Is there no WHM editor yet by a third party?

[Chipsman]

@reditec
as far as i know - no

[reditec]

Is it just plain HTML?

[fastman92]

 

When will ymap editing become a reality? There are several Map Editor mods that I am interested in converting over.

Road to Heaven V4!!!!!

 

That reminds me of my mod: http://www.gtasanandreas.co.vu/2013/09/road-to-heaven-gta-sa-map.html

Well, dumb question as it starts with w it must be a win32 resource...

I found a 010 template by listener. Maybe I'll try to figure the format out and publish a some small tool to edit / create websites.

I hope fastman will create some big library for GTA IV or V sometime. Would be pretty useful if we had an open source libraray for ALL the formats.

It will free openformats (YPT)?

If so when?

sorry, my English

Yes, I managed to find SparkIV because of this post.

[PhillBellic]

And select the format you want:

There's a Grammatical Error here.

 

You have 'Best choose for common and viewing purpose.' It should be "Best choice for common and viewing purposes."

[reditec]

Spark doesn't edit them right.

Yeah, I know.
I was using it to extract the website images.

Yes. In future. Not soon.

I can't promise intermediate builds.

 

That's too bad; the packages are useless without error messages.

May I ask what's the progress of .ymt editing? Any inside news?

[jpm1]

what about an option to be able to delete objects directly inside the map locator . it would save us the traditional export to odr , open with notepad , find the object , reimport

I'm sick for a week already, no news.

okay, what?

[jpm1]

let's say i want to delete an object in GTA . right now you have to do the folowing :

 

- start game

-go onto object

-check its coordinates

-close game

-start openIV

- find object in map locator

-export opl

-open and delete with notepad

-reimport

 

when we want to delete an object it would be cool it we could have to do only :

 

-start game

-find object coordinates

-start and find object with openIV map locator

-delete object in openIV

 

in case it's still unclear let's say i want to delete a road cone . here's the kind of stuff i'd like to have someday

One of you hash is incorrect, at your screen shot you can see "0xy3F4EF6" value. The "y" char is can not be here.

[UltraGizmo64]

Here's a question:
Once you get the cutscenes working for GTA V, will they also work for Max Payne 3?

It seems as though the both have similar technology.

Hello !, I have a problem on Windows 10 x64 PRO program OpenIV 2.7.

Earlier, I used Windows 7 x64 bit and I could move and swap files by moving a folder / desktop / location. For Windows 10 when you try to przeniesinia file swapping and nothing is happening. To replace the file I have to do it manually by "plus in the note" in the program, but it is męczącze, harder and lasts longer. What can I do to be able to move files and to swap?

 

My video showing the problem:

I would like to be able to move and change files like this:

This is your error. Launch it normally.

And here. First you should navigate your way into the archive and then drag-n-drop the folder with the contents.

The core issue here is animation format, yes GTA V and Max Payne 3 have similar format, but still there might be a significant differences.

I will be able to tell more when we will really doing animations for GTA V.

You run OpenIV as Administrator which is why drag and drop is not working.

If you want to use drag and drop you must not run OpenIV as Admin, but I guess you need this because your game located somewhere in "Program Files".

So, here is few options what you can do:

- Move your game into other not system folder (e.g. not Program Files)

- Change permissions of game folder and give your account write access to it

There is also a few options with disabling UAC and messing with admin account but I wouldn't recommend that.

Regarding the following directory:

x64g.rpf\gta5\generic\cutspeds.rpf

 

When trying to replace ped assets, the application locks up and has to be shutdown by force.

OpenIV is freezing while closing a .txt file opened in Notepad.

 

How to get this? Open Max Payne 3 and go to update.rpf\update_files.txt

Works fine for me.

Make sure you have enough free space on a disk. Also, maybe it is need just wait for more time?

Yes, this is known issue. As workaround you can use "View as text" feature in file context menu.

Does .OIV support sound installation (namely conversion to .oac -> .awc) ? I want to make an automated install for a sound pack. Thanks.

You should convert .oac to .awc on your PC and then put this .awc into OIV package.

The openFormats (.oac) files are for editing not for distribution.

Thanks for the help, waiting for it worked.

 

Any idea why it takes a while though?

Does it have to rebuild an archive of some sort?
