It seems like you forgot to install the gta.dat lines. Make sure you installed both gta.dat (ide and ipl lines) and images.txt lines right.

It's extension has to be .dat. You have a file named gta.dat which has the extension of .tmp. I think the problem is when you saved it, the file was read-only and you saved it as a different extension. Make sure you edit the file named "gta" which has the extension "dat". Same goes for images.txt. Hope this helped.

1. i do replace them in the regular files with out the .dat and .txt exstensions

2.they are NOT read only

3. when i modify the files it updates in the TMP files aswell(the .dat and .txt)

4. it still doesn't work.

5.my friend did the same thing i did and it works fine for him.. is it maybe a script or could it be that i have the spotlight mod in and that could be interfering with it

No, there's no need for any scripts.

 

What I usually do, go to pc/data/maps  place the actual map files there (it's a folder that contains .wpl, .img and .ide files), then I open the mod's gta.dat file, look for the IDE lines, copy those into my own gta.dat file into the last IDE section, then copy the IPL lines, paste them into my own gta.dat once again in the IPL section at the bottom, then save the file. Now I copy the images.txt lines from the mod and place them into my own images.txt file and hit save. Afer that I'm all done, in case they didn't mess up the gta.dat or images.txt lines (some mods don't have the path correct).

 

Anyway do you have more then 1 GTA on your computer? Because if so, the problem could be, that the game is using the original copy's files. That's my last idea what might be happening here.

i reinstalled my game and now it works so it must of been something i had done with other map mods and they were conflicting but now it works so thanks

Great to hear. Enjoy!
