Tools
Two main tools are required for a typical vehicle mod for any of the 3D GTA trilogy.
- An IMG editing tool.
- A text editing tool (eg. Notepad, packaged with MS Windows).
Note that not all released IMG editing tools work with every GTA. It is recommended you find the very latest release of a program in order for it to work with the latest games. Always read the readme.
Some common IMG editing programs are:
You can find them in the Tools section of GTAGarage.
These IMG editing tools are used to edit the GTA IMG Archive specifically.
Though MS Notepad is sufficient for editing the Vehicle Formats, you can also use any other simple text editing program. Several can be found simply searching Google. However, you can also find tools specifically designed for editing a particular file, such as CFG Studio for the Handling.cfg.
