Alright, I'm no idiot with this, I just can't get it to work. I remember a few years ago I was able to use SparkIV to dump horns.ivuad into the resident file, but it doesn't seem to work now. It either gives me errors saying that the one I'm trying to throw in doesn't match the ones in resident, or it wont let me dump it in period. At one point I extracted the files in resident, put in the new horns, repackaged it, and dumped it into GTA, but GTA wouldn't start after that.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is the Siren your trying to replace named: HORNS.ivuad.

Also, Make sure your doing the right steps: Run Spark IV as admin, Scroll down to PC> SFX> Type in filter res, Find Resident.rpf, Double click on it, Import the file, Save/rebuild, Exit ALL of Spark iv, Run the game, Enjoy,

If your already doing this, Im at a loss, Not really the best with Spark IV errors sorry bud, Hope this helps at least, JAM.

Well GTA runs fine. Anyway I just extracted the files inside the resident folder, and saved a new copy of resident.rpf on my desktop, edited it there, and threw it back into GTA. Hopefully that'll work.

This is because SparkIV is trying to replace the file named w/e you named it. Looking at your picture there, it's empty. So there's nothing to replace.

SparkIV is setup to replace files, to make replacing easier. But you are adding a file.

Use OpenIV, it had no problems with adding or replacing files. I still perfer SparkIV for replacing, but if you need to add a file, use OpenIV.

Let me know if this helps you out at all.

I prefer OpenIv too, but it won't let me edit the resident file.

Then you have to use the Editor mode, there is a button in OpenIV.

I would if I could, but I can't. Remember guys, I'm not new to this stuff.

It's called Edit Mode. The button for it is near the top of the window.

I kinda know, but you know... When it's greyed out, and unclickable it kinda doesn't work.

Then you must be trying to edit a RPF Version 3. Open IV won't edit that for some reason. No idea why.
