General changes, improvements, and fixes

Hello everyone,
As part of preparing our next OpenIV release, we decided to move OIV Package Format specification from our own wiki to GitHub repository.

• From now on, you can find OIV Package Format specification here:
  https://github.com/OpenIV-Team/OpenIV-PackageFormat
• The future specification for openFormats will be published here:
  https://github.com/OpenIV-Team/OpenIV-openFormats
• Moreover, we have dedicated GitHub repository for OpenIV localizations here:
  https://github.com/OpenIV-Team/OpenIV-Languages

Since Package Format specification was the only useful thing on our wiki, we are closing it.

If you have, any suggestions on how we can improve our documentation feel free to leave a comment or create an issue on GitHub.

Thank you and we see you soon…
OpenIV Team.

Today we glad to announce new OpenIV Documentation Wiki.

Currently this Wiki contain detailed description of OIV Packages, both version, 1.1 and 2.0. With time, we will add openFormats documentation in this wiki. In addition, we will add detailed description about how to translate OpenIV into your language.
Since this is a Wiki, you also can contribute and improve it content, and even if you want, you can make a translation into your own language.

Some time ago we have released an OpenIV with openFormats for Max Payne 3 models, and today we are glad to release the new version of GIMS Evo plugin for 3Ds Max which allow you to import and export Max Payne 3 models.

Download GIMS Evo

Here you can watch a simple tutorial video, which show you the basics of how to work with GIMS Evo for Max Payne 3:

The last few weeks we had worked on one of the most required feature for PC version of GTA V. And now, we are proud to release OpenIV 2.6.4 with GTA V PC audio playback support. You are able to open any audio file or export it to .wav. Audio playback is a cool feature, but do you know what is even cooler? Audio editing. Yeah, many people want to change weapon or vehicle sounds and now, with a power of openFormats they are able to do so. Actually, you can edit any audio file in the game. Of course, we still have some unknown data in files, but now you can look at it or even try to change it to help figure it out. Here you can see simple “how to” video that explains basics of editing audio in GTA V:

Besides audio support, we made some improvements in other areas, as always you can find full change log here.
