[RELEASE] GTAIV Weapon Editor

This is a program to simplify the ability of modding the weapons in GTAIV. Everything is pretty straight-forward so there shouldn't be much need for explanations. Each tab in the program is dedicated to a particular set of weapon properties you are able to edit in the file.

NEW in v1.2: Now you are able to edit the thrown weapon info and melee animations, only if they've been loaded with the first weapon info.. yes, you have to choose both files when loading.

The user input doesn't have any error checking routines, so entering a value of "asdf" into clip size may result in unexpected results. Everything, except the flags, uses strings for compatibility reasons, so just be careful what you modify. Also entering a number like 99999 into ammo max will NOT work, instead use 9999 which does work. I believe the same goes for clip size although I haven't actually tested it.

If there are any errors with any of the weapons, the game simply doesn't load that weapon. So, if you have the pistol equipped when you save and enter 99999 as a value for ammo max, then reload the save, you won't have the pistol equipped when you check your weapons. You will also NOT be able to pick up any pistols that may be lying around. This does NOT work for law enforcement. I repeat, the pigs will still shoot at you!


You will need the Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 installed in order for this program to run at all.

Awesome work again, I've been meaning to edit some of my weapon properties and this will surely speed the process :) I went ahead and uploaded it to our file archive as well: http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/tools/1827

I didn't notice a property, FuseTime, which is only used by the grenade. I fixed it and updated the link.

[CoMPMStR]

I updated the program.

Says access to the file is denised whenever I save, any help on this? Using Vista btw and UAC is turned off, I also made sure that the Social Games prpgram wasn't running, and GTA IV itself definately wasn't running, either.

[rappo]

Make sure that the file isn't read-only.

[thenotsogoodtrickster]

Ok I'll check that, thanks

Oh! It worked, cheers mate

EDIT: Right, since doing that, GTA IV won't open :/ Gonna try restore to defaults

EDIT 2: Nope, still not working :/

Any idea how to fix this apart from reinstalling?

(also, sorry for the delete and repost of this, editing my post didn't seem to bring any attention)

[rappo]

did you install any of the file modding ability patches? you can't just edit your GTA IV files and play the game right off the bat.

[thenotsogoodtrickster]

That's where I've went wrong then. I'm used to simple modding older games, Halo was my favourite to mod, download tool, mess with some shit, and reboot the game. Newer games not like that?

And, what would you recommend I download and patch? And owuld it cure my non-loading problem?

[rappo]

There are a lot available, but I used aru's Magic IV: http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/tools/1860
You need to run the patch on the game's original files, though. So either you have to reinstall or you have to get the original files that you modded from someone with an unmodded game. If you decide to go the second route, send me a PM with whatever files you need and I'll see how I can help :)

[thenotsogoodtrickster]

I edited the values back into place, it was the sniper rifle's force I changed, changed it to 999 from 100. But I put it back, but if that won't suffice, it's the three files you load on this program, oh and I changed the fingerless gloves, oh heck, I'll just reinstall it.

My Mod Assistant is the best for making your game moddable. There are plenty of features in it that's not available in any other backup/restore utility for GTAIV (and more can be added if people would just ask).

Anyway if you get access denied for any file you're trying to save, it means it's read only (as rappo said previously). The best thing about my Mod Assistant is when you use it to backup a file it automatically sets the file's read-only status to false so it's quick and easy. No need to worry about the small details when there's so much other shit you need to learn. :D
