So SparkIV is refusing to work because it thinks that GTA4.exe is in a place where it isn't and I can't see a way to redirect the program to the correct directory. Any way around this? Steam version.

You changed the C# code for the Buttons, or the version you downloaded is sh*t, just delete it then re-install it. You should Google the errors, and it will show what it is, and sometimes it means it corrupt when downloading, or the compiled version was not compiler, just run through Debugging mode.

[terreur69]

or use openIV ?

[SPITFIRE57]

I've read though most of this and my question wasn't answered.

SparkIV has always worked great for me until I installed a second copy of GTAIV on another hard drive. After that everything got messed up because of common files, etc. Well i got my original C: game working again properly, except SparksIV now doesn't even open anymore. I get this error message when opening.

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : sparkiv.exe P2 : 0.6.6.0 P3 : 4bffa9cb
P4 : mscorlib P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 5040540e P7 : 3451 P8 : 119
P9 : system.io.directorynotfound




I currently have game patch 1.0.4.0 and have tried every SparkIV version. My problem is not the version since version 0.6.2.1 has worked for me for years. After trying Spark version 0.7.0 Beta the answer became more clear to me. Spark actually opens up in version 7 beta now, but when I click on the IV icon top left another error appears "Could not find a part of path F:\Program Files\Grand Theft Auto IV\gtaiv.exe."




If I go to the open folder icon middle top left I can use Sparks just fine accessing everything completely manually. This is clear to me the path or directory has been changed and is always now looking for the files on the F drive where I installed the new version of GTAIV which no longer exists due to many complications. How do I switch paths or directories back to looking on my C drive in Sparks. Yes I am running Sparks on the C drive and nothing has changed in the way I am doing things from the last several years. All this started instantly after installing a new copy of GTAIV on the F drive.

Putting these two errors together and my guess is after installing the second copy of GTAIV on another drive, my F drive, the source changed to this new installed copy instead of my good working copy on C:\. I have deleted the F drive copy and am currently only using my good and stable C drive copy. So how do I change the source back to recognize my C:\? Thanks for the help.

It could be great if Spark IV can add new files to img , currently it can only replace file .
Anyway , This tool is great , No need to install - that's why I use this but don't use OpenIv
