OpenIV crashes when compressing a carcols xml file that's 3mb in size back to YMT. Can this be fixed, or is there some sort of hard limit on file sizes?

Can you please send your carcols xml?

 

can you guys add a refresh option to openiv like in the windows file explorer to reload the displayed content?

There is no need in refresh option. OpenIV updates game folder content view when it's changes in windows explorer. If it's not this is an issue then and we need exact steps to reproduce.

 

Don't have the xml anymore, unfortunately. Ended up just adding the extra content to a separate .meta file loaded separately.

How exactly did you copied folder?

Any chance you can remember what was changed in that file? Maybe even recreate it?

We need more information.

I can write that at home and in my case I also saw this when the contents of the folder was not shown and just restarted openv caused the new content to display.

Contents of this file were added to the base file.

Yeah, it does not work correctly when you drag and drop folders via Explorer. We will look into that issue.

As for workaround you can use copy/paste instead for drag and drop for now.

Well, whatever I tried I was unable to reproduce the crash.

But the file you provided is not correct itself, you can't import it through OpenIV and the game will not work correctly with it.

why is it when I want to open openIV, I get the update, downloads it, but doesnt seem to install it, it'll just close.. I try to open it up again and it downloads the exact same 20.92 mb update just prior. Try a third, same update. It seems as though its not applying the update itself. Wondering if there is an issue with the program, my computer, the installation. Is anyone else getting this problem?

 

 

I still am having the same issue I had about a month ago, this time I have chosen to install McAffee antieverything, so that might be the culprit but I really dont want to have to re-install OpenIV everytime there is an update. Has this been fixed? By the way, how do I make Mcaffee ignore programs, I just have options like that.

[OpenIV Team 390]

@@Quakex64 does McAffee show you any reason for it actions? Does it have OpenIV somewhere in logs?

We need something to report it to them.

[Quakex64 9]

there is nothing that goes on, no errors, no messages about its unsafe, nothing that to stop it from installing/running... now I do have high security options so I get the normal windows message saying "do you allow this program to make changes... blah blah" but nothing to stop it from working... the same thing happens before I installed McAfee... There are also no options in McAfee to allow certain programs to run or not....

I do not know what logs you mean, if OpenIV, I dont know where they are, if McAfee, dont know where those are either and it honestly seems like when there is an update available it will just stop working or something...

Will the new UI support High DPI screens?

[ZZCOOL 1,447]

why doesn't my text show up, ok trying this again, it would be nice with a live model preview of each car with the files below, either a random angle of the car or fixed from the side, just like texture previews a tile look and maybe have a dropbox at the top so you can choose what dlc instead of manually having to go to the dlc files, for cars it would be like this, yes it would be resource intensive to render like 15 models at a time but i think a pc can handle that.

 

infernus model preview comet model preview

infernus.yft comet.yft

infernus_hi.yft comet_hi.yft

infernus.yttd comet.ytd

 

would also be nice with a extract to desktop button for the package installer so you don't have to open it with winrar for manual installs.

No, the idea is to install package automatically.

i always prefer manual installs so i take all the files out and do it manually but it would be nice if there was an extract option especially if all the files are not sorted correctly by folder Edited October 16, 2017 by OpenIV Team

[Claude_Lib 3,589]

Would be nice to have OpenIV logging what files were changed by what OIV packages and then checking if files modified by a package I install are already not original and telling me what package causes a conflict. And keep these logs in the /mods/ folder so they get wiped together with the mods themselves.

Hello, I have a question. Has anyone tried doing something with the sounds.dat15? I.e. add new lines to it?

[Redman'' 10]

hey openiv team, big problem here: i'm on version 2.9.1, gta v 1180

 

ingame my emblems/decals on the story characters clothing disappear after i install the asi tools.

 

reinstall game to solve this (just uninstall asi tools or mods folder don't have any effect): install asi tools again after new game installation, game needs to be updated again by gtalauncher.exe (>800mb update), otherwise game not start because of missing socialclub: emblems are back again.

 

when i install asi tools again, embelms are gone.

[rollschuh2282 5,271]

when are we gonna get Peds.ymt support? because i wan´t add-on animals

and can you guys do it that when you copy a oiv in the game folder and you double click it, that openiv automatically opens the package installer, or able to simply drag and drop it in the openiv windows to install it?

How do I export the collisions from a vehicle of Max Payne 3??! I did manage to export the meshes L0, L1 & L2 but the collision is missing.... help

[DavidNK 3]

You forgive me for my poor English.

I love Open IV and its utility to include modifications in PEDs of the game.

It would be very interesting that the program had a searcher of files and power to find, through its searcher, the paths where the above mentioned files are, along the whole mods tree, update, etc.

Thanks my friends.

Do you have any iuuses with current UI on High DPI screens?

Sorry I'm a bit late, nope, it's fine functionality wise, but it's really blurry in 4K displays, and it's a PITA to see all those huge lists of files blurred.

This sounds like the signal is being sent as YUV 4:2:0 rather than RGB 4:4:4, which is mainly noticeable in small text and such.

[Spider-Vice 35,343]

The Windows DPI scaler is really bad on Win32 apps that are not ready to be scaled this way. The latest Windows 10 update has an option to mitigate this IIRC. For instance even on a big monitor, with correct output, there are Win32 apps that will be blurry when Windows is set to 150%, others aren't. UWP apps never are (example).

Mods, difficult. You'd need a hash of the original files.
