Have you read the readme that undoubtedly comes with the mod?

Yes. About 8 times.

With "it cannot be played", what do you mean with that?

Well, i can see it in the OpenIV library, but it can't be played. Only see a blank file.

You're not supposed to play it outside the game.... You need to install it in OpenIV and then run the game?

But you can play files from openIv, iv'e done that before.

One question: Does it work in-game?

I have not tested.

I have not tried that out yet.

Please do that and then return here. If it doesn't work, you did something wrong. 

 

Hopefully someone else can help with your issue.

And now my game crashes.

Hmmm, try reinstalling OpenIV or use SparkIV and did you by any chance erase "Resident.rpf" (located in PC>Audio>Sfx)

Would it help reinstalling? BTW i use openIV because Spark dont work for me. And resident.rpf is still there.

You can try, did you try using a different siren mod (there might be something wrong with the one you have) and what do you mean SparkIV doesn't work? When it says 'Not Responding" you are supposed to wait a couple seconds and not touch the program and if that doesn't work, then reinstall the game.

Maybe if you give us the name of the siren mod, it can help us better.

Don't install sound mods with OpenIV, for some reason it deletes the file type and sets it to a blank file. Install the same siren with SparkIV, and it'll work fine. 

 

Also, if SparkIV isn't working, try exporting the rar contents to your GTA IV folder and running it from there.

thats if you don't rebuild the whole sound file if im correct

Just install the siren with SparkIV. That's what I do. Sirens with SparkIV, and the rest with OpenIV.

Well, for more precise problem with my SparkIV, i can download it, i can install it, but when i run it it says "SparkIV has stopped working". And i run it as Admin.

 

 

IT WORKS!
