QUOTE (funk192 @ Jan 5 2009, 14:02) Can we at least enable LAN multiplayer mode? It's possible, but complicated enough. We can redirect all TCP/IP related functions (xlive_1..xlive_66) to WinSock32 (instead xlive), but all match-making functions (creating network game, finding host, etc) must be implemented from scratch

Ah ok, didn't think even that LAN mode was tied into Live. So are your skills up to the task lol and would you be considering in doing that?

Rick already wrote about it: http://blog.gib.me/2008/12/20/hacking-gran...to-iv-part-iii/ Checksum of the savefile encrypted with live users's key. Only "real" xlive.dll can calculate correct checksum, so you need patch to load edited/non-xlive savegame.

Oh, okay. I didn't know it was covered on his page.

On a side note, It's so ridiculous having all these keys and encryptions and the like for save files. Why lock them down like this? In a way I like being able to play this game on Live and get achievements, but the fact that you have to login every time to play saved games (if you use an online account) makes it pointless. About the only thing you could 'gain' by loading someone else's saves on your account are Achievements. But the achievements aren't even saved in the save files -- they're in .gpd file stoed in the directory of the XLive account.

I'm not going to buy any other Live games if they are all tied down like this. I highly doubt I'm unable to play my Xbox 360 games if I can't login. So why isn't it that way on the PC?!

Good work, any help for the camera shaking please?

Hey, first of all to the mods I accidentally "reported the post" when I meant to reply, forgive me.

Is there anyway to use this to get GTA4 to save video clips to another hard drive other than my User Documents folder on C drive? My C drive only for 8 GB left, while I have over a Tb of space on other hard drives. I have GTA4 installed to F drive and I want it to save clips to F drive, but I can't change it. I can't make anymore clips now because my C drive is so small (reserved for system files and the like). I figure since you can move savegame files maybe you can move clip files too.

Good job!

I tried XliveLess but the savegames doesn't work for me.

That's what I did (before I had asi loader of alex):
Removed xlive.dll by Rick from my GTAIV main folder.
Copied xlive.dll into GTAIV main folder.
Removed binkhooked.dll.
Replaced binkw32.dll with the original one (190kb).
Moved SGTA400 file from my user_--- folder in ..\local settings\appdata\ to Documents\Rockstar Games\savegames\

Ran the game, but doesn't load the savegame. It writes LOADING - MISSIONAME but it crash closing the game.

What did I do wrong?

* If you select "Live Guide" in the game menu, game will hang.

Using

CODE

extern "C"  int __stdcall xlive_5215 (DWORD) { trace ("xlive_5215: XShowGuideUI\n"); return 1; }

will stop the game from hanging, only play the sound and highlight the item.

CODE

*(BYTE *)(0x6B5FC0+dwLoadOffset) = 0xC3;

in patchCode() would work as well (as xlive_5215 is never called)

Just wanted to tell you: There are offline profiles in Live, so you don't need to be connected to play the game. The Social Club has an offline mode too, so please, get your facts straight. You only have to be online if you want to play multiplayer, or when you activate your game

[Graphix14]

Are we supposed to install Rockstar's patch 1.0.1.0 in order for this to work?

[Graphix14]

If we need to have the patch installed, then it's not working for me, because it says I need to have social club properly install or it cannot find it.

[udedenkz]

awesome! keep up the good work.

[Racer3552]

[Schallerboy20]

Changes in version 0.93 * Disabled RGSC * changed location of the savegames folder: CODE Directory of C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames 03.01.2009  03:57    <DIR>          . 03.01.2009  03:57    <DIR>          .. 28.12.2008  21:03         1 977 934 SGTA400 07.12.2008  07:15         1 978 282 SGTA401 29.12.2008  22:55         1 977 934 SGTA402 07.12.2008  09:17         1 978 282 SGTA403 02.01.2009  19:59         1 977 934 SGTA404 29.12.2008  02:06         1 977 934 SGTA412 * added plugin API and sample plugin (move savegames folder into the root game folder)

When you say "disables RGSC" does that mean you can start the game without it running, can't record and upload clips or you just can't go online? Thanks for the clarification.
