Understanding GTA 5 Script Mods

Learn the difference between .asi and .cs mods.

.ASI Scripts (C++ Based)

• What they are: Native code plugins
• Where to install: GTA V root folder
• Require: Script Hook V + ASI Loader
• Examples: Trainers, ENB, Heap Adjuster
• Advantage: Faster, more powerful

.CS Scripts (C# Based)

• What they are: .NET managed code
• Where to install: GTA V/scripts/ folder
• Require: ScriptHookVDotNet
• Examples: Gameplay mods, mission mods
• Advantage: Easier to develop, more common

.VB Scripts (Visual Basic)

• Also require ScriptHookVDotNet
• Same installation as .cs files
• Less common than C# scripts

Installation Steps

1. For .asi files:
   • Copy to GTA V root folder
   • Ensure ASI Loader installed
2. For .cs/.vb files:
   • Create 'scripts' folder if it doesn't exist
   • Copy .cs/.vb and .dll files to scripts/
   • Install ScriptHookVDotNet

Troubleshooting Scripts

• Check ScriptHookV.log for errors
• Ensure correct folder placement
• Check for conflicting scripts
