Title asks it all... WHY?!

Better yet why is GTA V such a pain in the ass to mod and play?

I don't have to get so many dlls and xmls files in other games far out...

Although this may seem like a jab... Well to be honest it is...

At least their versions don't have bugs!!

I cry to this day that I have to fix so many unbreakable windows, model artifacts and add dirt mapping etc. And I don't even make any vehicle mods myself. Not to mention, there are so many mods here stating they do have these "basic" features but in-game you find that you were mislead.

Thank you R* for "stealing" mods...

Specifically shops.

There are a lack of script mods for GTA V and I think the reason behind it is due to information being very limited regarding the topic.

I think someone should create a guide on making a scripting workspace and then have little samples on the known working scripts to create.

@Atesh said in Creating a MP mod without ScriptHook:

is it possible to create a MP mod for GTA V

Unfortunately, you cannot and are not allowed to modify any aspect of GTAV and attempt to access its online features.

Online modding is highly discouraged and you will be banned if you somehow even successfully get online with modified files.

I suggest you stick to a clean install of GTAV when accessing online as you will be banned from R*.

Please, stick to using single player mods only. There are plenty of mods on this site that will allow you to mimic as much online exclusive content in the single player.

@ReNNie There's no way we can define our own flags isn't there?

Yep. I'm all out of experiments. Is it safe to assume that individual cargen spawners are the only way to go when wanting to spawn certain vehicles?

If only when placing a cargen (or in the meta file after you make one) you could define a list of vehicle models to randomly spawn in it... Sucks...

@ReNNie Sick. Yeah its just odd. Like it's been boggling my mind. To think you just put a car model in and that's it. Why do groups refuse to work? It's really annoying.

@ReNNie

Yep... Remember a while ago when we discussed this when I first asked how to even make a cargen?

That is what happened when I attempted what you did AND... It also happens when I try using ANY vehGroups.

Remember I was trying to test it with emergency vehicles and the large city and all I got were random Huntleys, FQ2s, Baggers etc.

Who did you mention before who made a cargen pack here? YDrop or someone? Did they do individual car spawners or did they actually figure out how to spawn existing (and or created) groups?

I've tried every combo I can think of and still so far, nothing. Either no cars spawn at all OR I get the random spawn every car in the game cargen...

@ReNNie

Well I just finished up on my 3 vehicle mods and will now proceed to return to my really messy popgroups laboratory and run some tests.

I also hate that and on top of that... I also hate how you can only use 1 firetruck in the dispatch meta and only have 1 functional taxi in the game.

Is there a way, somewhere either in CodeWalker or some RPF where we can create our own zones?

There are so many files and just recently the popgroups and a few others are now viewable in OpenIV without needing to download an unencrypted one... I'm hoping one day maybe some new files may be revealed for altering these things...

UPDATE: FAILURE. I cannot get any cargens to spawn random vehicles from a pool of vehicles from a popgroup.

I take it that this is actually impossible?
