Our team have great plans for GTA V modding and today I want to share some of them with you:
In the next several months, we are going to update all our core tools and mods, and then make first release of our Liberty City in V convertor.
Our current plan is pretty simple:

1. OpenIV 2.9
2. OpenIV 2.9.1 + openCamera 2.0
3. OpenIV 3.0 + Liberty City in V [Beta 1]

We do not have exact or even estimate dates, but for now we are plan to release first version of Liberty City during the spring season (March, April, May).
That is all I have for you today.

Today, we are happy to announce the new release of OpenIV 2.8. This release focuses on openFormats, Package Installer and user interface improvements. As you can see in the video above, we are finally bringing support for basic GTA V models into openFormats. Soon, you will be able to edit and create YDR and YDD models using 3DS Max.

Here are major changes in OpenIV 2.8 release:

openFormats for Grand Theft Auto V

We have added ability to export and import of YDR/ODR and YDD/ODD model files. To work with new formats, you will need new tools, our plugins for 3DS Max will be released soon. However, openFormats still have some limitation with formats, but they will be eliminated in future updates.

Package Installer

Package Installer now have log, so you can easily check, what is going wrong in the installation process. Also, we update OIV Package format to version 2.1, which brings commands for editing XML files and more. Please check new specification here.

Administrator mode notification

Starting from this version, OpenIV will show you notification, if you launched OpenIV as Administrator. If you need, OpenIV will help you to set correct permissions for your game folder, so you will no need to run OpenIV as Administrator.

UI Improvements and bug fixes

The user interface has many minor improvements and bug fixes. For example, you will see new commands for global search results.
