REspawn Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 G-Texture This is an early release, there is still a mountain of features and functions I want to add to this app, but I don't have time to work on it as much as I would like, so I'm going to release it and update when I can. It's pretty basic at the moment but you can create and edit textures files for the PC version of GTA IV. Any problems or feature requests please post below. If you get an error message saying something along the lines of "D3DX9_40.dll missing" this means you need to update your version of DirectX. I will keep an eye on the topic, if anyone finds a bug I will fix it as soon as possible, feature requests are very welcome. This application would not have been possible without the work of Aru, listner, steve-m and old, so big thanks to them. - Dave Version 0.1 Released: March 2nd 2009 Download 900kb Shifaau9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gforce Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 i do indeed mean Xbox .xtd files, but support for the old .txd formats would also be very welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtaps2modder Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Awersome))) Respawn, will you add Xbox360 GTAIV textures (.xtd) viewing/editing feature? Edited March 3, 2009 by gtaps2modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REspawn Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 @Gforce Would the idea be that you want to mod the console version? I hadn't really thought about it, but if you can give me a good enough reason I will look into it. @aru Yea I used to have it auto-reinit the device but if you had a load of files open it was kinda crazy, so I left it manual, can you tell me how many files you had open and if there were any specific ones it got sick over. Also I will be releasing the full sauce for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaps2modder Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 First of all, there is lots of people who has modded consoles. They are fans of GTA and it will be cool to mod GTA IV on Xbox360)) I am, for example, already modded Xbox360 version of GTAIV (we can edit practically all data like on PC exept models and textures wich are in special format). SparkIV hasnt got function of working with XTD format... Author of OpenIV said thet he dont want to add it to his tool. But I know that on all stages (in may-june) in some "hidden for usual people threads" there were posted information about XTD. REspawn, maybe you can help us? It will be really great..)

REspawn Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yea... I'm gonna take a stab in the dark on this one and assume that Microsoft do not want you messing around with the files on the hard drive, viewing the files on the game disk is fine, probably a bit of a grey area. Legal issues aside I don't have the setup to test XBox files let alone the time to write a new class to handle the different format. So with that said I'm gonna stick to the PC version and not provide editing support for XBox contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaps2modder Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 omg... I could give you some files. And also I could give you unpacked gtaiv_360."exe" extracted from default.xex... But maybe you know anything about file format? If yes, if somerthing saved in your private threads, please, post it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JostVice Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Awesome, REspawn... Going to try this as soon as I have some free time in my hands. I guess all the usual features that are in the others WTDs modifier are present. You added a mipmaps control like the one from G-TXD? And there is a way to change a DXT1 texture with a DXT5? (Basically adding alpha) Nice work again, can't wait for the rest of g-tools Edit: Missing suicide girl Edited March 3, 2009 by Jost_Vice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no slider to view the mipmaps, but you can generate them, the number of mips generated is automatic, I'm going to add a better visualizer for the mipmaps in the next update, im going to look at adding the Nvidia texture tools code to G-Texture and use it for MipMap generation as well as all the other fancy things it does with normals and such.

I hadn't really thought about it, but if you can give me a good enough reason I will look into it. the idea was indeed to mod on 360, mainly for TLAD. given you'd need the main gtaIV.xex file for 360 to decrypt the files, maybe leaving it to someone else to use your source code is a better idea.

Millenia Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Awesome! Now I can finally replace textures with higher size and use them without mipmaps, making them look a lot crisper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suction Testicle Man Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Splendid! I like G-Tools I try to open a texture and i get this error -Loaded the settings file: config\g-texture.bcf RenderSystem::RenderSystem(17) - Render system started 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 WTDFile::WTDFile(34) - Loaded WTD File with 0 textures: c:\documents and settings\user\desktop\gtaiv\lowr_diff_000_b_uni.wtd This error seems to appear when opening wtds saved by SparkIV - haven't tested with OpenIV. And in case you hadn't already noticed, you spelt 'Configure' wrong on the toolbar Nice work Dave, look forward to updates If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated.

Funky_Donkey_BG Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think the error is because its extracted from an rpf archive.And it not a dds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REspawn Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I just loaded all 119 wtd files from the playerped.rpf file and I used Spark IV to extract them, are you guys doing something different to me? Any chance you could outline the steps taken to reproduce the error? Thanks STM, will correct my spelling in the next release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Donkey_BG Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Did you see the TLAD topic? If you want ill send you some files from it-to try to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REspawn Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Did you see the TLAD topic?If you want ill send you some files from it-to try to open. Are these L&D files the app is not opening? Because if it is, thats because the XBox is using a different type of compression. This tool is for the PC only (At the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Donkey_BG Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 No,they are pc files. I just sugested that you try opening TLAD files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Voted yes, the original G-TXD doesn't work on my Vista 64 and this one does. Nice to have it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 i have a similar bug as someone else in here, when i open up a .wtd file thats been modded and saved in SparkIV i get the following error. given that G-Tex opens standard R* .wtd (PC) files perfectly fine (not found any that fail so far), i would assume that SparkIV is encrypting/saving the files with a different method. i haven't tried doing any texture modding in OpenIV yet. this is a nice tool so far, i look forward to future updates with extra features etc PS: i voted yes too ............. like you really needed a poll to get the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REspawn Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Kinda do, I don't have any interest in making content for GTA, but I do like programming, but since I do that at work all day the last thing I want to do in the evenings is do more, but if there is a need for it and people are going to use in then I'm more than happy to work on it when I can. I'm at work now (yep on a Sat, crunch time ain't no fun, well kinda is) but will have a look at this tonight, I want to add in the Nvidia code and a tool bar tonight. Thanks for bringing this to my attention guys. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch_Designs Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Your a frickin god I LOVE YOU MAN ultimate cookies for you !!!! You need to work with aru and see if he can impliment your work into sparkiv so sparkiv can delete/add/and rename files in a wtd file. BUT I'll use the hell out of yours regardless it actually lets me delete textures (too deep to explain why i want to delete textures! And to think that this topic has been here for 5 days and I didn't see it till now.) P.S. I got the d3dx9_40 error and to fix it on my vista system with directx 10 not 9 I had to not update my drivers as you mention in your readme file but had to go and find that dll online and put in in my system 32 folder and I also threw it in the folder with your program just incase lmao. Again cookies for you ! you should get a medal in these forums for such great work and I should get another one just because lmao For other people with the missing dll issue you can get the dll here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_40 (if you have lower than directx9 i would suggest updating to directx9 instead of downloading the dll and after updating if you still have the same issue then get it...)

chngdman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Whoa! A real tool for art assets for GTA IV! That's awesome! I hope that you get to realize this tool to a full texture solution. I hope that this leads the way for more art tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
