It must work (if it's not a vehicle model).

 

I'm also going to make some researches for PSP and DS versions later, so maybe we'll have tools for these platforms too.

Alsoalso: importing resources must be an easy task too, however, not sure if anyone is interested in CTW modding

Are you serious, DK? People have tried to mod CTW for years. Your tool is amazing.

[Blackbird88 1,675]

First/Third person mod would be so cool even if it'd look silly.

[DK22Pac 2,564]

Not much progress for this moment.

Added basic support for PSP version.

Amazing work just as always. With your tool and vision there's a huge chance CTW modding will catch on.

[R4gN0r0K 1,663]

f*cking awesome man! and the ability to import textures would be awesome as well!

I signed up JUST to comment on this! 3 years back I started up a small engine project to try and recreate a similiar effect to Chinatown Wars! Left it hanging for some while and might just have it still. Few bugs to fix and I might be able to put everything together with help from this tool! Will post some pics of the engine later.

[TheVladonPro 378]

And it is possible to open somehow models in 3ds max together with textures?

[DK22Pac 2,564]

SteveCrowz, try to provide more information next time. I didn't get what did you mean.

TheVladonPro, you must extract needed textures.

Well done, DK22Pac!
Hope you will add edition functions for the mobile CTW games.

[PhillBellic 24,578]

I hope a fan made PC version comes out of this eventually.

Have no ability to check it on Win10, but what do you mean with 'nothing'? Does the program start for you? Did you open any file (File > Open ...)?

If there will be people with real interest in this, I'm going to help them with everything I know and found.

Download that .dll then, lol.

[DK22Pac 2,564]

The tool requires some D3DX libraries for exporting/writing PNG images.

Didn't work on a tool for months, have no idea about its future, so I decided to document basic things about CTW file formats on the wiki. More info can be found here.

[Nayrox 88]

Not much progress for this moment.

Added basic support for PSP version.

Could you please publish the Beta that supports the PSP Files, I want to export some billboard textures like the one from the Turismo for the german GTA Wiki.

Great tool you got here

Working fine and stuff. Now I can spend my time doing CTW styled maps on 3ds Max when I'm bored!

Wow. Good Thing, i searched it for a long time, maybe i'll use it.

[Viv1d-Shadows 57]

Hey @DK22Pac do you think you can add an import and repack function? Really interested in looking at editing some files in the game

 

Edit:

Somehow the extractor doesn't work for ROM.WAD

[Northelll 9]

Thanks. I hope on a full support psp ver. in future update.

[SonofUgly 360]

If you ever pick this up again, .res file support would be appreciated.

Some days ago I extracted the map models (from android ver): Here is if anyone is interested in convert it to other gta games.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Bw9O-_3DW_LqrHPiQpRrx1xnPGgTV8W/view?usp=sharing

There is more than 200 thousand 3d models. To convert to another gta you need to attach those models in a single one, then split in bigger pieces. It will be a boring task (that's why I din't ported it to SA)

Hey, are you interested in helping me mod GTA CTW, or help me in anything, I am doing progress, I discovered the player’s xyz addresses and offsets, the static addresses, also I am trying to discover the addresses for the draw distance, I am looking for it with Ghidra through Static Analysis, and trying to find it in Cheat Engine.
