Hi !

 

For the billboards, you can ask on this thread, 'cause here it's for textures, not for ENB smile.gif

And to make a screenshot, you have to use a software like Fraps icon14.gif

PacketOverload_x64bit
I hope so, and I also hope EFLC will be supported.

Of course its supported, the game runs on the exact same map (excluding clubs) so it should probaly work with EFLC

njkellman ported the EFLC interiors to IV but the download is prohibited. Find it on moddb, it's huge and looks epic. Trying to find the time to try it.

Because it distributes Rockstar content from a DLC pack which I am guessing in bulk, is against the rules monocle.gif Its a hefty download too, like 8GB's on or about mercie_blink.gificon14.gifwink.gif

 

Ontop of that pack, all I really want is the disco + chicks + dancing component from EFLC. The rest of EFLC just kinda irritated me and not in a orly.gif way lol.gif

Excuse me, where can I install the "Mail Box" texture? Thank you. smile.gif

Hi, here's some instructions DKT gave me via youtube a while back...

 

--------------------------------

 

Phoneboxes:-

http://www.mediafire.com/?oh72oamj6ft9d

 

Mailboxes:-

http://www.mediafire.com/?2x84hu503ctax20

 

Paperboxes:-

http://www.mediafire.com/?zg5ceray10s1ow6

 

Instructions:

Using OpenIV - http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388289

Download the wtd file.

Run OpenIV,

Browse to the following directory

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\data\maps\props\street

 

Double-click on amenitie.img

 

Goto New, Import Open Formats, Texture Dictionary,

 

Now browse to the directory you downloaded the file and select the wtd, save, rebuild if needed.

 

This should work for Phone, Mail, and Paperboxes.

I wanted to ask this: why in the world filesize of the ext_veg.img doesnt change even if i decrease texture size to 25%? I mean, if some texture = 4 mbs, i can decrease it down to 500kb(overall, in the folder) when i improt it back it still says file is 4mb. What the hell?

I had the same problem.

With OpenIV.

Delete the file itself, And re-inject it.

If you don't, It might do somewhat of a overlay on old file. So it combines both files & gives a massive size for nothing.

Had the same problem with peds, that's why.

Just delete the files and re-put one inside it. cleaner.

DP..... in SparkIV you just do what you have to to your file, save, rebuild if needed then hit the browse button again and it will report the NEW size... just needs refreshing.....smile.gif

Glad I could help :-)

Wow nice job there. Did Ice's reply worked for you?

Worked tounge.gif

MasterKontrol

Nope, file size itself stay unchanged. even if ill decrease its real size by half, it will be 45 mbs like it was before. But if i do like Ice said - it works.

also, rebuilding doesnt work, as it says file doesnt need rebuilding.
