Hey, so a few months ago a new multiplayer mod was released for GTA4 called CitizenMP. It's still pretty new and nothing like the other GTA4 MP mods, it's not like IV:MP or Multi:IV, the sync with CitizenMP:IV is alot better. Unlike all other GTA:MP mods, this mod does not implement its own network framework, it expands upon current one already in the game, developed by Rockstar, so in the end the sync ends up being much better overall.
There's also synced pedestrians on the streets and synced traffic aswell, I believe this is the only GTA:MP mod to ever to do this successfuly. There's also a GTA V map mod released for it that contains all of the map of GTA V, with a few bugs here and there, but overall it's very playable. Here's a video of it:
Today I've been playing it with [MK]Dead_man and it'd be cool if more people joined us, there's only a few servers for now but it would be really fun to hang out there with all the vcmp peeps, it's pretty fun on the new GTAV map. Here's a few screenshots I took today when playing with dead_man:

- After having it installed you can download CitizenMP:IV from
here - Make a rockstar social club account
here- And that's all
If you want to play on the GTAV map online, you'll have to download some additional files from
here. Then you just need to extract the files inside the cache folder on that zip file and put them inside cache folder which is on the CitizenMP:IV installation.
A few notes:
- The name of the GTAV map mod is called ViIV, so if you see any server with this gamemode and you try to join it without having the map installed, you'll be waiting a long time in the loading screen because the game will be downloading the map files from the server. Instead, you can just download the map files before from the link I posted above (
this) and put it in the "cache" folder which is inside the mod folder. So that when you try to join a server with this gamemode you wont have to download the whole map, just the server resources.
- Keep in mind that when joining a server for the first time, the loading might be a bit slow since you're downloading the server resources but afterwards it'll be faster. (Btw, don't alt+tab/minimize while playing, most of the times it won't let you get back inside the game)
- If you still can't join any server and get stuck on the loading for a long time that probably means that you still don't have all the cache files. You can download a bigger cache folder from
here, just extract the files inside the cache folder of that .zip file and put them all inside the "cache" folder wich is in the CitizenMP:IV folder. I used this cache folder instead of the 1GB one I posted above, this one's more complete so you'll almost all the files needed. I'd recommend that you download both, the more cache files you have, the better.
