Item list populated directly from interal files, so any new items are automatically added as soon as a new patch is downloaded. All modifications are stored in a separate.dat. XiaoMiTool V2 is the all-in-one tool to make modding easy for everyone with a Xiaomi smartphone. Why XiaoMiTool V2 exists Xiaomi devices awesome in hardware quality/price ratio, but when it comes to software anyone should be able to customize his own device and get the best experience out of it.
Since this is a minor release without new features, we do not have new video for you today.
Installation and updates improvements
With this release, we are starting to rollout our new install and update system. Here are the improvements from this first step:
- The setup package is now smaller.
- Download speed for updates from this version to the future version should be faster than previous.
Our future improvements for install and update system includes:
- Small partial patches support. This will allows us update some files of OpenIV (like RDR 2 filenames databases or localization packs) without updating whole application.
- Different update channels support. This will allows us to provide BETA versions before general release.
Those improvements planned to arrive later this year.
Red Dead Redemption 2 support
For Red Dead Redemption 2 support, our goal was to provide better user experience. We focused on two things: file names and bug fixes.
In OpenIV 4.0.1, we added many names for files, audio tracks and some of text keys. Modding community found and provided many of those names and strings. To keep track of all the names and other strings we created new GitHub repository that everyone can use and contribute. You can find it here – https://github.com/OpenIV-Team/RAGE-StringsDatabase, in this repository you can see all the names and strings that currently known by OpenIV, they are divided into text databases. Besides strings, it also contain set of small tools that allows you to work with those databases and makes it easier to add new strings yourself. Work is still in progress, currently there is not much documentation.
Other changes for RDR 2:
- We fixed an issue where it was not possible to run Red Dead Redemption 2 from OpenIV.
- We fixed an issue resulting in OpenIV crash when trying to open some of the RDR 2 audio files.
- We fixed an issue where OpenIV incorrectly exports multichannel audio from RDR 2.
- We fixed an issue where OpenIV was not able to work with some textures in RDR 2.
- We added ability to export META/PSO files to XML format from file context menu.
Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition support
Recently Rockstar Games updated GTA IV to Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition and now we provide better support for this version:
- We added ability to view Episodes (The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) animations and cut scenes when OpenIV work with GTA IV: Complete Edition.
- We fixed an issue where it was not possible to run GTA IV: Complete Edition from OpenIV.
- We added more key names for GXT entries.
General changes, improvements, and fixes in OpenIV 4.0.1
- We fixed an issue where it was not possible to run Grand Theft Auto V (Epic Games Store Version) from OpenIV.
- We fixed an issue resulting in OpenIV crash while opening some modes and textures in GTA V.
