GTAV NES port here we come
Now that the source code is "out there" it may be possible in the future for better mod support, fingers crossed.
"You have been banned from Rockstar Social Club."
But seriously, fuck their jank-ass forced integration.
Could be modded to work around their shit app
Wait, all mods have to go through that app? That's total shite. Is there any way to launch it completely offline or would someone just have to pirate it?
I imagine with this leak that's going to get cracked wide open soon
I like my software cracked wide open.
On a serious note, soon I can check out OpenFive/FiveM or whatever those multiplayer mods are that let you play on selfhosted GTAV servers, without Rockstar having a fuss...
Banned from their social club and all local saves wiped for good measure.
So... link?
It says in the Twitter thread that the source code was shared on a discord server for Xbox modding.
Haven't seen a rick roll in a while. Someone else click on it first. Lol
Lmao, it's a Rick roll on archive.org!
Lmao, it’s a Rick roll
TY for taking the bullet.

Called it. 🤣

Does this mean the hackers and cheaters will only get worse from here?
Unlikely, unless the source code for the anti-cheat system and the server have been leaked as well.
The source code for just the game isn't really going to help cheaters. Cheat makers typically don't care about the code, they'd look at either altering the game files, and/or the memory space where the game variables are stored. Having access to the source doesn't really help with that (well it may help them understand the compiled binaries a bit better, assuming they don't know them inside-out already - we're talking about a 10 year old game here).
But it may help modders for making mods and stuff. These mods may or may not be detected by the anti-cheat system though.
If Rockstar coded the game properly, the server won't allow the client to connect if any of the files have been modified, or if the anti-cheat system is spooked/borked. So assuming that's the case, any mods that may come out of this would be for offline gaming.
TL;DR: There's nothing the worry about, online gaming (against randoms) will continue to suck as usual, best to stick to offline play or playing with/against a trusted friend circle.
Wow. I used to use a sector editor on floppy disks to cheat on games way back in the eighties by looking for player stats and abilities and whatnot. I had no idea that modern day cheating would be so similar to the rudimentary stuff I was doing nearly forty years ago.
Well, software is software after all :P
It all becomes 1s and 0s at the end of the day lol
Yeah, computers have a lot more bells and whistles now, but the basics of how the system and the OS work haven't really changed that much, until you get out of native apps and into Electron and stuff. It's honestly remarkable how similar they are. Microsoft has a bunch of documentation about weird and quirky behavior they keep available for backwards compatibility, and most modern software developers take them up on that offer.
The core ideas remained the same, only difference is that they've got more roadblocks now which makes it considerably tricker (security measures in the OS + anti-cheat + encryption/DRM + server-side checks etc).
But modern day cheating goes beyond memory editing, for instance there are things like aimbots which can work at the GPU/driver level, or input automation/macros which work completely ouside of the game so normal anticheat measures may not prevent it.
I agree. Most points of entry are usually via injection, and you need to maneuver around the anti-cheat defense. Once the game code isn't in parity with the server, it's also likely to be rejected; this leak is likely older anyway, so probably a non-issue since it's not feature complete at this point.
It may help identify new points of entry for injection, but that'll likely get patched once exploited.

If support has been discontinued for GTA 5 and it no longer receives any updates then yes that's likely.
edit: depending on what is actually included in the "full source code", of course.
yes
OpenGTA5 would be so cool. To bad Rockstar is Rockstar.
And FiveM is already property of Rockstar.
But does it compile?
Are there any links floating around to download said code? The various tweets/articles seem to suggest it leaked in one Discord server, and nobody's providing a link to that Discord nor a mirror of the code.
I know there's nothing original about that but God damn I hate that a chat platform somehow became used to transfer info... We're overdue for a forum Renaissance.

Didn't we use things like irc in the past?
Yeah and it sucked for archival purposes then and it still sucks now and forums took its place and that's still where serious people go to talk about their field. Want a custom ROM for your phone? You're going on a forum. Want to know how to repair a specific thing on a car? You're going on a forum. Want to talk about your new patchwork passion? You're going on a forum.
But somehow there's some fields (crypto, some parts of gaming...) where people have forgotten that or simply have never spent time on forums to see the difference in quality of info having an ongoing discussion makes.
Just thinking about the fields and fields of car, electric, and plumbing forums all sitting out there with broken links and dead photobucket / imgur embedded pictures....
That's an issue with the cost of storage back then meaning that people needed external hosts, but these days if Reddit and Lemmy can self host then an equivalent forum could do it too.
You aren't "archiving" shit of this magnitude. Forums and hosts get the real letters and even the more permissive countries and hosts tend to have minimal issues taking action for these kinds of leaks. They are just as transient as chat rooms with a much bigger investment to run
Which leave "dark web" sites that very much do exist but don't get linked in news articles

Grand Theft Video (Game)
amazing to me that open source games usually sputter out quickly, yet communities will dissemble, reassemble and polish and finish games from established IPs
