The ULTIMATE MODDING GUIDE for GTA San Andreas (2024) #3 - Modloader Tutorial & Learning File Types

In this episode, we're going to install mod tools for GTA SA, including an IMG Editor and TXD Editor. We'll also make our own basic mod for San Andreas, and install it with and without Modloader so you get an idea of how Modloader works.

Throughout the guide, we're also going to cover almost all of the San Andreas file types so you know exactly what each type of file does and what mods may use them for.

NOTES/UPDATES:
- If you're getting an error when installing MagicTXD regarding missing redistributable runtimes, this is because you are missing a necessary redistributable, and MagicTXD is trying to download it for you. However, the download they used seems to be down now, which will result in an error when installing MagicTXD.

If you are getting this error, download this all-in-one installer for Visual C++ redistributable runtimes, then try to install MagicTXD after. The issue should be fixed.
