'''WPL''' is the format of the map-related files in [[GTA4|GTA IV]] similar to [[Binary IPL|Binary IPLs]] introduced with [[GTA SA]]. It can be edited using [[WPL Manager]].

== File Format ==

=== Binary Headers===

Each world placement file starts with one single header followed by the object placement information. The structure for the header is very simple:

Size = 68 bytes
4b - UINT32 - (Main file header) (Value always = 3)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 0) - Instances (Value always = Amount of Object instances)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 1) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 2) - Garage (Value always = Amount of Object instances)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 3) - Parked Cars (Value always = Amount of Object instances)(only used in * _stream *. wpl files)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 4) - Cull (Value always = Amount of Object instances)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 5) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 6) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 7) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 8) - Strbig (Value always = Amount of Object instances)(only used in * _strbig *. wpl files)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 9) - LODcull (Value always = Amount of Object instances)(only used in lodcull_ *. wpl files)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 10) - Zone or Cull (Value always = Amount of Object instances)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 11) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 12) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 13) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 14) - Unused (Value always = 0)
4b - UINT32 - (Section 15) - Blok (Value always = Amount of Object instances)

The placement information corresponds to the previous [[inst|instance]] section of the <code>.ipl</code> files. They have a binary structure like the [[Binary_IPL|binary ipl]] files introduced with [[San Andreas]]:

=== Section 0 - INST===

Size = 48 bytes
4b - FLOAT - Position X
4b - FLOAT - Position Y
4b - FLOAT - Position Z
4b - FLOAT - Rotation X
4b - FLOAT - Rotation Y
4b - FLOAT - Rotation Z
4b - FLOAT - Rotation W
4b - UINT32 - Model name [[:Category:Static_Model_Hashes|hash]]
4b - UINT32 - Unknown
4b - INT32 - [[LOD]] Index
4b - UINT32 - Unknown

== XPL ==
In the XBox 360's version of GTA 4 same files have the extension <code>.xpl</code>. The XPL and WPL formats are same, but due to the fact XPL files are used on the Xenon platform its data is stored in the [[Wikipedia:Endianness|big-endian order]].
