<add source="5e51090f-0d39-4ec7-bac6-7b0bd720cfa7\weapons.meta">\common\data\ai\weapons.meta</add>

and save the assembly.xml in the archive,

then convert all the ZIP files back to OIV.

Install the OIV files, then, in OpenIV with Edit mode on,

-GO TO mods\x64c.rpf\anim\ingame\clip_combat@.rpf
-DELETE combat@death@from_writhe.ycd



in OPENIV with edit mode on, go to \mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\ and create a folder called "custom_maps" (without the quotes).

download https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/mapeditor-2-ymap-converter and open the Example DLC Pack ---> custom_maps folder and drag the dlc.rpf file into the mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\custom_maps folder with edit

mode on in OPENIV.

then, go to update --->update.rpf-->common---> data and extract dlclist.xml, and add a line under the last <Item>: this line is <Item>dlcpacks:/custom_maps/</Item> and save the changes, and drop the dlclist.xml

back into OpenIV where it was.

open the dlc.rpf file in OpenIV and download https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/vinewood-villa , getting the ymap no people version and dragging VinewoodVilla1.ymap.xml into the dlc.rpf file (there should be a

sample file called marina here already). It will autoconvert to the appropriate ymap format.

download https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/sandy-shores-redux-by-jaaag-v1-0-official and drop the ymap file inside into the dlc.rpf file where you dropped VinewoodVilla1.ymap.xml

Download https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/a-new-gta and install it. I don't know if the Update 1.2, 1.3 folders etc need to be installed but just to be safe I installed them in ascending order, manually, using

OpenIV in edit mode.

install https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/remove-reticle-crosshair ,  (NOTE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A RETICLE FOR NORMAL WEAPONS AND, MORE CRITICALLY, SNIPER RIFLES. This is normal)

and then download and extract https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/gta-v-weapon-editor

 extract your weapons.meta file from mods--> common.rpf -->data ---> ai . Open the meta file in the weapons editor you just downloaded, and move your mouse over "Accuracy Spread". Hold down shift and right click

that function. Type in "350" (without the quotes) to increase ranged weapon spread.

Press B to recompile the meta file and re-insert it where you found it using open IV in edit mode.


INSTALL https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gameconfig-xml-dilapidated (this last one is important or missions will NOT work!)

You're not using anything else from this package.
