Installation Guide 4 Icenhancer+Mods Update 12.08.

[legacyy]

IMPORTANT!

ALWAYS do a BACKUP of the files
Icenhancer ISN'T meant to be played on 1.0.7.0. Use 1.0.4.0!!!

Read the Readme.txt Files and pls look in the forum if a thread to your problem already exists !!!

Download Icenhancer 2.1 here: icelaglace.com/ [/b]

If you are using an ATI Card: Make sure that no Antialiasing is forced in the Catalyst Control Center

FIX FOR SHINING CARS:

Open icechader.fx with a text editor.
And set it to look like this:

//#define DEPTH_OF_FIELD
AND
//#define LQ_DOF
#define HQ_DOF

--> "I got a fresh GTA IV install, what should i do now?"

First install the Patch 1.0.4.0 (or 1.0.0.4), DO NOT use 1.0.7.0 (always installed for steam users) because reflections are buggy SSAO and Skylighting (most important thing from ENB Mod) don't work and never will.

Downloadlink for Patch 1040:
- GTAinside.com

IF YOU USE 1.0.4.0 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE MULTIPLAYER!!!

--> "I AM Steamuser and want to use ENB/Icenhancer"

DOWNGRADE from 1.0.7.0!!!
Here is the link: www.gtagaming.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2198415


--> "Okay, Patch 1.0.4.0 is installed what now?

First you need to make your game be able to be modded. For that you have to use xliveless (included in Ice 2.1 Package)
- XLiveLess
The Scripthook is very useful for Scripts or other things.
- GTAForums.com -> [BETA] GTAIV .Net ScriptHook

--> " GREAT, I made everything right and the game crashes after a few seconds -.- WTF...?!"

The "d3d9.dll" from ENB/Icenhancer doesn't work with Ingame Overlay like Xfire or MSI Afterburner. Close them before starting the game.


--> "Okay, I installed ENB/Icenhancer but i don't like some things. What can i do now?"

From now on YOU have to help yourself.

An english description of the iceconfig.ini file can be found here:
- Grand Theft Auto Bay

If you think it is too saturated, open iceshader.fx with an text editor and change the saturation here:

#define GlobalSaturation
float Saturation = 1.33; <- lower THIS value a bit
float AddContrast = 0.25;



- Optional Textures, Mods, Fixes -

--> "Where can i download Carmods, Texturen etc?"

This are the 3 most important Sites for these:

- www.gtainside.de
- www.gta4-mods.com
- www.gtamania.ru ("Скачать" means download)
And a good CarMod Installer helps a lot :
- GTAinside.com



--> "AWESOME I installed only a few cars and there are only Taxis?!?!"

That's the famous GTA Taxi-Bug.
This helps:
Chikamru Real Traffic
Traffic Fix v4
Trafficload (Traffic Fix v5)

--> "Okay, slowly everything is working, which Textures and Mods are recommended?"

FIRST!
I don't like these Big Texture Packs like Ultimate Textures, they aren't even HD, i recommend these here:

DKTronics70 Liberty City Textures Volume 1

disk.yandex.net/disk/public/?hash=0Hx%2B9ji8XuJc%2BAjkbFyBXU3ED%2BDywIY41dASAeJhBF0%3D&final=true
disk.yandex.net/disk/public/?hash=GzgrrEvSD5q/8jTG3vxeELh8dMReBApDGbwTA2Impfc%3D&final=true

All the new work from Lord Neophyte: www.gta4-mods.com/search/Lord%20Neophyte

His old HD Texture Pack for Liberty City:

- HD-Textures from Lord Neophyte (ALL IN ONE)
Copy to GTA IV/pc/data/maps and overweite the existing files.

Now a small list with some other nice Mods and Textures:

- GTAGarage.com » VIVA New York Mod
- GTAGarage.com » Real NYC Roadsigns
- GTAGarage.com » Real Billboards Project
- ZBNYNC's Alderney Texture Mod Part 1
- ZBNYNC's Alderney Texture Mod Part 2
- ZBNYNC's Bohan Texture Mod v2.0
- ZBNYNC's Broker Texture Mod v2.0
- ZBNYNC's Dukes Texture Mod v2.0
- ZBNYNC's Real Bus Advertisements
- GTA IV Script Mods - Simple Trainer Version 6.4
- GTA IV Vehicle Mods - No Vehicle Grain
- Camera control GTA 4 (perfect for Screenshots, Scrippthookdotnet.asi is needed!)



For all people with texture Problems: Use the programm CacheBoost, that helped with all my missing textures i got ingame

You can download the full version here: www33.zippyshare.com/v/64239231/file.html


You can find a lot more on the sites listed above. (especially gta4-mods.com and the Screenshot-Thread by PacketoverLoad from gtaforums.com)

NEW: Adding Cars
i'll explain about adding a new car in GTA IV

files you need from IV:

carcol.dat
cargrp.dat
default.dat
gta.dat
images.txt


others file:


a new car file(wft + wtd)
openIV

in this tutorial i'll be using test.wft & test.wtd as new car file and it replace turismo.
if your new vehicle didn't have handling or carcol, you can use the one it replace, but rename the name to your car name(test)
all words that's bold can be change to any name you like(don't use space)
while editing always follow the format of the file( space, CAPITAL LETTERS, and everything) don't make a blank new line or
delete a new line(it'll crash sometime).
don't change a vehicle that's in your parking(saved car) or you will get smpa60 error.
to add more than 24 vehicle you need patch 1.0.0.4(max 28).

1. edit default.dat, gta.dat and images.txt
default.dat -> add "HANDLING common:/data/newhandling.dat"

For me it changes between 300kb/s und 1mb/s
