WEAP (IDE section)
Supported games:GTA VC, GTA SA, GTA IV
Brief description:Used to define weapons
IDE Sections:
2DFX AMAT ANIM CARS HIER HAND MLO OBJS
PATH PEDS TANM TOBJ TREE TXDP WEAP

WEAP is a section in the item definition file. It is used to define weapons. The format is similar to OBJS. However GTA 3 defined weapons inside the OBJS section, so this section can be seen as an extented objects section. In any case additional weapon information gets defined inside the weapon.dat file.

Format

Vice City and San Andreas

ID, ModelName, TextureName, AnimationName, ObjectCount, DrawDistance, [DrawDistance2, ...], Flags
Identifier Description
ID
Unique object ID.
ModelName
Name of the .dff model file without extension.
TextureName
Name of the .txd texture dictionary without extension.
AnimationName
Name of the .ifp animation file 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).

GTA IV

ModelName, TextureName, AnimationName, ObjectCount, DrawDistance, [DrawDistance2, ...], Flags
Identifier Description
ModelName
Name of the .wdr model file without extension.
TextureName
name of the .wtd texture dictionary without extension.
AnimationName
Name of the .wad animation dictionary without extension.
ObjectCount
Number of clumps for previous games. Apparently unused for GTA IV.
DrawDistance
Draw distance in units (one for each clump).
Flags
Object flags (see below).

Object Flags

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