Hello!

Anyone know how to do automatic operation on gta3.img without doing any click onto stupid buttons?

The problem on that I want to do that onto Vice City.

Any IMG tool for vice doesn't support this kind of operation.

Spark has a command line version,but work only with SA (very silly thing) so is inusable.

Any advice?

I guess isn't possible,uh?

Well,good enough...

But before I make my "decision" I want to be sure....

Anyone know a similar tool?


There are few for SA,and (I think) it's normal that for VC there aren't anyone,but....



VERY sorry for double post,it's kind of "urgent"....

I have written IMG class for C++ that works with version 1 (GTA III, GTA SA) and version 2 (GTA SA)
All you have to do is command-line tool, since i provide you a class only.

Sorry but I'm not so good with C++ to make a complete application
The code is very well written,but hard to understand for me (I studied c++ for only 6-7 months).

All I want to do is replace 3 files (I know name of that,and they are disposed in the same folder of exutable) that are inside gta3.img.

Can't compile it only to do this operation?

Or at least tell me a VERY basic script to how open the gta3.img and do that....


I know it's a lot of work,but this would complete my mod,and off course I would be very happy

Add this to project:
#include "IMG.h"

And add CPP file to Visual Studio source files, it's where you can add files, you list of files of project.

Examples:

Display file names in command line (requires <iostream> )

CODE

IMG archive; archive.OpenArchive("gta3.img"); auto it = archive.begin(); while(it < archive.end()) {  cout << it -> Name << endl;  it++; } archive.CloseArchive();

Get file size of specified file by name:

CODE

IMG archive; archive.OpenArchive("gta3.img"); std::cout << "Size of stand.dff in bytes: " << archive.GetFileRefByName("stand.dff").GetFilesize() << endl; archive.CloseArchive();

Add or replace file (if exists), requires #include <stdio.h> for fopen, fseek and ftell

CODE

IMG archive; archive.OpenArchive("gta3.img"); // Load whole file into memory FILE* fp = fopen("stand.dff", "r"); fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);  // set position to end unsigned int FileSize = ftell(fp);  // get current position, If it's on ending then it's filesize, right? char* Buffer = new char[FileSize];  // allocate memory depending on FileSize, as much as it needs fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_SET);     // get back to beginning of file fread(Buffer, 1, FileSize, fp); archive.AddOrReplaceFile("stand.dff", Buffer, FileSize); delete Buffer;       // Don't forget to deallocate memory, it's not neccessary now fclose(fp);        // Don't forget to close file handle of standup.dff archive.CloseArchive();     // Don't forget to close archive.

I'm to f*cking rusty to know perfectly what you're saying

I'm using Dev-C++ (Only used that for learning porpoises) and I don't understand some things:

After I've write insert IMG.h to Devc++ resource and correctly included it to MY simple software,and after I included the IMG.cpp files inside my project and I compile it,It return (after a LOT of missing .h files) even LOT of other error (like 126 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\stdafx.h `_QERShadersTable' does not name a type or 189 C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\IMG\IMG.cpp `IMG_version' is not a class or namespace ).

You have to be more "specific" to WHAT part of code I've to past into my software.


SORRY for STUPID question (I know it's frustrating) but this is the last piece of my puzzle-project


I've done only simple software in c++ (like an agenda or a photo viewer) and I never used this kind of external files.

I think IMG class may not be compiled in Dev C++ because of unsupported this kind of expression:
IMG_version::VERSION_2

Try to remove IMG_version:: or download Visual Studio 2012.
