Hello fellow GTAForums users,

I could really use some help. I want to convert the 69th Street Diner from GTA IV to San Andreas.
Could someone help me with it if it's possible at all?
I have 3Ds Max for moddeling, in wich I'm not really good since I don't have that much experience, but I want to do most stuff myself if it's possible, because I'm willing to learn some things.
Since my GTA IV map editor doesn't really work, I need to find the model of the building first, so if anyone could help me with that in the first place, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Conversion from IV era to III era is againist to GTANet rules

We only disallow excessive conversions. If he wants to convert just one diner, then it's fine.

I'm glad to hear that, and yeah, it's the only thing that I want to convert.
Is there anyone who could help me with this conversion?

Well. Have you ever tried to export dinner restaurant from GTA IV to SA?. Not to steal but for yourself

[Los-Santos]

Well, I'm looking for it with the ''Shadow Mapper'', but I can't really find it.
I wanted to do that in that way so I can find the name of the model in the IMG file (not sure wich one though).
'Cause when I have to look in each IMG file (or IDE/IPL file), it would take lots and lots of time to find it...

But what you are suggesting is exactly the thing I'm trying to do.
Thanks for helping.

My suggestion is, open whole map, find object and see dff name. Then export it from img and install to your game, create your own ipl.
Do it with Map editor v0.32

[Los-Santos]

That's the problem...
That Map Editor v.032 only works with GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas.
I got the Map Editor for GTA IV (Shadow-Mapper), but unfortunately it has alot of bugs in it and doesn't work too well.

Because i'm talking about the mod, GTA IV to SA. It's IV map on SA engine. google for it, it's released.

[Los-Santos]

Yeah I'm familiar with the mod, I even played it myself.
That's exactly the thing that I didn't want to do... I actually wanted to convert it myself and maybe even releasing it, so it wouldn't be stealing.

And I just found the files of the diner inside one of the IMG files, now I need to find a way to export them.

[Los-Santos]

I managed to open the diner IMG files in 3Ds Max. Could you help me any further?
