thehambone Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) GTA IV Pigeon LocatorVersion 1.2.1 DescriptionTo celebrate the 10 year anniversary of GTA IV, I've decided to create a handy little tool that will show all remaining pigeons in a GTA IV save on a map of Liberty City.Features Plots all remaining and exterminated pigeons on a map of Liberty City.

thehambone Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Version 1.0.1 Released! I've released a patch that makes the program look sharper on high-DPI displays. Previously, if you were running Windows with DPI scaling >100%, certain components would look blurry/jaggy or the map zoom wouldn't work correctly. Use the GitHub link to get the new version for now. GTAGarage is still undergoing maintenance so I can't update the tool there.

You need to use PS3 Bruteforce Save Data to decrypt the save before loading it. RAGE.SAV is the save file. If you still can't get it to work, feel free to upload your files to MediaFire or Google Drive and post the link.

I've done 3 run throughs looking for #200, have 199 so far, and it is eluding me. I'd really prefer to not have to do another run through and I found your tool. Super helpful, thanks so much. I'd love to use it to once and for all finish this now over ten year long project of collectibles/100%ing GTA IV. However, I have a mac, and am not super savvy, not sure how to load my Xbox 360 save to utilize the application. Any tips or guidance? Would really appreciate the help!

Unfortunately, this tool only works on Windows. If you can manage to extract the save from your 360, I can check the file for you. I've never owned a 360 so I don't know exactly how to transfer saves, but this guide looks promising.

You are the ultimate homie. I really appreciate that. I am extracting my save onto a usb key right now, so let me know how to transfer it to you. I really appreciate it and you are seriously coming in clutch. Please let me know if there is a way I can repay you. I saw in your profile picture on Github that you're sitting behind a drum kit, do you play? If so, I would absolutely love to hear you cut it up. I also play drums, and I happen to run a small record label (we just released our 100th record), and maybe that could be somehow play a part in a way I could repay you :). Let's be in touch, and let me know the best way to contact you. This will save me so much time and is super nice of you. thehambone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to access it with a friend who has a windows now, and it seems that we can't load the file either--we tried using the XTAF Explorer and seem to have run into the same issue you spoke of. Unfortunately, no, there was only the content folder which led to 00000000000(16 zeros), then the save game, and it was impossible to mount in the XTAF Explorer. Something must be going wrong on the 360's end. I'll keep trying and let you know if I figure it out. Let me know if there is any ideas of what to try. I will be sure to donate, and excited to talk drums! thehambone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himeros Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I had 1 last flying rat after killing all of them in Alderney and got frustrated that I had to go over them from the start, and you saved me.

thehambone Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 @ApeTheGreatApe Seems you didn't actually decrypt the save files. You need to right-click on the save entry in the list and select "Decrypt All Files", then feed RAGE.SAV into the Pigeon Locator. Spoiler Anyways, here's your missing Pigeon: Cheers!

I have one pigeon left and it's the only thing stopping me from getting the 100% achievement. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance.
