    After understanding that my installation was all good, I tried loading all the map of GTA IV on SM.

    I saw that the memory went all the way up in cache (4,91 Go of map had loading all in RAM) – I understood there was a batch file pack. It was hard to find on the net but I found it and decided to reupload it for all the modders and mappers out there.

    Here is the link to it :

    Same bug as maor.

    GTA IV 1.0.7.0
    Shadow Mapper 0.1b & 0.1b x64 & 0.1a

    Changed the [versions] in the settings.ini in all of them

    Loading stops at pc/anim/cutsprops1 (40%).

    Any idea ?

    I have installed the Java 7 (jr7) and the … Oh WAIT !

    Trying to fix all the bugs I could find – I found that I used JR6 policy files for the Java Cryptography system’s library – and TADA – I’m on JR7…

    Downloaded the JR7 library and I passed the 40%. x64 version did not launch.
    Tried x86 version of SM with the JR7 policy libraries… and it opened perfect !

    Thank you Link.

    Will try to get a hand on your luxurious piece of software 🙂 !

    What can we do to convince you to go forward with this? It’s hard to lay out a map in 3dsmax properly with objects that need to be moved around and everything! A proper editor would be amazing and I know many people would appreciate it if you came back to finishing what is truly a gem to modding.

    Thanks 😀

    Maybe you can release the source code so the community can keep pushing it up. 🙂

    I was just wondering, since you aren’t working on this anymore, if you still have the source code, could you release it? I’d love to see how you do everything, and possibly update it 🙂 (not release it, unless you allow it).

    This mod is awesome! BUT, I have EFLC (my original GTA disc was lost).

    How can I make this work for EFLC? Your program wants me to select the GTAIV.exe file, but my file is EFLC.exe or something like that…

    In this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\EFLC

    I really want to edit the map! Are you still working on this… or??? You are the only person in the world who has a map editor for GTA IV!

    Thanks!

    Hey, I saw you quit- well, I guess it’s sad but we all need a break sometimes, eh? Just wondering if you can help me get it running- I’m on windows 7 32Bit. I’ve installed the policy files, got java, read the readme and all that jazz, but it won’t run. I run Startmenu.bat, press ‘4’ for 1024mb mode, select my GTA IV installation that’s not read-only, but all I get is alot of text in the command line window, I think I posted the result in the Shadow Mapper gtaforums.com thread. I’m a wee bit unsure how to solve this, and I’d quite like some help on setting it up. But hey man, if you’re busy, don’t worry about it. Thanks in advance,
    Fish!

    Ik vindt dat je tot op heden perfect werk heb geleverd better dan ik of iemand anders tot op heden had kunnen doen ( anders hadden ze het wel gedaan )

    vindt het erg jammer dat je dit nu zelf niet meer ondersteund.
    Dat je dit nu dus overlaat aan derden.

    want het nadeel daarvan is dat het nooit jouw flair of kwaliteits eisen krijgt.

    Hoewel SM voor mij redelijk werkt 😛 is er plaast voor verbetering hoewel ik nog wel eens wil benadrukken dat je echt netjes werk heb geleverd

    ok kan ik goed begrijpen waarom dit alles nu zo gaat

    Je Bouwt iets op met moeite en tijd voooral veel tijd en vervolgens is het voor de mensen nooit goed genoeg.
    praat me er niet van.

    Maar wat ik probeer te zeggen is ga vooral zo door doe wat voor jouw goed voelt laat je vooral niet opnaaien.
    hoop dat er ooit nog een revolutie in shadow mapper komt zoals shadow mapper zelf ooit was

    ok vriend ,
    nog 2 twee kleine vraagjes misschien instaleerd ik het mis

    Copy the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar to the “Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security” folder (default)
    —–>moet ik die files vervangen of niet

    en

    Go to your GTA IV folder and make sure “read only” is ticked off

    moet de read only geselekteerd zijn of niet????

    antwoord aub
