Notes:
Be aware, that an active Patreon Membership (Full Mod Access or higher) is required to play the Mod. KITT or KARR will eject you otherwise
Since the GTA5 Enhanced version is currently not supporting script mods properly, you need to use the Legacy Game Version of GTA 5 for the mod
This mod is designed for keyboard. I don't know and can't test how the functions work with controllers.
Due to the number of functions, it's highly recommended to use a keyboard with a Numpad
To display all Animations and effects properly, i would recommend turning msaa on
If Scripthook does not work with the latest GTA Game Update, you might have to downgrade the game until scripthook got updated.
If you encounter issues with Scripthook, check out other Nightly Builds here
If the verification does not work, make sure, your game is not minimized while starting/loading
Rockstar came up with a new Anti Cheat System, that unfortunately also affects the Story Mode and blocks all script mods. To keep using script mods, you need to deactivate this Anti Cheat System, which can be done in the Rockstar Launcher. As an alternative, you could simply remove the GTA5_BE file from your gta5 main folder (i recommend to make a backup before doing so) and click retry when the Battle Eye Anti Cheat Software brings up an error message
If you encounter issues with verification, make sure, you don't block incoming communcation. Some users have reported, that there might be an issue with anti virus software blocking incoming communication. For some people, it also helped switching to edge browser as default browser for verification
Installation (Download the PDF Version below):
Since a lot of people asked for it, i created a detailed Installation Video Guide for you as well. But this video is outdated, so its just for orientation. you should check out my provided pdf guide.
Notes about Installation Support:
I do not support on setting up your GTA 5 or on getting your game working for mods. I also won't copy the files for you.
Everything you need is provided and explained in the Installation Guide and the readme files.
Please read the Installation Guide or watch the Video Guide carefully and follow the steps to make sure, everything is working properly.
After you made sure, you followed all steps carefully and still have any issue, please make screenshots of your folders and ingame screenshots to explain and show your issue (including a detailed list of the steps you did so far) in my Discord
if you just write, that something is not working, we can not help ;)
Big Thanks to all my patreons for their awesome support, that helps me developing and financing my mods
