openFormats

The openFormats are a set of open, text-based, intermediate file formats that allows users to export/import GTA IV/EfLC resources into different 3D modeling programs like 3DS Max. Currently you can import/export openFormats files into 3DS Max with GIMS. The formats are similar in concept to .WSO files used in The Sims Resource Workshop, being that the latter also implements an intermediate format for easier resource editing.
