GTA4 WFT Export discussion

[Neos7]

to add new textures in the wtd files we need G-Textures because sparkIV only allow to replace textures and not to add too,now the only problem is the one from wft export and missing textures

[City_Poke912]

Oleg, can you make a simple tutorial to add colors on body?

[SDrifter]

Ive done like thousands of edits with this filter, never encountered a SINGLE problem with it, id declare it stable Oleg

Have you tried to use G-texture? I tried and it sux! SparkIV refuses to put in the WTD file created in G-texture.

[Oleg]

SDrifter,
Example:
- import ambulance.wft (with textures)
- rename in zmodeler "ambulance.wft" to "schafter.wft"
- export to "schafter.wft" file.
- put this file ingame and pass a "stability test" as stated in main thread.

GTA will crash with SMPA60.

OMG that's what I'm saying! there is NO tool yet to create WTD file.

[Oleg]

replace stock textures in wtd.

[SDrifter]

Lmao!

[Chasez]

replace stock textures in wtd.

but if we want to create new models with new textures the stock textures won't help:)

[Oleg]

you have several "slots" in wtd file where you can place your textures. their quantity, size and name will be the same as in original model, but you can replace texture's contence.

[XSB]

thank you. Finally, it works with Win7. I'll get to work on an M3 sometimes

[City_Poke912]

Oleg, how add a color to my black part? I tried many times but it's don't work. Please, help

[Oleg]

XSB I've used to start it on english version of windows 7. no problems.
City_Poke912, make sure vertices color is white (surface\paint\color), normals are calculated and uv-mapping #2 is mapped properly to texture (uv#2 is a main texture - if you don't have uv#2, it will use coordinates 0,0 which is an upper-left pixel of texture. may be it's black?)
Anaheim, read this and this.

[Mr. BerK]

Thank you mr. Oleg! This export filter is so fu**** awesome! Sorry for posting big images on my previous post.

[City_Poke912]

Oleg, can you post a screen or movie how make a color in Zmodeler to this black part? Please

[?]

what about other stuffs like "the way the doors are opened and , etc if u wanna make a propellar how to do it... there should be option like" convert to propellar" and other stuffs..?

[Oleg]

City_Poke912, no.

[Chasez]

I found problem with chassis [COL] file. This is the model I have it loads and drives perfectly but as soon as I hit anything (except people I think) game crashes and if I try to make the collision bigger in Zmodeler and trying to export it crashes too.

I'll do my best to figure out how to make my own collision model and see what's happening then well as you can see I'm not a modder but just a GTA IV and car modding fan and I don't know everything :D:D

[City_Poke912]

Yes! I did it! I have a working hood

And this is what happens when I move further from the car

SDrifter,

- rename in zmodeler "ambulance.wft" to "schafter.wft"
- export to "schafter.wft" file.

This is ofcourse normal if you do it exactly that way.
Thinks to add:
-export ambulance.wtd and rename to schafter.wtd
-replace schafter.wtd in vehicle.img
-copy ambulance line in handling, carcols, vehicles, and replace schafter line.

I think we are missing something. I think that the wtf is correctly exported.
Maybe there is some hash calc in gtaiv.exe. Where is the carhash based on?
Like: SCHAFTER 3972623423 0xECC96C3F
Where is that based on? It should be calculated from something.

Some people say that they can play hours with an exported wft.
gtaiv is not stable on some ways. I got also one time an error.
I did everyting (3 times reinstall). Finally I did something I don't remember and it works.

Just for now? Or is it impossible to create our own (if the wtd tool is working)

[JKM]

I can create a complete new wtd file and its working ingame:


Believe me i didnt stock old textures... G-Texture is working fine
