Delete all the files for SPARKIV and than redownload it could of got messed up downloading. Than put all the files in the .RAR in the same place.

So all the files that comes in the .RAR put into a folder called SPARKIV ( will have to make that folder) Than use the SPARKIV.EXE to launch it.

there is no such things as 1.0.7.6....http://support.rocks...d-title-updates that's the official updates, I suggest that you get that checked out. Also you can download GFWL from here: http://www.xbox.com/.../downloadclient, LCPD:FR should automatically detect your GTA IV folder location.

As for adding mods, if it's cars you will need a copy of SparkIV or OpenIV (both free use google to find them) and replace the files (most mods give good help files), for mod programs then most go in to the scripts, but check any read me first.txt files as they usually tell you where to put files.

Hello,

First I'd like to say that I'm not a modder, so please bere with me and my ignorance of life's simple matters...

I need some help and I'm not sure what forum to look under... I need help with adding a texture file to a car. I've searched youtube and (what feels like) all the forums on LCPDFR for "how to install texture packs" -type content and found this so if I'm in the wrong thread, I'm sorry but I'm pulling my hair out going nuts!

I have a CVPI Sheriff texture I'd like to add to my non-els CVPI cruiser (and yes, I want to use this specific car if at all possible). I watched a youtube video where a guy was going through his Sparkiv teaching people how to install vehicles, but he never touched on the subject of how to add actual textures to existing models. However, when he had Sparkiv open, I noticed that the two files he was "importing" were texture and model files (the .wtf file said "texture" and the .wtd file said "model")... so here's the million dollar question I need answered but no one seems to want to explain:

If I import the .wtd model of my old car and the .wtf texture of my new sheriff, will my CVPI show up as a Sheriff?

Am I trying to put the square peg in the circle hole? Am I on the right track but need to also do something else, as-well? Please, I'm not a modder and want to use my LCPD CVPI as a Sheriff substituted under the NOOSE cruiser slot. Before you scream at me to look at the readme, I went to the trouble of highlighting the above quote in red because most of the readme's I've seen say something to the effect of "this product belongs to me blahblahblah, no copywriting blahblahblah, and just put the files where they belong, and don't forget to subscribe to me and look at all my videos and check out my twitter account... derp".

Ugh!

Thanks so much guys!

Agreed

I'm sorry, I'm used to forum moderators getting angry when people open new threads for a simple question. I am aware I was off topic, I wanted to post here because of your quote that I highlighted and the title of the thread is "Need Help Please".
