This thread will show you how to install:

1. Vehicles

2. Weapons

- GENERAL FOR MODDING

You will need a software which can open the GTA archives. You will find two links, you can choose which software you want to use.

OpenIV: http://openiv.com/

SparkIV: http://code.google.com/p/gtaivtools/downloads/list (seperate for IV and the Episodes)

After you have installed one of these, open it, have my mod opened.

The next steps are splitted, because I have two kinds of mods I release.


1.1 Navigate this path: pc \ models \ cdimages \ *open vehicles.img

(FOR OpenIV USERS) From there, make sure you are in 'Edit mode'. You can find it on the upper task (next to the path).

1.2 Replace *.wft and *.wtd files.

1.3 When you play the EFLC, some cars may have another path. Double check by following this path (only if you install your mods on EFLC): TBoGT \ pc \ models \ cdimages *open vehicles.img

After you checked, you don't need OpenIV/SparkIV anymore. Close it.

1.4 Now, navigate through your game folders.

Steam: SteamApps \ common \ Grand Theft Auto IV / Episodes from Liberty City

Retail: Rockstar Games \ Grand Theft Auto IV / Episodes from Liberty City

When you are in the game folder, navigate this path: common \ data

1.5 Install the handling.dat line by replacing the desired.

1.6 Install the vehicle.ide line by replacing the desired.

When you're installing mods in EFLC, there is a second handling.dat and vehicle.ide.

Now, your car mod has been installed.


2.1 Navigate this path: pc \ models \ cdimages \ *open weapons.img

(FOR OpenIV USERS) From there, make sure you are in 'Edit mode'. You can find it on the upper task (next to the path).

2.2 Replace *.wft and *.wtd files.

2.3 When you play the EFLC, some weapons may have another path. Double check by following this path (only if you install your mods on EFLC): TBogT \ pc \ models \ cdimages *open weapons.img

2.4 After you checked, you don't need OpenIV/SparkIV anymore. Close it.

There are a bunch of other mods, but since I specialize myself on vehicles and weapons, this two steps show you how to install both. If you have any further questions, you can write them in the comments.
