Installation of script mods with the .lua extension based on Script Hook V and LUA Plugin.

Do you want to know how to install various mods on the PC version of Gta 5? This is a detailed instruction describing the procedure for installing various mods on GTA 5.
Lately, I have been increasingly faced with questions about installing mods that I post on the site. In this article I will briefly but succinctly tell you how mods, scripts, cars are installed on your version of GTA 5, I will take screenshots, I hope there will be no more questions.

This article is aimed at the younger generation, for people who do not understand at all how to install mods.

So, what is needed to install and use mods in Gta 5?
1) Computer version of gta 5.
2) Attentiveness.
3) The ability to copy files from folder to folder, open archives.

What mods are there for the game Gta 5?

Currently there is 3 types of mods for this wonderful game.
First type: Script mods, these mods do not require editing game files, are installed as simply as possible.
Second type: Mods are installed inside the game itself, the game files are edited and replaced with a special program, and installation is a little more complicated.
Third type: Program mods, launched before the game starts, and change something in the game, are quite simple, but not widespread, there are very few of them.

Is it possible to get banned for using mods on a licensed version of the game?

Yes, you can get a ban, but only when you go online.
When using script mods, you can play online; standard loaders (more on this later) turn off scripts when you go online.
Basically, you can get a ban when trying to play with modified game files, although when you go online, the game checks the files and may force you to reload the modified files (Steam will download them itself).
However, it is better to be on the safe side by following a few rules.

Rules on how to protect yourself from being banned in GTA online when installing mods:

At the moment, if you have a license and you edit game files with the program, previously the game allowed you to play offline with changed game files, now very often the game reports that the files have been changed even in an offline game.

1) If you change game files using a program, make backup copies of this file, and replace this file back before going online. Just use the folder
2) If disk space allows, copy the entire game folder, and before going online, simply delete the game with mods (or transfer it temporarily) and restore the clean version.
3) For mods use pirated version of the game, but the pirated game is not updated so quickly, patches for it are not released late and you will have a slightly outdated game.
4) Before going online, check the game hash (in Steam), Steam itself will check the integrity of the game files and, if anything happens, download the changed files again.
5) Do not believe various information on Yotube or other sites that tell you how to get a lot of money online, or about other cheating, because after this information was released online, the game developers could fix the vulnerabilities and issue bans to those who try to use them. Look at the publication dates, such “tricks” do not last very long.

In general, let's get down to the mods themselves, how to distinguish them, how they are installed, and what is needed for this.

How to distinguish script mods from others?

Everything is very simple, if the installation of the mod begins with the phrase, open the program, then this is not a script mod and you are editing game files.

1) Script mods

These mods can be written in different programming languages and they differ slightly in installation.
You need to read the installation section for each mod, there I indicate what needs to be copied and where, what needs to be installed.
In short, script mods may require some additional files, libraries, and loaders to work.

To install it, you need to download the archive with the mod, find the folder with your gta 5, this folder should contain the gta5.exe file, and copy the mod files inside.
That is, installing the bootloader consists of copying files from the archive to the game folder.
.
Similar to this bootloader, the bootloaders and plugin are installed by simply copying them to the desired location.
Each news contains instructions on which files to copy where for installation.

After you have completed these simple steps, you can choose a mod for yourself, each mod indicates what is necessary for the mod to work, and it also indicates which files from the downloaded archive need to be copied.

Example, installation.

For this mod to work, you need to install (one-time, of course), then download the mod and open the archive with it. Inside the archive there will be a folder called Scripts, move it to the game folder, combine the folder if necessary.
This completes the installation. In other mods you will need to transfer the files to the game folder or to the scripts folder which is in the game folder.

2) Installing mods, cars, textures by editing game files.

These mods are installed in GTA 5 using the program, you need to download and install it. (the news contains more detailed instructions for installing the program).
After you have opened the program and specified the path to your game folder, you will see the following picture:

Each mod has its own instructions on installation, where and what files need to be copied.
Installation example.

The installation section states:
Open, enable editing.
Open the address: \update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday3ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\
Transfer the files tornado3.yft tornado3.ytd tornado3_hi.yft into the program.

When you open, turn on editing mode, the button is located on the top right.
After which you need to find the required file \update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday3ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\,
We find the update folder in the program, then x64, then dlcpacks and so on, a screenshot showing the edit button and the open path in the program.

Then open the downloaded archive with the mod and transfer the files from it directly to the program.
Visually it looks like this:

Remember, for each mod I indicate my installation features, addresses, which files to copy where, so read the installation section for each mod.

This is where the installation of most mods ends, nothing complicated, right? Remember the main thing:
1) Do not play with mods installed online.
2) Make copies of the game files, if something goes wrong or the game stops working, you can quickly restore everything.

Detailed instructions about this. First of all, what you need to know about mods is that they are divided into 2 different types - this is a regular mod and script mod.

Problems and their solutions:

I see a frequent question in the comments about an error that occurs at the beginning of installing some mods into the game.
I will answer this question once and here.
If you downloaded any mod and the installer refused to install it in your game, then be sure to check whether all add-ons, or as they are also called DLC, are installed on you.
The fact is that the game is updated and, accordingly, mods are made for certain updates that you may not have.

I also recommend installing a licensed game purchased on Steam. This is guaranteed to mean that your game has all the DLC installed.
If you downloaded GTA 5 from a torrent, then you will have to look for the latest version of the build.
But there is another option: you can accept the fact that the mod is not for your game and download others.

Important! Those who use a licensed game will have to monitor updates to the ScriptHook program.
Although the game is rarely updated, after the update the game stops starting and you will see the following error.

What should be done? That's right, install the new version from the developer's website, or from our website. We regularly update the program, follow our news.

How to install the script in GTA 5

In order to install and run a script mod, you need to determine the type of script mod. Usually, mod creators write in the instructions what tools are needed to install a particular modification. But the type of modification can also be determined by the extension of the sprint file:

Common scripts:

Scripts based on the LUA plugin:

Scripts based on the .NET platform:

DLL
- CSS
- D.B.

So, you have defined the script type. If this is an ASI script, then simply copy the file with the .asi extension to the root directory of the game. But if you have a script based on LUA or .NET, then you will need to install additional components.
