## Introduction

A mod menu for Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City & San Andreas which allows a large set of modifications/cheats to be applied enabling a much more easier & amusing gameplay. This is **NOT** intended for use in multiplayer, I won't be responsible for any form of bans. Use it at your own risk!

Get stable binaries from [here](https://github.com/user-grinch/Cheat-Menu/releases). Beta binaries are available at the discord server.

## Installation
Only these versions of the game is supported. I highly recommand installing the menu on a fresh, non-modded game first.
- GTA SA v1.0 US Hoodlum 
- GTA VC v1.0 EN
- GTA III v1.0 EN

If you have those mentioned versions installed follow the steps below,
1. Install [DirectX9](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35), [Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 x86](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe) & [Asi loader](https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases).
2. Download [**CheatMenuSA/VC/III.7z**](https://github.com/user-grinch/Cheat-Menu/releases) and extract everything in game root directory. The **CheatMenu** folder & **.asi** file must be placed in the same place.
3. Install [SilentPatch](https://gtaforums.com/topic/669045-silentpatch/) (For GTA III don't install the ddraw.dll component)

### For III & VC
3. Install [D3D8to9 wrapper](https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases). Sometimes the asi loader blocks **d3d8.dll** file. Just delete the **Globals.ini** file and you should be good to go.

Be sure to check [here](https://github.com/user-grinch/Cheat-Menu/issues/48) to know about incompatibilities with other mods.

## Things to do on crash
1. Delete the `CheatMenu/json/config.json` file and try again.
2. If it's happening after installing a recent mod try removing it. A list of incompatibile mods are [here](https://github.com/user-grinch/Cheat-Menu/issues/48).
3. Try on a fresh installation of the game.
4. If still doesn't fix your issue, go ahead and report it.

### Crash reports/ Bug reports
Install [Crash info](https://www.mixmods.com.br/2021/06/crashinfo.html) & reproduce your crash. When reporting the crash upload the crashinfo logfile with it. Explain how to reproduce the crash in details. Also include,
- Game version
- Menu version
- List of mods installed

You can either open a issue here or directly contact me on discord (Recommended).

## How to add ___ to CheatMenu (SA Only)

*Be careful about editing 'json' files, especially commas! Check [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON)*

### Player Skins (Recommended)
*If you just want more player skins without much hassel use this*

1. Install [Modloader](https://github.com/thelink2012/modloader/releases/tag/v0.3.7).
2. Get your skin **.dff** & **.txd** files and put them inside *modloader\Custom Skins\* directory.
3. Rename your **dff** & **txd** filenames to less than **8** characters. Having more than **8** characters will **crash** your game.
**Note:** After installing, don't rename or delete files while your game is running. It'll crash!
