*This plugin is the returning of File Check Fix so i decided to create separate topic

Updated 17 December 2009

Fixed "STR10" error !

-= GTA IV FILE CHECK FIX 1.0.0.4 C Advance (5th patch) =-

Description:
In 1.0.3/4/1.0.0.4 removes MP files check. This is plugin for ASI Loader that removes game file checking and allows to change any game files. Also this plugin unbinds filelst.pak so u don't need any patchers. Fix is marked as "Advance" from 1.0.0.4 patch because 1.0.0.4 has the detection of asi loader, asi plugins and some other files like 1911.dll, this check is also disabled by this fix.

In version 1.0.3.0, 1.0.4.0, 1.0.0.4 file check is enabled only for MP-suspicious files -

So... this enables modified files to work in mp?
Awesome either way

[someguyihate]

Ok... for some reason I still can't get into multiplayer with my modified handling.dat.

If you modify the above files, you won't be able to get into MP. That's what Alexander meant by 'file check is enabled only for MP-suspicious files'.

You can probably modify files other than the ones stated in the quote.

This is nice, now we can use all kinds of visual tweaks and play in multiplayer, but we still can't have cars that go from 0 to 200 in 2 seconds or rocket glocks.

no cheating

[UltimateGTR]

Wow, that's great, you're the king of scripting!

[Blades]

Hmm, this doesn't seem to be working for me.

I've got your ASI Loader installed, and this script installed. The only 2 files I've modified are cargrp.dat and vehicles.dat.

I can get past the mobile phone file check, i.e. it doesn't come up with the modified files message on the phone, but when I try to join a game, it just comes up with the same old message, but in full-screen on the black background.

Running patch 1.0.3.0, running the game as an administrator. Not sure what to do now.

[Gforce]

i tried running the script with an updated Alice and asi loader on a genuine V3 IV install and it crashed on the loading screen.

i'm running IV with nothing in the above list modified in offline mode, the game runs fine as soon as i delete the filecheck asi, i checked the logs for Alice and Asi loader and there were no problems listed.

i even went back to using an unmodified american.gxt, i assume that being in the UK i'm running the EU V1.0.3.0 GTAIV.exe.

multiplayer not working for me, if i edit only "loadingscreens_pc" (or other..)

[TheMetalLord]

Alright it is not working for me 2!

common/data/visualsettings.dat

Same problem for me. Even 1 modified file and multiplayer is not working. Please fix it.
And, please, let us using a modified handling.dat like with patch 1.0.2.0.

Thanks for your work, Alexander.

So basically, you want to cheat, but Alexander is against that like all sane individuals. You lose.

If you read the posts above, it says you cant edit any files that would allow you to cheat. And I wholly agree with that idea.

So you say this fixes file check, but you said you had to disable MP as per R* request, so how can you re-enable Alex ? I mean this is allowing ppl to cheat online or ?

I personally dont wanna play online w/ cheats, ts not fair, game AI's are hard enough sometimes then to have ppl play against you like that... I still have version 1.0.2 and only playt MP on console version.

If the plugin just lets you play SP w/ cheats/mods but still allows you to go online & play MP W/OUT cheats and W/OUT having to remove ALL your files/mods, then that seems ok, cuz R* basically did that when they put cheats in the phone for SP but disable them for MP ..

Basically, no.

This allows you to edit files that don't affect gameplay. Even files as simple as cargrp.dat are blocked as they can give you an unfair advantage.

(Imagine a A to B game where all the cars that spawned around you were infernus' or something.)

[Blades]

Alex didn't mention cargrp.dat in his list, but if it is blocking it, aaah crap. I hate the way that only a tiny selection of the cars ever spawn in free mode, so I added heaps of cars to the section called POPCYCLE_GROUP_NETWORK and that worked before patch 3.
Before you ask, no I didn't fill it with infernuses.

[High]

Hey Alex, thx for the fix.

It works great for most parts (weapon textures etc...) but it seems to stumble with bartekxyz's motion blur fix.

i can't get online with his mod installed, it only includes two innocent files in /common/data and /common/shaders.

Just letting you know, much appreciated.
