Hello guys, I am here to provide a modding guide for SAMP, which will contain many things. I use these things to do my mods. But firt make sure you have a clean IMG.
Alright now to get started, here are some of the things that are gonna be inside the package.Gmax (Making models)
MEd (To import your models into or just look at your models)
IMG Tool or G-IMG
Jernejl's map editor (Or any other map editor you would like to use.)
Kams Scripts
TXD Workshop
Collision Editor
Here are some good resource you could use or maybe already have to be usefil to the pack aswell with modding.
Paintshop or Paint
GTA SA Textures (Can be found throughout the gta3.img)
Turbosquid.com (You can find your models there for 3ds max/gmax and can be used inside those programs and be used over SAMP if you texture it or if it comes with textures.)
3D Ripper DX (Convert your COD models through that or any other game models.)
Any thing that can be used inside gmax or 3ds max would be good for SAMP.
Now for the explansion for the terms of SAMP modding.
SAMP modding in SAMP's term, is when you mod something relating to the Custom image file, the image file is there for adding your own objects as you guys know.
Modding to SA-MP is a good and a unique way to show off style and or some good and unique maps. ofcorse thats Cessil's job for the SAMP Team. SAMP modding can also have
something to do besides objects like peds,vehicles,etc.
SAMP modding was first knowed to SAMP when 0.3c came out. Matite and Cessil were the first ones to do this method, Till Slayer101 (Me.) Actually found out the same.
This guide was made for helping people get to know about SAMP modding and why it could be the new SAMP modding method or atleast the best way to map and to do fun stuff along with your server.
Now on to the guide.
Here is a download link to the package.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0t0th816b0u2uxmAlright now once you got the package, you can extract them anywhere you like
I will explain ever single usage for the files.
First off Gmax.
Gmax is the usage to create models for SAMP and effects.
MEd is the usage for looking at your models or just inserting them into the IDE
The IMG or G-IMG tool is the usage for installing your mods into the IMG for SAMP.
Jernejl's map editor is the usage for adding the objects or in this guide for adding the custom objects for your map.
Kams Scripts is the usage for extracting and importing SA models,bones or effects. and exporting.
TXD workshop is the usage for adding Texture to your model or replacing it
Collision editor is the usage for editing,checking or adding collision features to your model

11. Alright now once you have select your size just click once and then it will do the Height of the object.

22. Then goto the Collision Editor to where you can look at the model(NOTICE: IF YOUR WANTING TO MAKE ANOTHER MODEL OPEN THE FIRST ONE YOU MADE AND ADD IT TO THAT ONE)
