SparkIV
SparkIV v0.5.0
Current version:0.6.1 Beta (!)
Developed by:aru
Supported games:GTA 4
Type:archive editor
Website:http://gtaivtools.googlecode.com/

SparkIV is an IMG and RPF archive file editor for GTA IV, created by aru. As of version 0.5.1 the software is open source, released under the GPL v3 license.

It includes viewers for several file formats commonly found inside the archives, such as textures (*.wtd), models (*.wdr) and model dictionaries (*.wdd), as well as a decompiler for the game's mission script (*.sco) files.

Feature History

Version 0.6.1

(released Jan 25, 2009)
  • Critical bug fix with import/export textures
  • Fixed a few bugs in WHM preview
  • Auto-check for read-only when opening IMG/RPF files

Version 0.6.0

(released Jan 24, 2009)
  • Support for version 1.0.2 of GTA IV
  • Support for previewing WHM files (might not preview exactly as shown in game)
  • Support for all audio files, with playback and export support
  • Default filenames are now shown when exporting/importing textures in Edit mode
  • Support for loading IMG/RPF/Directories by passing a command line argument
  • IMG/RPF files are opened in read/write share mode now instead of just read share
  • Work around for Windows 7's GDI+ bug
  • Added support for "type 3" vertices in models
  • Fixed bug with textures that have a name of less than 6 characters
