GTA V Enhanced Compatibility Patcher for OpenIV

Introduction
This script is an essential utility for anyone using the new Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. Many popular tools, including the current version of OpenIV, have not yet been updated to recognize the new game executable, GTA5 Enhanced.exe. They still search for the original GTA5.exe, causing compatibility issues.
This patcher solves the problem automatically. It configures your existing OpenIV installation to correctly locate your official Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced game folder and creates the necessary files to ensure full compatibility until OpenIV is officially updated.
Simply run this script once, and you'll be ready to mod the new version of the game without any manual file editing.

Features
• Seamless OpenIV Integration: Automatically updates OpenIV's settings to correctly identify the path to your official Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced installation.
• Essential Compatibility Fix: Creates a copy of the official GTA5 Enhanced.exe and renames it to GTA5.exe. This workaround is important for making the game recognizable to OpenIV.
• OIV Auto-Installer Ready: Generates an empty OpenIV.asi file, allowing installing .oiv files without need of using original OpenIV.asi. (See the important note below for full mods folder activation).
• User-Friendly: A simple folder selection dialog makes the process quick and easy. No manual editing of XML files is required.
• Safe and Reliable: Includes error checking to guide you through the process and only makes the necessary changes to get you up and running.

Requirements
Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced: You must have this version of the game installed.
OpenIV: You must have OpenIV installed. It is important that you have run OpenIV at least once before using this patcher so its configuration file exists.

How to Use
1. Download: Download the .bat file from this page.
2. Run the Script: Double-click the .bat file to start the process.
3. Select Your Game Folder: When the folder selection dialog appears, navigate to and select your main Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced game directory (the one containing GTA5 Enhanced.exe).
4. Process Complete: The script will perform all necessary actions in seconds. Once it displays the "All operations completed successfully!" message, you can close the window.

Important: Enabling the 'mods' Folder
This script prepares OpenIV to see your game, but to make the famous "mods" folder work correctly with this new version of GTA V, one more step is required.
You must download and install the OpenRPF.asi loader. This file is required to redirect the game to load assets from your "mods" folder instead of the original game files.
• Download Link: OpenRPF.asi for GTA V Enhanced
Place the downloaded OpenRPF.asi file into your main Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced directory (the same folder where GTA5 Enhanced.exe is located).

Critical Post-Installation Steps
After running this patcher, it is very important that you DO NOT take the following actions:
• Do NOT install the original OpenIV.asi or other files from the OpenIV ASI Manager. This patcher provides the necessary files for compatibility. Installing the original files will break the fix.
• Do NOT delete the created GTA5.exe or the blank OpenIV.asi file. The blank OpenIV.asi acts as a "bait" file that tricks OpenIV into enabling the installation of .oiv packages into the 'mods' folder. The game itself does not see or react to this blank file. The duplicate GTA5.exe is required for OpenIV to detect the game.
• Do NOT install GTA 5 Legacy mods, including .oiv files, into GTA 5 Enhanced.
This will completely break the game, always check compatibility with Enhanced version of the game for every mod you want to install.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter an error, please read the message in the command prompt. Here are some common issues:
• "ERROR: No folder was selected."You clicked "Cancel" or closed the folder selection dialog. Please run the script again and select your main game folder.
• "ERROR: OpenIV settings file not found..."You need to run OpenIV at least once to create its settings file. Please open and then close OpenIV, then run this script again.
• "ERROR: 'GTA5 Enhanced.exe' was not found..."You selected the wrong folder. Make sure you are selecting the main game directory that contains the official GTA5 Enhanced.exe file.
• "ERROR: Failed to create 'GTA5.exe' or 'OpenIV.asi'..."The script lacks permission to create files in your game directory. Please right-click the .bat file and select "Run as administrator".
