opium_addict Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not to put a damper on you're enthusiasm for the game guys, or the mods it will produce. HOWEVER, if Rockstar really steps up protection like you guys are BEGGING for, what makes you think this game will be moddable? I mean really, even if you can mod maps, skins, and all that stuff (which, believe me i think is great too) how will coders like me ever get into the "fun stuff", when will i be able to modify the physics of my punches with assembly? will it be possible? i seriously doubt it. When will IV-MP exist? will it exist? When will car NOS be implemented programmically? or maybe speedometers? I predict either we will NEVER be able to disassemble the new release of GTA-4 for PC, or we will be overloaded with piracy thanks to assholes on the internet. whats your guys opinion on the matter?

ROCKSTAR have downloadable content for the console version so there is an open window for you to gain access to. You just have to find it. I don't think ROCKSTAR has a lot of protection like def con 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think ROCKSTAR has a lot of protection like def con 1... It doesn't work like that, just because rockstar can add stuff to their own code it doesn't mean people will be able to mod it as easy. If the game has very strict copy protection it might check all the game files and refuse to start if any of them have been modified, so something as simple as a new car texture coudn't be added unless someone removes all the copy protection from the game.

[SM]CJZera Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 People said SA V2 wasn't modable... And now it is possible to do so... But I think that they should do like two files, one Moddable for SP and one UNmodable for MP 'coz many GTA players love to mod, it IS the spirit of GTA, so I don't think they make it Unmodable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00d Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Everything, and I mean everything is moddable and hackable. Things don't get impossible, they just get harder and harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezz6400 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I could post a long message about how it is possible to make a game modible through data files so modders don't need to touch the code anymore, etc. However none of that is really interesting, as the answer to this question is quite short: nobody outside Rockstar knows. There is no way of predicting, so we'll know when it's asked in an interview, or at the latest when the game is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
