HOW TO REMOVE "LIBERTY CITY V MAP MOD" INFINITE PAUSE SCREEN.

[pcrband1990]

I among many others have probably experienced the infinite load screen on the pause menu after installing the Liberty City GTA V mod. If yours is working for you, that is great, but if yours is not and your bugging out trying to find a way to remove this mod, I found a way. This is just a file with some folders that contain the paths and original uncorrupted files that you will need to replace using Open IV to restore your game back to what it was before the mod was installed. The only issue is that the liberty city mod wipes out your dlclist.xml file and replaces it with their piece of shit one. This makes all of your existing mods disappear. If you made a copy before install of the mod and have it backed up all you have to do is update it again and you will be back in business once you restore the original files. If you did not make a back up then you will have to type them all back in by hand. Yeah I was so pissed when this happened to me that i figured if I found out a way to remove it without losing all of my other work id share that. Reason being there is no videos or sources anywhere online that shows you how to remove this. I only started modding this game about two weeks or so ago, so Im still new to Open IV etc. I hope this helps comments questions etc and Ill try to respond.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVAL OF LIBERTY CITY MOD

STEP 1

- OPEN FOLDER STEP 1.  OPEN OPEN IV.  FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE FOLDERS IN STEP 1 IN OPEN IV.  
  ONCE YOU HAVE MADE IT END OF THE PATH YOU WILL DROP THOSE TWO FILES: "popcycle.dat" AND
  "popzone.ipl" INTO THE FOLDER NAMED "gta5".

  	mod	path is:  "mods/common/data/levels/gta5/"

step 2

- OPEN FOLDER STEP 2.FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE FOLDERS IN STEP 2 IN OPEN IV.  
  ONCE YOU HAVE MADE IT END OF THE PATH YOU WILL DROP THE FILE:  "scaleform_generic.rpf" INTO THE FOLDER
  NAMED: "cdimages"

	mod path is: "mods/update/x64/data/cdimages/"
	original file path: "update/x64/data/cdimages/"

STEP 3

- OPEN FOLDER STEP 3 AND FOLLOW THAT TEXT FILE IN THAT FOLDER.  ONCE COMPLETED WITH THAT TASK PROCEED TO
  STEP 4.

STEP 4

- OPEN FOLDER STEP 4. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCIONS IN THAT TEXT DOCUMENT.  WHEN COMPLETED CONTINUE TO STEP 5. 
   -FOR REFERENCE THIS IS THE FILE YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR IN YOUR ORIGINAL UNEDITED FOLDERS.  THE PATH OF THE
	ORIGINAL IS THE SAME AS THE PATH BELOW MINUS THE WORK "mods"
		
	 THE FILE: "gtxd.rpf"

	mod path is: "mods/update/x64/levels/gta5/"
	original file apath : "update/x64/levels/gta5/"

STEP 5

- OPEN FOLDER STEP 5. FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE FOLDERS IN STEP 5 IN OPEN IV.  
  ONCE YOU HAVE MADE IT END OF THE PATH YOU WILL DROP THE FILE: "common.rpf"

	mod path is: "mods/"
	original path is : Your gta 5 root folder.  scroll down and find "common.rpf"

Step 6

- NOW THIS STEP IS THE FINAL PART.  IF YOU MADE A PREVIOUS BACK UP OF YOU "DLCLIST.XML" THEN NOW IS THE TIME
  THAT YOU WANT TO GO INTO OPEN IV AND DROP THAT FILE IN PLACE TO FIX IT.  
  LOCATION IS: "mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/dlclist.xml" incase you never have been there before.
  Now if you do not have back up then you will have to open your folder: "grand theft auto/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks"
  and manually enter your dlcpack names back in again.

- Now if this was your first mod and you have no idea about entering things into the dlclist.xml through Open IV
  I suggest watching some youtube videos on that and then coming back here and following this.  

- go into OPEN IV, AND GO TO THE LOCATION MENTIONED ABOVE IN STEP 6.  FIND FILE NAME "dlclist.xml"
	- open this file by right click and choose edit.
	- scroll all the way down above the path line and find the following line names:



			<Item>dlcpacks:/eastny/</Item>
			<Item>dlcpacks:interiorsny/</Item>
			<Item>dlcpacks:jersey/</Item>
			<Item>dlcpacks:lc/</Item>
			<Item>dlcpacks:manhatny/</Item>
			<Item>dlcpacks:propsny/</Item>

	-ONCE YOU HAVE LOCATED THEM, DELETE THEM, AND MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE EMPTY SPACE LEFT BEHIND SO THAT WAY THE 
	PATH LINES ARE TOUCHING THE OTHER LINE OF CODE.  THEN SAVE THAT FILE AND BACK OUT OF ARCHIVES.

- NOW GO TO YOUR FOLDER "Grand Theft Auto/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks

	- delete the folders that you installed for liberty city gta v.
		-eastny
		-interiorsny
		-jersey
		-lc
		-manhatny
		-propsny

- once you have completed all of these tasks you should be able to boot the game back up and you will be back to
  to where you were before you installed that dog turd of a mod. -note- if you follow this and you are still 
  screwed then you can use the paths provided in this tutorial to locate your own uncurrupted files and drop them	
  into the mod folder.  The file "PACKAGE INSTALLER" IS AN EXACT COPY OF THE INSTALL LOG FROM THE LIBERTY CITY OIV.
  IT SHOWS THESE EXACT PATHS ETC.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO OBTAIN YOUR SPECFIC ORIGINALS IS GO TO THOSE PATHS MENTIONED
  BUT IN THE ORGINAL FOLDERS NOT THE MOD FOLDER. EXTRACT ALL OF THE FILES THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THIS TUTORIAL.  SAVE THEM
  THEN GO BACK INTO THE MODS FOLDER, AND REPEAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS BUT USING YOUR ORIGINAL FILES AND THIS WILL
    GAURNTEE FIX YOU UP.  THANK YOU AND I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL NOW IM GOING TO PASS OUT ! FUCK THAT MOD

TUTORIAL FOR REMOVING DOG TURD MOD

Liberty City ranks in the top 5 mods for me personally.
However I was smart enough not to use an OIV - I installed manually.
Just because you can't run your mod on your setup is no reason to crap on what is definitely one of the best mods ever released.

P.S. All anyone needs to do to remove the mod, if they don't know how to install, is to unzip the OIV and reverse the instructions in the assembly.xml file.

[pcrband1990]

its cool and all just it would have been cooler if it worked no matter what version I had installed. It is kind of a hassle to have to keep an old version of gtav in just for the mod to work. Also those that are new to shit might not know they can view the process and reverse it. It is just here for information. Since when I did a search myself I could not find anything. Then I found the install log and reversed that.

Agreed, but it's Rockstar's updates that are responsible for all the broken mods, not Liberty City. And OIVs were a good idea gone bad because the deployment was done by either morons or people who only cared about their own mods working.

Actually the process was flawed from the onset because you can't uninstall (automatically) with an OIV unless the installation process backed up user files -- which an OIV can't do.

Some creators packaged backups of the original files, not thinking those files could be obsolete with the next update.

And yes keeping multiple versions of GTA5 is far from the perfect solution. I have an updated game but my GTA5.exe is from 2372. I can swap executables but ofc lots of mods would then break.
