TOBJ is a section in the item definition file. It is used to define standart map objects with an additional ingame time range defining when the object gets rendered. It's format is similar to standart map objects. GTA IV does also support time controlled objects linked to animations. For more information about this see TANM.

GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas

This section is incomplete. You can help by fixing and expanding it.

ID, ModelName, TextureName, ObjectCount, DrawDistance, [DrawDistance2, ...], Flags, TimeOn, TimeOff
Identifier Description
ID
Unique object ID.
ModelName
Name of the .dff model file without extension.
TextureName
Name of the .txd texture dictionary without extension.
ObjectCount
Number of clumps. 1 by default and optional for San Andreas.
DrawDistance
Draw distance in units (one for each clump).
Flags
Object flags (see below).
TimeOn, TimeOff
Activation and deactivation time in hours.

GTA IV

ModelName, TextureName, DrawDistance, Flags, Unknown, MinX, MinY, MinZ, MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ, SphereX, SphereY, SphereZ, Radius, LOD Model, NightFlag
Identifier Description
ModelName
Name of the .wdr model file without extension.
TextureName
name of the .wtd texture dictionary without extension.
DrawDistance
Draw distance in units.
Flag1
Object flag (see below).
Unknown
Unknown integer (0 by default).
MinX, MinY, MinZ
Lower left corner of the bounding box for the object.
MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ
Upper right corner of the bounding box for the object.
SphereX, SphereY, SphereZ
Center of the bounding sphere for the object.
Radius
Radius of the bounding sphere into all dimensions.
LOD Model
Name of the .wdd file that contains the lod model for the defined modelname.
NightFlag
If enabled (1) the object only shows at nighttime, otherwise the object gets only rendered at daytime. Day- and nighttimes are hardcoded.

For more information read the definition of Standart map files.

Object flags

Flags are used to specify the behaviour of objects. They are signed 32-bit integer values where each bit describes a boolean value of an special aspect.

Flag Supported games Binary Description
-1 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 Enables all flags.[a] Never used by default.
1 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 Wet effect (objects appear darker).
2 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 Do not fade the object when it is being loaded into or out of view.
4 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 Allow transparencies of other objects to be visible through this object.
8 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1000 Alpha transparency 2
16 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 Opposite to flag 2
32 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000 Indicates an object to be used inside an interior.
64 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000 Disables the shadow mesh to project a shadow; allow transparencies of other objects, shadows, and lights to be visible through this object.
128 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 Object surface will not be culled.
256 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 Disables draw distance (Only used for LOD objects with an LOD value greater than 299).
512 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000 0000 Object is breakable (like glass – additional parameters defined inside the object.dat file, otherwise there is no effect).
1024 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000 0000 Similar to flag 512: object first cracks on a strong collision, then it breaks (does also require object.dat registration).
2048 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 Indicates an object as an garage door (for more information see GRGE – requires object.dat registration).
4096 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 Indicates a multi mesh object (Object switches from mesh 2 to mesh 1 after collision – requires object.dat registration).
16384 San Andreas 0000 0000 0100 0000 0000 0000 Indicates a vegetation object (Object moves in wind).
32768 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 Uses object brightness from the current weather definition (See timecyc.datPoleShd).
65536 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 Object explodes after getting hit (requires object.dat registration).
131072 San Andreas 0000 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 Unknown – apparently some flag for the Script.

2097152 San Andreas 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Disables backface culling – as an result the texture will be drawed on both sides of the model (Always enabled for GTA III and Vice City)
