hi fellas after a lot of help from you guys i was able to get two cars into the game,now i wanna change the cars in there ,i got the LAPD charger and an unmarked unit with no skin,want them out but don't know how. i dont't remember the file names so i can replace the cars.Another question when you transfer the cars into the game do you also have to transfer other files too or just the wft. and wtd. and if so how do i get the other files into the game. need a patient person to help out cause i'm really computer dumb. just love the way the game looks and want to learn how to download and install for it correctly. thanks in advance for any help.

You can just replace the files.

The name of the files is probably one of these;

police

police2

noose

polpatriot

And otherwise, you don't need to import more files than the wft and wtd

Jacob to the rescue thanx man.how do i replace them?And while i'm at it how is it when i pull someone over i can't have any kind of dialog with them. they just stare at the cop

You just import the cars, like you did the first time.

Uhm, you walk up to the red circle, right? You'll need to press NumPad 3/6/9 to talk to the driver.

i see the colored circles on the you tube videos but there are no circles on my gamescreen

With some car mods you just need to replace the .wft and .wtd files but in the readme, which should come with the download, there will most of the time be instructions telling you to modify some GTA files such as carcols.dat, handling.dat, vehicles.ide etc. These, I think, aren't necessary in order to use the mod unless you want the car to have specific attributes. In the other topic you've created, you mentioned a handling.dat. This file is located in GTA directory\common\data. Open this with notepad and replace the line it tells you to in the readme.

thanks alot i'm gonna give it a try

The colored circles is made by the recording program they use, so you can see where they click.

When you pull a car over you have to wait for the dialogue at the bottom of the screen to tell you that you can exit the vehicle after parking behind the car. After that just enter the red marker.

Do you have Simple Native Trainer installed also? Because if you do; that is most likely the reason why you can't turn ELS on.

I included a trainer.ini with this post which you just have to copy the "Grand Theft Auto IV" folder inside the archive into your "Rockstar Games" folder; then just merge the folders and replace the files when prompted.
