[How-To] Master List of ZModeler Tutorials

[Rubber]

If you ever wanted to modify or create mods but couldn't figure out how to use ZModeler, this tutorial should help out. I will try to explain every toolbar, tool, menu, and feature of ZModeler, along with applications for when they should or should not be used. I hope this is of some help to some people. Some of the images are too small to fit on the page (Click them to make them full-size).

This topic will be comprised of links that will direct you to other sub-topics. I am doing this because one topic would be way too large. Each tutorial is marked with a [Beginner], [Intermediate], or [Expert] tag. If you are new, I suggest beginning with the beginner ones and work your way up. To begin, expand a sub-group and click on a link:

Import > DFF file, make sure the DFF file is NOT locked, if it's locked you can NOT import the DFF file

Not only that, but you MUST have the full version of ZModeler in order to import DFF files I think.

You can try to use RW Analyze to unlock them.

I don't see a reason why people lock their mods. Everyone should be able to modify their cars according to their own style and enjoy SAMP, thats what I think, otherwise SAMP will die one day.

Its due to people sharing new knowledge for free about GTA SA , making tutorials, softwares for free for everyone that GTA SA is still one of the popular games in so many years.
