GTA V Modding Launcher 0.7.2 BETA
74.418

74.418

This launcher needs .NET 5 Desktop Runtime (x86) to work. It usually is not installed by default on most Windows computers
The launcher is open source on github.
This launcher enables you to easily switch between several sets of mods without having to move the mods yourself. It can also be used to move all your mods outside of your game directory automatically.
In order for the launcher to work properly, all vanilla files have to be genuine. GTA V can be modded without replacing any core file, which is, in my opinion, the best practice. Since the launcher works by moving files, it obviously won't work if core files have been modified.
For example, if you want to modify vanilla .rpf files, you must keep the original file as it is, and use OpenIV.asi for the game to load the modified version in the "mods" folder.
How to use the launcher ?
Simply create a new profile (with the + button), make it active (with a right click on its name) and put mods in your game's folder normally (while being sure not to replace any base game file).
When first starting the launcher, if your game is already modded, a new profile called "Modded Profile" will automatically be created with the current mods.
How does it work ?
The launcher searches for modded files using a provided manifest of all vanilla files. When you switch profiles, it moves the mods in the GTA V directory to an external folder, then moves the mods of the other profile to the game. Using this launcher, you don't need several "Grand Theft Auto V" folders anymore !

@diznanl Are you getting any error? Can you send me your logs (via pastebin.com). There should be a file named "latest.log" next to the launcher's exe. If it doesn't exist, please enable logging in the launcher's settings
@Pursuit No errors - it's just not doing anything. https://pastebin.com/ijWRS33x
@diznanl Your logs are not indicating any profile switch. Please switch to the vanilla profile (for example), then switch back to your modded profile and launch the game.
If it doesn't fix your issue, please send me your logs again (without launching the launcher again. I need to know what the launcher is doing when it switches between different profiles).
I installed every microsoft urn time package, and when i click the launcher it says: "To run this application, you must install .NET.
The framework'Microsoft.WindowsDekstop.App', version '5.0.0' was not found.
Would you like to download it now? And after clicking yes, it downloads me the same file that says Uninstall or Repair. I clicked repair a lot of times, and still the same message. Help?
@DyDyRifle Please download both the x86 and the x64 version of the .NET **desktop** runtime
I figured that out, but when i used it it wiped all my mods and the vanilla won't start, then when i clicked the modded profile i got a fatal error. I backed up, but all the xml files dissapeared for some reason.
@DyDyRifle Weird. Can you send me your logs via pastebin.com? You can enable logging in the settings menu. Then, your log file will be located in the "Latest.log" file next to the launcher's executable.
Regardless, your mods should be in a "Profiles" folder that is also located next to the launcher's executable.
This thing kept crashing my Windows explorer because it made several "infinite" modded profile folder trees.
@Daedalus_CZ "Infinite modded profile folder trees" ? Do you mean that the launcher created an infinite amount of subdirectories in your profile's external directory? If so... Weird. It shouldn't, unless you have a loop in your game's folder tree? Are you using symbolic links?
Also, if you open your profile's external dir while switching profiles, it may cause instabilities with explorer.exe. Explorer doesn't play well with programs that massively move files around and create directories (especially if you've opened one of those directories in Explorer)
Program itself kinda works, but is messy.
Theres no easy way to add mods to a certain profile, even if i have one profile picked, it adds mod from vanilla profile.
@Saeo The program should completely work. Are you experiencing any issue? Also, why do you mean by "messy"?
Finally, to add mods to a certain profile, simply make it active (with a right click on its name), and mod your game normally, as said in the description.
Please note that the launcher will ONLY work if you don't replace any vanilla game file. The great thing about GTA V is that you can mod your game simply by adding extra files, so it's a good idea to take advantage of this property :)
@Pursuit i think that better thing would be that launcher detects modded files (Like gta 5 mod remove tool) and lets you pick wich mods do you wanna use on a profile. Ill also try to use it the way you told me it works.
@Saeo That could be an interesting feature to have. However, the launcher's meant to address a slightly different use case.
If I understood correctly, you're suggesting that the launcher uses a single mod pool, and allows you to create different profiles that each use a different subset of these mods. Such a behavior won't allow you to use the launcher as extensively as you can use it today. For example, you wouldn't be able to have several profiles that each use a different version of the same mod, and, generally speaking, you wouldn't be able to create truly independent profiles.
On the other hand, the launcher as it is today allows you to create modded profiles independently from each other, the only thing they have in common being the actual game. The end result is that you can do exactly the same things you could do with several hard copies of the game (provided they would all use the same version of GTA V), without actually having to allocate the disk space that would be necessary to hold all of these copies.
@Pursuit if I play online will I get banned? I mainly mod gta for performance
@toxicfox2491 You shouldn't go online with any mods, even if they're only related to performance.
I believe you can't even play online with mods installed. I tried to play online for the first time with mods and it just said "You are attempting access to GTA Online with an altered version of the game."
@Teej18 Indeed. This is mainly why I created this launcher: to remove all mods from my game when I went online
this saves times incase somethings goes wrong
@Pursuit Do you plan on updating this to .NET 6? Otherwise, this has been an essential tool for me for a long time now. Thank you for making it!
@just Gesha I'm happy to hear you like it :)
I've started migrating my applications to .NET 6, and to a new UI framework, called Avalonia. So yeah, eventually I guess I'll also update the launcher ^^
