8. A Quick Review
Before we go any further, let's do a quick review of what essential mods we've installed and what our GTA 5 root folder will look like at this point in our journey. Some permit modding in the first place, others are to keep our modded game stable, and the Trainers are to facilitate the magic of mods (modifications). Remember you can click on any picture to get the full size view.
Our Installation Progress
ScriptHookV.dll which will have its own log file called ScriptHookV.log
From OpenIV, or the ScriptHookV package, we installed dinput8.dll which is the as iloader. It also has its own log file called asiloader.log. Asi mods are just compiled programs.
With OpenIV, we installed from its ASI Manager, OpenIV.asi which will load our addons.
With OpenIV, we also installed from its ASI Manager, openCameraV.asi which is optional but useful if you play with the Rockstar Video Editor.
For stability, we installed the Heap Limit Adjuster, HeapAdjuster.asi and HeapAdjuster.ini
Also for stability, to increase the number of addons the game can support, we installed the Packfile Limit Adjuster, PackfileLimitAdjuster.asi and its PackfileLimitAdjuster.ini.
We installed our first trainer, Menyoo.asi with its supporting folder menyooStuff which contains its configuration file.
Finally we installed the Simple Trainer, TrainerV.asi with its ini named trainerV.ini
You might have noticed a dog's breakfast of upper and lower case naming conventions, but don't blame us, that's how the creators named them. For example TrainerV.asi but trainerV.ini.
