Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

I'm glad it works well!


Does anyone here know if there is a file where you can change some car attributes such as speed or somthing similar?

Also does anyone know how to change the model of a gun without the game crashing?

the file to change speed of a veh is located in:
\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data\handling.dat

open handling.dat with notepad or a text editor.

for an example I have tried to edit the cop car max speed to 1

This is how the line will look:
POLICE 1700.0 6.0 85 0.0 0.0 -0.16 0.0 5 0.20 1.0 150.0 0.22 0.67 0.7 35.0 1.35 1.10 15.0 0.15 0.47 1.5 0.8 0.8 0.14 -0.17 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.0 0.8 1.5 0.0 25000 440040 0 0

150.0 is max speed

35.0 is acceleration speed

I haven't had any success yet though as it doesn't effect the veh in any way.

the handling.dat works well....i changed the taxi-stats to the FBI-stats and raised the mass and acceleration...it's really fun to crash away the traffic
