Hello everyone! I have been looking for a while and found out how to mod gta 4, PS3! i am glad to post this because i wanna see more gta mods because that game i just so damn cool and mods make it ever BETTERER!

Theres a lot more you can do with these programs, you just have to use them and see what you can do. You can do everything from changing the color of cars to changing the handeling, to making all the people for some reason pissed off at you. You just need to decompile the commen.rfp with OPEN IV and look at all the goodie files in there to mod! IV Needle has something to mod just about every file. i will always be adding more to this thread because i wanna see some more awsome mods!!!

You need these files

Go back to where you see the three folders and this time select the folder TEXT.
Delete all the languages EXCEPT your own. I will delete all the ones except American.gxt. since my game is in American. apparently not English.
(we delete the unneeded languages because the file cannot be bigger than the original or the game will not work.)

Click on File then click Rebuild and hit yes

This is older than oldest

I was wondering if u downloaded bogt from psn data transfer to cfw 3.55 would u be able to mod it then data transfer back to 3.73? To play online

Nice TUT will defo use it

You can but when you play with the mods online you will get banned

would the mods work for everone or just yourself

Just you because they wouldn't have the same common.rpf file as you unless they have the exact same file as you then whoever has the same file as you will have the same mods

post the source and i will rep you no need for you to get rep for something you didnt write!

have you tried this method yet this is the only way to get common.rpf online correct?

thanks =D
