Bus, blood, brake light mod

- Busses are driving all round the city
- Busses don't have all the same colour any more (green-white) but they will appear in different coulours
- Blood will be more intensive when shooting at someone
- When crashing in street lights or red lights, you will not only see electric sparks but also some smoke

Realism Car Handling mod

-top speed changes to every vehicle to better represent their real life counter parts
-same goes for acceleration, which now enables you to "peel out" when at full throttle from a standing start
-increase steering locks for all cars
-decreased drag (now cars will reach newly assigned top speeds)
-changed the amount of gears most cars have to represent their real life counter parts
-since accel is fixed on most cars it will now allow you to DRIFT THEM biggrin.gif no changes where made to traction of cars and bikes
-SUV's and Trucks traction has been change so they will be able to roll over easily

How will this affect MP?

It's an open invitation to cheat as far as I can tell from how you circumvent the file integirty checks.

I would install a 2nd instance of the game or duplicate the install folder for MP personally.
 
Any ideas when we can start seeing custom vehicles?

I wouldn't mind blasting round Liberty City in a Veyron ;)

The model format isn't fully cracked yet. They can export the existing game models, but it's just a matter of time before the plugins are made to export 3DS Max models to the games format.

Woo, additional graphical requirements... just what this game needs...
 
Any idea how to get mods working? I tried to simply modify the handling.dat file and well... the game would not start, even with this patch :(

That forum will explain all. I've circumvented the games file protection manually but it's not that straightforward for most people.

Lots of files documented and whatnot in those forums if you can wade through the Gangsta wannabe kids from America posting on there. You'll probably stumble across my posts too (same username).
