Me again...
.
I've downloaded neo's retextured roads and also a HD palm mod - they both have their own generic.txd to put into the models folder, not gta3.img.
I've changed all of the relevant files in gta3.img for both mods.
However when I put the generic.txd in the models folder for the palms mod, the roads go back to the original ones. When I put the roads generic.txd in the models folder the palms go back to the original ones.
Any help on how I can have both in the game?
Pretty sure I managed to sort this out a few years ago but can't remember what I did
