Custom Match

Another exciting new feature to Grand Theft Auto IV PC is Custom Match. When

you know which types of multiplayer matches you enjoy playing, you can select your

options and search for lobbies that fit your criteria.

From the cell phone, you can now choose Quick Match, Create Match, or Custom

Match. The interface for the Custom Match pops up in its own screen, similar to the

lobby interface.

For detailed information on online multiplayer and Custom Match, including

controls and options, please refer to the Multiplayer.pdf file included on your

Grand Theft Auto IV game disc or visit: http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/PC

________________________________________________________________________

9) VIDEO EDITOR

_______________________

The all new Video Editor feature allows you to capture in-game footage, make real

time edits and render those clips out as WMV movie files. The clips can also be

spliced together into a video complete with post effects like music, text and transitions,

and other features typically found in video editing suites. You can then share

your video(s) with others to view and rate in Rockstar Games Social Club TV.

Clip Capture

At any time during the game (single or multiplayer), press the F2 key to dump a

chunk of footage to your hard drive. Depending on how data intensive things are in

the world at that time, the clip should be about 30 seconds to a minute long. Captured

footage will be the action that occurs PRIOR to pressing F2. Note that if you have a

slower machine, you also have the option to turn off this feature altogether.

Launching the Video Editor

To launch the Video Editor, call it up using your in-game cell phone. A prompt will let

you know that any unsaved data will be lost, after which you jump into a separate menu

to view and edit your clips. You arrive at this screen with the following choices:

• Clips

• Editor

• Gallery

• Upload

• Online

Clips

All the raw footage you've captured in-game can be viewed quickly in the Clips

section. There are standard DVD style controls for video playback. In addition, you

can hold down the right mouse button to move the camera and view your clip from

alternate angles and then update your clip thumbnail making it easy to organize your

clips.

Editor

Selecting Editor allows you to create a video from your raw clips. Here you can name

your video, string multiple clips together, add music, titles, and transitions.

Your raw footage clips appear on the left side of the screen. The upper right portion

of the screen is the storyboard editing space. Drag and drop your clip footage into the

storyboard to create a video. Double click a thumbnail on the storyboard to edit it.

You can add markers within your clips which allow you to place cameras and filters,

and adjust audio and speed settings.

To quickly create a video for upload, make sure you have at least one clip in the

storyboard editing space and then hit the Web option in Export To Gallery.

Gallery

The section labeled Gallery contains all of the complete, exported videos. By default,

the last exported video is displayed in the preview window. The thumbnails on the

right side of the screen are arranged with the most recent ones appearing at the top.

Upload

In the section labeled “Upload,” players can submit their exported web videos to the

Social Club. The left side of the screen shows local videos that you have created. The

right side is a web portal displaying all the videos that you have uploaded.

Online

The “Online” section will minimize Grand Theft Auto IV and will take you directly to

the Rockstar Games Social Club TV website using your default web browser. There

you can view clips others have uploaded as well as rate clips and comment on them.

The Video Editor is a full featured tool. For more details, view the Video-Editor.pdf

file included on your Grand Theft Auto IV game disc or visit:

www.rockstargames.com/IV/PC

________________________________________________________________________

10) INDEPENDENCE FM (USER RADIO)

_______________________

For the first time ever, you can now select your own favorite songs to play through

the in-game radio station Independence FM.

Simply place your non DRM’ed MP3s, WMAs, or M4As (or shortcuts to your music

folders) in the file location below:

My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music

Note: Quicktime or iTunes needs to be installed for M4A support.

After accessing Independence FM as you would with any other in-game radio station,

you will also have the following options in the Audio tab of the Pause Menu:

Scanning Modes

Enable Auto Scan - Set this to ON to perform a Quick Scan automatically on game

startup.

Quick Scan - Reads the audio files within your folder, plays back exactly as they are

in the folder.

Complete Scan - Reads the audio files within your folder, performs additional

analysis to enhance user experience.

Play Modes

Sequential - Plays through audio files as they appear in your folder, can skip songs.

Shuffle - Plays through audio files randomly, can skip songs.

Radio - Plays through audio files randomly with radio adverts and DJ banter in

between tracks, cannot skip songs.

________________________________________________________________________

11) BENCHMARKING

_______________________

General:

In-Game:

Benchmarking can be run from the Graphics section of the start or pause menu. Upon completion,

the tool will display the results in-game as well as writing the results to a file in:

MyDocuments\RockstarGames\GTAIV\Benchmarks\

Command line:

Benchmarking can also be run using command line parameters from outside of the game.

To run benchmarking from the command line, enter the directory where you have installed GTA IV and locate

the executable "LaunchGTAIV.exe". Create a shortcut to this executable on your desktop. Right click the

shortcut and select "Properties". Within the "Target" field, enter "-benchmark" at the end of the executable's

path. Click OK and double click the shortcut you have created to run the benchmarking utility.

Users can specify which Clip to run the benchmark utility with by adding the File ID to the end of the command line

option. Clip files are located in My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Videos\Clips. Ex. If the clip file you wish

to benchmark is named 081105203237.clp, enter -benchmark 081105203237 in the target field at the end of the

executable's path.

Upon completion the game will exit and write the results to a file in:

MyDocuments\RockstarGames\GTAIV\Benchmarks\
