Depends. If you were running a downgraded v2 or v3 for Squid's mod, chances are that savefiles made there will break under this version as it includes a v1 script (something that downgraders do not cover for).

RAWR! im New so sorry if im doing this wrong, Anyways i downloaded the mod as instructed to, i have the steam version, i got a us 1.0 exe for it, i put every file into the main directory, set it to xp sp2 and made an exception for it, etc. and when i go to either load or start a new game i get a black screen and the game freezes, and i need to close it down in task manager, Any idea what im messing up? X.X

Well, if you're using Steam too, you could try removing the camerapointfix.asi and try running in Windows 98 / Windows Me compatibility. I couldn't get mine to get past New Game/Load Game until I ran in this specific compatibility, and then I had the weird graphics glitch like in RV29's post until I removed camerapointfix.asi. I also removed bullet.asi and colormod.asi, but that was before I got it to actually run, so dunno if they were a problem or not.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #153 on:** July 28, 2012, 01:28:37 PM »

Hm, it's the first I've heard of that issue with that ASI.

Busy at Otakon ATM so won't be able to work on this and address questions until later.

CadetMitten · « **Reply #154 on:** July 31, 2012, 02:45:26 AM »

Thanks for the Tips, it actually worked after removing the speedometer mod which was weird, but the rest of the game makes up for it ^^.. However have you ever had crashes in whetstone? whenever i go through the forest area i get a bunch of random crashes ranging from audio, to gta_sa.set and even one of my songs off the user tracks player apparently did it in sometimes it recommends to raise the objects value in salimits would that even help? Anywayz on a positive note this is probably still the most fun i've had in a gta game, also i swore i saw miku hatsune O.o

DX7.EP · « **Reply #155 on:** July 31, 2012, 03:31:23 AM »

I haven't had any particular to that area in 1.6, 1.6.1, or 1.6.7. Speedometer was made optional in 1.6.7 since there are several out there and I think it's better left to user preference.

And yes, Miku is around. *wants a working TF2 playermodel set too but cannot find a working link

Yeah thats odd Considering its popularity :s all i can find are the same 4 characters, Alot of cool mods are gone now X.X

DJstagen · « **Reply #157 on:** August 02, 2012, 11:13:14 PM »

I've fixed the graphical issue with the Reimu skin appearing white or as a malformed CJ.
You have to manually add a Reimu texture file to the GTA.IMG file using something like IMGtools. Afterwards the skin should work normally.

DJstagen · « **Reply #158 on:** August 06, 2012, 01:09:47 AM »

Speaking of Graphics issues, is anyone else experiencing black squares rising up over the screen sometimes?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #159 on:** August 06, 2012, 02:50:50 AM »

Windowed mode tends to do that for some reason.

DJstagen · « **Reply #160 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:59:47 PM »

Fixed it by going into sa-Limits and setting Heat Haze to 0. It's just the heat blur effect bugging out.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #161 on:** August 07, 2012, 01:26:16 AM »

I've had similar problems with smoke in windowed mode. Probably a bug in SALA's handling of that setting.

So I downloaded this mod recently, downgraded using that one script that gives me EU version, and keep crashing due to stream.ini;

Version: EU 1.0
Last File Loaded: stream.ini
Last Library Loaded:
Error: Unknown

Assembly Info:

Exception At Address: 0x00000000
Exception Code: 0xc0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

Registers:

EAX: 0x00000000   EBX: 0x0082258E
ECX: 0xFFFFFFFF   EDX: 0x03CA5E90
ESI: 0x00B71853   EDI: 0x01946695
EBP: 0x0028FB34   ESP: 0x0028FB18

I noticed that you mentioned something before about swapping it out with stream_low.ini, but I'm not entirely sure where I would get stream_low.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #163 on:** August 07, 2012, 10:27:03 PM »

IIRC it was already swapped out by 1.6.1 due to problems in that file.

Mind sending a Speccy summary over?

Can you be more specific on how to install this mod rather than *Download all the components*?

I dragged all the files to my GTA-SA folder and when i start it up i hear Touhou music playing, but the models are the same! Can you tell me on how i could change the Skins?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #166 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:04:13 PM »

Models: replace GTA3.img. Skins - read the readme....

TheMasterOfZen · « **Reply #167 on:** August 17, 2012, 12:48:16 AM »

EDIT: I downloaded the two Model files and extracted them. I found the gta3.img file. But when i start the game it gets a black screen?

TheMasterOfZen · « **Reply #168 on:** August 18, 2012, 12:20:02 AM »

By the way are the audio files a MUST for this mod to work?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #169 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:54:24 AM »

Puzzling. Can you at least get to the menu? If not check errordump.txt for any recent changes and update your GPU drivers (need info on those, send me a Speccy summary).

Audio is not a requirement, but without it, the mod impact isn't quite as great.

camarokid · « **Reply #170 on:** August 18, 2012, 04:42:06 PM »

I'm having some problems trying to get the audio files out of the 7z format they are in. I've joined them with HJsplit and both 7zip and Winzip are telling me that the joint audio files aren't a valid archive and refuse to open it. any help would be appreciated.

TheMasterOfZen · « **Reply #171 on:** August 18, 2012, 06:09:25 PM »

Yeah i can get to the Menu, but if i start up in a place where you can see Pedestrians the game automatically crashes. So the only way i can get this game to work is to be inside my house. So my spec's might as well be the problem.

Intel GMA 3000

2.3 GB of RAM

Intel PENTIUM D 3.40 and 3.4 GPU speed.

I could run normal GTA SA fine, even with the Spell cards it's fine. But if i replace the gta3.img or gta_int.img it crashes... *I tried dragging everything and it won't work.*

DX7.EP · « **Reply #172 on:** August 19, 2012, 06:38:07 AM »

Camerakid: select all the split archives in file manager, right-click to 7-zip menu -> extract all.

Zen: Quite an anemic system.

I would suspect three things:
- corrupted download of gta3.img (retry)
- extra client-side mods that conflict with some of the TGTA assets
- Since the TGTA models are generally more taxing than the stock ones, the GMA may be having difficulties rendering and hence crash. However this is unlikely, as usually one would merely get reduced frame rate.

I only installed CLEO 3. Do i need Cleo 4 or no CLEO mods at all?

I tried downloading the GTA3.img again, but it doesn't work. *Even in two computers*

Meh, installed the mod but when I select Start the game stay in a black screen.
What I need to do?

First run Speccy and post summary. Could be hardware-related.

CLEO 3 is needed for most of the features - you can try re-downloading that. CLEO 4 doesn't seem to play well.

[Hardware] might be the reason?

I'd be inclined to agree, considering that the Intel GMAs pre-2010 are notoriously bad with games - not just due to low processing power and lousy drivers, but earlier models especially also had missing hardware features that were poorly emulated in software or completely ignored.

Their newer chips (Intel HD Graphics series), however, are significant improvements in those regards (though by no means are they complete dedicated GPU replacements for gamers).

The very least you can try is to update your graphics drivers (32-bit, 64-bit), but do note that the last set of drivers are from 2009.

Adding a dedicated GPU or (better yet) replacing the dinosaur are better long-run ideas.

Oh god a netbook! :ohdear:

I can definitely suspect that very weak hardware may be the culprit, especially considering how horrible netbook GPUs generally are. But even then it should be at most a slideshow, I'd expect....

Update your graphics drivers via Intel's site at the very least.

RemiShama · « **Reply #178 on:** August 20, 2012, 02:40:36 PM »

Ya, it's a netbook, lol.
I try to update the driver, if I have problem I post there, thanks.

The driver is updated... ?-?
