You can find some texturing tutorials at GTAzz & AwesysNet, they're pretty comprehensive so they should take you through the basics.

thanks, killer.ip ,i think i have gotten it,the texture on the m16 is nearly applied and i think if i have no problems,the whole thing is up for download (the M16) with txd and dff for you all,but i have to admit,the uvmapping ain't perfect as it is my first one and the texture is little bit to bad to apply

ok,here it is,testing went faster than expected

DOWNLOAD M16

Looks very nice, good job

Don't forget about the edit button, Dem and anyone else that is moderating this forum do not appreciate double posts that much

oh,lol,i hope i don't forget till next time,but now i have a problem with Zmod,somehow it does not want to select anything anymore,earlier today it did (lol,which other way should i have used to texture the M16 ) but now it wont :'(

Looks a bit spiffier than the GTA3 one. We'll keep it until a better one comes along. In the meantime, can you post a pic of what it looks like in pickup form?

yeah,you are right,it looks little bit more brightened,but i think that ain't such a big problem,so,here is the pickup-picture :
btw, the shotgun is already textured ,ok, 87% or so,only few faces on top,but i'm fighting with zmod again,so it might take some hours till its up here

The HUD pic for the M4 you released still has the Vice City HUD. You may want to change that to the gta3 HUD

yeah,i will replace it with the right one,but i have problems finding the gta3 ones in gta3.img

I am not sure I follow.... I just changed the HUD on the M4 that I downloaded from you.
Open the GTA3.IMG from gta3, find the entry m4.txd
That has the HUD pic in it. You will have to extract both texture and alpha.
Erase everything in the alpha so it is all white (instead of a black outline of the M4)
Replace the HUD in your M4.txd with the texture and edited alpha mentioned above. Done.

If you are reffering to a different weapon that has a different name or something, let me know and I will try to figure out where you get them from.

[Edit]
Changeing a HUD texture is simple, whereas modeling itself does my head in. If you want help with the HUD pics for each weapon that you do I would be glad to do them for you before you release them, if you send them to me somehow.

hehe,i have no problem doing the huds or putting them into the txd,but finding the original ones in the gta3.img,cause there they are segeregated from the original textures ...
BTW,i updated the hud no and i already finished the M870 Shotgun to replace the Chromegun

and here you can downloaded the revised M16hud and the all new shotgun :
Download Revised M16hud and M870

EDIT: Point taken

Not a bad weapon, still not really sure what Dems plans are for the weapons.

that are both original weapons,only the uv-map differs a little,the texture and the model are still the fully original and the uvmaps are the best that i could do
and as demarest wanted the original ones i did them,and thats not what they do and should look (ok,it could be a way better with the M16,but not with the shotgun,lol),but whey should that thingy be here ?? ,this is still a weapon,even if it would be "unofficial"
btw. if i wouldn't port something ,or way said,if i would do something myself,the textures would be more usefull and the model would be HIGH poly,so that gun ain't made by me

My take on most of this project is "if you're doing it, YOU decide what's okay." I've already stated a bazillion times that we're working on a port. If somebody wants to contribute, that should be their only guideline. I know I get iron fist with "direct port" when it comes to questions like "are you guys gonna..." but for those actually doing the work, I'll trust their interpretation. If somebody releases something too deviant, I'm sure we'll all eat them for lunch and discuss amongst ourselves later how tasty they were

Hey Silent Viper, you should open the M16 in zmod, then open the Material Editor select the M16 texture and change the color to grey instead of white, that way it won't be bright, you'll notice that with the gta3 weapons.dff

«°´¨`·.¸¸.¤-*EDIT*-¤.¸¸.·´¨`°»
Actually all the guns in GTA3 use that grey thing in the Material Editor.

«°´¨`·.¸¸.¤-*ANOTHER EDIT*-¤.¸¸.·´¨`°»
Well I thought I'd be kind enough to fix the brightness for you, so here is the new and fixed M16 and Shotgun:
Fixed M16 And Shotgun: zipped: 26KB, unzipped: 68.4KB



«°´¨`·.¸¸.¤-*FINAL EDIT*-¤.¸¸.·´¨`°»
Well I used the wrong shade of grey so I fixed it once again:
Fixed M16 And Shotgun

I toke pics of the GTA:LC and GTA3 ones, compare them:

Good work guys. I'll soon return to updating the links. Just a little worn out from the Blunted incident. Hope everybody understands. Hope my 2.5 hours of sleep help

How many of the weapons are done?
If these are the only two done I will do others.
Does the object in zmodeler need a special name or can it be anything?

«°´¨`·.¸¸.¤-*EDIT*-¤.¸¸.·´¨`°»
Can someone please post a list of which weapons are being replaced by the ones from GTA3.

«°´¨`·.¸¸.¤-*ANOTHER EDIT*-¤.¸¸.·´¨`°»
I am going to put the list of weapons I convert here, please test them:

• Colt 45: Download
  
• Colt 45 Texture Fix: Download
• Rocket Launcher: his hand is fixed in this zip: Download
