GTA5: Modding and the state of affairs
17.04.2015, 17:34
Author: Alex

The Grand Theft Auto series has one of the most active modding scenes and the interest in modifications for GTA V is unbroken for sure. A first trainer was released by LinGon which contained lots of features just a few hours after release of the PC version. Although the modding is just in the initial stage three days after the release, we do not want you to withhold the first information about modding:

Unfortunately, there is no official support for modding to be expected from Rockstar Games. It is even more the case that the developers have done everything they can do to prevent modifications: Rockstar Games decided to put the future focus of the game completely on GTA Online. In this regard, modifications would destroy the balance of the online mode.

However, this does not stop the elite of the GTA modding scene to analyze the game files and to gain access to the relevant areas of GTA V, of course. And there is already good news to report just three days after release: The developers of OpenIV (GooD-NTS, listener, Alexander Blade, Chipsman and many others) have managed to read the encrypted data of the RPF archives and therefore they found a way to get around the main safety precautions. Editing game files is not yet possible, but this will probably be one of the next steps. Furthermore, the developer of zModeler3, Oleg, is already analyzing the data of the vehicles in GTA V as well. Meanwhile, Boris Vorontsov, the developer of ENBSeries, dampened the expectations and pointed out that there is a long and difficult road ahead to GTA V modding. However, this was also the case when GTA IV was released in 2008: But after a few weeks the gaming system was understood and encoded and incredible options were opened up: To the present day, thousands of modifications have been released and it’s possible to mod Liberty City in almost every way you want.

At this stage, it can be stated that the first step towards GTA V modding has already been done successfully. The next steps will follow and we will keep you up to date here! Stay tuned!

TBH I don't now how they want to get around GTA Online - which is great. Car modifaction with different handling file and collision system? That can't work!

I believe that people with different car models will be have crash during connecting to GTA O (like in SA:MP) ... but maybe there is a way to create specific files with this data for GTA Online (original) and GTA V Single Player (modified data). Maybe I want too much ... scare

I'm not sure if I want to mod it because if it crashes a backup will take long and reinstalling will take ages... btw I'm installing it right now :D

I think it will be moddable soon. GTA IV was new and tricky too in those days, new archive, new model / texture format, but nowadays there are lots of mods for it. :) GTA SA was tricky too, it's not enough to import a car from GTA III or VC to the gta3.img, we need to convert it first, because the structure is not the same. Every new GTA game has it's own first steps about the modding, but I think the elite of the GTA modding scene will solve the first steps. :) Good luck and good work for you guys!

I think modding GTA V single player is ok, not GTA Online.

I hope someone makes the mod to bring back the animations of pedestrians like in gta 4 and fixes people health. I think it's total crap that in gta 5 if you punch someone or shoot someone in the leg he/she is immediately dead. There is no wounded stage, no limping, lying on the floor... Sometimes i just want to punch some in the face like in gta 4, now if you just touch someone it's death. Please, some make this mod!
