(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Yo,


I want to share some s*t i was doing while playing around with the ps3.rpf and common.rpf files on the BackUped Version of GTA IV. I recommend Back Up GTAIV on HDD for everyone, cuz u will boost ur modding options ..


Why should i download this stuff?

- Cuz GTA is 5 years old and this is something new and crazy on PS3.


What you need for this stuff?

- Back Up of GTA IV Disc version PS3


How to BackUp Games with Multiman:



Here is how i did BackUp Disc-->external HD (there are different ways i just show mine)

- Get the latest Multiman pkg (jut google install)
- Get the bdemu2.pkg (just google install)
- Insert GTA IV disc
- Start Multiman
- Klick SQUARE on GTA IV icon in Multiman
- Choose Copy
- Copy the Game 2 an external hdd drive (if u use usb drive u will need 16GB)
- wait the progress -2hours (note dont trust the calculated remain time by multiman its not that long)
- Now ur game is on the external drive
- Get the Disc out of the BD drive
- insert a random Gamedisc (needed for the mirror)

If u did everything right, u will now see the random Game above the GTA copied version in Multiman XMB (XMB: MENU)

- Klick on the GTA-Copy with SQUARE (Now the Game Menu will show up)
- choose Boot Options to EXTERNAL/BD MIRROR)
- Start the Game with START Button
- You will now be kicked to the ps3 XMB
- The random Game u inserted is used as the BD Mirror and should be GTA IV now..

Congrats, you just Backed Up GTA IV to an external device.


Where to replace the files?

Now that you did this, grab the modded ps3.rpf and the common.rpf and replace them on ur external device in:

[-BackUp the originals first-]

dev_usb(Place of BackUp)/GAMES/BLES(or BLUS)00229-[Grand Theft Auto IV]/PS3_GAME


Aaight, just start the Game from Multiman and you will have the Mods running..

HOW to DO TSUNAMI?


Quick Guide:

Stand Still above the water level and watch the surface. DO nothn until u see the wave building up.

Long Guide and experiences:

If u play with the rules of ingame physics its animal style fun, if not you will lagg ur arse wound. I havent figured out everything but i recommend to first use this on singleplayer or private multiplayer to get a feelin for the waves and after this u can go riding your boat thru Liberty City, looking at all these poor peds swimming around and get punshed by the waves. lmao

This mod changed the boundaries of water in the water.dat file. But i think there are more files needed to make this real stabile. It has a lot of bugs if u cross the places where the surface of the water hits the surface of the ground (same height). View Places like Time Square i.e are on that level and u will see the water disappear in ur view for a moment but not the physics of the water.

If you die, it could happen that you spawn under the water. Look above you will see the surface. Spawn a boat to get up savely without any lag. Dont try car/slingshot!

If you join a random game (u aint host) and u are under the water, spawn a boat again.

If you Slingshot while under the water, you will have serious bugs/laggs!

If you want TSUNAMI waves park ur boat and see what happens until a while.
(Beware they will get realy huge! i recommend to turn god mode off and if they are to big and lag ur game just
hit triangle alot to get out and u will die soon.)



If you stand still to long, it sometime happen that the waves get to whereever u are and out of control. (look at pic 4)

If you get Waves too uncontrollable, teleport ur character to higher places.

If you dont want that shit anymore: Replace the common.rpf with the other one.


word.


BUGS:

Loading time increased 20sec with black screen 10sec.

Tried doing this and made my loading screen for TBoGT Darker, dosen't load..

I used some script.img and script_network.img..

Ffs.

could you send me the files for that display picture of that blond holding the iPhone please?

i sold my jailbreaked ps3 a day before this came out -.-

I think GTA's 1.06 update blocked out any possible modifications to the RPFs. If you're getting the darkened screen, try removing the update (your installed game data) and then loading up the game and skip the update. Just won't be able to go online with this method.

Is that right Schnittlauch?

10,763mg omg. i hate backing up games.

No, that aint right, sorry.

You mixed some infos in your posts. The update.img will only appear if you patch GTA to 1.06.

But you were right at one point. Some files in the .rpf archives seems to be uneditable on PS3 but not on XBOX and if u remove the update.img and all other files coming with the 1.06 patch you wont be able to connect with players on 1.06 version of this game. BUT you will meet people on PS3 DEMO mode or other modders on 1.00 version.

Has anybody ever tried to mod the handlings.dat in the ps3.rpf?

I never had any luck to use some drift mods, but i know a friend on XBOX who is using this with no problems at all. This appeares to be the case on lots of .dat files in the common&ps3.rpf..
