Importing Textures with OpenIV tutorial by Fabio206. This tutorial explains how to change textures in GTA 4 using OpenIV tool.
Contents
Software & Downloads
- OpenIV latest version, viewer/editor for the GTA IV files.
- Photoshop or another graphics software.
Step 1: Open .wtd files with OpenIV
First of all, extract OpenIV archive files and open "OpenIV.exe"
Clicking on "File" > "Open Content", OpenIV will automatic load GTA IV Main Folder, loading all relative files. You will see a folder tree and some previews.
In this tutorial I'll modify Niko shoes with my Nike Air Max Plus.
We'll modify "feet_diff_001_a_uni.wtd" located in playerped.rpf (\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\models\cdimages).
Find it like in the image:
Click on playerped.rpf to open the archive and show files. There is a list of .wtd files. We know that in our tutorials we'll edit "feet_diff_001_a_uni.wtd".
BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
You could backup "feet_diff_001_a_uni.wtd" clicking on "Edit" > "Extract".
Step 2: Edit a textures
Select "feet_diff_001_a_uni.wtd" and right click on "Edit".
You'll have the textures files list on the left, in this case only feet_diff_001_a_uni.dss regular 7.
So, now you shoud have a .png file with your new texture. Be sure that .png new file has same resolution (in our case: 256x256).
Click on "Replace" and load nike_squalo.png file.
IMPORTANT: Click on Change Levels and edit value to 1.
Step 3: Applying changes
Now click on "Save" and press enter when DOS Window will open.
IMPORTANT: To apply the changes, click on "File" > "Rebuild".
Close the program and launch GTA IV.
