[WIP] The first GTA4 mod manager


Recommended Posts

For the past 6 months I have been working on a mod manager that is now near completion. In the next 5 weeks hopefully you will see the first version. We are currently beta testing this, so please be patient. Perhaps I could release a version for .dat mods as we are still working on IMG and RPF opening. Here is a real screenshot of the mod manager running.

  When you upload your package on www.gta4mods.com, millions of people will be able

  to download your package via 4MI. For the user this means that it is easier to

  download new mods for GTAIV. For the author this means that they will get known

  by the community, faster than any other method could ever do.

nice, but on your site is a system update at the moment...

Yes we have been working on our servers since 8 pm this morning, it works here so my guess is that your dns isn't updated yet. Just wait, eventually it will work (within 24 hours max) and then you can dl it. (OR use a proxy such as www.glypeproxy.com?)

Nice work g4mGunner. I've mirrored the file and published a news article as per your request!

 

Matt.

You might want to fix the version number, V0.1 instead of V1.0

Apologies, sir smile.gif

 

Matt.

No worries, we are working on upgrading our server still, for V2 i have something planned that allows you to browse mods right in the mod installer. inlove.gif
