Scripthook Installation Isn’t Working
-
I’m using the latest Steam version. I’m just trying to get a simple trainer going, i.e. menyoo trainer. I’ve copied the Scripthook.dll and the dinput8.dll in the root directory. Before that I tried simple trainer and native trainer. They both didn’t work, so I tried menyoo trainer and that also didn’t work. I have a clean install on linux (proton 5.0-8). I have read a thread where a guy on linux did get the native trainer to work, so I wouldn’t directly jump to the conclusion that it’s just linux and therefore nothing works as intended. I don’t seem to have any logs in the game files. So, is it just that ScripthookV is outdated, or that i’ve done something else wrong?

How did you even install GTA V on a Linux computer? Scripthook needs Microsoft C++ to run and .Net Framework as well. Without those, the scripthook will never start. As far as I know, they aren't available in Linux.

@Algonquin1234 You can run GTA V on Linux via Wine, which is a Windows compatibility layer. He mentions Proton, which is an assortment of packages for Windows compatibility, like Wine and DXVK. Microsoft C++ Redistributable and .NET Framework also work via Wine/Proton.
@Lord-Nearquaad As far as I know, modding doesn't work very well via Wine. Well, last I heard about it was March of 2019, so it may have changed. There is some incompatibility with some mods. I know Simple Trainer doesn't work, and Menyoo probably doesn't work as well. I heard the trainer that comes with Script Hook V works though.

@Jitnaught Really? I didn't know that. Well you learn something new everyday. What if he would to try the Microsoft virtual machine? You know where you could have a different type of Windows but it's installed in a program not the actual computer? He could have C++ installed and have GTA V installed on that too and have all the mods working through there.

@Algonquin1234 Virtual machines aren't good for gaming because they don't have direct access to the GPU. Unless you set up GPU passthrough, but I've heard that is a pain in the ass.
-
@Jitnaught If installing the trainer that comes with Scripthook is just copying all the files in the game directory, then it dosen’t work. So I guess Linux dosen’t work at all? Well, maybe there’s someone else who could help.
-
Do you have a ScriptHookV.log file in your game directory? If so, what does it say?
-
@Jitnaught Well, as I wrote in the first post, there are no log files I can find.
-
I missed that, sorry. My guess is that Wine is ignoring the dinput8.dll file (the ASI loader) and instead using the built-in version that Wine provides. I think there is a way to change that behaviour in Wine, but I don't know how.

I came across the same issue with Native trainer, when I wanted to use it.
BUT
I found a solution!!!
I used this old ask Ubuntu thread: LINK
Keep in mind: I did this on GTAV installed from the Epic Games Store through Lutris.
Instructions:
-
Install Script hook and Native trainer as you would do on windows
-
open the wine configuration of GTAV's wine prefix
-
go to libraries
-
In the New overreide for library field select dinput8 from the drop-down menu and clik add
-
Apply the changes and close the window
Enjoy the trainer!!!
I guess if you install any mod, that uses custom windows system dll (just as Script Hook does with dinput8.dll), you just need to repeat these instructions for that specific dll.
