I know, I was just ranting to my screen here , not to you..
but good to see someone somewhat agrees here
thanks

some modded folders that are copied to the mod folder are over 2 Gb large.
however the only thing that i use in there is maybe just a tiny scooter. no larger than 20mb.
i still have to pay the 2gb from my hard drive. that is not fair
if i will mod more files from several folders , i might end up have to copy 25 GB
while in these folders i might just use only few small vehicles or props. no more than 200 mb in total
but still pay the 25gb from my hard drive

would it be smart and wise to delete all the files in the modded folder except the tiny file scooter that i am actually using from that folder .
some folder might have over 200 files that i am not modding , bnut i have just 1 file modded .
do i still have to copy that entire folder with 200 files , just because i modded 1 file in there.

i would like to delete the 200 unmodded files in my mod folder from a certain 2 gb folder , so that the modded folder size shrinks from 2gb all the way down to maybe 20mb , to save my harddisk from unneccesary copied files that are not modded but are located in a modded folder

can anyone tell me if this is wise to do or asking for problems

thanks

what is the purpose to make a new patchday to put an updated model in there for use , and leave the old patchday and leave the old model in there that seems not to be used anymore. where is this unorganized thing all going .
in the end we will have all new patchday folders including all the old folders that are not in use.
I guess someone needs to teach the guys how to be organized. so we modders have an easier life .

but thanks for the reply

I am trying to replace the texture for the Luxor plane.
it didn´t work out , so I did some research and found out the luxor plane is found so far in 3 different locations.
patchday2ng,
patchday12ng,
x64e

why is it found in 3 different folders, and which is the one to be modified , I tried the patchday2ng and did not work out
I will check the others but still wondering why the game have the same plane in 3 locations

@stillhere This worked out 100% perfectly, very happy with it.
how do I mark this as solved ?
or shall I just leave it open ?

hey man , just to let you know ,
in the past week. also I was landed in the update nightmare that I did not ask for , it was just forced into my face.
resulting that NOTHING works and needs days or weeks of intensive research how to get GTAV back to working again.
Than a miracle happened ,. @reacon advised me to use BypassLauncher . and so I gave it a chance .
I could not believe it, but I am back to my normal situation . and do not have to worry about any update anymore in the future.
Not sure what is your exact situation, just saying, to take a closer look at this specific mod that can help you out to make things go back working again as the had before. good luck. as well with your health and with the game.

before I try and spend hours, let me ask first,
in GTAV I want to mod 1 car , for example .
it is only a 4 mb small car.
now I have to copy his entire folder to the mod folder which is about 2 GB
so to mod the little 5 mb car will cost me 2 GB from my HD
do that 5 times with different folders and I have to pay maybe over 10 GB for about 3 or 4 little stupid cars.
which are no larger in size than maybe 25 MB all in total , not 10GB !

what if I delete all other files in that 2GB modded folder and just keep that tiny 5 mb car inside
that will save me lots of wasted GB on my drive that are not used but just copied for some reason or no reason.
ok maybe it s 20 MB but you got the point.
but would this work ?
or am I forced to take the entire 2GB folder when I want to mod that tiny 5mb car ?

when I shoot at a target there is a white little dot in the screen to help me to point it exactly where I want to shoot
but it comes after I have shot
which is too late of course and than I have to shoot again , and than it disappears again.
makes no sense
is there some function button that I have missed that keeps the white dot in the screen all the time ?
I looked around and could not find such.
but I am almost sure this should be possible
anyone knows this ? thanks

I have seen this bypass launcher this morning and tested it
it works perfectly . and I was so happy.
than I updated to the new scripthookv this afternoon and all crashed
this make me decide to do no more updates in the next years.

so I tried to go back to the bypass launch mod , and also that is not working anymore.
I will mess around till the end of the day to see if I can make it work again ,
but if I can believe you , what you are saying is that this is the answer to my question ?
using this bypass launch mod , will stop updates for me ? so I can stay with my old setup and old mods
is that correct ?
