Title: [TUT] How to use a custom map
Post by: OhhKarim on 12 05, 2018, 06:16:04 pm
First of all, you'll need to download some new maps from anywhere.

- Here's a black and white map (.jpg file): https://i.imgur.com/eH3JtZU.jpg
- Here's a dark green map (.png file): https://i.imgur.com/NULW4im.png
- Here's a blue orange map (.jpg file): https://i.ibb.co/zGCQhq0/test.jpg

To download them, enter the link and press right click on the picture, then click 'save image as...' and choose any location, then press 'save'.

Now go to this location: \MTA SA\mods\deathmatch\resources\CITradar\images
(https://i.imgur.com/pJ3Sxtj.png)

Put the map in the folder called 'images' and name it something comfortable. For example 'test'.
Now, look if the picture is .png or .jpg

To know which one your picture is, press right click on it, then press 'properties' and it will tell you the file type.

After you know what the file name is, go ingame and type '/settings'. In the search bar, type 'radar image' and this should show up.

Now type test.png if the file type is .png or type test.jpg if the file type is .jpg
After you've done so, press F11 again and it will be applied.

Keep in mind that you can always use the default maps again. Use 'map-hd.png' for the default HD map, and 'map.png' for the lower quality default map.

@OhhKarim
I know, I deleted it a long time ago because I recorded it when I had a bad PC so it had low FPS. I'll make another video later, in the meantime you can still use the text tutorial.

Is there a tutorial how to add custom roads?

No, but I'll explain it for you.

Download any road mods, it'll usually give you a .rar package, place it in any folder and extract it. It'll give you many files.

After that, download Alci's IMG editor (https://www.gta-modding.com/area/file-3-alcis-img-editor.html) and open up the program (make sure GTA SA/MTA SA are closed) and then click the button at the left top side of the program, and open your gta3.img file, it's inside your GTA SA folder inside another folder called "models".

Then, click on the green arrow pointing down, which says "import" and then import all the files that you have extracted before (the road mod files). Now, just click on the "save" icon and then it's done. @OneOfAngels

And here's a video if it's still not clear enough.

@Sniper. Try to convert the photo from PNG to JPG or the opposite.

Be sure to follow the steps about .jpg and .png as it will not work correctly if you write the wrong file type.

Is there any new maps? Or what you just putted?
By the way none of these skins working .. for some reason

If they aren't working then how did I do it in the video? Am I a magician? No, you just did it wrong. Follow the steps correctly, it worked for me and for the other people who replied in my topic. There's plenty of other maps that you can find on google if you don't like the ones that I posted.

You can put several maps in your folder by different names, and then whenever you want to change it, all you have to do is change the name of the map in /settings.
