Add New Car GTA IV

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"

gta.dat -> add "IDE common:/data/newveh.ide","IDE common:/data/newveh1.ide" and so forth as needed.

2. create a new img file using open iv, name it newveh.img

3. add new car files(wtd & wft) to newveh.img(if car name have been used in vehicles.img, you need to rename your new car)

4. edit carcol.dat -> add a new line, either in car3 section or car4 section.

washington,	0,0,12, 4,4,12, 6,6,12, 10,10,12, 21,21,12, 23,23,12, 25,25,12, 33,33,35, 37,37,32, 49,49,63, 52,52,56, 54,54,55, 65,65,63, 67,67,118, 70,70,65, 98,98,90, 16,16,76, 9,9,91, 15,15,93, 19,19,93, 13,13,80,yankee,  15,112,1, 26,78,1,test,  0,0,1, 35,35,127, 1,1,3, 17,17,34, 21,21,21, 31,31,33, 38,38,30, 52,52,50, 69,69,63, 72,72,63, 81,81,63, 89,89,89, 95,95,90,

5. create newhandling.dat and newveh.ide.

newhandling.dat(if you make mistakes when you spawn it, it looks correct but when you touch it, it fall to the ground)

TEST 1500.0 7.0 85 0.0 -0.06 -0.18 0.0 5 0.34 1.0 225.0 0.34 0.65 0.7 35.0 1.50 1.50 13.5 0.12 0.48 2.0 1.3 1.3 0.12 -0.13 0.0 0.5 1.0 0.3 3.4 7 0.0 110000 440010 1 1

newveh.ide(if you make mistakes your game will crash on loading[error SMPA60])

carstest, test, car, TEST, COMET, [email protected],	NULL, 1,  999, 0.2621, 0.2621, 0,	5, 1.0, 0, noboot+sportsendtxdpvehshare_truck, vehshareend

6. edit cargrp.dat(so ped will use new vehicle)-> add test after each turismo

oracle, fortune, uranus, vigero, primo, admiral, df8, fxt, feroci, e109, pinnacle, habanero, sentinel, schafter, rebla, supergt,  pcj, perennial, landstalker, faggio, comet, test, coquette, bus,   # POPCYCLE_GROUP_MIDTOWN

7. place in common\data

carcol.dat

cargrp.dat

default.dat

gta.dat

images.txt

newveh.ide

newhandling.dat

8. place in pc\models\cdimages

newveh.img

i'm not good at explain i guess. if you didn't understand just ask here

and maybe someone can explain more better

known bugs:

depend on how many vehicle you add, there is a bug(minigame, carwash and maybe other place are screwed)(fixed)

if you find any bug just post it, so i can update this tut.(maybe someone can solve it)

i have try to post there, but it didn't shown up.

feel free to move this thread

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)?

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?

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.

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)

August 14, 2009

Hi... Thank you for the tuto...

But i have a little problem and i don't know why... Can you help me please ?

I try with 3 different cars but it's always the same...

gta: 1.0.4.0, some car already install.

sorry for mi bad english, i'm french

August 14, 2009

it seems that your vehicle.ide is wrong.

what is your line that you add to vehicle.ide?

August 14, 2009

thank you for your help

strange, i got it working. where did you place this new line?

i found another way though

you can edit default.dat and add a new "IDE common:/data/newvec.ide"

## Object types#IDE common:/data/default.ideIDE common:/data/vehicles.ideIDE common:/data/peds.ideANIMGRP common:/data/animgrp.datHANDLING common:/data/handling.datVEHICLEEXTRAS common:/data/VehicleExtras.datPLAYER platform:/models/cdimages/playerped.rpfPEDGRP common:/data/pedgrp.datCARGRP common:/data/cargrp.datRADIO common:/data/radiohud.datRADIOLOGOS independent:/textures/radio_hud.itdWEAPONINFO common:/data/weaponinfo.xmlTHROWNWEAPONINFO common:/data/thrownweaponinfo.xmlPEDPERSONALITY common:/data/pedpersonality.datMELEEANIMS common:/data/meleeanims.datACTIONTABLE common:/data/action_table.csvEXPLOSIONFX common:/data/effects/explosionFx.datVEHOFF common:/data/vehOff.csvFMENUFILE common:/data/frontend_menus.xmlLBDATAFILE common:/data/leaderboards_data.xmlLBICONSFILE independent:/textures/Leaderboards.itdIDE common:/data/newvec.ideHTML http:

then you create newvec.ide with content like this(follow the format)

carsyour car ideend

is it fix your problem?

i have encountered the same problem before, but i forget what is wrong.

August 14, 2009

strange, i got it working. where did you place this new line?

I tried:

-as indicated

-at the end of cars

-and alphabetically

but each time same result

I tried the second method (create newvec.ide) but same result

I think i should I re-installed gta

no, you don't need to reinstall gta. as i have encountered the same problem before but i fix it.

can you show me your vehicles.ide and handling.dat?

when you open vehicles.img can you see bmwm3? can you open its wtd?

add me at ym([email protected])

Edited August 15, 2009 by mataanjin

August 15, 2009

I try with another car: Shelby, same result

can you show me your vehicles.ide and handling.dat?

link on megaupload

when you open vehicles.img can you see bmwm3? can you open its wtd?

Yes, it looks good

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)

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?

as long as vehicles.img not corrupted it should work.

if you add a new line after yankee and you have bikes in your park(saved) before you add car

it will be shifted once/so. so when you load game again you will see your zombie being replaced.

you can try it though, but if you often disable/enable this maybe your savegame can be corrupted.

that's why i place it at the the end

August 15, 2009

sorry I don't be at home today

I try with original gta files and the audi r8 but same result

Hi...thank you man, I got it working!!

I do as what you said (method 1), just now I met a car on the street driven by a ped!!!

but can you tell me how to spawn a car? If a use iv control center by saracoglu , I can only choose what the game already have. if i type the name "audir8" in "keyboard shortcuts" (#47) , and click apply, i just get a error says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

anyway, good job man!

open consol(~) than type

spawn audir8

you can change audir8 to any car name you want to spawn.

to oen consol you need scripthook and scripthookdotnet

What's your GTA version ?

my gta version is 1.0.1.3.

my OpenIV is 0.9.202.

i'm using win 7 64bit -> but it shouldn't matter i think

can you replace car? not adding it.

August 17, 2009

my GTA version is 1.0.3.0 (I downdated from 1.0.4.0)

My OS is windows 7 x64

my Open IV version is 0.9.202

August 17, 2009

you don't need to. but my open iv gets error if i just edit vehicles.img directly.

but i dont see glitches. maybe it drop performance becouse you add more vehicle and a hi-res one.

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
