Some questions Thread - Back to the Future: Hill Valley mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

I've seen pictures of the DeLorean in GTA and it has those beakers and stuff in the back but it's not like that in my game. Is this a future feature or is it supposed to be here? Are there suppose to be no wheels on the cars? And I can't seem to fly the DeLorean when I press 4, 5, space, or shift. None of them work. Is it because I have to be in fly mode to go into hover and I can't get into fly mode because I'm using a laptop? And what about the hoverboard? Why isn't there one?

most of the stuff ur talking about, is supposed to be in .2c, i think, i.e. the hoverboard

BTTFFan:

With "beakers" are you refering to all the stuff on the rear deck of the DeLorean?

Did you install the DeLorean models with an IMG tool or did you just installed the mod's EXE file?...

Did you checked if you had NumLock On?, I had some problems with that and the DeLorean didn't enter to hover mode because of that. I kept pressing 5 until I pressed the NumLock key.

Oh, and sorry for answering questions with other questions :p...

I wasn't exactly sure what they meant in the Readme on how to install images. I installed the mod then I went to the Grand Theft Auto Vice City folder and clicked car models. I saw all the models they mentioned and I thought they were saying to delete them. So I did. Was I suppossed to delete them from models and then add the car models in the car models folder to the same folder that contained gta3.img?

the txd. and dff. files in the "car models" folder were put there for you to use them to replace the other files located in the gta3.img archive.

Thanks I'm trying to reinstall it now. Where's the gta3.img archive?

And what's the IMGTool?

In your GTA Vice city models folder.

Oh I see a gta3.img but it's a file not a folder. Do I put the stuff in the models folder too?

The IMG tool is what you use to replace and add files to the gta3.img. You can get it here Grandtheftauto.gamefront.com

Use the tool to open the gta3.img and replace the files in the model folder.

Yeah I'm currently reinstalling VC. Again.

Okay I get it, but I got an error and it said file might be in use... exiting when I tried to delete the first file (Hotring.dff)

Dir file error... it might be in use... exiting

What that mean?

Ah here's an easy way to fix it, right click on the Vice City folder and uncheck read only. Then you should be able to edit the files.

Oh cool, thanks. I'll try it now.

Oh My gosh. It's done. The Time Train looks like a train! And the DeLoreans look much better! I love this mod!
And I still haven't added .2b yet. What's that gonna be like?

You'll be able to use only 1 time vehicle at a time.

i NOTICED that none of them run on Plutonium anymore. I fixed the flying by changing the control to a control that deosn't require numpad. The DeLoreans all look too similar though. And I'd definitely like to see a hoverboard in 0.2c. Perhaps modeled from a moped or something?

of coarse they look similar, they're the same car
