Carrec.img File

Carrec.img file is located in San Andreas/data/Paths
The file contains a set of R3 files(files with an extension .rrr).
These files contain path information used by the mission script in the game.

The paths are predefined and look unnatural during game play because the movement of the vehicle is very rigid. The paths ignore many stuff in the game including gravity and obstacles. Original San Andreas installation has 426 R3 paths. Pay attention that the maximum number of these paths is 475.

You can use Seemann's script<see links below>
After recording the path with this, the file is stored in San Andreas/data/Paths



1: Get Seemann's script: http://cleo.sannybuilder.com/scripts/carrec.rar
2: Put it in to the CLEO folder, run the game and get into a vehicle you want.
3: Press SHIFT+R to start recording the route. Now the game is recording you're vehicle drive the car around were you wanna create the path.
4: When you have finished, press SHIFT+R to stop recording.
5: Quit the game, go to GTA San Andreas/Data/Paths/
6: See a file called carrec.img? Open it with whatever img editor you use.
7: There is a file in GTA San Andreas/Data/Paths/called carrec900.rrr , this is the path you recorded.
8: Add it into carrec.img
9: Write you're script(You must note: whatever number you're file is say if you rename it carrec880.rrr
then you would load path in your script with that number):

Example:

Code:


07C0: load_path 880


10: Use opcode 07C1: to check if available in you're script.
11: Assign vehicle to the path using opcode 05EB:
12: Release path when finished with opcode 0873:


(IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT name the paths all the same if you do more than one)

To make it easier for you're self:
I would name my first for example carrec880.rrr

Then my second for example:
carrec881.rrr



These files has no header, only a binary data, being a set of structures of 32 bytes in length each, described separate path points. The data in each checkpoint structure goes as the following:

Code:
