA.dta, AB.dta and so on. In these DTA files there are stored original files, so that when there's not any file replaced, the game reads the original content from these files exactly.
Really? wow ive learnt something today <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue.png" alt="(//tongue.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
so ive been pointlessly trying to get originial files when i could just delete them... wow
I'm glad I helped you <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Im glad you helped me haha :cool:
question though will it put the file back into the folder? so you can mod it again/
You can extract DTA files anytime you want and content inside these files will never be changed, so you can extract them and mod again.
Ahhh.. ok thanks mate
Well, unzipped the files into the required folders and with 6 trees in the distance it was pretty laggy :whistle: so I guess trips to the dam are out of the question.
Then I restored the backed up folders and all back to normal.
Thanks for the input chaps!
PS: Just a thought, I guess I should run the Xtractor again so I'm ready for the next bit of fiddling abaht?
Yes, delete all the folders (back up any mods first as you will lose them) and then run it again <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
