Maybe it's more like a problem with the modded car?

it doesnt matter witch car you use.. its all the same.. Like:

Banshee ? lambo-Murchielago  (it worx now!)
Stinger ? F&F Eclipse ..... now the modded cars "dissapear"

Banshee ? lambo-Miura (or isnt it a lambo?  forgot that laugh  )
Infernus ? Dodge Viper GTS ..... Cars dissapear

always when more than one car added in game, this happens.

it only worx with:
Banshee ? lambo-murcielago
and
Yakuza Stinger ? Mclaren F1 (this car isnt made properly btw)

why is that?
is it something with the textures? (like maybe the textures aren't in the right format for my pc, so that when added more then 1 they "dissapear")

Did you just exchange the dff and txd files, or did you change default.ide and handling.cfg too? if you did, make sure you haven't accidentally inserted some useless characters or empty lines there, as that might spoil the game. If the texture of one car was faulty, it would just cause this car to appear white or disappear completely from the game, but it shouldn't have an effect on other modded cars. Another thing: only try to install modded cars that are intended for use with GTA3, those that only come for Vice City won't work in almost all cases.

Most cars require "Dmagic1's Wheel Mod" to work correctly in GTA3.  Have you installed this?  If you change the default.ide file to make these cars use the special wheels, you will need the Wheel Mod installed.

Mods will always work unless you do something wrong.  Cars which do not work in-game do not get released.

When you add cars, you may find that parts of the map will begin crashing your game.  You just have to keep out of those areas.

IMG 1.1 by REspawn

nothing crashes... just the cars (when added 2 or more cars)
and btw, i only use GTA3 cars unless it says this car works in vice city AND gta3
i never change default.ide cause some of the cars dont have that part included in the.zip file and i use dmagic to mod the wheels but i always change the handling.cfg

Another possible reason:
Dmagic's wheelmod needs to be installed only once, never install it twice. Make sure you haven't accidentally installed it two ore more times.

This seems to be what I described.  You will probably find that the game is crashing when you get near to a particular building which has become messed up.  It seems that some part of GTA3 does not understand when the IMG is changed.  It was very common in GTAVC.  I don't think there is a fix for this, you just have to remember where you crash and don't drive there again. cry

Cerb, is Vice really that problematic with mods? I've got a project planned for San Andreas, but I'm going to have to start it in Vice since I have to wait until I can afford to upgrade my Graphics card. I Hope there'll be a few copies of SanAn v1 left by that time too...
