Why my steam GTA IV have bugs after changing anything from textures? With Spark I'm exporting and importing textures, editing in gimp. When I trying to change any picture in interior, then I have "glitch".

maybe your texture is too heavy , too big . GTA doesn't like loading too much high res textures at the same time

I'm thinking, that my trouble is other. Size of modded file is almost same.

What I'm doing:

1. Opening for example studio2main.wdr from homes2.img
2. Click on edit, select textures, export them, modding them, and with same sizes as original importing.
3. Saving, rebuilding spark.
4. When I go inside intrerior, then Niko's going/falling under interior.

are your textures complete i mean , are you sure you didn't put some transparency in there . if yes it may have caused a mess

yes but textures are apart from collisions so if he falls down it means that the interior instance of studio main located in one of the strbig wpls of the imgs(i dont know which one) failed for some reason and i need more details to find out why.

other suggestion: did you edited embeded textures? i mean it wasnt from the wtd isnt it?
so it would be better that you download OPEN IV program that allows you to do the same thing but you have to export it in open formats,the textures will be in a folder called with the same name as the model,edit them and then reimport them(isnt so easier but is more effective) so i recommend you to download OPEN IV, dude.

spark iv is a good tool but the texture editing perfomance of the embeded textures inside model are not supported very well,sometimes textures arent even saved for some reason.(that happened to me when i was trying to edit the freeway signs)

OK , i just realized that the studio2main is the brucie's house.ok.then you have to know that brucie's house is only rendered in the cutscenes when mission so it is not an interior instance like your save house, it is only a scene to create the story of GTA IV(i was using trainer "go trought doors" feature to find it out). like i said it is only rendered in cutscenes so thats may be your problem with that "interior".doesnt even exist.
examples of cutscene interiors: faustin's mansion, packie's house, elizabeta's house....

for rebuilding Open IV is better than Spark both programs aren't perfect but Open IV succeeds more often for rebuilding . why i say that , a bad img rebuilding leads to exactly the symtoms you're describing (whole img area to be texture less , and the "falling bug" you're describing)

@ aacclapd : Spark works fine in saving but you need to save after each modification . if you do two modifications without having saved the first modification , the second saving then may not work
