This article may need to be rewritten. Please help improve this article. The discussion page may contain suggestions. |
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.
Contents
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
Identifier | Description |
---|---|
A number which is used to identify the object as defined in the IDE file inside the map system. | |
The name of the model inside an image file which is defined in the gta.dat file without extension (.dff )
| |
The position of the object in the world as floating point values. Note: the decimal seperator must be ".", not ",". | |
The scaling of the object as floating point values. By default each value is 1.0, which means the object is not scaled at all. Note: the decimal seperator must be ".", not ",". | |
The rotation of the object as quarternion. Note: the decimal seperator must be ".", not ",". |
Vice City format
ID, ModelName, Interior, PosX, PosY, PosZ, ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ, RotW
Identifier | Description |
---|---|
A number which is used to identify the object as defined in the IDE inside the map system. | |
The name of the model inside an image file which is defined in the gta.dat file without extension (.dff )
| |
A number defining the interior (render-level) the object is located in. It is an optional parameter; by default the object's interior is 0. | |
The position of the object in the world as floating point values. | |
The scaling of the object as floating point values. By default each value is 1.0, which means the object is not scaled at all. | |
The rotation of the object as quarternion. |
San Andreas format
ID, ModelName, Interior, PosX, PosY, PosZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ, RotW, LOD
Identifier | Description |
---|---|
A number which is used to identify the object as defined in the IDE inside the map system. | |
The name of the model inside an image file which is defined in the gta.dat file without extension (.dff ). The parameter doesn't seem to function in the game. Any name used will not affect the rendering of the model.
| |
A number defining the interior (render-level) the object is located in. | |
The position of the object in the world as floating point values. | |
The rotation of the object as quarternion. Note: the decimal seperator must be ".", not ",". | |
The number of the LOD which is located inside the same instance block as the current model. By default this is -1 which means no LOD is defined. |
CULL
Create a culling zone.
GTA III and Vice City format
CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, LowerLeftZ, UpperRightX, UpperRightY, UpperRightZ, Flags, Unknown
Identifier | Description |
---|---|
A point which defines the center of the box in real world coordinates | |
A point which corresponds to the lower left corner of the box. | |
A point which corresponds to the upper right corner of the box. | |
The behaviour of the cull zone. | |
Always 0 |
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
Identifier | Description |
---|---|
A coordinate of one of the corner marks | |

ENEX
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 gta.dat
else it can negatively affect currently placed markers. 376 of 400 possible enex connections are used in a standard game.
