Welcome to the official GTA Trilogy Chaos Mod: Reborn repository!
This repository, together with this README, is still very much WIP.
The mod had some issues and was my first C++ project, thus I did not have a lot of experience on how to best do a lot of things right.
The "Reborn" project aims to fix this by pretty much rewriting the majority of the mod from scratch. (except code for drawing effects and a few other things)
It will also be easier for interested developers to contribute to the project be it with their own effects or with help on the general codebase.
Check out the CONTRIBUTING file for more information.
Similar to the old Vice City Chaos% mod by Lightnat0r, it activates effects in the corresponding game every X seconds / minutes (cooldown can be defined in the GUI).
This mod Only Support GTA San-Andreas for now.
GTA San Andreas: v1.0 US
There's a San Andreas downgrader by gamerzworld in the GTAForums here:

I highly recommend using the Ultimate ASI Loader by ThirteenAG purely due to the fact that it supports saving CrashDumps.
You can find the latest release here: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases/latest
Download the Ultimate-ASI-Loader.zip file (not the _x64.zip one)
It will contain a file called dinput8.dll - move the file to your GTA directory.
Now rename it to vorbisFile.dll and replace the original.
(Good for people that use the dinput8.dll mouse fix. Also the only way I personally got the ASI Loader to work)
Silent's ASI Loader works as well, but if you want to open an issue with some crashes I'll be closing any that do not have crash dumps.
Depending on which ASI Loader you picked, the files differ in size a bit:
vorbisFile.dll(Ultimate ASI Loader): 2,102KB / 2,152,448 bytesvorbisFile.dll(Silent's ASI Loader): 53KB / 53,760 bytes
The reason why the Ultimate ASI Loader is WAY BIGGER in size is because it supports more than just the original vorbisFile.dll, comes with an additional windowed mode feature, a "d3d8 to d3d9" pseudo-driver and a crash handler.
If you don't need any of that, Silent's ASI Loader will be all you need.
Head on over to the the Releases tab or click here.
Installation is as simple as installing an ASI Loader (see previous section) and copying all the files into your game directory.
To Work with My Custom Effect, you need to download my NodeJS Websocket Server here and run it.
Simple:
- Start the game
- Run NodeJS Websocket Server
You are most likely missing the DirectX 9 runtime.
Please download it from here and then try starting the game again:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
If that doesn't fix it then make sure you have the bass.dll in your game directory.
It comes bundled with the Chaos Mod archive you downloaded.
Of course! Here's a spreadsheet that has all of them! (Old)
It seems that mouse fixes such as dinput8.dll can cause issues with this (and maybe other) effects.
If you're playing modded already I highly recommend using SilentPatch instead seeing as it also includes a mouse fix.
Hold down Left CTRL when hovering over the Load Game option in the menu.
Inside a sub-directory called chaos_mod in your corresponding GTA User Files folder.
Refer to the NodeJS Websocket Server here.
Great! Create an issue with the .log and .dmp files from the CrashDumps folder. (Best to archive them into a .zip file or similar)
Also great! Feel free to create an issue with that as well, best to explain what it should do in detail.
If you're lucky someone might be able to implement it and contribute it to the mod!
Or better yet: Create the effect yourself and do a pull request!
That way you are helping with making the mod even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it).
