@FranklinTheGoon Ok, I'm going to make some updates to it first

@FranklinTheGoon Was removed, by myself, due to very few downloads

@gtavjamal You definitely have a nose for detail. These were rendered with Stable Diffusion and an SDXL checkpoint in ForgeUI....all that means is that you have only so much control on facial features without post processing...but I think they're very nice ladies, but yep, Megan is Queen.

@MissySnowie Good suggestion. Going to take a break from scripting I think and spend more time on Stable Diffusion and generative AI. You too Happy Hoppy Easter.

@gtavjamal Thanks bruh. On your last points, could not agree more. Developers who don't make the effort to make the scripts backwards compatible are either lazy, posers, or both. GTA V is an old game and its native functions do not change dramatically over time.

The native functions changes are very well documented so it would also be nice for SHV and SHVDN to ensure that deprecated or not, the functions are still accommodated rather than made obsolete. Unfortunately that's not always the case and explains why many old scripts no longer work. Personally I don't care because I live in 2372 and work with SHV for 2372 but with SHVDN 3.6 (not the nightly build). I have tested my own scripts on the most current GTA V builds and have yet to find a problem with this approach.

@MissySnowie Fully agree about low download count not necessarily correlating with mod/script quality. My remark was more about the horrible peds uploaded regularly in the past (and still today) that nobody downloaded - and for good reason. I haven't seen one even semi-decent ped mod since alex189 left the scene, which is very sad.

The scripts i write are based on my preferences, the way I play and they way i like my UI. This is highly personal and of course may or may not click with other users. I share these scripts but when I see the uptake is slow or just plain poor, I feel (right or wrong) that they just become "clutter".

As @gtavjamal alluded, there are great scripts and great peds that new users will likely never see, even if they filter by most downloaded (which is heavily biased for the earliest years), for the simple reason that they are buried deep in a huge pile of scripts.

Like any normal distribution, if we assume the mean is "just average, nothing special", then 50% of mods are basically garbage. If we no look at the top 5% of the curve, good luck finding them.

@gtavjamal Once more thank you for the kind words. I'm going to continue work on the Ped Scene Creator, for my personal use, but I realize now that most people are using Menyoo for a similar purpose which is understandable. More and more I'm moving away from Menyoo and writing my own scripts, but the Object Spooner function is still amazing and that's why the original Menyoo is still the best trainer IMO.

@MissySnowie @gtavjamal
A long time ago, when the Forums were active - the forums removed "for our security", I had once posted that there was too much crap uploaded and suggested if mods were not being downloaded they should be removed.

The suggestion was not well received. I guess quantity is more important than quality and we live in a world where participation rules rather than merit.

All that to say, I stand by what I wrote a few years back. I think the script was a good one but the community didn't share that opinion (low download count) so I removed it. Let's face it, the popular scripts are anything related to Heists and Hot Coffee. A Hot Coffee Heist would receive millions of downloads.

Why clutter the script pages? The Guides I prepared, on the other hand, appear to be well received, because they fill a need for new modders on how to get started and most importantly how to troubleshoot - without endlessly searching through millions of YouTube videos, some very good, but most very bad and outdated.

@gtavjamal BTW, my scripts have been uploaded, without permission, to many other GTA V mod sites. I don't care if they do that but I don't recommend downloading from these sites given the scripts may have been altered, they may contain malicious code. Keep in mind also that anti-virus or VirusTotal are for viruses, which doesn't necessarily include malicious code. If you're comfortable using a decompiler, you can verify the code is safe. If not, stay away.

@llamaxus If you disable any asi loader (dinput8, ultimate crap loader, dsound, or xinput1_4) no mods will load. Just make sure you rename with a .bak extension (or similar) because .dlls will load even if renamed. You should also know from Alexander Blade "Script Hook V is the library that allows to use GTA V script native functions in custom *.asi plugins. Note that it doesn't work in GTA Online, script hook closes GTA V when player goes in multiplayer, see details in the readme."

Still completely paranoid?
Remove the asi loader and remove Scripthookv as well. In passing, with Legacy, neither OpenIV nor Menyoo would allow you to go online.
