6 years ago, when I first started converting cars there were no competent converters and high quality conversions. Now in 2020 there is still only 2-3 converters who can provide vehicles that match the GTA:SA atmosphere, have no bugs and do not cause opcodes in SA-MP/MTA. Majority of the converters active right now are incapable of converting the cars in their original sizes, causing bizarre visual effects where a small compact is taller than a person standing next to it; incapable of applying reflections that also look good without  any 3rd party graphics modification and no reflections on parts that are not supposed to reflect; incapable of making cars tunable; incapable of creating damaged parts for cars. 
The incompetence of other modders has motivated me to learn the art of converting and start supplying the community.

INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS:
It is highly recommended to install the pack with LINK/2012´s Mod Loader! 
 
To install the mod after installing Mod Loader, simply drag and drop the content of "GTA V cars to San Andreas 1.2"  folder into ...\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\
 
It is strongly advised to install the regular pack prior to installing the VehFuncs pack as all the data lines of the new pack are pre-adjusted to fit the regular pack cars as well. 
Simply overwrite the GTA V cars to San Andreas folder with the new one and remember to do the same with ImVehFt folder, as new emergency lights scripts are there.
 
IN CONCLUSION:
I would like to thank everyone who have contributed into this mod with either modelling, scripting or suggestions, but most importantly the people who have downloaded it and are actively using it. This makes me happy and shows me that my hard work has gone to good use and motivates me to continue working on that project. 
 
If you have problems/questions or want to show pictures of your game, feel free to do so here, in the mod´s official topic.

• 55+ vehicles upgraded to VehFuncs
  
  • New vehicle variants in same model
    
  • Functional special features
    
  • Better utilization of size 
    
  • 1000s of extras
    
  • More logical engine sounds

Pergunta para os modders, por que nesses tipos de packs as partes que em teoria deveriam ser cromadas parecem sempre ser feitas de plástico?





Você não pode usar a textura vehicleenvmap128?
Ou diretamente o jogo não suporta nada relacionado ao cromo?
É algo que me irrita um pouco, principalmente porque não tenho um PC bom o suficiente para rodar SA DirectX 2.0 que acrescenta esse pequeno detalhe.
Suponho (por minha ignorância) que um ".asi" também poderia ser feito para implementar uma textura cromada, não sei ...
O resto do mod é excelente, estou ansioso para o pacote completo :D

Use o SkyGFX que isso melhora. 


E respondendo sua pergunta, por que o GTA SA não tem efeito metálico bom.. a melhor forma de simular isso é aumentando muito o ENV do material, mas ainda assim fica ruim e acaba bugando ao usar o SKYGFX, ou vai ficar muito azul ou preto. 

You can change the vehicleenvmap128 texture inside the models/generic/vehicle.txd to different texture and get universally new reflections. Just play around with it and find what suits you the best

I and Kkjj fought with trying to perfect a metallic look for our pcj600 remastered mod. We failed. Maybe in the next pcj600 update the metallic look'll be finally perfect. Seems difficult to achieve a metallic look for GTA SA.

Metal: reflects colors and absorves lighting, so it looks darker.
Non-metal: reflects only lighting, no colors, and it's brighter.

Yes, that´s pretty much the best available solution now. As a matter of fact this is exact copy of how Rockstar did them by default for San Andreas.
So if some graphics mod intends to change that for original cars, all my cars will be instantly affected as well.


Anyways, now the next thing in my agenda before converting new cars is to update the VehFuncs pack. Initially my plan was to update the VehFuncs pack once we also reach 20 new VehFuncs cars (currently 11), but since the last pack, VehFuncs got updated and one new feature got added. That is the possibility to change engine sounds. I think this is a pretty big game changer. Therefore, I will once again go through all the VehFuncs cars and change the engine sounds where applicable.
Unfortunately still a lot of cars VehFuncs cars will remain WIP as many important features are still not available. 

EDIT: Alright so I´ve hit the stone wall with the engine sounds now... Apparently there is some sort of limit to how many times each engine sound can be used or so, and if it goes over that the game will crash. Therefore changing engine sounds is a slippery road and I should probably not do that :(

Try to find a specific limit, a way to reproduce as minimal as possible.

Okay good news! The VehFuncs upgrade pack 1.1 is now available!
https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas ... grade-1-0/

Features:

• ~55 vehicles upgraded to VehFuncs
  
  • Multiple vehicle variants in same model
    
  • Thousands of extras
    
• Functional special features
  
• More logical engine sounds
  

​​​​​​​


Unfortunately there are still dozens of open issues and bugs, as important features have not been been added and bugs have not been fixed:

• f_exhaust
  
• IVF lights on extras appear in random places
  
• possibility to change doors opening angle
  
• _oc configuration (creates peds on backseats)
  
• utility siren (silent siren)
  
• f_roof
  
• sliding door
  
• f_animation
  
• zones to spawn cars where they normally wouldn´t
  

It may be that the google translator wrongly translates some things;

First, excellent work.

But I noticed little things that could be improved.


1º 1st I don't know what logic you used, but Admiral looks much more like the more like Premier vanilla.

Example: Admiral looks much more like Premier vanilla.


2º Maybe it would be good to adapt some spoilers for Vehfuncs' f_spoiler function, example Comet (Automatically adapt to this mod, very good by the way. I don't know if you know)

3º Some of the IVF's turn signals are "wrong", when I was handling the AVP I ended up managing to leave them in the correct position, I will pass on these "dummy's" to you when necessary, for example Nebula:
How is it:

How would it be:


It makes more sense for the reflection on the floor to be straight.


But again, excellent work.

This pack should be a great stress test for VehFuncs, if it's running without crashes, I'm impressed.
