Support for InfamousSabre's Pickups GTA V Mod - v1.70.3. See mod at gta5-mods.com

Features

Remember InfamousSabre's Pickups mod? Unfortunately his mod does not support the latest DLC weapons so I tried continuing his work.

• Updating 26 DLC weapons and their bullet speeds up to GTA V 1.70.

  Full list of updated weapons

  • Arena War DLC: Up-n-Atomizer, Unholy Hellbringer, Widowmaker
  • The Diamond Casino Heist DLC: Ceramic Pistol, Navy Revolver, Hazardous Jerry Can
  • The Cayo Perico Heist DLC: Military Rifle, Combat Shotgun, Perico Pistol
  • The Contract DLC: Heavy Rifle, Stun Gun MP, Fertilizer Can, Compact EMP Launcher(*)
  • Criminal Enterprises DLC: Metal Detector, Service Carbine, Precision Rifle
  • Los Santos Drug Wars DLC: WM 29 Pistol, Candy Cane, Coil Railgun, Acid Package
  • San Andreas Mercenaries DLC: Tactical SMG
  • The Chop Shop DLC: Battle Rifle, Hacking Device, Snowball Launcher
  • Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC: The Shocker
  • Agents of Sabotage DLC: El Strickler
  • (*): So I dug deeper and discovered the .ydr texture files of Compact EMP Launcher (w_lr_compactml.ydr & w_lr_compactml_hi.ydr) don't have "Bounds" like other weapons --> I guess it's why its pickup model couldn't be drawn properly. But this is out of my scope.

• Customized number of slots: 8 slots and 4 slots

  List of weapon slots

  • 8 slots (rearranged, based on michelangelo777):
    • 0: Fist
    • 1: Throwable
    • 2: Submachine
    • 3: Rifle/Shotgun
    • 4: Heavy Weapon
    • 5: Sniper Rifle/Machine Gun/Miscellaneous

    • 1: (Light) Handgun/Melee

• Simplified installation and uninstallation.

• Supplementary resources for custom scripting

Installation

1. REQUIRED: Pickups 2.2 by InfamousSabre. I only update the new weapons, which WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT HIS MOD (AND BREAK YOUR GAME).
2. Backup your two files: GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/ai/weapons.meta and GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/pickups.meta
3. Download Pickups 2.2 by InfamousSabre. DO NOT INSTALL THROUGH OPENIV BUT EXTRACT AS ARCHIVE.
4. Move the folder Pickups and the files Pickups.asi, Pickups.ini to GTA V folder
5. DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING ELSE FROM PICKUPS. Now we move on to my update.
6. Extract my Support for InfamousSabre's Pickups mod
7. Move the folder ./composed/mod/Pickups to GTA V/Pickups
8. Move everything inside ./weapon-merger/composed/merged/update/update.rpf/dlc_patch to GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf/dlc_patch
9. (Optional) Patch for LCPP: Move ./composed/patch-lcpp/update/update.rpf/dlc_patch/mpheist4/content.xml to GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf/dlc_patch/mpheist4
10. Move everything inside ./composed/mod/update/update.rpf to GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf
11. Optional 4 slots: move the files pickups.xml and slots.xml from ./composed/optional-4-slots to GTA V/Pickups.

Uninstallation

1. Delete Pickups/, Pickups.asi, Pickups.ini
2. Extract ./weapon-merger/weapons-pickups-meta-uninstall-1.70.7z to current folder (same level as this file).
3. Open the ./weapon-merger/composed/uninstall-content-dlcpatch.yaml - This is the instruction to handle content.xml in each dlc_patch
4. Copy everything in ./uninstall/update/update.rpf to GTA V/mods/update/update.rpf
   • These should have reverted the DLCs under to-patch in ./composed/uninstall-content-dlcpatch.yaml
5. For the remaining DLCs, i.e. under to-delete in ./weapon-merger/composed/uninstall-content-dlcpatch.yaml, you can safely delete the content.xml file manually.
   • Originally these files do not exist in the vanilla version
