Whats new?

Nice !

I heard somebody talking that it was going to be something new, but cant remember what it was?

SparkIV, OpenIV

Which is better?

OpenIV! And who does rate lower than 10? Fucking bitches, this is the greatest program.. without it u'll NOT have any map, car, ped mods etc. for GTA IV

i guess the best mods are hated here.10/10 btw

@huyingjie62 I need both so I would say they are pretty similar. OpenIV allows u to add new files in files, don't know how to say it. SparkIV let's u open folders that u can't open with OpenIV, so yes I need both. I'll give 10/10 becuase that u´ll need it if u want to mod, can't give anything for this update because can't see any useful improvements:)

Would be nice if somebody could tell any good difference between the last version except the look of it maybe?

Be Aware

I just used this program out of curiosity to see what it can do. I gave it directory and after about 10 minutes i used editing mode only once to change texture to ONE PED. Saved, closed, started game, GTA4 crashed. I replaced same ped with backup using SparkIV, but game keeps crashing ever since. Because i only change texture to one ped, i have no idea what could get messed up by using this program. I've been doing this for very long time, using SparkIV, EditIV, G-texture, AdobeCS4, IVaud, u name it. I have old installation of gta4 on xp partition and this one on 7/64bit partition just to see how things gonna run on windows7. I'm running it on 7 for about month till now. So i'll start replacing files and hopefully find whats damaged.

Did not took much. I remember i was looking at shaders through hex viewer using this program as well. That was way before i pressed editing mode, so i don't get it. I just replaced shaders with backup and it's running now. I tell you what, the only way how i'm gonna use this program, is on extra backup files. I don't care how paranoid that sounds.

Stilldre older you is disgusting I througth you has which in the pear 9/10

took long enough for an update.

How can I fix this??????

@tall70 OpenIV can't affect files when you are using "View as hex" feature.

@Leo 009 if your GTA placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\" or "C:\Program Files\" folder you need run OpenIV with admin's right.
