@gtavjamal Would you able to do me a solid? I have a douche troll here who says it's impossible to run dlc outside of dlcpacks even though that's how i do it and have been doing it for years. Would you be able to test my tool for me?

Actually you don't need to replace your existing dlclist.xml. Just create a folder called DLC off the root, put one addon you don't have already installed, and run the tool. Then take that single line it created, copy it into your existing dlclist.xml and let me know if works. If you use Steam it should work.

One non-douche user, a very nice person, couldn't get it to work as well, but didn't make up BS that it was impossible. So possibly it doesn't work for all Platform Versions, or might be OpenIV version related. Or a pirated game?

@JoyLucien thank you

To answer @JoyLucien and for users in general:
If you want to focus on .dll scripts in your Scripts (scripts) folder, just type in "scripts\" or "Scripts\" in the white search box at the very top right of the tool. This will allow you to see which are user installed versus vanilla game dlls. The backslash will ensure you are in the scripts folder. Most users will not know this, but you can have subfolders in your scripts folders and they will be loaded. This tool is recursive so it will include subfolders as well. Personally, I separate my scripts from "enablers" such as lemonui and the original ifruitaddon, nativeui, naudio etc. Subfolders allow you to organized your scripts as well.

Of course most users will just use the standard scripts folder, so by default those dlls will already be at the bottom of the list in this tool.

PRO TIP: To manually stop a script from running you need to change the extension. If you rename a script but leave the extension as .dll it will still load. It might not work due to dependencies, but it will still be loaded.

@gtavjamal Im glad brother.

@ALEXSYS Thank you. I'm sorry the dlclist didn't work for you - im completely puzzled as to why!

@gtavjamal thanks. glad it helps

@JoyLucien Added an ini file which will also save your path. The path is to GTA5.exe location.

@JoyLucien If you watch the video, the one using the dot net framework i posted above in the comments, you'll see I'm all set - it does everything I need. Don't need, don't want LML or other novice tools.

Now for this tool, done as a PS script, it was created to be simple and most importantly Open Source. This allows it to be customized.

With respect to saving paths, I prefer to give the user the flexibility to select each time because many users have multiple GTAV s installed such as LCPP, 5real/LARevo, Sunshine Dream, and of course both Legacy and Enhanced etc. Personally, I try to minimize duplication by using symbolic links and other enablers, however I do now have multiple configurations given I have tons of storage space. I can switch from one to the other effortlessly and my dlc and my scripts are shared to avoid duplication and for version control.

Finally, this shouldn't be a pissing contest. Variety is good for the community and nobody is forced to use any tools or scripts or mods.. I will never use LML or similar tools. Thankfully I can create my own and prefer my own, but that's just me.

Powershell is an easy way to quickly deploy tools but obviously there are more powerful tools and programming languages. However that wasn't my objective.

@JoyLucien I don't know anything about LML but there is definitely a need for noobs. I prefer to write my own tools because they meet my requirements which might be very different from others. I have my own tool which I would love to share but it's based on my mod configuration which is highly personalized.
