people can mod ps3 too. i've seen people on team fortress 2 with noclip and unlimited health. you have to mod your actual console though.

I'm at the point now where I think R* wont fix it to drive more buisiness towards mp3 by making gtaiv online unplayable. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if R* themselves released this new batch of super annoying mods .

That actually makes sense.

[NightTimePaul]

I'm just thinking about the last time I remember r* coming to play tbogt for a social club event.

Magically all the mods got patched a day or two before hand so they could have a nice clean game.

Next day it was back to the usual crape.except now the modders were in gtaiv original also.

Good work rockstar games. (Slow clap).............................

Ooooh I am sooooo excited to buy mp3 from them zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And whoever released these new script mode is a total winner too. High five brosef you totally rule way to.go!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay.

I don't really care if players want to run around like indestructible small gods with fire from their eyes and rockets from their fingertips spawning a multitude of pretty vehicles and helicopters or whatever - that's fine!

What pisses me off is when they go and freeze a game in tbogt freemode! wtf is that? **** right off you little hateful tiny testicled dweebs have you nothing better to do!?

im glad this doesn't happen on ps3 because it would totally spoil the game.

[NightTimePaul]

Boring talentless game ruining modders

Could we state that the most successful platform for GrandTheftAuto IV has been, and currently is the PS3?

Yes imho. Last time I joined a free roam on the Xbox I had to switch off the console. The modders made it freeze.

Sounds like it!

[Reach1995]

I actually encountered a modder and just for fun I just sent him a message saying "Smile, I'm filming!"


He quit like the little ***** most of these modders are.

I came in here just to say this

never happens on ps3.

this was happening only a few months after this game was released (4 to 5 months) where people where modding like crazy on xbox

this is not a new issue. technically xbox has two GTAs that are unplayable.

one time I was in lost and damned FM on xbox in the club protection mode and the guy was in an invisible flying vehicle and he could do a driveby with rpgs. SMH

I saw someone warp to me. In a zigzag running motion, I dodged the grenades. The funny part was when I took cover in a subway station at the airport. The modder tried to warp towards me, but got on the wall instead.

I would think that all MS has to do is run a scan on installed game differences. Unfortunately, they probably just do not care. They used to be big on this kind of stuff. I guess they are lacking now.

This obviously happens a lot on Xbox, but never on PS3. Anyone able to explain, how these modders do all this? I've only witnessed something like it, once on Call of Duty, and it was horrible.

The reason is happens much more often on the Xbox is because the built in Operating System is Windows. Grand Theft Auto IV has been out for some time, and the source code is easy to manipulate. The PS3 runs a modified version of Linux, which disallows modding. But the Linux Block can be bypassed through jail breaking your console.

The game's are virtually the same for 360 and PS3. All of these script mods such as flying cars, multi colored explosions, rocket shooting guns, ect. are just simple lines of code placed inside of the Game's core files. Most of the modifications regarding new colors, weather, weapon damage tables and such are in the data files.

If you want to stop a specific modder, report the modder, but that doesn't mean more will pop up. I host modded lobbies on both platforms, and it's all about who is modding. Some people are nice, some people are mixed and some are just rude in general.
