Modifying online multiplayer - which OpenIV's developers insist they never did, nor enabled - is still against Rockstar and Take-Two's policies.Ĭlarification: Speaking to Motherboard, Yuriy Krivoruchko, OpenIV’s developer, said he had never developed mods for Grand Theft Auto Online but conceded that some parts of the toolkit could be used by others to mod that portion of Grand Theft Auto 5. One time I downloaded Max Payne 3, I looked at OpenIV and found the body textures of the female characters of GTA V Online with twice the resolution used in GTA V, I made some corrections in the tone of the skin to beat according to the original GTA V just made the black and white maybe make the other ethnicities available in the game Whilst It. The original cease-and-desist letter had alleged OpenIV allowed "third parties to defeat security features of (Take-Two's) software and modify that software in violation (of) Take-Two's rights." OpenIV has been in use for nearly 10 years and is responsible for most of the modding seen for Grand Theft Auto 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5. That came after a week in which furious PC gamers staged an online protest, one component of which was bombarding Grand Theft Auto 5's Steam marketplace listing with negative reviews. Rockstar, on Friday, stepped in with a statement saying it "believes in reasonable fan creativity," and supports creators who "showcase their passion for our games." On Friday, the studio/publisher said it went to its corporate parent and secured an agreement that Take-Two wouldn't take legal action against Rockstar-made PC games, provided they follow certain rules. Take-Two owns Rockstar Games, which makes Grand Theft Auto (and Max Payne 3, which OpenIV can also mod). It’s now build 907 of version 2.9, implementing "bug fixes and small improvements." By itself that isn't much of a development, except that OpenIV's makers had taken the toolkit offline on June 14, after receiving what they said was a cease-and-desist demand from Take-Two's legal representatives on June 5. OpenIV got a small update, notes PC Gameer. It's another sign that Take-Two is backing away from a hard-line stance on modding. The modding toolkit at the center of a dispute between its creators and Take-Two Interactive, which roiled the Grand Theft Auto PC community over the past two weeks, has received an update and is being distributed.
