GTA-V Environment Setup Guide

This guide provides a comprehensive step-by-step approach to setting up the GTA-V environment for experimental purposes. Ensure you follow each step carefully for a successful setup.

General Environment Setup

Step 1: Download GTA-V

Step 2: Install Microsoft Visual Studio

Step 3: Download Script Hook V

Step 4: Download Script Hook V SDK

  • Obtain the Script Hook V SDK from the same website. Place it into a folder named SHVsdk.

Step 5: Copy Necessary Files

  • From the ScriptHookV/bin folder, copy dinput8.dll and ScriptHookV.dll. Paste these files into your GTA-V installation folder.

Step 6: Clone the Repository

  • In Microsoft Visual Studio, execute the command: 
    git clone https://github.com/Dorbmon/gtavTask.git

Step 7: Copy SDK Folders

  • From SHVsdk, copy the inc, lib, and samples folders. Paste them into the sdk folder of the gtavTask repository you just cloned.

Step 8: Build the Solution

  • Open the solution in Visual Studio and build it. This will generate ScriptHookVDotNet.asi, ScriptHookVDotNet2.dll, and ScriptHookVDotNet3.dll in gtavTask/bin/debug. Copy these three files and paste them into your GTA-V folder.

Writing Scripts and Testing in GTA-V

Step 1: Create New Script

  • Under gtavTask/Examples, create a new script file, e.g., mission_new_task.cs.

Step 2: Modify Config for Examples

  • Adjust the configuration to match your GTA-V directory. For example, if your GTA-V is located in D:\Game\GTAV, modify the config as shown below. This ensures that the newly generated .dll file is copied directly to your game directory after the build process.
<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
   <Exec Command="xcopy /Y $(SolutionDir)examples\bin\$(Configuration)\scripts\$(ProjectName).dll &quot;D:\Game\GTAV\scripts\rx.3.dll*&quot;" />
 </Target>

Step 3: Run GTA-V to Test the Script

  • Finally, launch GTA-V to test if the script works as expected.

By following these steps, you should have a fully functional GTA-V environment set up for your experiments. Happy coding and gaming!

Addition:

To test scripts conveniently, we provide a 100% save file, to load this save file:

  1. Copy the save file provided here to C:\Users\user_name\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\random_number
  2. Restart the game, go to SETTINGS\GAME\LOAD GAME, select the save point.
