GooD-NTS 2,117 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) OpenIV Team presents Liberty City in GTA VToday we are proud to announce the project we worked on since initial GTA V release. Liberty City is finally coming into GTA V in all its glory. We have a little teaser trailer for you: The Liberty City will not replace Los Santos or Blaine County, but appears across the sea. Using the power of OpenIV and openFormats, we was able to bring Liberty City right into GTA V map. More details coming soon, as for now we have prepared short F.A.Q:F.A.Q Q: Why?A: Because, why not?Q: When it will be released?A: Spring 2017.Q: How can I get access to early preview or beta version?A: There is no private beta or something like this. As soon as mod will have proper state, it will be released to public.Q: The Liberty City is big, how much I must download?A: Because Liberty City takes a lot of space and we do not have rights to distribute it as our work, we decided to make this mod as an automatic convertor that converts Liberty City from your copy of GTA IV into your copy of GTA V.Q: Legal issues.A: See the answer above.Q: How this will work?A: You will need to download a convertor tool with some additional assets. This tool will convert Liberty City from your copy of GTA IV into GTA V.The converter tool will create a single player DLC pack, which will be installed into your GTA V.Q: How long the conversion process will take?A: Depends on your hardware, we will provide more information with first release.Q: What are the requirements for convertor tool?A: First of all the convertor tool requires a lot of free space on your hard drive. The OpenIV is also required because the convertor tool uses it during conversion process.Q: Does Liberty City requires unofficial multiplayer clients?A: Of course, not.Q: Will this tool work with Episodes from Liberty City?A: Yes.Q: Can I play with this mod Online with my friends?A: No, you will not be able to play online because Rockstar Games does not allows mods in GTA Online.Q: Will I get banned in GTA Online with this mod?A: With a high probability, yes.Q: How can I help?A: In a future, we will need help with creating some arts, additional assets, testing etc. We will announce it separately.Q: Any other ways to help or give you motivation?A: As always, you can make a donation, but it is not mandatory. Also, follow us on social networks and watch our YouTube videos with disabled Ad Block.Screenshots Links *** Edited January 26, 2017 by GooD-NTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeGeneratorX 591 Posted January 1, 2017 LC map mod will release first than a SP DLC for GTA V. Congratulations, Rockstar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razed- 1,627 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Good stuff. Going to enjoy taking screenshots there Edited January 1, 2017 by Razed- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_CP_ 8,985 Posted January 1, 2017 Anyway, how about limits? Editing gameconfig.xml is enough to run full LC map without any tricky ASI hacks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 2,867 Posted January 1, 2017 Everything looks so brilliant guys. Good Luck with the project. Can't wait for more progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legomanarthur 1,193 Posted January 1, 2017 Looks promising! also, will this use the latest version of LC? With Maisonette 9, the Lost MC Clubhouse etc...? Because I don't have EFLC separately installed on my computer, I have the downloadable versions from GFWL, will this mod be able to locate the files of the two expansions? (if it uses the latest map changes of course) If we don't get LC as a DLC like it is rumored, this mod will be a perfect substitution! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Arrow 758 Posted January 1, 2017 I'm guessing there is still no ped paths and vehicle paths for this map, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenton 661 Posted January 1, 2017 Terrific! I hope MrClickbaitWTF won't take a look on this so he won't post another sh*tty clickbait video, I hope you can finish it as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GooD-NTS 2,117 Posted January 1, 2017 quick question, will it be a direct copy or there will be some retexturing/prop placement tooMostly yes, but we will add some new assets because GTA V is more advanced than GTA IV.Also, we have some ideas to replace some models, for example static GTA IV flags replace with cloth based one from GTA V. But, of course, we will need help from community with creating new assets. 2018, mark my word.2028 for sure. will Liberty City have Traffic and peds? I'm guessing there is still no ped paths and vehicle paths for this map, right?The first version will lack of ped paths and vehicle paths. Anyway, how about limits? Editing gameconfig.xml is enough to run full LC map without any tricky ASI hacks?Yes, currently we don't have any additional ASI hacks.But, they likely will be required to put paths, minimap and other stuff in game. Because I don't have EFLC separately installed on my computer, I have the downloadable versions from GFWL, will this mod be able to locate the files of the two expansions? (if it uses the latest map changes of course)We all have Steam versions so it was never tested with such config. We will look into that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider-Vice 28,914 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) You've done what Rockstar was probably going to do for SP DLC, yet they didn't do sh*t. This is to say that you've done a f*cking amazing job, props! I'm sure this'll shake a few minds internally. Edited January 1, 2017 by Spider-Vice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

universetwisters 30,024 Posted January 1, 2017 Finally, something we've all been waiting for. Who do the donations go to out of wondering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NTAuthority 2,540 Posted January 1, 2017 Yes, currently we don't have any additional ASI hacks. But, they likely will be required to put paths, minimap and other stuff in game. .. except that is all data-driven, too, unless you're past the 8192 bound for the GTA systems?

BlackScout 6,024 Posted January 1, 2017 Oh, a question. Would you take map additions? (Improvement wise) like for example: An interior that was cut from the game, but remade with quality using reference from a portfolio, by a good modeler...? Cough Mega, Bank, IV beta thread cough. Or maybe, something less advanced, such as increased amount of polygons in buildings, extra extrudes on bland surfaces and whatnot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollschuh2282 3,106 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) when I use eflc, will i have then the updates from tlad and tbogt? and are we gonna have the possibility to visit for example the GTA 4 cutscene interiors? Edited January 1, 2017 by rollschuh2282 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash_735 14,026 Posted January 1, 2017 Just a bit of advice, you've enabled ad sense on your video BUT you've also got this video auto-playing for anyone who runs OpenIV (Video opens in browser), this is NOT ALLOWED and against policy because it's used to inflate views of both commercial and your video and if reported can lead to a termination of your channel.

It could be interesting to do. You, an openIV have been doing an exceptionally good work for the GTA over the course of many years. Thanks for that.

Polaco 761 Posted January 1, 2017 Oh that's just great guys! By the way: can you make it, in a separate folder with activation by a .exe? So, we could enable/disable whenever we want, and play Online with no risk of being banned, since no mods are being loaded together with original game.

Frank.s 831 Posted January 1, 2017 I love this tool. Not just because it converts IV but also because we should be able to export our own maps to IV and then convert them to V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
