Since i've gotten in to this server i thought i would put my modeling skills to work, I have only done 1 trailer so far but i do plan on doing others as well. Ok well i don't like getting mods that look all shiny and stuff like that cause imo they don't fit with GTA:SA and they look funny in game. Now i haven't done much so far.
So what i do is take the orginal vehicle models and edit them to look better and more relastic while still keeping the orginal models and graphics. They won't cause lagg since they're the orginal model just edited, sometimes i add addtional polys but not much.
So far i have done 1 trailer and it's artic1.
What i have done to it is move the reefer from the top to the front of the trailer (where they're suppose to be) I plan on adding double wheels. I plan on also doing the other trailers as well. I'm also trying to figure out a way to make the trailer lights flash when you use the blinkers
I posted this cause i would like ideas of what i should do to the trailer and your oppinions on the trailer edit. When i edit other trailer i will prolly post pics. When i think they're done i will upload them so anyone can download. I'll post updates as i go.

I tried to edit the petrol but when i put it in game the texture bug, like the rim texture don't show like they should. I have no idea why. Yes i have xfire but i never get on it, my user name is ooeshadowooe. Best way to contact me is via forums cause i don't get on any instant message programs

sorry it wasn't done in the convoy server it was taken on my local server that i've been working on. It's just much easier to check edits then joinig the convoy server. (i am not advertising, it's just my mess around server)

I'll relase the beta version. Here you go. Let me know if you find any bugs.
No need for a txd since it uses the orginal txd
thx :D

Let me know what you think of it, there is currently 1 bug i have spotted. On on of the lights in the back on the side i put it to far in so i need to move it out.
I finally found someone that like edits in San Andreas original cars! :smile2: :smile2:

Ya i have enjoyed editing cars since i can never really find a mod i truly like.
I have fixed the lights and i'm currently testing them. When i have tested them i will upload the new fixed edition. After that i'm gonna work on another trailer. Maybe the petrol or somthing
The old link won't work anymore, here is the fixed version.

Hope you dont mind but im stealing this too, im just amazed at the mods on any car etc and would love too see how its done in front o me xD

Really nice mod, Shadow.
Currently using it, but really wish the rims were slightly edited.

Can you make something cool like this with Artic 3? That would be cool ;D

Yes, i plan on editing all the trailers. I've also got some thing for the roadtrain as well (like making the lights on the top of the truck work) but i'm currently trying to get the artic acievement.
I would create something my self, but when i did start Artic 3 modding with (Zmodeler) I didnt even know how to copy the boxes that are on top of trailer, and move them somewhere else :'(
And, when I created a box, it was textured like a wheel xD
Im complete noob :-[
Zmodeler isn't the best software to be using to 3d modeling, i think it's a complete fail. That's just my oppinion tho. 3ds max all the way

I did download 3ds Max, then installed that Kams thingy, and then i didnt understand anything!>.<
I would like to learn smth, and make my own trailers, trucks! :-\
Doing edits is simpler then modeling your own car, I would model my own car but i really don't wanna take the time to do it.
Basic edit:

Nice, i'm currently working on the roadtrain, so far all i have done is make the lights on the roof work (they will blink with the blinkers only the left and right ones,the center one won't blink), currently trying to find out how i can get double wheels in the back. Should be quite fun since in 3ds max their is only 1 wheel. Prolly have to do some majior linking. It seems when i export from 3ds max the texture seem to come out looking sharper.

This one = Artict 1
Can you add white lights to the top of the Road Train just like the screenshot of the cruiser? I actually think the Road Train would look fantastic if you added them with some other extra lights.
(http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy134/_xLeGeNdx09_/sa-mp-046-4.png)
Nice trailer mateus. The roadtrain default model has lights on the top of it but they don't work. I have got them working but i'm currently having issues with the double wheels.
ihatetn931 or someone else can help me with editing, what do i need to use, do i need knowledge of anything? I know that ihatetn931 uses 3DS Max and Kams script thingy...
You need basic 3d modeling knowledge

Do you have skype or something like that? PM me, if you do ;)
No i don't have skype. I don't like it. I don't get on any instant messgenser.
Here is an edit of the dumper trailer. I have changed the rims, made the dirt texture much smoother so it's not so pointy and added lights.

I could make somthing like that but then that would mean i would have to model a whole trailer. The only thing i would actually take the time to do is convert the artic2 to a car trailer, would take less time then modeling a whole new trailer
Have you done something new to them? Im very interested into those mods :D

the link doesnt work :/ it only gives me www.mediafire.com
I can give you a set of arlan wheels, and arlan chrome. Most realistic stuff I've seen. That could be an edit though, real chrome and real wheels.

Send away, i could add them to somthing
Alright, I can also send you a dff unlocker if you want that too. I have about 10 arlan trucks I take parts off of that used to be locked. I'm not positive it'll unlock for 3ds but I know it works for zmod so its worth a shot
yes it is worth a shot, Kams tools is a stubborn max script. I wish there were other scirpts besides kams to import gta sa models in the 3ds max

Nice, here is the roadtrain with orange lights on the top. Finnally figure out how to get the diffrent colored lights. They don't look that good since the orginal vehiclelights128 aren't that great, wish you could use HQLM without txd hack.

What's wrong with 3ds max?
Nothing, im just not fond of it, i have to use it at school :-\
Someone gave me a great idea, I am gonna make 2 versions of the roadtrain, one with the convoy trucking logo and one without.
This is a bit stupid question, but can someone help?
I imported the trailer (.dff file) and how do I open the .txd file so i can see the wheels and other textures? I did extract Artic 3 .txd with TXD Workshop and now there are 2 files (.bmp) In folder that i selected.. How can I import them in 3DS max?
Im using your trailers with extra lights on the side, but for a better view can you add also lights on the side of the truck?
Here a preview i made for you.
(http://i.imgur.com/LlHXl.png)
Yes, i do plan on adding lights to the side of the roadtrain. I figured out how to get colored lights recentley so this should be easy.
Tom_Farky, you need to press m to bring up the material editor get the eyedroper click on your model with it then go through and set thm to show up

What i did is opened the scs file with winrar, then i looked for the dds (which is the textures) file and exported them. Converted them to tga for gta sa.
All games are diffrent, If you want the tga for them i will upload them. I had to find software to covert them from dds to tga. That trailer was a day in half project and it's still not completely done. I need to some how get some weight on it cause it seems to be to light and top heavy, I'm already regreating having to select the faces to make it so it can use multiple texture like artic1
