Hey guys,

okay so my game keeps crashing everytime I try to add my mods... The mods that I currently have install are "ELS" "LCPDFR" "GTA 4 Trainer" "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsJRdKC1_xs" <--- That weapon sound mod... and that's it.... I'm guessing that it's the weapon sounds that are fucking everything up and I really need help figuring out how to fix it. I didn't backup my files witch I know is my biggest mistake. I forgot completely. Can someone help me find get the original Weapon sound files? And maybe weapon IMG files to be sure? I can't remember if I have those files replaced or not.

I really really don't want to have to uninstall and then re-install the game... I have had to do that know about 3 times today and once tomorrow... So if anyone could please help me... it would be very greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

Unfortunatly sending the original R* files is against the boards TOS, for copyright reasons, just stresses the importance of backing up your game completely.

In the future though install 1 mod at a time, and then test the game, if it runs fine add another in. Soon you will find out whats giving you the problems.

I would like to add that I just checked the weapon.ivaud file in OpenIV > GTA 4 > resident.rpf > RESIDENT and all the files in there say "Attributes (No)" and the Weapons one and Exploitation one both say there "Compressed" instead of no :|

Idk how the heck to fix that :(

That's what I did. I did one at a time and it stopped working after I did the sound mods. I remember that now. I went back to look and yeah, I'm sure its the sound mod. So the problem I believe is how the modded files say "Compressed" under "Attributes" in stead of just saying "No" and I don't know why? I followed a tut step by step 100% correctly...

Okay now I have checked again to find that the type is called "file" when every other one is called "sound" wth did I do wrong? I don't get it...

while uploading the original R* files is against the TOS, I have a modified, but working sounds file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4yd7w21akn26791

It's not the original file, some sounds are changed, but it does work. I hope it helps.
