Hello, all

I had GTA IV installed on my C: harddisk, but because it took lots of space, along with Steam, I reinstalled it on another harddisk, the I:. But since then, I can't use SparkIV. I have tried everything I could find online, but it still isn't working.

I now use OpenIV, which also is a good program. But there is no possibility to install any audio files with OpenIV.

My request is for someone to install a siren, and then send the resident.rpf file.

I know it's a bit complicated but it's the only possibility.

If anyone would like to be so nice to do it, please leave a comment and I'll give more details.

Can you explain what the problem is (error spark gives you etc) and what you want us to do exactly?

Also, this doesn't belong in LCPDFR Support.

Moved to GTA IV discussion.

I'm not sure why you can't use sparkIV just because you moved the files ? All it is doing is opening a file. Now you may not be able to use the browse feature, but you should be able to use the open button and select the file you want to open. I tested this for the heck of it. All of my backup files are on my server. I was able to open the vehicle.img file on it. So it opened a file that's not even on my computer without any issues. You should be able to do the same.

I had same problem. I moved my GTA IV folder out of steam so steam would not run in the background. after that Spark would not work.

Spark for some reason even though I run it from my desktop and manualy open my GTA Folder it needs to find the GTA .exe in the default location.

So...Open your gtaIV folder and find "GTAIV.exe" and copy it. Then In steam / steam apps /common /Grand theft auto IV / GTAIV - paste the copied .exe file.

In other words Where the default location should be you need to have the GTAIV.exe file in place. Thats all, you dont need any other files there other than that. The problem arises when you completely remove the gta IV folder from steam and spark IV cant find the default .exe.

No idea why it is this way because I manualy locate my GTA folder with spark anyway but thats how it works *shrugs*

Oh forgot. If you cant get it working Ivaud can instal audio files.

Opps my bad. I moved my gtaIV.exe file and it failed. However I did find another solution. you can either copy the gtaIV.exe file into the sparkIV folder ,or I bet if you put the spark files into your root GTA directory it will work too. I tested by moving my gtaIV.exe file into the sparkIV directory and it worked again.

Nice one. Yeah spark has the "open" function for finding the folder but it also has the "Browse" which opens the default location. When that location has been moved spark seems to freak and wont start.

Happy tou got it working. I guess it don't matter where the GTAIV.exe goes as long as spark can find it.

Thank you all for the support, after all it worked. I'll close the topic now.
