g3DTZ

a GAME.DTZ extraction utility (LCS/VCS)

Current version v1.1

GTAForums

Includes download link to compiled binaries

This repo includes a full VS2017 solution, to which you will have to include the zlib library.

For successful compilation, you also have to do the appropriate #defines

#define lcs
or
#define vcs

and

#define psp
or
#define ps2

main.cpp already has #defines for convenience

The default utility accepts a single argument: the path to GAME.DTZ

To view help, run without arguments

There are no actual handling names in VCS, so modelnames are used instead
The last 5 values of object.dat from VCS are unknown, probably different way of assigning damage effects
Handling.cfg has unknowns. Specifically, bABS and SuspensionHighSpdComDamp. Also, MaxVelocity is unknown in LCS version
The IDE files from vcs aren't original. They are split up in a way that makes sense (also helps when bruteforcing names).
Speaking of bruteforcing names, all names are known for LCS, but ~700 remain uncracked for VCS. Some more were added in this version
VCS PS2 timecyc.dat has 4 extra values for radiosity and blur, so its format isn't very standard

Although this repo serves as a very good documentation source, here are some alternative links
