When a modder creates a mod menu that can protect you from malicious modders and is more competent than Rockstar themselves, it really says something

[@bumpy86]

Except nobody created such a thing xD also they are not "modders" but builders and they build mod menus... most mod menus have a feature like this, for example you cant target a user with mod menu if you yourself use a mod menu... and so on... its a cheat on cheat protection cuz if you select insta kill on someone that has enabled immortality, it will break the game and either laggs you out of the server or something worse... its a mod protection, not player protection... and nobody did that to combat cheaters but to join them to fight together...

Bullshit.... You dont need to have a mod menu to find out the IP address of players in a session. Since its P2P connection and not a dedicated server, you can use wireshark to see those IP addresses. From there you can allocate those IP addresses to the ISP which owns them. But your twitch username? LOL firstly why would someone just point out your twitch username? Secondly, you can literally type in your gta player name into google and cross reference where that name pops up. So if you streamed a GTA game with your twitch account, its tracible and linked.

[@ThatsMySkill]

​@@contemporarymonk bro what you saying "bullshit" for? i said exactly what happened. i didnt claim to know how or why they did it. i was doing a drug run for my coke business and he just said it in the in game chat. maybe they are new to these mods (or what you mentioned) so its fun for them to spook people out with name dropping peoples twitch accounts and ISP. on top of that, every single one of my social media accounts have extremely unique names. you wont find one through the other. i have my steam, twitch and xbox account linked to my socialclub account and the only one that has the name he said is my twitch account. theres no cross referencing there. if you type my socialclub name into google you will find nothing. i even double checked to make sure my linked accounts are set to "me only". so no idea how he got it. and no i never streamed gta on my twitch. socialclub and gta online peer2peer are busted.

[@contemporarymonk]

Im saying bullshit that they hacked your twitch name. If you are so worried that your IP and ISP will be tracked and they can find you physically (but why? who are you and why bother? for what gain are they doing this criminal act?) then just spoof your IP, but better spoof your MAC address since that contains a lot more info about your machine than your IP.

[@phlooke]

I don't think you got to experience the absolute mayhem on not only GTA5, but every Call of Duty game on Xbox 360...especially when their disc drives inside the Xbox 360 consoles first had their security disc drive firmware bypassed (on all brands or models of the various SATA disc drives in different generations of the 360 consoles and flashed to be able to play any "back-up" copy of a 360 game after burning it to a blank Dual-Layer DVD and being able to play the games on Xbox live for over 4 straight years and even got to play some hugely popular games literally weeks before they released in stores and then I knew it was only a matter of time before they did a mass ban wave since I hadn't quite thought about Xbox Achievements popping and they show the exact date and time you unlocked them (which would easily show from a quick google search that many achievements had been unlocked weeks and even months before their release date...until the ban wave finally came through and bricked (hardware banned) millions of consoles from being able to connect to Xbox Live at all, not even to watch a youtube video. But this wasn't even the culprit of the mod menu's, it was all the JTAG'd 360 consoles that had absurd amounts of power as at that time I think Battlefield was one of the very few if not only game to use dedicated online multiplayer servers for console players, so you could rent and host your own public/private servers (as opposed to Call of Duty where your game would freeze until it finished migrating hosts by having a player become the host of a lobby, and then when they left the game it would find a new player with decent internet speed and transferred the host to someone else.....which more or less was how the modding community could force connect you into any lobby as they had admin privileges and could see the IP address of whoever was in the same game as they were, if they were the host. Ill never forget pre-ordering both COD:MW2 and MW3 on the 360 so we could go to gamestop at midnight to pick up our copy and game all night long, little did we know that within less than a week after either MW2/MW3 was released...I went to play hardcore TDM and somehow the JTAG 360 community were able to bypass you joining a public match, and instead auto connect you to their private "infected" lobbys which literally unlocked EVERY SINGLE WEAPON CAMO (as well as max prestige all the weapons)/EMBLEM/CALLSIGNS.... and even turned my Level 38 account to now permanently be Level 55 @ Prestige Level 10 within milliseconds of them force connecting me into their custom private "infected lobby" running on their almighty JTAG'd 360 console. I had never been so amazed and angry at the same time, as it basically ruined any chances of me being able to grind to unlock emblems and camos and prestige levels as anyone who was forced connected to those "Infected Lobbies" would immediately have anything and everything that could be unlocked and earned from "normally" playing hundreds of hours of COD, all given to you whether or not you wanted it or not. So not even a week or 2 after MW3 released to the public was I now stuck at Prestige 10 Lvl 55 with every single Gold Diamond plated camos for every single weapon in the game. But the even wilder part was once they connected you to their infected lobbies it would literally give you wallhacks/soeed hacks/ and had the wildest looking game breaking exploits all displaying on ALL ONLINE public matchmaking multiplayer modes...the ONLY way to remove yourself from having every advantage/exploit/etc was to completely unplug the power from your Xbox 360...otherwise you could technically just leave your Xbox on for days and weeks at a time to continue using their "advertised service". which i later found out they were just mass doing this to players to give them a taste of having their own custom mod menu that was completely undetectable and unbannable since it was being pushed out from their JTAG console acting as a legitimate server side game feature. (And nobody was safe from this since I had just received 2 of my Elite 360's back from Microsoft after 2 weeks for them to permanently fix the RRoD issue... and I had even received both fixed consoles with the most up to date Motherboard and chipset that added HDMI ports to the back of the original PHAT black Elite consoles with the 120GB hard drives on the very top. Then everything became the wild west with modded 360s running games downloaded to an external USB hard drive, without requiring any physical disc to be in the drive and all the wild mod menus on GTA5 where you'd accidentally receive like 150,000,000,000 bucks falling from the sky even if you had absolutely no involvement or knowledge of what was happening.

[@bird9188]

I find it kind of weird that cheaters/hackers in gta 5 are called modders, because modding and cheating is not exactly the same thing

[@KnightmareUSA]

If you lump them all together, that gives you reasoning to take them all down. Any changes to the game will not be tolerated. Despite the early GTA games encouraging it by having cheat codes built in

[@fabiosoares7660]

Yea right? Cheat was created in GTA SA and cheat is a code that you can enable in story mode to get godmode for example, but that code is authorized in story mode, modding is a completely different thing

[@triplebb9809]

@@KnightmareUSAI don't understand the problem that game companies like Nintendo or Rockstar have with modding. It's literally free content. Skyrim is still alive, mostly because of the modding community. Just give us an official mod interface (Not a cheating one, but for community mods) and restrict it's usage to special mod lobbies, where your profile is basically frozen, so anything you do there doesn't affect your main profile.

[@KnightmareUSA]

They want control. No mods unless they go through the Rockstar filter. The wrong mods shown in the media could harm reputation, and worse, they aren't making money out of any of it. Companies believe the best mods are potential dlc that should not be free. Comparing to Skyrim,I think for a franchise as large as gta, free content will only be on the cards if there's a path to entice you to purchase much more. The core of the company has evolved from a tiny 1980s company in dundee (dma design aka rockstar north) to a US giant in nyc in which they must keep their shareholders happy. They've taken over FiveM too,which I believe was an unofficial mod friendly alternative to GTA online. The likely outcome of that will be so they can monetise it or slowly and quietly shut it down@@triplebb9809

Whilst I do admit to being apart of the MODDER problem, I use mods to protect not only myself, but the other players that are in my lobby to the best that I can. If there is a toxic MODDER going around the lobby perma off radar killing people, they will be removed from my lobby. If a MODDER is using a godmode character to kill people, they will be removed from my lobby. If a MODDER is explode looping the lobby I am in, they will be removed. If a MODDER uses perma off the radar so that they can mind their own business and not have to use godmode, I let them stay, if they use a godmode character to not get killed by griefers, as long as they do not kill that player I let that MODDER stay. Basically when a MODDER is in a lobby that I have session host in, I am not not only judge and jury, I am the Judge, Jury AND EXECUTIONER! In other words, u use mods to help people, I will praise you. Use the mods that you have to mess with the lobby, cya. If u use ur mods to troll ur friends in my lobby, I will get you to prove that ur friends. If you have proof that ur friends but I deem it insufficient evidence I will ask you both kindly to stop it or do it in a different lobby or get more evidence. If your a KZbinr and you troll someone and I question you but you message me on social club saying that ur a KZbinr and ur recording a video were u troll with mods but then reward the person u troll if they’re a good sport about it, u can stay but with limitations

Replace every mention of Mod or Modder with Cheat and Cheater. Then it would be correct since Modding is too broad of a term to use in this context and actually harms modding by comparing all mods to cheats. Cheats/Hacks and Client-Side mods are different but you seem to be confusing the 2 since single-player/clients mods aren't the same as multiplayer cheats and hacks but using the words mod menu or modder freely when cheat menu or cheater is a better term already in use confuses me
