why is rockstar still against modding?

i do not know if this fits in here but i will mention gta v aswell in this post

 

my question is what is the deal with rockstar games always being against modding they told me themselves they are not against it but they don't support it either sure some may say it may affect dlc sales i don't see how it would as rockstar releases huge dlcs with brand new content something modding cannot replace i still buy there dlcs as they are wourth the money compared to other games that sell 3 cars for 10$

 

remember when icenhancer was viral rockstar games posted about it in their facebook page including a zombie mod if they hated modding so much why would they post it

 

my guess was/is their view on modding has changed untill i got la noire that game is so crypted that it's not even funny they have crypted inside and out of that game and they are not afraid to show it the game consists of 3 folders each folder containing weird files one folder containing the good things named .big.pc for example one file called vehicles.big.pc

 

what do all of you think why is rockstar like this in terms of modding what bad does modding cause i mean sure there are BAD mods out there like aimbots (looking at you nixolas1) but there are also good mods changing the game for the better not harming anyone

 

why would rockstar be so yes and no about modding and so mysterious do you think they will crypt gta v as much as la noire is crypted?

They don\'t want people to start putting Modern day buildings and cars in the LA Noire map, because it would kind of take away from V. Also, I think they are a tad bitter at the modding community due to the infamous Hot Coffee mod.

Hot Coffee was an inside job to make the PC version sell more.

Yeah, it ended up costing them money, because they had to take it out and issue new copies or the game wouldve been rated Adults Only.

Okay, so I don't really know where to start.

 

I mean, they probably encrypted L.A. Noire PC, either because they've made it a guideline to do it, and they probably know modders will find a way to decrypt anyway, and/or L.A. Noire isn't originally their game, and Team Bondi's, so maybe they weren't sure if they could do that or not...? I don't know. I don't know how the gaming industry works, especially on a company that has gone under.

LA Noire engine was developed by a different company.

I doubt there would be any LA Noire modding community anyway.

yes i know la noire was developed by team bondi but rockstar helped so i immediatly thought of eflc that also was crypted

 

for some reason they uncrypted the handling files

Yes it is.

 

3D Ripper DX. Since the game uses DX9, it should work.

No, many people have reported DX Ripper won't on LA Noire.

I can give it to you in terms of music since I do not develop games. Imagine working on a beautiful music album for a year and then putting it out there in the world. The album is perfect in every way you could imagine. Every piece of music is exactly how you would want it. Then you have some "artists" that come along and decide to alter the music to suit there style and mood. Then all of a sudden your original piece of music is marred forever.

 

I feel like R* has this innate love with there creations and wouldn't want people to alter them. Even though they really can not do much about it.

Their official position is against mods, so if they are taken to court they can always use that against those pressing charges. But in real life they couldn't care less about the non-commercial mods, especially since it boosts up the popularity of the games.

 

E.G. if another Hot Coffee springs up they can sue the person who discovers it rather than being sued against.

Are you dumb? GTA SA is still being played alot thanks to a Multiplayer mod. And many other mods makes people still play thouse games (and even buy them just for mods).

R* has never tried to do anything to purposefully hinder ability of fans to mod GTA games. They provided no tools, but they never made it difficult, either. LA Noire might be different because it was actually put together by a different studio. There might be other reasons as well, but at any rate, I wouldn't look at it as a trend. GTA V should be no harder to mod than IV.

Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

You probably have the version 2.0, that R* made impossible to mod. You have to downgrade it. Look it up.

Ok so it gives them minimal financial gain (20$ here and there to the few people who purchase the game nowadays) and adds replay value to the game. But overall I don't think they enjoy the way people end up butchering the game. I have played using many SA mods and they just ruin the game for me, and am not a big MP fan. Now if I am dumb for having a personal opinion about it then I enjoy my idiocy.

You are not dumb for having an opinion, I said it because you think modding dosn't give Rockstar more buyers. Modding has been around since before GTA III, many people have bought VC, SA and IV when they were new games because they already know the modding possibilities. It's not just a few buyers 4 years later.

 

And honestly, if they really didn't like people to mod their games (because it's their work) they would actually DO something to stop it.

Well like I said they probably do not like people modding there games, but since you stated how popular it is, they also don't disallow it either.

 

Oh and I asked a question I didn't say that it didn't give them financial gain

Modders made gta iv on consoles boring and they freeze the game up

Here we talk about PC modding. Console modding is not allowed.

Yup two types of mods

Mods and hacks.

 

Hot coffee was rockstars cock up - they left the files in. I believe they're also present in the ps2 versions, and I've seen ARMAX codes (now likely removed) that eneabled it. I think I tried it too.

The mod just reactivated it, a d r* jumped at the chance to blame someone else. I think they see the funny side though as there's a IV achievment/trophy called hot coffe or warm coffee (it's been a while).

 

So, after their cock up and the cost it had to them, they will of course officially oppose modding.

 

Also the comparison to music - though very loose - makes sense. They created the game to their image and now people corrupt that with their mods.

 

I however loved modding. III VC and SA were heavily modded back in the day, and it was brilliant. It added replay value and the SAMP mod was pure genius.

 

As a writer, I know about interpretation - I will write something that some will take one way, others another, likely differing to my ideas. That's what modding is - reinterpretation, but via a different media.

 

Musically were talking about remixes. Mods are remixes. Linkin parks REANIMATION album, is HYBRID THEORY remixed. In gaming terms, modded. Some say it's better, some say it's worse. Some people are against remixes.

 

Had hot coffee not have existed, they may be more relaxed but I think there's a piracy and copyright factor too - few games companies offer full modding support.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Hot Coffee is one prime example where both PC and consoles shared the same infamous minigame, and hacking of consoles effected online gaming there I know, that's what Rockstar is truly against, I'm sure. It makes online game matches simply unfair

 

They've not been against offline modding of the Game World aspects. This has been talked about before, within the HC topics that sprang up. In 2005, Computer Gaming Magazine covered the mod aspect talking WITH ROCKSTAR's Terry Donovan, as I had mentioned, I unearthed that interview in print.

 

Reverting SA back to an earlier version is only possible via a software DL utility, I got it via a friend who does his own mods. Former member here at the GTAF

If you look it up, be discrete is all I can say, you can't talk about meddling in the games other then the topics already presented to your LEFT <---

Hot Coffee is one prime example where both PC and consoles shared the same infamous minigame, and hacking of consoles effected online gaming there I know, that's what Rockstar is truly against, I'm sure. It makes online game matches simply unfair

modding is allowed but i assume you're talking about "warez" - the illegal sharing the game, cd cracks, shared game directories etc?

 

Modding the actual game's .exe would come under warez i assume as it'd mean distributing an illicit executable presumably with a no CD crack which of course this forum and all its members are opposed to.

 

 

I was lucky to have bought SA in the first few months, and had backed up the original SA.EXE, so modding for me was no problem. My laptop wont run SA properly though so no modding for me past VC sad.gif

 

 

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
