LCPD Device - GTAIV Modding

LCPD Device is a very customizable device interface for scripting inside of the GTA IV game. Instead of remembering a large number of hotkeys, you can use it as a graphical interface to interact with your scripts on GTA IV. Better yet, LCPD Device has been build in order to allow 3rd party developers to create new applications for it and extends its functionalities.

In order to start using the LCPD Device, you just need to follow the simple steps below:

Requirements

  • Copy all contents from the package to the folder "scripts" inside of your main GTAIV or EFLC folder (eg. D:\Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\scripts).

Installing third party components is a very easy task, you need go to the "LCPDDevice" folder inside of your "scripts" folder (eg. D:\Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\scripts\LCPDDevice).

Therefore, you will see the following directory structure: 

├── LCPDDevice/
│   ├── config.ini
│   ├── apps/
│   │   ├── <App>/
│   │   │   ├── <App>.dll
│   │   │   ├── config.ini
│   │   │   ├── icon.png
│   │   │   ├── layout.xml
│   │   │   ├── <specific files>
│   ├── data/
│   │   ├── collections/
│   │   │   ├── README.txt
│   │   │   ├── cars.xml
│   │   │   ├── weapons.xml
│   ├── lang/
│   │   ├── README.txt
│   │   ├── en-us.xml
│   ├── logs/
│   │   ├── README.txt
│   │   ├── <Application Name>.log
│   ├── skin/
│   │   ├── Default/
│   │   │   ├── config.ini
│   │   │   ├── default_icon.png
│   │   │   ├── device.png

Here is the definition of each directory:

  • apps: Here you can install, enable or disable third party applications. In order to install new apps, just copy the app folder to this folder.
  • data: Here you can find all default data for GTA infos such as collections for GTA cars, weapons and places.
  • logs: Here you can find all logs created by installed applications.
  • skin: Here you can find all installed skins. In order to install a new skin, just copy the skin folder to this folder and change the selected skin parameter on the main "config.ini".
  • lang: Here you can find all language strings displayed in game by the main application. Installed applications can use these strings or read their version of strings.

Configuration

The main configuration file is located under the LCPDDevice directory and it is named config.ini. You can open this file with any text editor (Recommended: Notepad++) and edit its values to your taste.

Any INI file have one or more sections and each section have one or more key value pairs, for example: 

[Section1]
UniqueKey1=MyValue

It is important to notice that the keys must be unique for each section (it means that different sections might have same key).
