How do you change the pstockde handling line, because there isn't any?

I made a new handling line and named it, "pstockade" but that didn't work.

Help?

The handling lines for stockade, pstockade, and nstockade are all housed under the STOCKADE name.  If you change STOCKADE's handling line it will change it for all three models.

I only want to change the handling for pstockade, not nstockade or stockade.

Anybody, HELP!!!!

Changing the handling should be done carefully as it is difficult to do and get it perfectly right every time.

 

You need to open Handling.dat

GTA IV > Common > Data >

 

Find the line beginning with  STOCKADE

 

And adjust the numbers to your liking.

 

As mentioned above though, because the police stockade, noose stockade and ordinary stockade are ALL THE SAME VEHICLE just with different skins so to speak, they all have the exact same handling.

In other words, you change one you change them all, there is NOTHING you can do about this.

 

So you either deal with it or change them all, basically. :)

 

Hope this helps.

What about the sound, it still sounds like it did before?

 

p.s It worked

The handling worked not the sound.

You can, as I have, edit them independently. Warning: It doesn't work perfectly. Engine sound sometimes will cut out and I've experience a crash or two that I attribute to this.

Open up vehicles.ide. Looking at pstockade, the fourth and fifth entries should be 'stockade' and 'pstock'. Change the first one to 'pstock' (stockade is the handling name entry) and the second one to whatever vehicle you'd like it to sound like (note, EVCS will read both vehicles as identical, so if you use it, tough luck.)

Now, open up handling.dat and copy the whole line for POLPAT. Paste it right below POLPAT. Change the new lines name to PSTOCK and then place the handling line you want for PSTOCKADE right after that, but make sure you don't erase PSTOCK. 

Final line should look like : PSTOCK <numbers>
It should NOT look like: PSTOCK PSTOCKADE <numbers> or anything like that. 

Again, it doesn't work perfect, but it works. 

alright, thanks.
