Applying player mods in GTA IV P.C (need help)

[Dragonfly Jones]

Nephew been watching a bunch of youtube vids with Hulk, Godzilla, Ironman, Spiderman, Superman etc player mods on GTA IV PC and now has been bugging me to implement them into GTA IV for him, I don't really give a fuk bout this sh1t but he really wants to play em so i said fuk it, lemme try this sh1t




I downloaded that program OIV and found a Hulk script and player model files that were .oiv files (hulkscript.oiv/Hulkpedmodel.oiv) and loaded them up into the game and the mod worked perfectly fine


however I'm unable to load any other scripts or ped models that aren't ".oiv" files (and none of the other characters I've found on the internet were .oiv files except for the Hulk mod)


I'm a noob so someone help me out.



BTW, I also downloaded a superman script and loaded it up into IOV and now whenever I put the hulk mod on Hulk now has a combination of both his own powers/abilities (flying and laser eye vision) and supermans, how do I remove the superman script when running the Hulk mod?

havent messed with gta 4 mods in years but is it possible to convert the oiv files to another format?

The OIV program only accepts OIV files and i have no idea how to peice together these player mods into OIV files, it would be easier if they just came already put together and ready to go so ppl can just load them up.


Applying the scripts (abilities and powers) are the easy part, I just can't figure out how to implement player models that aren't already prepackaged in .oiv file format.


I also have no idea how to remove mods which is why HULK has both his own powers and superman's at the moment


Hulk aint suppose to be shooting red lasers out his eyes and flying....Sh1ts all effed up now

well to remove you just gotta find the files you added and delete them/replace them with the originals

you did do a back up of the folders you tweakin before you started adding/deleting files?

nope



I only used the OIV program, I didn't want to go through the process of searching for individual files and altering them, the OIV program does all of that for you.


I'm just trying to figure out how to remove them with the program now


I don't even know where to look to do that type of ish manually

So i managed to delete the unwanted Superman scripts by simplying going into the script folder and deleting it



What id like to learn how to do is take the files in this link

http://www.gta4-mods.com/player/iron-man-mark-3-v10-beta-f9675

and turn them into a ".oiv" file that can easily be uploaded into the game via OIV


i don't see any instructions for this anywhere, i thought u PC ninjas said modding was easy

You're over complicating things for no reason bruh...

Just add the files to playerped.rpf with openiv...

It take like 2 minutes...

Download and extract the mod files somewhere on your desktop...

Are you playing GTAIV or the episode expansions?

If its IV (Niko) then all you need to do is open up OpenIV and go to Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages

In that folder you want to click and open playerped.rpf

This is what you should see...

Now Click the "edit mode" button up top, then click add and look for the files you extracted to your desktop...If they all look like this "head_000_r.wdr" you want to rename the "000" to a number that's not taken...For exmaple in the picture I posted if i was adding more feet it would be feet_007_u.wdr and feet_diff_007_a_uni...Now if you don't care about losing Niko's files then you don't need to edit anything, just add and replace the files...

When you're done with that go to file > and rebuild archive...

now start the game...

havent messed with gta 4 mods in years but is it possible to convert the oiv files to another format?

OIV files are zip files...

You can open them up with winzip and extract the files...
