GTA-IVaud v1.1.5

This program is GOLD!

Do know that you need to give Vilavek the credits if you make a video and replace your sound because of this program

imo This program is quite nice.

CODE

---------------------------------- ---------- Change Log Version 1.1.5 * List now displays filenames * List now displays audio length * Removed hex offset and length from being automatically displayed * Fixed issue which caused arithmetic and overflow errors to be displayed while opening certain ivaud files ---------- --= Version 1.1 =--- * Fixed major compatibility issue with Vista 64-Bit * Added improvements to ivaud header interpreter * Added columns to display offset and length information ------------ Requirements ------------ - Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Tested on Version 1.0.3.0 of GTAIV Files ------- Credits ------- Special thanks to 5050gs from YouTube for demonstrating that an ivaud editor is possible! ----------------- Audio Limitations ----------------- Not much is known about the ivaud format. From what I understand it is meant only to hold single channel or mono waveform data. When importing and replacing sounds in an ivaud archive, please ensure your audio conforms to the following format: PCM Signed 16-Bit, little endian, mono Because GTA-4 makes use of modulating audio frequencies, such as increasing or decreasing playback rates of loopable streams to give the audible illusion of engines revving up and down based on speed, I suggest replacing vehicle audio with audio files of the same frequency or sample rates. ------------ What It Does ------------ - Opens the ivaud file format - Extracts PCM data for editing - Allows for replacing PCM/WAV format data within ivaud archives -------------- Quick Tutorial -------------- 1) Open an rpf archive using a 3rd party tool such as SparkIV or OpenIV 2) Extract the ivaud you wish to edit audio for 3) Open the ivaud in GTA-IVaud 4) Extract the specific sound(s) you wish to modify 5) Modify the sound(s) using a 3rd-party waveform editor (I use GoldWave) 6) Import and replace the original PCM/WAV inside the ivaud with your modified one 7) Import your modified ivaud archive back into the rpf file using SparkIV or OpenIV ----- Legal ----- This program is provided "as-is" without any implied warranty or support. Use of modified files during online play may result in being banned. Use at your own risk!

You must know that some rpf files do not work

I do know that general.rpf and resident.rpf and steamed_vehicles.rpf work

[gr8man]

Radios' RPFs don't work.I was going to change some songs but I'm unable to do this.

Thats because it has different values thats why the program doesn't recognize

[gr8man]

Hope this is going to be fixed for next version.

Do you need it screamed into your ear?

But this tool is pretty disappointing, I wanted to edit the loading tune but the tool wouldn't read it. It sucks because that was the only reason I downloaded this. Bah, I'll just wait for an update.

... I knew this tool was 'too good to be true'; it only supports single-channel audio files; whereas most are 2/3-channel. I found this out the hard way when writing my XMA audio extraction modification for SparkIV...

Vilavek posted this in my hotmail

By all means! Thank you! Link me to it! lol.. You might mention in your thread that the current version 1.1 will open many IVAUD files, but cannot open IVAUD files containing radio station or speech data. Version 1.2 of my program (which I am working on now) will be able to open all ivaud file-types however.

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Great tool, gonna try it out right now!
Can't wait for 1.2
EDIT: Tried the app and wow it works fast, without any crash.
But it would be cool to open all .ivaud's.
Play Time and Name like in SparkIV would be great, so offset and lenghts could be removed.

[r.schuindt]

is to add new sounds, or direct sounds that already exist in your next version?

I have a serious problem in one of my mods ...
the add19wepmod ...
all weapons are down, no sound on firing!
you could give me a solution?
I think to add, or direct it in the archives: dat15 and dat16, but no program is able to edit it yet ...

if you can help me, please PM!

thank you for your attention ...

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

You can just import/export existing .wav-files.
There should be a option to add .wav-files to .ivaud-files too in v1.2.

[Rob.Zombie]

Yeah same here, I wanted to change the loading song, and it didn't find anything

Yeah I also was kinda disappointed to see there were no names... So you have to hear all the sounds and name them, which takes more time...

Btw GTAForums is not slow at all here.
