Q and A

Q. can i make a war zone mod by doing this?
A. yes...but its hard to do

things to edit: peds.ide, pedgrp.dat, pedstats.dat, popcycle.dat, cargrp.dat, shopping.dat
and map moding to make it look like a war zone

Note: i tried to make a war mod but i never got past the problem of what ped will work for what gang
(about 260 peds to pick from)


Q. can i make a gang member work for a different gang?
A. yes...but delete his name from the gang he came from


Q. can i make a striper work for a gang?
A. yes but they sometimes disappear from the Strip Clubs...and you need to put her name in the pedgrp.dat

All this is unnecessary if you use a tool like the Peditor.

Not a bad tutorial.

[Krailer]

Indeed, that's a good tutorial.

However...

QUOTE

...that's not quite true.

I can't say anything regarding the other peds as I haven't tried them, but prostitutes can be used for sure. Maybe it's because I edited the gang in a slightly different way, I just edited the pedgrp.dat so that the prostitute animations like the walking style and such could be preserved.

One last thing, ped names in the pedgrp.dat shouldn't be deleted as it may cause some issues. If you wish to disable a ped, or move it to another group, replace it's name by NULL in it's original group.

Keep up the good work.

one time, i moded the pedgrp.dat to just have gang peds (apart from Prostitutes, Criminals and Dealers) and i did not have any issues...

note: i use a 100% game save

Yes, it won't work if you edit their stats.

But try this method, it's simpler and works flawlessly:

Let's take the SF prostitutes as an example:

CODE

SWFOPRO, SBFYPRO, SHFYPRO      # POPCYCLE_GROUP_PROSTITUTES (SF)

Change it to:

CODE

null, null, null      # POPCYCLE_GROUP_PROSTITUTES (SF)

Then edit your gang:

CODE

FAM1, FAM2, FAM3     # Gang 2 (THE FAMILIES - PLAYER GANG - AKA GROVE)

To this:

CODE

SWFOPRO, SBFYPRO, SHFYPRO   # Gang 2 (THE FAMILIES - PLAYER GANG - AKA GROVE)

There's your new gang with prostitutes, who will keep their sexy walking style and will praise CJ (good for an ego boost ).

Alternatively, you could also switch the names (i.e. putting the original gang members in the prostitutes group) and you would find them in SF, still behaving as your gang members (and available to recruit).

Keep up.

Yeah i would like to know that too, as for example you wanna add Ryder skin in your grove gang, how could you do that ?

[1stgenLX-Turbo]

Using the homie mod v2 you dont need to replace any pedestrians for adding three gang members. Just use the pedestrian txd/dff that you want for your gang and rename them to the fam4, fam5, fam6 in the mod. Thats what I did but I changed how the chick acts so she walks and talks like a hooker and I edited pedestrian textures so they look like my gang and have a different look then the regular. Ask the topic their about ryder since one guy already has done that. Here are my homies:

The chick, white guy, and the mexican I added.
