mataanjin 1 Posted August 7, 2009 i'll explain about adding a new car in GTA IV files you need from IV: carcol.datcargrp.datdefault.datgta.datimages.txt others file: a new car file(wft + wtd)openIV in this tutorial i'll be using test.wft & test.wtd as new car file and it replace turismo. if your new vehicle didn't have handling or carcol, you can use the one it replace, but rename the name to your car name(test) all words that's bold can be change to any name you like(don't use space) while editing always follow the format of the file( space, CAPITAL LETTERS, and everything) don't make a blank new line or delete a new line(it'll crash sometime). don't change a vehicle that's in your parking(saved car) or you will get smpa60 error. to add more than 24 vehicle you need patch 1.0.0.4(max 28). 1. edit default.dat, gta.dat and images.txt default.dat -> add "HANDLING common:/data/newhandling.dat" ##

Dvt-MedShot 2 Posted August 7, 2009 But do do you get the vehicle adding glitches in the game such as you can't play bowling, map glitches in Hove Beach and etc. (same glitches that the TLAD Bikes mod created)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chasez 101 Posted August 7, 2009 Do we really need to extract all vehicles.img file? Can't we just add cars in OpenIV and edit the dat and ide files? have you tried that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mataanjin 1 Posted August 7, 2009 ^^ you don't need to. but my open iv gets error if i just edit vehicles.img directly. But do do you get the vehicle adding glitches in the game such as you can't play bowling, map glitches in Hove Beach and etc. (same glitches that the TLAD Bikes mod created)? yeah, you can't play bowling didn't know why. but i dont see glitches. maybe it drop performance becouse you add more vehicle and a hi-res one.

mataanjin 1 Posted August 8, 2009 i found out where the error came from. it's from vehicle.ide and the way gta treat ide files. i seems that it used a fixed array for all ide file, so if you add one, the other below it will be replace(it's place) the more you add the more it's bug. for the mini game such as bowling, you still can playit, only the place is changed(again it's according to how many you add) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mataanjin 1 Posted August 15, 2009 can you add me at ym([email protected]) so we can test it on the fly can you open the wtd file using open iv? handling file that you gave me is a backup one? i dont see shelby there. when you edit vehicle.ide it's best if you just copy the one that you will replace and change its name accordingly. let's try using a same model, can you dl this car and name it audi.wtf and audi.wtd then use open iv to add this to vehicles.img(use the original vehicles.img) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exiscetti 0 Posted August 15, 2009 it'll be exciting if we can add new cars into gtaiv!!!! but still some questions here : during the very first steps i make a copy of vehicles.img (out of gtaiv dir), and successfully add audir8.wft & audir8.wtd to vehicles.img with open IV (I like that mod, too ) will this way work? (ps. if I use Open IV add .wtd & .wft files to vehicles.img in game dir directly, I get error too) and during step 8, when edit vehicles.ide, why not put the now car's line in "car" group, under yankee?

I have found a way to fix this this happens because GTA IV gives each model a ID as it loads it so when you add a new model other models get a different ID so the only way to fix this to make sure that the added model is the last to be loaded so all the other models get the original number. how to fix it To fix it you have to first create your own ide file call it what ever you what Ex:mycars (to create a ide just create a txt file and change .txt to .ide) your ide should look like this carsend make sure you put your new ide in Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data now open the gta.dat go down to the end add this IDE common:/data/youridefilename.ide you gta.dat should look like this IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/BROOK_S3.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/QUEENS_E.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/QUEENS_M.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/QUEENS_W.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/QUEENS_W2.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/BRONX_W.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/BRONX_W2.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/BRONX_E.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/EAST/BRONX_E2.IPL## Interiors#IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/INTERIORS/Test/INTERIORS.IPL## Lod Cullers#IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/GENERIC/lodcull_j.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/GENERIC/lodcull_m.IPLIPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/GENERIC/lodcull_e.IPLIDE common:/data/mycars.ide now just add cars the normal way but instead of the vehicles.ide use your ide add the cars between cars and end carscrx, crx, car, CRX, BLISTA, [email protected], [email protected]_LE1_RI1, 100, 999, 0.2272, 0.2272, 0, 5, 1.0 ,0, sportsend sorry I forgot about tdxp aftar cars end add tdxp end carsendtdxpend the tdxp is there to make sure that the game find all the needed txds when adding a new car make sure to add this between tdxp and end tdxpcarwtdname, vehshare end when your done your ide should look something like this carscrx, crx, car, CRX, BLISTA, [email protected], [email protected]_LE1_RI1, 100, 999, 0.2272, 0.2272, 0, 5, 1.0 ,0, sportslencer, lencer, car, LENCER, FEROCI, [email protected], [email protected]_LE1_RI1, 100, 999, 0.2272, 0.2272, 0, 5, 1.0 ,0, sportsendtdxpcrx, vehsharelencer, vehshareend Edited August 17, 2009 by espedito Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
