Pretty sure the white dots are the vertex. When you connect them the baseball bat is visible.

Try to put in the smallest models (filesize) possible. They're easiest to figure out the model formats with. The only model i'm even going to seriously look at is the bat.

DexX, ask GooD-NTS for that

Please, no more russian language here.. respect people from other countries!

Dageron, are you discussing the model format any where? I don't want to hijack this topic for it..

I don't know what you guys know (the guy writing that program probably knows more than me) but i've got some info, and have some questions.

[mr.Dageron]

Ask GooD-NTS or Alexander Blade... I am only a person who is looking for progress, compare information from differen forums and post it here))

You want to keep everything in a secret like other information about GTAIV formats? Please, not...

Model format is hacking by CrashBandicoot and listener (I just only translated their speech to english)

CrashBandicoot:

QUOTE

Model file has symmetrical structure, and what he needed. Here's what new research showed. Usually, the files coords 3D data points are written in succession on 12 bytes. 1 point = 12 bytes (float x, float y, float z). Considering model with the bat (file rpg.wdr.rsc) proved that point is 36 bytes. The first 12 - are coordinates x, y, z. The next 12 bytes this point on the circle around bits (that is, is the "garbage" around bits). But next 12 bytes - is not clear at all that: The first 4 bytes - not the number (not exactly float), second and third quite similar to the number of type float. 1 point is this: offset | description ----------------- 0 float coord_X 4 float coord_Y 8 float coord_Z 12 float unk_X 16 float unk_Y 20 float unk_Z 24 unk2 28 float unk3_1 32 float unk3_2 unk2 - the number does not seem to be some flags. For example, what it can be value: 9B 9B 9B FF, B3 B3 B3 FF, 96 96 96 FF, 9C 9C 9C FF, 93 93 93 FF, B5 B5 B5 FF, 94 94 94 FF, etc. At the expense of unk3_1 and unk_3_2 - float values from 0 to 1. Perhaps texture coordinates.

listener:

QUOTE

In bat file, at 0x1000 begins GPU-segment. All that it is to be standart D3D structures. Lhen it is possible to saw vertex and index array. (Fields filled 0xCD - not-inicialised data). Total size of the buffer index produced 480 triangles.

[oCain]

hmm...

It was just a test and for the 'w_bat.wdr.rsc' file only. As you can see it's not perfect.
But as DexX already sad...a really simple model would be nice and I also think he/we/you should make an extra topic for the model'izm.

Greetz! (sorry for my write-lazyness...I'm tired)

//Edit-->Whoops!...not fast enough

About the 'unk2' thing...maybe vertex-colors? (rgba)

Nono, not at all. Quite the opposite. I was debating whether or not to make a topic here, and i probably will after this post.

edit;
here.

Looks like dexx also created a model format discussion thread. Link

Edit: Dexx already edited his post with the link.. sorry

[dalte89]

Hey mr.Dageron great work with this, its excellent so far. One thing tho i was wondering if u could check the file format for the sound files (like gun shots, bullet hits, etc) is it a WAV file or somethin else, and if its something else do u know if its still editable. I wanna make a weapon sound pack once the tool is released

THanks alot man good luck wit this

[Sniper Pilot]

Im sorry if I sound noobish, but i would really like to get into modding GTAIV...

With that said, If any of you could point me in the right direction into how to extract the .RPF Audio files in GTAIV, it would be greatly appreciated.

Not possible as of yet. People are still creating tools to open/edit files. I don't think it will take long before it's possible to fully mod GTA IV (Don't blame me if I am wrong!)

Thanks, i guess we just have to resort to our good friend that never gets old:

Patience.
