QUOTE (Jost_Vice @ Dec 18 2008, 09:35) Epic work aru, all working great. I see some weird textures with colours all mixed, looks corruption but I don't know what to say, maybe they're like that or something. Anyway, great work! the model preview works perfectly  Ooh.. which ones in particular? @Millenia, yeah.. MW was almost about 2-3 years ago @Harmalarm... haven't figured out the texture assignment data yet, but we'll get there eventually.

I find them in every wtd, they aren't spec maps or normal maps, just regular textures with all the colors a bit mixed up.

Here is a screeny of one wtd inside the Manhattan folder:

wft preview doesn't work for me. If I double click wtd files it show me the preview, but is not the same with wft.
Btw awesome tool, keep it up.

Great tool. It cured my boredom by making me extract all the radar textures and put them together to one big map.

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Very Great, that we are now able to open all textures

This is Great!

Aru, you amaze me ! Already an (excellent) upgrade for SparkIV !
It works very fine for me. Haha, that's great !

Model viewer doesn't work. When i double click on a model nothing appears

[aru]

@Jost_Vice... interesting... I guess it only happens for DXT1 textures. There must be something wrong with my decoder.

@mr.Dageron.. I'm not going to be spending time on the 360 version. I rather be spending it on something worthwhile that will eventually help the majority of the community. Modding the 360 version probably won't.

@FunGt... Only wdr files are supported for now. wft files are not supported and wdd files are not supported.

@City_Poke912... Nope, the vehicle models are wft files and can't be previewed currently. Their format is somewhat different from the wdr files.

@Hollaz... you must have been reaaaaally bored because that must have taken a while by hand .

Amazing. Is there any chance you could make the camera on the model viewer like Valves hammer editor? So we can really get in close and see the models properly? Using WASD to move around.

Since the release of SparkIV 0.4.5, I took the liberty to start a list of the content inside the IMG files.
Check it : http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=385483

It is only a basic list, I will complete it in the future. Don't hesitate to add your infos !

Thank you so much for this tool. It allowed me to unpack some audio data. I have some informations about the music format used in GTA IV.

I've used SparkIV to open LOADING.RPF file (package containing loading tunes used in the game). Now, I got this:


I exported the highlighted file.
Then, I decided to investigate a bit. I launched Audacity (a sound editing program - really good one) and tried to open the exported file. I got an error about the file not being recognized by the program. Clicked OK, then used "Import RAW data" option. Selected the exported audio file, and I began experimenting with the audio format settings. After messing with the format settings, I was able to hear the actual music.

These are the settings I've used to listen to the track:


The playback is messy a bit though. The file structure seems to be like this:

[few seconds of noise] + [first 10 seconds of stereo channel 1] + [first 10 seconds of stereo channel 2] + [next 10 seconds of stereo channel 1] + [next 10 seconds of stereo channel 2] ... ... ...

Thought it's interesting; I hope I helped a bit.

Great start to the tool so far, looking forward to importing textures and not only exporting/saving them.
Is it possible to create an option where you set your IV directory and you mod folder to make multiple file swaps a little more fluid.
So when go click open it will jump to your IV directory and if you click on export or import it will automatically jump to your mod directory. Still having the drop down to selct others of course.

Love it so far, nice work.
