The .gxt file(s) contain almost every text within the game, there are 5 files with this format, American.gxt, German.gxt, Spanish.gxt, Italian.gxt, and French.gxt. All the files have the same format, and type.

The only important different(s) is there in different languages. The files can be opened with many GTA text editor tools; most notably Hammer's GXT editor(see the links below).

Each GXT file can contain certain tables with sub-tables and entries. The entries are stored in ASCII standard. Just some special characters got some different bit-sets.

Header


The header contains data about the tables and their sub-tables.

Code:

INT32  - 4b  - Version? (Always 0x080004)
CHAR[4] - 4b  - TABL

Table Block


The Table Block contains data about the sub-tables and their offsets.

Code:

INT32  - 4b  - Blocksize

//Array of [Blocksize / 12 Entries]
CHAR[8] - 8b  - Subtablename
INT32  - 4b  - Offset

The Offset of the sub-table points to an 8-byte Char Array with the sub-table's name, followed by TKEY. For the MAIN Table this points directly to TKEY!

TKEY


The TKEY Block of an sub-table contains the CRC32-values of the entry-titles. The game calculates the CRC32-value out of a given string and checks if they exist in the GXT.

Code:

CHAR[4] - 4b  - TKEY
INT32  - 4b  - Blocksize

//Array of [Blocksize / 8]
INT32  - 4b  - Entryoffset
INT32  - 4b  - CRC32 (Entryname)

The TKEY block is directly followed by the TDAT Block which contains the contents of the entries. The Entry-offset is relative to the TDAT + 4 offset.

TDAT


Code:

CHAR[4] - 4b  - TDAT
INT32  - 4b  - Blocksize

From here the entry-offset of each entry points to the content. The content can have different sizes. However it always ends in '\0'! For Example "Hello!" needs to be transformed to "Hello!\0" here and this gives a size of 6 bytes (To tell it in a short form content is a null-terminated string). If this is the 1st content in TDAT the next got an offset of 0x06.

German Characters


This is the list of our German characters:

Code:

Character    Value
Ä            131
ä            154
Ö            145
ö            168
Ü            149
ü            172
ß            150 


Editing


Max entry numbers is 7.


Symbols & Color-codes:

Code:

Symbol: Description:
~1~    number within a text
~a~    text within a text
~b~    blue text
~g~    green text
~h~    highlight
~k~    key (followed by Key-presses)
~l~    black text
~n~    newline
~p~    purple text
~r~    red text
~s~    reset to standard
~w~    white text
~y~    yellow text
~z~    subtitle (doesn't show when the Subtitles option is off)


Un-defined:

Most of these where probably used on the Playstation 2 and XBox

Code:

~d~    ?
~<~    ?
~>~    ?
~u~    ?
~v~    Consoles Only?
~x~    Consoles Only?
~m~    Consoles Only?
~o~    Consoles Only?
~j~    Consoles Only?

Here are some key-press codes only used during development stage of the game. They were removed or may be replaced later but probably they are still working. Some are only used in PS2 Version.

Code:

~TAKE_SCREEN_SHOT~
~SWITCH_DEBUG_CAM_ON~
~TOGGLE_DPAD~
~NETWORK_TALK~
~SHOW_MOUSE_POINTER_TOGGLE~
~PED_1RST_PERSON_LOOK_DOWN~
~PED_1RST_PERSON_LOOK_UP~
