An experimental GTA 5 multiplayer mod.

CakeMP

CakeMP was a GTA 5 multiplayer mod. It originally started as a rewrite for a different multiplayer mod, but forked out into its own open source variation instead. Older names include: Strawberry Pie & quinMP.

There is currently no publicly available download, but you are free to clone this repository and build it yourself.

Features

As this project had only been in development for a few weeks, there isn't very much to it right now. These are the features that are currently implemented:

• Cross-platform dedicated server.
• Client.
• Player movement synchronization.
• Fast entity streaming.
• A simple chat.
• Rockstar-like user interface.

Running

CakeMP currently works as a .asi mod, and depends on ScriptHookV. So to run this mod, you will need to have the ASI loader as dinput8.dll, ScriptHookV itself as ScriptHookV.dll, and the mod's ASI file all in the GTA 5 game folder. This has been tested on the Steam build as well as the Warehouse build.

It will generate a logfile which you can see the mod's events in, in case something breaks. It will also attempt to load a .ini file for reading your nickname and quick-connect server. (F3 connects to this, and F4 disconnects.) It's not required however, and you can still connect to any server by using the in-game menu.

The server shouldn't require any special configuration at this point in time.

Building

Building the client is done using Visual Studio 2017.

Building the server can be done on Linux using make, or on Windows with Visual Studio. This is handled via cmake. On Linux you will need to have the ENet library installed (eg. on Debian, the package is libenet-dev), and on Windows you will need to locate the library manually.

Contributing

Whether this mod will have its development continued is questionable, so feel free to fork this repository and improve on the project.

Switch everything over to scratch2

STL is slow as hell. Use scratch2 instead.
