Add New Car GTA IV, Not Replacing

[SnH Firefighter]

Thanks to MataanjinOriginal Copy (http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=420911&st=0) For this info



i'll explain about adding a new car in GTA IV



files you need from IV:

CODE



carcol.dat

cargrp.dat

default.dat

gta.dat

images.txt







others file:

CODE



a new car file(wft + wtd)

openIV





in this tutorial i'll be using test.wft & test.wtd as new car file and it replace turismo.

if your new vehicle didn't have handling or carcol, you can use the one it replace, but rename the name to your car name(test)

all words that's bold can be change to any name you like(don't use space)

while editing always follow the format of the file( space, CAPITAL LETTERS, and everything) don't make a blank new line or

delete a new line(it'll crash sometime).

don't change a vehicle that's in your parking(saved car) or you will get smpa60 error.

to add more than 24 vehicle you need patch 1.0.0.4(max 28).



1. edit default.dat, gta.dat and images.txt

default.dat -> add "HANDLING common:/data/newhandling.dat"

2. create a new img file using open iv, name it newveh.img

3. add new car files(wtd & wft) to newveh.img(if car name have been used in vehicles.img, you need to rename your new car)

4. edit carcol.dat -> add a new line, either in car3 section or car4 section.

CODE

washington, 0,0,12, 4,4,12, 6,6,12, 10,10,12, 21,21,12, 23,23,12, 25,25,12, 33,33,35, 37,37,32, 49,49,63, 52,52,56, 54,54,55, 65,65,63, 67,67,118, 70,70,65, 98,98,90, 16,16,76, 9,9,91, 15,15,93, 19,19,93, 13,13,80,

yankee, 15,112,1, 26,78,1,

test, 0,0,1, 35,35,127, 1,1,3, 17,17,34, 21,21,21, 31,31,33, 38,38,30, 52,52,50, 69,69,63, 72,72,63, 81,81,63, 89,89,89, 95,95,90,





5. create newhandling.dat and newveh.ide.

newhandling.dat(if you make mistakes when you spawn it, it looks correct but when you touch it, it fall to the ground)

CODE



TEST 1500.0 7.0 85 0.0 -0.06 -0.18 0.0 5 0.34 1.0 225.0 0.34 0.65 0.7 35.0 1.50 1.50 13.5 0.12 0.48 2.0 1.3 1.3 0.12 -0.13 0.0 0.5 1.0 0.3 3.4 7 0.0 110000 440010 1 1





newveh.ide(if you make mistakes your game will crash on loading[error SMPA60])

CODE



cars



test, test, car, TEST, COMET, VEH@LOW, NULL, 1, 999, 0.2621, 0.2621, 0, 5, 1.0, 0, noboot+sports





end



txdp



vehshare_truck, vehshare



end





6. edit cargrp.dat(so ped will use new vehicle)-> add test after each turismo

CODE



oracle, fortune, uranus, vigero, primo, admiral, df8, fxt, feroci, e109, pinnacle, habanero, sentinel, schafter, rebla, supergt, pcj, perennial, landstalker, faggio, comet, test, coquette, bus, # POPCYCLE_GROUP_MIDTOWN





7. place in common\data

carcol.dat

cargrp.dat

default.dat

gta.dat

images.txt

newveh.ide

newhandling.dat

8. place in pc\models\cdimages

newveh.img



i'm not good at explain i guess. if you didn't understand just ask here

and maybe someone can explain more better



known bugs:

depend on how many vehicle you add, there is a bug(minigame, carwash and maybe other place are screwed)(fixed)



if you find any bug just post it, so i can update this tut.(maybe someone can solve it)

[Firefighter767]

Wow. This actually Works. Nice job man

The max amount of cars you can get is probably 40 or less. Any more will crash the game, GTA4 can only support so many cars before it can't handle and crashes.

[simplestarwarsfan]

I've said this a few times in other posts but I will say it again:



OPEN IV IS ONLY COMPATIBLE UP TO PATCH 1.0.6.0 OF GTA IV. THEREFORE THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY PATCH LATER THAN 1.0.6.0 ON GTA IV AND IS THEREFORE INCOMPATIBLE WITH GTA IV PATCH 1.0.7.0 AND ALSO ANY PATCH OF EFLC.

This is true but i found a way around it. What you do is get an old version of GTA IV. You can do this by reinstalling your original game to a different directory folder (if you bought it before the patches were applied) then tell OpenIV that this is the game directory. Then you can edit the files in your actual GTA IV directory. Yes i know this requires you to have the game installed twice on your PC but remember this is just the stock basics you need, no mods or anything(i have a backup of my original files from my disk and that's what i used) so it should be much smaller than your actual directory. Also you shouldn't need all the files, probably only the files actually located in the "blah\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV" folder. By this i mean not the folders in it... only this files outside of the folders. If that makes sense. You might even be able to get away with copying these files from your actual real directory then just getting a 'NO-CD crack' for an old version of the game. Anyhow i run GTA IV with the latest patch and tell OpenIV that the directory is my backup, then just edit the real directory. It works for me.

[Agent009]

I use OpenIV on 1.0.7.0

[Firefighter767]

I use OpenIV on 1.0.7.0



Are you sure thats not Spark IV? Open IV does not have a version that is compatible with 1.0.7.0

[Agent009]

hehe yeah am sure

You have no idea how long i have been looking for that... i heard rumors it existed but all the links to download were always broken. You have my kudos sir.

[cops]

so if I understand it good, you will be able to have more cars like more police cars. Or am I wrong?

[simplestarwarsfan]

Technically no. No one (to my knowledge) has figured out how to add a new car and make it a 'Police' or any other type of Emergency vehicle. i.e. with truly working siren, computer, non-els lights, etc. But if you have GTA IV the original, and you name the added vehicle to 'police3' or 'police4' they will be 'Emergency/Police' enabled. i.e WILL have truly working siren, computer, non-els lights. This is the ONLY exception.

[cops]

than I try that http://gtapolicemods.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pfft2.png

[Brodey]

I Can hold over around 43 cars.. http://gtapolicemods.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pfft2.png

Where did you find that????

[Agent009]

Where did you find that????

google : )

[ColCrunch]

so should I change whatever says "test" to what I named the file?

So rather than "test" would they all be "police3"?

[simplestarwarsfan]

Yes... i think he kept all the ones that need to be other already in-game vehicle names...



i checked. So YES.

[FDfan01]

ya I'm lost.

[ColCrunch]

This did not work for me at all...

[simplestarwarsfan]

Well then you did something wrong. Cause it definite works for me and a lot of other people. So tell what the issues are and people will try to help.

[jackmap]

Good find! http://gtapolicemods.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.png But is there an automatic way to add new cars? I tried this once and I must have made a mistake! http://gtapolicemods.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad2.png

[Marsmillo]

A official version of OpenIV (download link in this topic is to a closed beta version) is released a while back with support for EFLC and GTAIV 1.0.7.0. Go to the OpenIV website and download the right version http://openiv.com

[Ryaceman]

I did this and got no errors on start up, but how do i link the added car to my trainer so I can spawn it?

[desertfox11194]

I've got this working with several cars, even a helicopter, but naming cars police3 or police4 hasn't given me a working siren or anything. Any ideas why?
