Many on the chat have pointed torwards this in the past few days so I figured I might as well post about this. However, this mod is not at all hard to make as it just calls the script load native to get the scripts to run. A whole set of bugs is attached to this mod such as cutscenes / misssion text not syncing with other players, only peds, vehicles and ped actions are synced. As I happen to have modded GTAIV since day one, this syncing issue will always remain a problem unless people write an entirely new multiplayer engine for the game.

Several people have recently started working on a new project that plans to bring modern day Miami to the GTA: SA engine. While the project was started just a couple of days ago, the progress looks very exciting. They have already released a trailer, several screenshots and artwork, all of which, will be posted below.

We are happy to announce the much anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows® - LIVE on March 30, 2010. For the first time, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows - LIVE players will have the opportunity to experience the last two thrilling chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga.

The two action packed episodes will also be available for download on the PlayStation Network and Games for Windows® LIVE on March 30, 2010. Each episode boasts the same detailed and immersive Liberty City we all know and love. Games for Windows - LIVE players can enjoy 32-player multiplayer matches and an advanced video editor, and all fans will have the chance to once again listen to the dulcet tones of Liberty City Radio.

The Lost and Damned is a dark trip through Liberty City’s seedy underbelly as outlaw biker, Johnny Klebitz, fights to keep his gang together as a rift in the gang’s leadership threatens to tear the brotherhood apart. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, players explore Liberty City’s high-end nightlife as Luis Lopez, struggling to balance the temptations of money and vice against loyalties to family and friends. Both episodes feature a slew of new vehicles and weapons, and each episode adds new activities including cage fighting, gang wars and BASE jumping.

Today marks the day that TEAM 0x539 releases the very first version of the redefining, multiplayer capable, scripting hook for Grand Theft Auto 4. The total development time is currently set to around 3 months, so that's quite a long time. This new hook allows the hoster to define whether mods are allowed in his/her game, instead of just allowing all gamemodes, like the old g4mhook did. With this in mind, I hope that people won't call this hook a 'cheater hook' as the main reason this was created was because various people enjoy playing multiplayer with mods. This hook is in no way related to g4mhook, so that means that mods that require the g4mhook.dll won't work with this new hook, unless it has been ported over by the original author. The readme should answer most of your questions and the ini files allow you to set several settings.

So what's different? In a nutshell; host defines whether mods are allowed, a fullblown ingame log for developers, a fully working ingame FPS counter from within the hook, a nice intro with music and last but not least V1.0.0.4 support. Please note that previous GTA patches are not supported, this is a fresh start.

If you have any more questions I suggest you create a topic on the new mmgHOOK sub forum on our forums. Questions that are development-related will be removed from the article comments.

I just got outgame with the folks of TEAM 0x539 and I am happy to report that we've made it bug free, everything has been tested, from natives to multiplayer protection, it is all there and working properly. The release is scheduled for tomorrow, unless something unexpected pops up again. BIG THANKS go out to Sinister for putting up with the endless testing sessions.

This may not be big news, but GTA: Chinatown Wars is out for iPhone/iPod Touch. I personally love it, the gameplay is smooth and it looks great for an iPhone game, just like the DS version, at a fraction of the cost. Drop $10 if ya think its worth it and in my opinion, it is

Grab it here. It'll link you directly to the iTunes store, comment on how ya think it is or any thoughts about it :P

Hey guys, this article is especially written for those who are waiting for the upcoming release of mmgHOOK. In the past few weeks team 0x539 have been working on the new hook, adding directX functionality and fixing bugs. Team 0x539 is in the final stages of finishing everything, cleaning up code and team 0x539 hopes to be able to release it sometime next week. The only thing left to do is the new gamemode/admin protection that they told about earlier last year. Please bear with us and be patient. On a sidenote, constructMOD is also being ported to 1.0.0.4, making use of mmgHOOK, so more updates on that soon as well. Just to keep you excited above is a picture of mmgHOOK running on unranked matches.

Earlier this morning we have received numerous emails from Paul R. Statham, the Community/Public Relations Manager for Bohemia Interactive Studio. For those who do not know, Bohemia Interactive Studio are the good folk behind the popular ArmA series. They informed us that in their interpretation of the law linking to copyrighted material is not allowed, while in reality it is allowed as linking to material is not publishing material.

Either way, long story short; Bohemia Interactive goes after every modding site that posts models for usage in other games. Reason for it is probably the money they are missing out on. This means that the other popular GTA sites will most likely get a similar email soon, so go out now and get those models for your game, ha ha!

For those of you who have never played The Ballad of Gay Tony, Yusuf Amir is the guy that you work for. Yusuf Amir is an Arabic immigrant from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Yusuf is a Multi-billionaire property developer, his most notable achievement being the "hanging gardens of Amir" - an apartment complex suspended by balloons over the Persian Gulf. Amir runs into some problems in Liberty City, as his business is being extorted by an unknown union-linked sect of mafiosi.

While chatting to some dudes Flat Face pointed out this nice video that shows a work-in-progress modification that adds a horse to your game. The mod comes with complete 'idle' animations making the horse look quite real and not just some static object. As you can see there are still several bugs left to fix before releasing V2 but it sure as hell looks pretty good.

Four months ago we wrote about a guy who broke the world record "Longest time spent playing Grand Theft Auto IV". As can be read here, http://modmywhat.com/forum/index.php?topic=1791.0, the guy managed to play GTA IV for 40 hours and 20 minutes non-stop. A 19-year old student from Tennessee, US decided to trade his banjo and shotgun for a Xbox 360 controller to break the world record. It now seems he managed to succeed and is currently aiming for the 72 hour mark.

Shadow-Link released his first beta of Shadow-Mapper. With this tool you can basicly edit the GTA IV map and replace the objects you want into the different ones or just move them objects around the place.

UncleCrack has just informed me that a new version of ENBseries has been released for GTA4. This new version brings some wanted features to IV such as SSAO. Boris notes that this version should have a huge speed increase compared to the previous versions. Several screenshot galleries are scattered around the web but I haven't been able to get anything good with the normal settings.
