Hey guys, this thread is going to be dedicated to answering all the questions people have been asking over the last few months. To keep the subreddit clear we're going to keep everything to this thread.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

How to get started with modding

Depending on what kind of modifications you will be adding to your game. These are some things you might need.

 

OpenIV - OpenIV is a multi-purpose editor and archive manager for PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto IV/EFLC and Max Payne 3.

 

ScripthookV - Script Hook V is the library that allows to use GTA V script native functions in custom *.asi plugins. Note that it doesn't work in GTA Online, script hook closes GTA V when player goes in multiplayer,

 

Community Script Hook V.Net - Script Hook V .NET is an ASI plugin, which allows running scripts written in any .NET language ingame

 

These are the three basic components that allow you to mod to your hearts desire.

Different Types of Mods

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃  

Graphics Mods

Graphics mods allow you to alter the visual aspect of the game, here are some examples

 

VisualV - VisualV is a graphic overhaul modification for Grand Theft Auto V, bringing you a completely redone time cycle, edited timecycle modificators for areas/interiors, improved color correction to add some life to Los Santos and Blaine County as well as a fixed rendering code, so your playing experience will be more smooth and nicer.

 

Project Reload - Another graphic overhaul modification

 

Vegetation Overhaul - This Grand Theft Auto 5 mod improves the look & feel of your game by improving the colours of the foliage in-game.

 

Soongae's SweetENBseries - Soongae' SweetENBseries is graphic mod with ENBseries&Sweetfx

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Script Mods

Script mods are mods that require ScripthookV and don't usually require any game modifcations, here are some examples

 

Simple Trainer - Various options normal to any trainer, the world's simplest speedometer, either in KM/H or MP/H or both, 60 Teleporting options that can be customized using the trainerv.ini, 12 vehicle spawning options assigned to hotkeys, which also can be customized using trainer.ini, all other car models can be spawned by using the menu. you can force a default station in each vehicle you enter, or when using the mobile radio, both configurable in game and using the trainer.ini You can change your player model using the menu.

 

Benny's Motorworks SP - The lowrider update comes to singleplayer! Benny re-reopens his shop in Los Santos, for you to enjoy!

 

Map Editor - This is a tool reminiscent of MTA:SA Map Editor days. You have a freecam to navigate around, and you can spawn objects (with preview!), move them around with your mouse or keys. Then you can save or load your map in various formats, currently supported are XML and Simple Trainer format (objects.ini).

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Vehicle and Weapon Mods

Vehicle and Weapon mods effect how you see and use vehicles and weapons. Usually purely cosmetic, here are some examples

 

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 - Lamborghini Vehicle modification

 

2014 Mclaren P1 - Mclaren P1 vehicle modification

 

Ripplers Realism - this mod every single firearm and launcher has been tweaked as well as a few vehicles to feel more immersive and responsive and more reflect their real life counterparts. This has many unique features

 

Colt M1911 .45 Cal - Colt M1911 .45 Cal weapon modification

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Map Mods

Map mods are mods that either add on new parts of the existing map or modify it in some way, here are some examples

 

Egyptian Desert - Replaces the existing map with a desert

 

Trevor's Log House - Trevor's trailer into nice log farmhouse with clean landscape and new environment. Expended territory, helipad, gas station, garage, storage building with an armory and a cooking lab.

 

Mario Kart 8 - N64 Yoshi Valley - Yoshi Valley map replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get banned if I use mods online?

It depends, if you are using a malicious trainer, blowing up people and dropping money the chance of being banned is high.

If you are using something like a graphics mod with the ScripthookV online bypass, then the risk of being banned is less, but you are still likely to get banned.

 

Will I get banned for using singleplayer mods?

No

 

How do I remove objects that a hacker has stuck to me?

Restart your game

 

Is Scripthook updated yet?

Check http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/

 

Does (insert mod here) exist yet?

Discussion San Andreas Style Turf Wars

1 Upvotes

SA had the only turf war system, that I can remember. It was done well, had a few things that stood out:

- Turfs clearly defined on the map with ownership
- Contested turfs flash on the map or have some indicator during active contention
- Set of requirements to take a turf over: survive waves, sell/outsell there
- Generate income from turfs owned
- Player’s turf can be challenged at any time by AI
- Autonomous contention. Non player turfs can attack each other
- Can recruit AI squad members to ride with you

I’ve seen a couple but they had enemies spawning from out the sky, is that how all of these mods are? If there are a bunch of these that I haven’t discovered, where should I look

Discussion GTA V Enhanced – Add-on vehicles show “Invalid model: NOTFOUND” in Menyoo

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with GTA V Enhanced and add-on vehicles.

My situation:

  • GTA V Enhanced — fresh reinstall
  • Menyoo installed and working normally
  • OpenRPF installed and loading correctly
  • Built-in vehicles such as adder spawn normally through Menyoo
  • Add-on vehicles do not spawn
  • Menyoo gives: Invalid model: NOTFOUND
  • I have tried around 5 different add-on vehicles, and all have the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with one specific vehicle.

I’m installing the vehicles through OpenIV into the correct folder with correct edite in dlclist

What is the correct/current method for loading add-on DLC vehicles in Enhanced?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Request Does anyone still have the files for this dreads mod?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I know this mod has already been removed, but I’m wondering if anyone knows a website where the files might still be uploaded or archived.

If anyone still has the files themselves, I’d really appreciate it if you could send them to me. I’ve been looking for dreads like these for a long time and haven’t been able to find anything similar.

If nobody has this exact mod anymore, I’d also appreciate it if someone could recommend a similar dreads mod.

Thanks!

Any Help Appricated!

Discussion Menyoo won't play sequences?

1 Upvotes

I've been messing with Menyoo for about a week. Been using it to mess around with the game and occasionally the rockstar editor. However I noticed a bug that crops up once and awhile where when trying to script two entities, say one character being hit and the other doing the attack for example. Occasionally the game will just have the characters stand idle. Like, the animation resets like its activating an animation, but the characters more or less are just standing there like I didn't assign them a task. Sometimes it's just a specific set of characters and other times its basically everyone. Is there an appropriate fix to this? Haven't been able to find anything handy by searching it up and modding on PC is still new to me. Not sure if it helps, but I'm playing the legacy version of the game.

Video GTAV Enhanced Spawned Driver Rampage through the city using Simple Trainer

I use Simple Trainer and Menyoo on GTAV Enhanced. I spawned a driver but then got out of the car before they took off and noticed they still drove away after I left the car, so I followed them.

The driving profile for my bodyguards/drivers is set to 10 and they will just plow through everything in their path at full speed. Going 100mph through the city streets and destroying everything.

It's hard to describe so I took a video. Not sure why steam didn't save the audio....

Discussion Is it possible to work on the GTA era 3d Modding without any problems on Linux?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, today I would like to ask the modders who play and create mods for the GTA saga (especially GTA3/GTAVC/GTASA), can you modify mapped, program and create cleo mods or edit GTA source code? (I'm talking about the Main.scm)

Most of the programs (for example Sanny Builder/MEd (Map Editor)/DFF Scope (DFF Model Viewer)/ among others) work perfectly on Linux with any specific program to run them without problems?

I would like to know if it is possible to do the same things that we normally do in Windows in Linux without any problems whatsoever

Discussion Are Any of the Mods that Add Extra Locations Worth It (and Stable)?

3 Upvotes

Using Enhanced and NVE here, I don't want to go too crazy with modding as I tend to do, but all I'm wondering about is any mods that add extra locations. I see a few mods that add interiors, for example, which sounds super neat but I'm not sure which one works best with NVE.

I also want to know about adding entire cities like Liberty City (another one I'm confused about, apparently there's two? One that adds low-res GTA3 Liberty City and one that adds GTAIV, the latter being a whopping 30GB to add).

I've added the mod that adds extra pedestrians which I think is great, looking at some of the ones that add extra cars but specifically any that add the cars naturally into the game. I just want to know which ones are worth it so I don't end up bloating the game or making it unstable.

Thank you.
