General OpenIV Discussion and Announcements

so this would fix the fked up textured when welding vertex?

O.o wth?

 

that's caused by the new calculation of UVW mapping that occurs when welding verts.. in any modeling app, it has nothing to do with GIMS, OpenFormats or OpenIV

[noelgamo]

@Good It works great dude... this saves up time of chopping high poly meshes.. cuz I have tried it and it fixed shadowplugins's bug on the WDR

and uhm maybe when you guys are finish or something.. can you add a LOCK add ons for WTD,WDRS and WDDs to avoid mod thefts.

no, i didnt mean the idiotic calculation man, thats obvious

go see the last page of city_poke SA conversion topic to IV and you will see what i mean

[noelgamo]

Hmm.. weird I exported a WDR with Shaders and I tried to resave it with openformats and I get this error

Indeed that is weird.

 

I saved mine but it didn't fix the Zmodeler 2 transparency bug (light bug) on weapons.

By the way is that Windows 7 with a new theme? it looks sexy.

Unfortunately I can't, because resources formats don't support options like that.

 

so this would fix the fked up textured when welding vertex?

openFormats can't fix any model/texture data, because not it now working with it.

By re-saving the only what you can fixed is game crashes because my resources is fully the same to game.

 

Hmm.. weird I exported a WDR with Shaders and I tried to resave it with openformats and I get this error

Maybe it because you WDR is too bad and openFormats can't re-save it. Anyway can you send to me this WDR I'll check it.

 

I saved mine but it didn't fix the Zmodeler 2 transparency bug (light bug) on weapons.

openFormtas can't fix it because errors in model data, not in resource structure.

Can you show how OpenIV looks on your theme?

[noelgamo]

@GooD.. I thnk its because of Shadow's exporter.. I deleted the wdr cuz its no good to me

heres the pic you requested anyways

EDIT: Ok I got it to resave my WDR.. by removing bump map from it..

•Improved OpenIV Resources Explorer with better WDR/WDD/WFT/WAD support.

I must be blind or something because I don't see WAD support.

 

btw all the stock vehicles use generic texture in vehshare.wtd and vehshare_truck.wtd(in vehicles.img file), could you make so that when we click on vehicle.wft it would automaticly open with both of these files?

[GooD-NTS]

 

•Improved OpenIV Resources Explorer with better WDR/WDD/WFT/WAD support.

This is mean when you open these files in Resources Explorer they will have better structure.

But you really can't open WAD files in Resources Explorer by using openFormats.exe, but it possible in OpenIV.

This is already work exactly what you say. Just try open any car.wft in OpenIV 0.9.1

I have the latest OpenIV but vehicle.wft opens only with it's own vehicle.wtd file.

 

btw if there's a misunderstanding here, open ambulance.wft for example and you'll see that there's no texture for windows, interior, exterior or engine but when you add ([+] add texture) vehshare.wtd and vehshare_truck.wtd all generic textures appear.

[GooD-NTS]

This is short from 0.9.1:

OpenIV load vehshare.wtd and vehshare_truck.wtd automatically for all wft files.

But OpenIV load it form "{GAME_PATH}\pc\models\cdimages\vehicles.img" where {GAME_PATH} is location what you select when OpenIV first start.

If you don't select right path to the game this ability can't work.

If you made all right and vehicles.img on the right place and constants vehshare.wtd and vehshare_truck.wtd, but OpenIV don't load then it this is bug.

[nkjellman]

Do you think open IV will ever support WPL, and GXT editing?

[GooD-NTS]

nkjellman, for GXT already exist many editors.

WPL is map placements files, I think will be better to edit it in MAP Editor or in 3D Max (by using GIMS), but not in OpenIV.

Actually I believe that there is only one editor for the new version of GXT that was introduced in a patch (I think the patch before the release of EFLC). The editor isn't very stable and hasn't been updated in quite some time.

yep. both would be nice, an easy GXT editor and wpl for small corrections like placement tool it's my mind

[ferocious q]

umm hi, stupid noob here but can anyone tell me if I can change the radio station music files (or any multi-channel music files) with this??? And if so, how??

no. only a few sounds can be changed by a tool called IVaud or GTAIVaud (actual version is 1.1.5)

[TheChopShop]

I've gotten 2 corrupted img files so far effn with my map mod.. blah blah blah

 

edit- my bad, it's the GIMS exported strbig0 file (amongst other GIMS related things), it's got nothn to do with OIV/OFs

great to see you add a wpl viewer (and editor?) xD really awesome, it makes it easier for use, we only ahve to sue one tool then not 10

At the current time is only viewer.

nice. never saw that before, when you're done it's the first all-in-one-tool for gta

OpenIV is already like that. Now (I mean 0.9.1) OpenIV can do many things:

• IMG3/RPF2 Archive editing (include creating new)
• WTD Textures editing (Most powerful at current moment)
• SCO Decompiling
• Audio playback
• Export/Import openFormats collisions/textures.
• Viewing of most common files in IV, like .dat, .ipl and others
• Cool 3D Viewers of WDR/WDD/WFT models and WBN/WBD collisions
• Support for all (and future too) IV/EfLC versions and patch's
• Global search in game content/archives.
• Nice Aero glass UI.
• ...list to be continued...

 

So, OpenIV/openFormats WDR/WDD/WFT formats will be support 53 shaders, for some of them will be few variation by using sps files.

Here is a list:

that's a dream. allmsot all shaders, that's huge progress and thanks for the list u made

[pmillett]

I'm sorry for asking but what is next for GIMMS? I can't understand russian and can't be bothered to translate every last sentence.

[TheChopShop]

excellent list of shader support GooD, and being that you're sharing your work with Doomer as far as data formats, we can expect that list to be supported in GIMS upcoming wdr export yes? *crosses fingers*

[GooD-NTS]

 

that's a dream. allmsot all shaders, that's huge progress

Thats all shaders what game used on stock WDR/WDD/WFT files. I made it by auto scan all IV/EfCL WDR/WDD/WFT models.

Yes, thats shaders will be supported in ODR/ODD export in GIMS.

 

I'm sorry for asking but what is next for GIMMS?

This is my loose translation of 3Doomer post:

 

after V1.42:

--------------------

+ Minimal supported max version now is 3D MAX 9 SP1

+ Fixed LOD Generator

+ Fixed LOD Manager

+ Import ODR(WDR) Skeleton (.skel)

+ Fixed IDE and WPL converters

+ Fixed WPL Exporter

+ Auto update for GIMS modules (request Internet connection)

+ Change log now placed here: "scripts\Startup\GIMS\ChangeLog.log"

+ LOD Indexes exports separately from WPL params
