IDE Sections:
|
Item definition files, usually identified by the file extension .ide
, are used to declare many different aspects for the map system or to specify special behaviour rules for one of the aspects.
Contents
Format
The files are plain text, so they can be opened with text editors such as Notepad. They resemble CSV files, but with some extra features.
Comments
Comments are prefixed with the #
symbol. Anything after that symbol is ignored, which means that comments can appear on their own lines as well as at the end of other lines:
# This comment has its own line.
data1, 183, 2.2 # This comment is at the end of a line.
Sections
Files are separated into sections with section...end
directives:
section_name
# ...
end
Sections are global – multiple files can contribute to them
Data
Data values can be comma- or space-delimited: commas are replaced with spaces when the game reads a line from the file.
# Both are valid:
123, mystring, 22.4
123 mystring 22.4
Additionally, because the game uses sscanf()
to parse these files, any number of spaces is read whenever a single space is encountered in the format string in the game code. As such, values can be aligned into columns:
# Identifier Some value Another value
1 a_value 12345
2 another 67890
Rockstar developers used this alignment ability a lot.
Rules and details
- The game only reads 256 characters per line. Anything longer will be truncated.
- Section identifiers and the
end
string are case-sensitive. - The files are ASCII-encoded. The game does not expect non-ASCII characters to appear, so they will likely cause issues.
- Decimal places in floating-point values must use
.
as the decimal point character.,
would be replaced with a space when read. - Any ASCII control characters – anything less than the space character,
0x20
– is replaced with a space when the game reads the character. The same is done for commas. - After reading a line, the game re-reads it to find the first character that is not a space or control character. The final line string starts from this character. This is equivalent to trimming the start of the string.
- In 3D era games, the section identifiers are always 4 characters long. GTA IV largely adheres to this convention, but not always.
Sections
The following table contains all known sections in the item definition. The supported games column lists games that support the sections but it doesn't necessarily means they're functional in the games.
Section | Supported games | Description |
---|---|---|
objs |
Defines simple objects. They can be placed into the world through the inst section of the item placement files.
| |
tobj |
Defines time objects. The section functions similarly to objs but has two additional parameters defining the in-game time range the object can get rendered. These objects can be placed into the world through the inst section of the item placement files.
| |
hier |
Defines clump objects for use in cutscenes. | |
cars |
Defines vehicle objects. | |
peds |
Defines pedestrian objects (random NPC's). | |
path |
Adds path nodes to defined objects. This section is unstable in Vice City. | |
2dfx |
Adds particle effects and simple ped behaviors to defined objects. | |
weap |
Defines weapon objects. | |
anim |
Defines animated objects. The section functions similarly to objs but has one additional parameter indicating an IFP or WAD animation file to assign an animation to the object. These objects can be placed into the world through the inst section of the item placement files.
| |
txdp |
Used to virtually extend texture dictionaries. | |
tanm |
Used to combine tobj and anim sections.Those objects get placed inside the inst section of the WPL.
| |
tree |
This section is not functional. | |
vnod |
– | |
link |
– | |
mlo |
Used to create interiors. This section does also contain information about portals (previous enex connections) and dimensions of the interior which influences certain aspects, like the weather, for example. All objects are placed relative to an offset placed using mlo+ inside the IPL or WPL file.
| |
amat |
This is Audio Materials. Possible Used to make a sound effect at the model. Usually used for dynamic objects. | |
lodm |
This section is not functional. | |
agrps |

IDE Flags
Flags are used in order to specify the behaviour of objects. They are interpreted as signed 32-bit integer values where each bit describes a boolean value of a different aspect.
GTA III
Bits | Dec | Hex | Name | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 1 | 0x1 | - | Cull model if player doesn't look at it? Read, but ignored. | Fences |
1 | 2[1] | 0x2 | DO_NOT_FADE | Do not fade the object when it is being loaded into or out of view. | Some lampposts |
2 | 4[1] | 0x4 | DRAW_LAST | Model is transparent. Render this object after all opaque objects, allowing transparencies of other objects to be visible through this object. | Trees |
3 | 8 | 0x8 | ADDITIVE | Render with additive blending. Previous flag must be enabled too. | |
4 | 16[1] | 0x10 | IS_SUBWAY | Model is a tunnel, i.e. set the object as invisible unless the player enters cull zone flag 128. This flag works only with static models. | Tunnels, some dynamic objects |
5 | 32 | 0x20 | IGNORE_LIGHTING | Don't use static lighting, we want dynamic if it's possible. | Some lampposts and trafficlights |
6 | 64[1] | 0x40 | NO_ZBUFFER_WRITE | Model is a shadow. Disable writing to z-buffer when rendering it, allowing transparencies of other objects, shadows, and lights to be visible through this object. Not implemented in the PS2 version. | Shadow |

Difference between GTA III and GTA IV engines
GTA IV not only uses different formats to the previous games, it also does not use IDs to identify objects anymore. While GTA III era games use an ID as an index inside an array of definitions, GTA IV uses the hashes of the model name as a key inside a hash table. For more information about this see Map system.
