now i know how to add armors without replace normal game peds.
, game crash at loading screen, i believe that is not possible make this work on EFLC, i also tried the "exclusive" componentpeds.img and peds.ide files (C:Program FilesRockstar GamesEFLC
i file.
In resume:- Edit file peds.ide (C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IVcommondata) copy one of the game peds line and edit the model name to the desired model name
- Rename the new ped model files to this model name
- Use OpenIV to edit file componentpeds.img and insert this new ped model files
- Edit armor .ini file changing name of model (model) and display name (name)
- To have footsteps sound you need to create copies (one for each added armor :P) of the chosen game ped config in the file pedVariations.dat, example for the model of this tutorial:
im_crimson_dynamo, 5
#slot geometry BULK JOB SUNNY WET MAT1 RES1A RES1B RES2A RES2B AUDIO ID
feet, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 2
head, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 6
uppr, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1
uppr, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 5
lowr, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 11
end
Lets say that you downloaded this armor:
http://www.gta4-mods.com/player/crimson-dynamo-f21609You will have this ped files as default for this download:
now we rename to an name that we want, lets use
im_crimson_dynamo:
Now we use
OpenIV to insert this files inside
componentpeds.img, now comes an important thing, this armor dont come with an "fragment object" file (ends with .wft), so we can copy one from another ped, rename to the new model name then add to componentpeds.img too, this is very important. In the end we will have this files imported with OpenIV:
In case you cant find this .wft file, you can use this
one, just rename it like you did with the other armor files.
Ok, now we need to edit the Armor .ini file, go to folder {GTA.exe folder}ScriptsIron Man filesArmors and copy armor_2.ini, rename to an desired name, lets use
armor_crimson_dynamo.ini:
Now open this file with an text editor (notepad is good option ^^) and edit
model to the name that we choose before:
im_crimson_dynamoAlso change
name to desired name, for example:
Crimson DynamoSave and close.
Now, very important part, lets edit the file
peds.ide and add lines for this new armor (ped) name. Go to your GTAIV.exe folder (commonly "C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IV") then go to folder
common and then folder
data, find the file peds.ide right click it, click in
properties and uncheck the read only option:
Now
open this file with an text editor like
notepad and insert this line after the line that starts with:
M_Y_Tourist_02,im_crimson_dynamo, null, CIVMALE, move_player, GESTURES@MALE, GESTURES@M_PHONE, FACIALS@M_HI, visemes@m_hi, 0, move_player, null, -1,-1, PED_TYPE_PLAYER, VOICE_PLY_CR, VOICE_PLY_CR
The result is something like that:
As you can see what changes basically is the first name, there we put the name that we choose before to be the name of the new ped model.
Now its just save and close the peds.ide file and test the mod in the game :)
Know issue: They dont have foot steps, maybe is something related to the line that i choose to copy in peds.ide file.
