General OpenIV Discussion and Announcements

[simkas]

is this file edited before in spark ?

Nope.

I just found out I was wrong there. It was edited in SparkIV before and it seems that OpenIV just crashes when trying to open a .wtd file that's been edited in SparkIV before. Would it be possible to fix that?

[GooD-NTS]

 

I just tried inaserting a dds and got an error - this is not a png, is that normal?

Yes is normal, because in current time you can insert only png images.

Yes, in 0.9.1 this will be fixed.

[simkas]

Uh, it seems that OpenIV can't save any changes I make to the m_y_multiplayer.wtd file in componentpeds.img. I try to import a different texture, use the change levels function or whatever else, I press the save button, the command prompt says it has saved, but when I open up that same wtd file again, it's all the original stuff, like all the changes I've done were just ignored.

[Gforce]

+10 , it would be good if you could support Xbox 360 files too.

 

i got my 360 files to PC by linking the HDD to the PC, so it's not really an illegal way to mod the 360 files imho.

[gtaps2modder]

No matter legal or not, anyway viewing files is LEGAL

Not if it includes reverse engineering copyrighted code to do so

[gtaps2modder]

AES key on Xbox360 is the same as on PC.

 

If there is any other cryptography key, it can be readed from default.xex

[GooD-NTS]

Support for GTAIV.exe version 1.0.3.0 (1.0.2.1)

 

To add support for new version GTA IV (1.0.3.0, 1.0.2.1 (RUS)) just save this file (Right click and “Save as”) to OpenIV folder.

 

Or you can download full archive again: OpenIV 0.9 (build 202)

You can not log into windows live without installing the update which means no online play! You have to have the update to play online which means no mods installed which means no need for this program besides openiv is apperently against the policies of rockstar which means it should not even be in these forums according to this topic: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=403856

Modding a single player game is still not legal! Read the user agreement when you load the game it says do not change the game! Modding is not legal and neither is the tools that allow it so why is it allowed in the forums if it is against Rockstar policies? Rockstar does not want mods online or offline face it your wrong!

I'm going to quote my other post.

 

I know that he's been banned but I'll still explain. If you read the EULA of just about any game, it basically says you can't mod the game. Are they really going to come after you if you mod the game? No. Then why do they put that in the EULA? Simple. To cover their asses if they get sued over some kind of mod. They can just say the person violated the EULA and the charges have to be dropped.

As for Rockstar not wanting mods in single player, you know how easy it would have been for Rockstar to apply it's multiplayer block to the single player game? Very easy.

I'm having a bit of a problem with this amazing tool (unlike before / i get same type errors with sparkiv too) while trying to edit textures, using build 202 & made compatible for 1.0.3.0 :

 

 

 

EDID:

 

Also, when i close the tool after not being able to modify texture files, i'll get this error message:

Ok, I know about this error (with zLib) and I already fix it in new version (in development). just wait for new release.

 

 

Tried to replace some texture files in .wtd but it didnt actually replace anything and after saving whole .img file, its corrupted.

In what .img you try replace .wtd?

and what .wtd you trying to edit?

 

 

could u add support for drag n drop?

yep, but it already done. You can extract files just drag into your desktop.

I think it was only some random error with OpenIV...

 

but... i edited w_glock.wtd in weapons.img, i have already replaced w_glock.wdr with amb_nailgun.wdr in SparkIV and its working in game, even in multiplayer but that small icon on top right corner is missing coz amb_nailgun.wtd only has texture file for model.

 

so...

 

I copied w_eagle.wtd and changed file name to w_glock.wtd and replaced original glock texture with new one. Problem is that when i replace textures in w_glock.wtd, only file itself is replaced not file name.

 

in game it looks like this

 

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll163/D...ots/nailgun.jpg

 

Weapon is textured as white coz file name in w_glock.wtd is " bm_deserteagle.dds regular 7 " but nailgun model needs texture called " bm_amb_nailgun.dds regular 7 " however im not 100% sure that model file in game is textured correctly even if file name is correct coz havent tested this yet!

 

* * * * * *

EDIT: I did some magical tricks and now its all fine... i downloaded G-Texture tool from this website to handle .wtd files and DDS converter 2 from filefront to convert between .dds and jpeg, png, or many other formats.

Hey, GooD-NTS, i found out my problem was that the texture files i tried to change were put to desktop (still kinda weird as that shouldn't be a problem) anyways, sorry if i caused you any problems

 

EDID:

so much of a victory, i was already able to change mobile phone skin but as soon as i tried to change the scope texture of w_rifle.wtd in weapons.img with G-Texture, i've got this (once again Zlib error):

 

RSCFile::readRSCFileData(125) - Decompression of file data failed, zlib error: Z Data Error

WTDFile::loadFile(112) - Unable to load WTD File, unable to load file data
