IV-LANE (Complete Roads Overhaul using DKT70's HD Roads Textures)

I have an issue with parking texture near Brian's house in TLAD (Complete Edition). Not sure if I have a conflict with another mod just leave it here.

To install using FusionFix or IV Tweaker do these steps:

- download the .oiv installer
- open .oiv installer using winRar or other archive tools
- extract the "content" folder to e.g. the desktop
- open "content" folder and search within for
- *.wdr
- *.wtd
- *.img (only gtxd.img)
- create an empty ivlane.img using OpenIV and place all the wdr and wtd files in there
- to create an empty .img simply duplicate gtxd.img and open it with OpenIV to delete the files within
- defragment the ivlane.img archive using OpenIV ("File -> Defragmentation")
- create a folder in "modloader" of IV Tweaker and name it sth like "IV_LANE"
- place ivlane.img and gtxd.img in that folder

in the end for IV Tweaker it should look like this:
- GTAIV\modloader\IV_LANE\ivlane.img
- GTAIV\modloader\IV_LANE\gtxd.img

or using FusionFix:
- GTAIV\update\ivlane.img
- GTAIV\update\gtxd.img

You seem to have accidentally included a coca cola texture, you can see it on a billboard in Alderney. I found the file tho its in nj_01.img, nj01policeground.wtd and the texture is ecola2_c_old.

Could you make it a drag and drop and/or compatible with Fusion OverLoader? I don't know which files to replace for uninstall.

I created a video making a remaster of gta 4 and used one of your mods. I promised subscribers to create an installer but said that first I would ask permission from the modders who created it. Can I do the installer? (It's free and you will receive credits) By the way, I put credits in the video too

@UncleDisco

Can you reupload this? It's no longer available at all. GDrive just says there's nothing at that URL when I click it.

In case you are not being able to download the .oiv files of IV-Lane directly from the GDrive link in the pdf file, this is due to the high amount of daily downloads of the mod. GDrive restricts those requests and basically removes the download option for a brief period of time. There is a workaround to this. Right-click the .oiv file you want to download, click on "Make a copy" and then a pop-up in the lower-left corner of your screen will indicate a "Show file location" button which you'll need to click on. That will transfer to your own GDrive and there you can right click on the copy of the .oiv file you just created and download it as per usual.

Problem solved from below. Although OpenIV insists it doesn't need to be opened as admin and when you do open it as admin it promts you that "you no need to run OpenIv with administrator privileges" and asks you to restart ignore it and then it works, Might as well keep my comment there in case anyone else runs into the same issue

I want to update, I played it last two times and it happens after maybe an hour. This annoying texture loading bug. So the only change is it happens after hour not 20 minutes before defragmentation

@Libertz It looks like it helped, so that's a welcome sight. I didn't use this OpenIV feature before, but I will definitely try it. Thank you for pointing it out!

01/13/2023 12:24

@UncleDisco I played it now for about an hour and it didn't happen after defragmentation. Interesting. Do you think it could really have helped? yesterday before defragmentation it happened maybe after 15/20 minutes

Citar | Responder

01/13/2023 11:18

@UncleDisco I tried to defragment all those files by openIV in your mod, after I did it they have a lot less MB. It did usually help in vehicles.img file when I had this issue a few years back. So Im gonna try that. However with default textures like I said I didnt have this texture issue with that car pack. about commandline Im using this all the time:
-Nomemrestrict
-refreshrate 60
-availablevidmem 10
-norestrictions
-novblank
-shadowquality 3
-renderquality 4
-forcehighqualitymirrors
-fullspecaudio

any further advice, something I should add/remove/change?

as I can see in stream.ini I already have those 409600 values so there is not anything else I can do?. Thanks for answering.

01/12/2023 19:43

@Libertz This is due to how poorly optimized the PC port of GTA IV is and there isn't much to do here. Regarding your issue, a lot of it has to do with the vehicle mod pack that you're using, which, by default, uses a lot more memory within the game and so it increases the chances of texture popping, as the one you described. Adding IV-Lane to it it's only going to make matters worse, since it uses 1024x textures. Only advice I could give you is, if you haven't already, to create a commandline.txt within the game directory with the -nonmemrestrict and -norestrictions lines of text in it. Also, if your PC has 4 or more GB or RAM, you can change the value from "204800" to "409600" to all the lines of text from stream.ini which is located in the "pc" folder from GTA IV's directory. It's highly recommended to use Zolika1351's utilities, both his trainer and his patch, and also the mod called RIL.Budgeted by NTAuthority.

@4m3lg In the next update, there will be added an EFLC only installer for IV-Lane. The current EFLC package available for download only targets the files from the Complete variant of GTA IV, which has both the base game and the episodes, hence why it cannot be installed on an EFLC only variant like the one you play on.

Citar | Responder

01/12/2023 19:10

@shuvo030 An automatic uninstaller will be added in the next update, which will make things easier for everyone that wants to revert to the original textures and/or use other texture mods instead. Until then, you can simply install IV-Lane, then backup the gtxd.img file from pc->data->cdimages and replace it with any other road texture mod you desire. Just remember that gtxd.img does not include all of the textures that IV-Lane modifies.

This mod installer thing is a bit problematic. I have to backup the whole game and cannot just replace "gtxd.img" if I want to swap road textures? Is there a manual method? I just want to swap road textures quickly. 🤔
