'''WEAP''' is a section in the item definition file in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is used to define weapon objects. In [[Grand Theft Auto III]] weapon objects are defined inside the [[OBJS]] section, so this section can be seen as an extension of that section. Additional weapon information are defined inside the [[weapon.dat]] file.
'''Magic.TXD''' is an open-source RenderWare [[TXD|Texture Dictionary]] ('''TXD''') editor written by [[User:DK22Pac|DK22Pac]] and The_GTA for Microsoft Windows. It aims to support every RW TXD format and comes with many unprecedented features to make TXD editing simple.
