[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Hey guys,

 

finally i got it working with the help of Prince-Link.

The problem was just that i had old graphic drivers, installed new beta graphic drivers and it worked.

 

Shadow Mapper Extended guide.

1. Install newest graphic card drivers

2. Make sure your GTA IV folder is NOT set to Read Only

3. Download Java JRE here and install it.

4. Download Java JCE Files here and copy them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

5. Unpack shadowmapper and copy it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

6. Open Notepad and copy in the following:

 

java -Xmx1024m -jar Shadow-Mapper.jar

 

and save it as START.bat or something else, but it need to be ".bat"

 

Thanks to oinkoink for this.   

7. Make a shortcut to your .bat and you can set the icon of shadowmapper and you're ready to start it

8. Start the shortcut and click on "Add Install" and select yoru "GTAIV.exe"

9. Give it a name and click on "Select" and it will load the files.

10. Have Fun with Shadow Mapper

 

Screens by me:

 

As you can see, there is something wrong with textures, it think Shadow Mapper has problems to show dds with alpha channels.

Also the water looks weird in some places.

Might you can fix this little things, and Shadow Mapper will be even better than it is yet.

It's by far one of the best GTA IV tools ever released, keep up the good work, Prince-Link

 

Take those for your hard work

you awesome!! its work! big thanks!

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

No problem, just wanted to help as good as i can.

I hope noone have problems now anymore.

@Prince-Link, may you can use some of my guide on the first page

[..GhosT]

One thing is love, is that you added the Water.

 

I hated it that there wasnt even Water in MEd for SA.

[Coldkilla]

Alright I give up. I went through every page and suggestion in this thread to make the program work and it doesn't, stops at 39%...

 

 

The only reason I wanted to use the mod was to find the object hash # for the cargo (enterable) ship in the Broker Harbor (Just north of the Broker Bridge). The name of the ship in-game is "Platypus" and I want to be able to spawn it with an object spawner..

 

Is it possible to find object #'s with the shadow mapper? If so, can anyone tell me the name of the ship?

 

Thanks!

Oh my god! Now it work , but when i move mouse in render window, camera go up. Is it possible to fix it?

And Prince-Link, can you add option: Extract Object, like in MeD with textures? It will be very useful.

I am under windows 7 x64 and x64 version of shadown map does not even open! I copied the file JCE creates a folder. bat with the order. jar! but nothing works! thank you for your help !

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

@Coldkilla: I don't know if it's possible to spawn objects, however the Platypus is not just one object, it has a lot model files, so you could edit it with ZModeler and make all .wdr's of the ship together and create one .wdr out of it, it's models are in "pc/data/maps/jersey/nj_liberty.img, it's names start with "et_shipin", btw i found it with IVTracker

 

@City_Poke912: Double click on .wpl you have rendered and move with "W-A-S-D", like in every action game, and remember don't render to much

Yea I was afraid of that. I was able to spawn multiple parts of the ship and was just frantically looking around for a composite model. I don't think it'll be worth all that trouble for what I'm trying to accomplish - guess I'll just use an LOD model thats 90% stripped down.

[supermortalhuman]

Do you remember they had a ship moving in the opening credits? I think there is probably a single cutscene ship for you

yes the 32 work but when I click render after you have selected nj_liberty ... nothing appears: (

 

why the 64 version does not smith? while the 32 yes?

 

I am under Windows7 x64

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

I've Windows 7 x64 and Shadow Mapper x86 works just great here.

[LeetWoovie]

Anything in pc/DATA/MAPS/ won't render for me. I click 'render', nothing happens. Nothing gets rendered. I am running a Steam copy of the game.

 

Edit: It may be because it was set to read only. I could've sworn I had fixed that already. I'll try again and repost.

 

Edit 2: No, still having a problem. Only the pc/DATA/MAPS/ don't load. Most, if not everything else, works fine.

Try to install DirectX9, it has helped me to run some games on Windows 7, cause in Windows 7 DX9 Libariers are deleted i think.

If you Vista you can install it too, but i think DX9 is already in included.

You have also installed the newest graphic card driver?

[LeetWoovie]

Yes, I have the newest everything. This isn't my PCs fault, I promise. When I check the box and click render, it doesn't even attempt to do anything. NOTHING HAPPENS. I don't think it if finding the file correctly or something.

[nkjellman]

Im going to try this on my desktop. Anyway, any one who has this working, do you have any maps you wana upload. Its your chance to release the first user made map for GTA 4.

Custom Collisions are not supported yet

[nkjellman]

I thought that was only for costome added objects and that objects that are in the original game had colls. My bad.

[Shadow-Link]

Did you try using the OinkOink fix with the 32 bit version like I suggested?

 

@LeetWoovie: Might be the steam version then.. does the console output anything when you render one of those wpl files?

Awesome! That finally worked! Guess Link needs to fix that

 

Thanks Slayer!!!!

 

But there are still some stuff that doesn't render NJ_01 is an example, roads and some buildings don't appear.

[hristobg]

Prince-Link, can you make this tool to work without needed Java installed.

Because I was installed it, but when I follow SLAYERMAGGOT's "tutorial", and when I "merge", ie

copy the shadowmapper files to Java's files, the Java crash.. and it's needed reinstall.

And I cannot reinstall it, because it's "already installed and don't needed of reinstall" <- or something like that

Sorry for my EN and I hope to understand me

[Spider-Vice]

Oh and I forgot to add, when I render some maps on it I still get out of memory errors even with Slayer's trick, but only more complex maps like MANHAT, etc.
