Welcome to GTA5-Mods.com

@SweetCheekz118 I’d say it mainly makes things easier both for you and for anyone you share your mods with — especially mods that contain a lot of files.

An OIV file is basically a packaged mod archive that installers like OpenIV can read and install automatically. What my program does is simplify the process of creating those packages. It automatically handles things like generating the required XML data, writing the correct install paths, and adding needed entries (like dlclist.xml lines) so the installer knows exactly where everything should go.

The goal is to remove a lot of the tedious/manual setup and make packaging and sharing GTA V mods much more beginner-friendly and reliable.

In the latest Version (which is currently waiting for approval) it also comes With a installer which makes you able to install Your mods directly into Your game files, also With a uninstall function.

@JoyLucien i have found the issue, it's an issue with how the application builds the oiv's, not how it extracts them. will be fixed shortly. but if you want to extract oiv's thats not built with my application, it should work fine.

@JoyLucien weird.. I've had no problems when testing

@JoyLucien your suggestions has been added to the current 1.5 version

@JoyLucien yes in the left sidebar you have the option "Open OIV" select your .oiv file and it will unpack

@JoyLucien not sure if you already caught it, but your suggestion has been added, make sure to get the latest version.

@mgiturm122 ped replace menu is now available in the 1.4 version

@davixxx haven't tested, but it should as long as the mod itself is compatable with enhanced version. This tool only packs it for OpenIV to read and install.

Looks like the big update will be coming sooner than in a week, stay tuned.

BIG update coming very soon! Make sure to check back in a week or so to get the latest version!
