Then you are asked to select the GTA installation folder. After the folders are selected, two consoles show, one for the gta3 files and the samp files. After everything is extracted to the folder, the files are looped and everything that doesn't have the .col extension is deleted. And it's really that simple! Thanks to this: http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=21750 all I have to do is run the commands in order. @Mauzen, the link I just posted has the source of the img console. This is a lot simpler than Sparks, and the source is really simple too. When you create your extractor I recommend using the code in that source.

Thanks, Ill check that, but if your version already works I wont have to create another application
I already got a working batch file though that has to be placed together with spark in a subdirectory inside the GTA game folder, and extracts/copies all files to a directory, and afterwards checks if all files got extracted by counting them. But not having to download another application like spark first seems like a much better way.

Some of them are, but e.g. gen_int4_stream0.ipl isnt in any of my IMG files, nor as single files in the game directory. Could this be a version issue? If yes, things could get nasty if the plugin needs those files and some legal game versions dont have it. Ive got the german DVD version 1.0, my gta3.img is unmodified and exactly 940,064,768 bytes in size.
