Alexander Blade's ASI loader will not work without a patchbecause it checks if `GTA5.exe` is the binary it's been attached to.

NOP-ing this check will get it to load `OpenIV.asi`which will then fail due to patterns which need to be updated.

scripthookv update is already in process... alexander blade was successfull in making it work in enhancedhowever as he reported todayit seems that the textures do not load (or at least not properly) it will take a while for this

we just have to wait

Not even info about commandline.txt lines (url=legacy)if it's always a thing or notnext hoping no logo (skip warnings and video at start).

advanced asi loader worksno need to nop anything. Of course openiv.asi won't indeed work.

OpenIV.asi won't even try to launch without AB's ASI loaderfor some reason. I don't think we'll depend on it anymorethough.

actually it did inject using advanced asi loaderbut it fails with the same error message as in your screenshot. 

Considering the last update was almost three years agoit might indeed be that they  won't update it anymore. 

Is there any way to manually replace vehicles? I tried and game wont even start. Butwhen I use ArchiveFix.exe.. game stops after rockstar intro which is one step forward.

I have kinda working openiv so I can edit .xml and .meta files.

Ich habe selber einen Unlock ALL mit 2 Bilionen390 Millionen und 500 Tausend auf dem Konto. Würde es ausreichendass ich meinen Kontostand auf 200-300 Millionen GTA5 Dollar schmäleredamit ich die E+E Version zocken (übertragen) kann ?? 

Der Account ist über 5 Monate alt und hat hat wie gesagt 2 390 500 000$ auf dem Konto. Wie kriege ich das Geld am schnellsten weg ?? Habe jetzt angefangendas Casino zu fütternindem ich Jetons kaufe und damit meine Taschen leere. Reicht das aus ?? Oder wie kriege ich das Geld alle ?? Habe alle Garagen voll. Oder sollte ich die Garagen mit Doppeltkäufen von Polizei Hellfires belegendamit jedes mal 5 Millionen weggehen ?

Enhanced can look even better with mods. All thanks to dexy and codewalker.

How's the modding situation going on in this version? I assume we can't use SP menus and trainers yet right?

Scripts won't work until scripthook is updated and even then scripts will probably have to be partially remade. Gen9 assets can be converted to legacy at this pointbut not the other way around as far as I know. Small data changes like with graphics mods work fine as long as the rpfs are rebuilt correctly.

btwI'm trying to backport enhanced vehicles to be able to spawn them in legacy but no success...

You need a dev build of codewalker from github which can only be compiled from source right now. I don't know how to do that and the page doesn't have any instructions so I'm just waiting for the next release.

I have it compiled myself but I don't think you should trust random exes from strangers. 

Honestlyjust download the repo as a zipinstall Visual Studioopen the SLN filehit buildgo to the codewalker folderlook for another called bin and copy the files (exes and stuff) over the latest copy from gta5mods.

truethe part that I thought was the hardestwhich would be compiling the codewalker from githubwas actually the easiestthe hard part is being able to backport gen9 vehicles to gen8 since the vehicles still don't spawn anyway

I can't figure it out either lolI can't even export anything to xml which is literally the first stepit's all greyed out no matter what. Oh well sjaak was able to do it so at least I know it's possible. Hopefully this will be made a little more user-friendly in the future. As someone whos never used codewalker before if this is our OpenIV replacement the transition is gonna be rough.

Models or actual Meta/XML files? XMLs just extract raw.

I eventually got it to work and the files convertedhowever I could never get the game to load as it would always throw a FIL_PACK_3 error. Throwing in the towel for now.

I seemight be the rpf cache issue or the rpf file itself needing the archive-fix thingy.

One thing that the modding scene for this game suffered for years (and is now facing the consequences) is overreliance on GooD's OpenIV.

Completely closed sourcehis website and the tool were unavailable for months and now either someone reverse engineer's his DLL or starts to create a new loader (sort of from zero) just to get Enhanced to load custom content. Sucks.

I say f*ck that sh*t. Rockstar got what they wantedthey can keep their Enhanced edition free of me modding it if converting everything to legacy actually works as well as I've seen others do it. Only problem is that codewalker needs a better way to automate it so it isn't so tedious. I can almost guarantee the error is due to me not converting somethingbut I don't remember enough about GTA 5 modding to know what it is.

archive fix doesnt work because it looks for GTA5.exeim not smart enough to edit archivefix to look for GTA5_Enhanced.exe i tried 

i dont understand how modders like chromatix were able to reencrypt the archives for their enhanced ver mods without it working

It doesn't look for game's .exe at allI've imported my own mods into update.rpf then used archive fix on the archiveand everything works just fine in Enhanced Version.

BTWofficial modding tools are coming(yeah I am surprised as well for this Rockstar movethe only thing that can surprise me more is GTA VI PC version releasing same time as consoles )

this you put in mods\update\x64\dlcpacksall of them

then use :

https://forum.jvangent.nl/download/trainervb.rar

and set: OverrideDetection=1 in defaults section of ini.

This will give you: five vehiclesone weaponone interior (the vinewood club garage) and all vehicle mod kits in legacy. For modding enhancedthat is now also possiblebut it's a bloody drag to do : )

Enjoy

You're a real one my manthanks. Was just about to post a progress reportbut this saves me the work!

Edit: Unfortunately doesn't work for me all the way. Weapon and interior works finebut the five vehicles and mod kits don't want to spawn in. All trainers will claim the vehicle is spawnedbut nothing actually appears. Tested on 2 different installsclean game. If anyone else could test and see if it's not just my gamethat would be greatbecause I can't wrap my head around why this stuff can't spawn in...

Edit Edit: I've figured it out. in update.rpf/common/datathere are 2 files: gen9_exclusive_assets_peds.meta and gen9_exclusive_assets_vehicles.metawhich blocks these things from spawning. Blanking out these files lets them spawn fine. The only thing I haven't figured out yet are the chameleon paints which all show up in the menu without any name and are all just blackbut its probably something similar where there's a data file from gen9 that has to be brought over or something.

if you already dumped the keys it will workbut you cant dump the keys with the current versionI've just messed around for an hour with decompiling and recompiling it  so it looks for GTA5_Enhanced.exe but it only makes a partial dump and i get the following error

Forgot to mentionyou need to edit mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\gen9_exclusive_assets_vehicles.meta in LEGACY

and replace everything with this:

Gen9ExclusiveAssetsDataVehicles>
  <VehicleModels>
  </VehicleModels>
  <VehicleData>
    </VehicleData>
</Gen9ExclusiveAssetsDataVehicles>
