This creates entrances to exits or [[interior]] connections to real world by placing yellow markers on the map for CJ to walk through. Note that changes to the flags and links of existing markers are not updated by the text files after the save is created so maintaining the proper sequence of enex lines is a primary concern. New connections can be added to an existing save if temporary (burglary) connections are not present in the save data. Indoor saves generally have no temporary enex data. Add the markers at the very end of the <code>[[gta.dat]]</code> else it can negatively affect currently placed markers. 376 of 400 possible enex connections are used in a standard game.

Item placement files, known by the extension .ipl, are map files used to place objects into the GTA world, as well as define zones, paths, garages, interior portals, and a lot more. Most IPL files can easily be opened and edited using any text-editing program like Notepad. In San Andreas there are also binary IPL files which are located in the IMG archives of the game. Those you can only open using a special editor.

Structure

The .ipl files are split up into many sections. Not all of them have to be used, leaving them empty works as well. Each section starts with a section identifier and ends with the keyword "end", both in a separate line.

Example: 

inst
...
end

INST

Used to place objects in the world.

GTA III format 

ID, ModelName, PosX, PosY, PosZ, ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ, RotW

Vice City format 

ID, ModelName, Interior, PosX, PosY, PosZ, ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ, RotW

San Andreas format 

ID, ModelName, Interior, PosX, PosY, PosZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ, RotW, LOD

CULL

Create a culling zone.

GTA III and Vice City format 

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, LowerLeftZ, UpperRightX, UpperRightY, UpperRightZ, Flags, Unknown

San Andreas format 1 

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, Unknown1, WidthY, BottomZ, WidthX, Unknown2, TopZ, Flag, Unknown3

San Andreas format 2 

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, Unknown1, WidthY, BottomZ, WidthX, Unknown2, TopZ, Flag, Vx, Vy, Vz, Cm

PATH

Vice City only

Ped, Car and Boat Paths, defines paths relative to the world centre. Only used in GTA VC, this format is much easier than in GTA3 where the paths were stored in IDE files, and GTA-SA paths which are stored in **nodes.dat inside gta3.img. This is a quite complicated format and hardly usable without an editing program (such as Ked).

GTA SA uses compiled binary files for its paths.

GRGE

Creates a garage.

San Andreas format 

PosX, PosY, PosZ, LineX, LineY, CubeX, CubeY, CubeZ, DoorType, GarageType, Name

ENEX

Creates an entrance to an exit

San Andreas format 

X1, Y1, Z1, ROT, W1, W2, C8, X2, Y2, Z2, Rot2, Int, Flag, Name, Sky, I2, Time On, Time Off

PICK

Creates a weapon pickup.

San Andreas format 

ID, PosX, PosY, PosZ

JUMP

Creates a unique stunt jump.

San Andreas format 

StartLowerX, StartLowerY, StartLowerZ, StartUpperX, StartUpperY, StartUpperZ, TargetLowerX, TargetLowerY, TargetLowerZ,
TargetUpperX, TargetUpperY, TargetUpperZ, CameraX, CameraY, CameraZ, Reward

TCYC

Creates black sky if you enter the zone. Also exists for all towns in countryside. Probably custom weather?

San Andreas format 

X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?

AUZO

This creates an audio if you enter the zone.

San Andreas format 1 

Name, ID, Switch, X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2

San Andreas format 2 

Name, ID, Switch, X, Y, Z, Radius

MULT

San Andreas and GTA4 only

In San Andreas, this was never used in the game. This section is currently unknown and may never be known; it is ignored by the game.

CARS

Creates a parked car generator

San Andreas format 

PosX, PosY, PosZ, Angle, CarID, PrimCol, SecCol, ForceSpawn, Alarm, DoorLock, Unknown1, Unknown2

OCCL

Creates zones for separated rendering.

Vice City and San Andreas format 

mid x, mid y, bottom height z, width x, width y, height from bottom height to top, rotation

ZONE

Although technically an IPL section, this is usually only used in zone files (extension .zon).

BLOK
