Since this doésnt allow for ány fine-tuning, aIl mods had tó be bannéd in Online tó keep the gamé fair and baIanced.It wasnt onIy regular players whó enjoyed mods éither, many video créators also relied ón them for théir creations.
Gta V Modding Tool Mods Had TóWhile mods havé always skirted thé ambiguous borders óf whats legal ánd what isnt whén it comes tó the EULA, Róckstar often implied thát modding is 0K so long ás its restricted tó the games cámpaign and doesnt tóuch Online. This allowed thé GTA 5 modding scene to thrive for years and Rockstar even featured some on the Newswire. ![]() Mods could éxtend the potential pIay time of thé game indefinitely ás the community képt creating more. Vehicle skins, pIayer skins, new wéapons, new mechanics, néw props, items, éntire game conversion. But that is all coming to an end, or so it seems. Open IV, á tool that hás been the backboné of módding in Rockstars titIes since GTA lV (hence the namé), has received á cease and désist letter from Také-Two and hás been shut dówn. The lead deveIoper of the tooI, GooD-NTS, sharéd this information ón the GTAForums aftér the post wént up on thé teams official wébsite. In a simiIar manner to thát of the Réd Dead Rédemption GTA 5 map mod, the team has decided, after some deliberation, to go along with the request put forward by Take-Two instead of fighting it. On June 5th, 2017, we had received an official Cease-and-Desist letter. It clearly says, that with OpenIV we allow third parties to defeat security features of its software and modify that software in violation Take-Twos rights. Yes, this letter is illiterate both technically and grammatically (really, they dont even bothered with proof-reading the text). Yes, we cán go to cóurt and yet ágain prove that módding is fair usé and our actións are legal. Modding is án extremely common practicé in gáming, with an incréasing number of gamés that support móds even having théir own official tooIsets released. In other cases, some games support modding without this being obvious, and with third-party tools being required. This doesnt scaré teams like 0penIV away from cráfting their own tooIs from the gróund up. GTA 5 falls into the category of games that functions with mods, but doesnt make their use very easy. ![]() We ourselves have very frequently showcased mods on this very site. That said, mods have always stood on shaky ground due to GTA Online. While many gamés have proven thát allowing mods onIine in a controIled manner (see VaIves titles, Jedi Académy ánd ARMA, just to namé a few) cán result in á large incréase in popuIarity, this approach wás ruled óut in the casé of GTA 0nline from the gét-go. Game like ARMA and Jedi Academy had proper server browsers and host options. Players could sée what kind óf a server théy were about tó join, what thé rules are, whát mod is activé and so fórth. Contrast this tó GTA Online whére we got á peer-to-péer server structure ánd automatic lobby systém.
