GTA V really needs a 'freeze time' mod where we can "pause" the game during action and use the camera controls to rotate, use filters etc. (i.e. photo mode) to take some amazing screenshots.

I searched for a freeze time mod and only saw this from 2016 - https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/freeze-time-beta.

Apparently it has a lot of bugs so it's essentially useless.

Is there a new(er) mod that does this without bugs/problems? Would really like a freeze time mod in this game - would make for some incredible screenshots.

I'm trying to use this add-on car (https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/grotti-itali-gto-n-larga-custom-add-on#comments_tab) in a custom car pack that I've created with several add-on cars.

The game keeps crashing to desktop when I try to enter the car - usually when I spawn the car using Simple Trainer, the character just warps inside of the car ready to drive. This car spawns next to the character and when I try to enter it, the game just crashes to desktop.

I think I've narrowed down the problem to the fact that there is no unique 'vehiclelayouts.meta' file to indicate how the character should get in etc.

The add-on works on its own - if I add it as a single add-on car and put the line in 'dlclist.xml', it works fine. However, I have > 300 add on cars and all of them are in their own custom DLC.rpf files so that I have < 10 lines of add-on stuff in the 'dlclist.xml.' I do NOT want to add single vehicles to my dlclist and so I need help in figuring out how to make this work.

How do I create a custom vehiclelayouts.meta file for this car? I tried copying the default vehiclelayouts.meta file and just put 'italigton_vehiclelayouts.meta' (added it to the content.xml file also) but that doesn't even spawn the car! It crashes to desktop right away when trying to spawn it.

Any ideas?

I have created a custom DLC pack for various add-on planes & helicopters. The problem is, the game keeps crashing on startup with the "ERR_SYS_FILELOAD" error (corrupt data) and I can't figure out what is wrong with the pack.

Can anyone of you look at the dlc.rpf and tell me what's wrong? Here is the file - https://www.mediafire.com/file/42pst3op1evmih7/dlc.rpf/file

Would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks in advance.

I have many add-on cars that work great, except many of them have a default 'silver' color and the wheel colors don't seem to change when I try to change the 'wheel color' option using Simple Trainer.

An example is the Porsche Carrera GT mod here - https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/2003-porsche-carrera-gt-980

I want to have black wheels (or whatever colors for the rims) so what file/setting do I have to edit/change to do this? I was looking in carvariations.meta and the mod has only four numbers like below:

<Item>
<modelName>CGT</modelName>
<colors>
<Item>
<indices content="char_array">
29
11
28
120

Any help?

I have the latest Liberty City map mod installed along with the Cayo Perico map mod as well. The city spawns fine and I can get to it but the problem is that the game crashes to desktop at exactly the SAME location every single time!

It's near the Playboy X apartment on the other side when I'm driving south (there's a men's clothing store building on the right) the game just crashes right there.

I've reinstalled the Liberty City map mod several times after carefully reading the instructions but I don't understand why it's crashing right there and ONLY there!

Can anyone help?

1.- It does not matter. You can have in different folders or in the same one but make sure to don't use a folder name that's being already used by specific folders in vanilla DLCs.
2.- Same as before, it doesn't matter.

I use a very similar (almost the same) folder structure to what I could see in your screenshots, so don't worry about that.

It still keeps crashing on load for me!

I put all the xxxx_weapons.meta in a folder called weapondata inside /data/ and I put the planeweapons.rpf (changed it from weapons.rpf just to be safe) file in a separate folder called weaponmods inside /x64/.

I opened the OpenIV.log file and here is the end of that file - it stops after berkut_mods.rpf file:

I'm not sure why it's still crashing! I checked and rechecked! Please help.

EDIT: I disabled the berkut mod and it still crashes.

@Suzerain001 Check the following image and tell me if you find something wrong:

I updated the weapons.meta file and removed that line but it still crashes for me.

Two questions:

1. Should the weapons.rpf file be in the same folder as vehicles.rpf and the vehiclemods folder or does it not matter?

2. I have all the xxxx_weapons.meta files in the same folder as the carvariations.meta etc. - is this correct or do I have to put those in a separate folder?

@Reyser

I'm trying to create a custom add-on pack for all my planes with <Item>dlcpacks:\planes\</Item>.

The game crashes on start and I've narrowed it down to the following planes I added yesterday:

• F22A Raptor
• F117A
• SR71B
• Wyvern
• Berkut

All these plane mods are made by SkylineGTRFreak who is amazing but whatever I try, I can't seem to combine his mods into one DLC pack!

I have TONS of other car mods etc. - all custom add-on packs I created myself and they work beautifully.

With this planes DLC custom add-on pack, the game crashes on loading screen.

Really would appreciate your (and others') help with this.

I think the main problem comes from the following file:

• weapons.meta

Here is the weapons.meta that is WORKING: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/sBGf4zF8/file.html

... and here is the weapons.meta file that is NOT WORKING: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/gr9PTeNs/file.html

... and here is the content.xml file: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/cnNUA9xH/file.html

Please help!

@ReNNie said in Vehiclelayouts of two different cars in a single DLC package.........:

Add both separate meta files to the data folder

65ltsp_vehiclelayouts.meta
918_vehiclelayouts.meta

And include references to them in content.xml
Don't forget the bottom section referrals too

//edit: tbh I hardly ever use custom LAYOUT_ settings but for these two just edited vehicles.meta to have them use LAYOUT_LOW

Can you please give me an example of what to add in content.xml? I've tried adding the following but the cars in the entire custom DLC do not spawn - it keeps saying "INVALID MODEL" when trying to spawn them using Simple Trainer.

In content.xml, for two custom cars with separate vehiclelayouts.meta files, I added:

<Item>
<filename>dlc_random2:/data/ai/vehiclelayouts.meta</filename>
<fileType>VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE</fileType>
<locked value="true"/>
<disabled value="true"/>
<persistent value="true"/>
<overlay value="true"/>
</Item>

<Item>
<filename>dlc_random2:/data/ai/ie_vehiclelayouts.meta</filename>
<fileType>VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE</fileType>
<locked value="true"/>
<disabled value="true"/>
<persistent value="true"/>
<overlay value="true"/>
</Item>

<Item>
<filename>dlc_random2:/data/ai/rx7rb_vehiclelayouts.meta</filename>
<fileType>VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE</fileType>
<locked value="true"/>
<disabled value="true"/>
<persistent value="true"/>
<overlay value="true"/>
</Item>

... and then at the bottom of the content.xml file, under <FilesToEnable>, I added:

<Item>dlc_random2:/data/ai/vehiclelayouts.meta</Item>
<Item>dlc_random2:/data/ai/ie_vehiclelayouts.meta</Item>
<Item>dlc_random2:/data/ai/rx7rb_vehiclelayouts.meta</Item>

If I do this, NO CAR in the entire pack spawns - it says "INVALID MODEL."

Would appreciate your help.
