Welcome to the official GTA Trilogy Chaos Mod repository!
This repository, together with this README, is still very much WIP.
Seeing as I'm pretty burnt out on this project I've decided to put it on hiatus for the time being.
What I mean by that is that it's on hiatus from my side, meaning that PRs will still be accepted.
Doing this all on my own is pretty taxing and I have other, more important (and interesting) things to do and worry about.
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 tool).
It started off as a mod for San Andreas, which is the one that is mainly supported right now.
However, there is already basic support for Vice City and III implemented. It will take longer to bring all (if possible) custom effects over, and also implement their corresponding ingame cheats though.
GTA San Andreas: v1.0 US
GTA Vice City: v1.0 US
GTA III: v1.0 US
So far only San Andreas is officially supported.
Vice City and III have some sort of basic support in already, but the GUI Tool doesn't support them yet.
There's a handy thread over on the GTA Forums that has downgraders vor GTA III, Vice City and even San Andreas.

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. (So the chaos_mod folder, the scripts folder and the .exe)
The .exe can be anywhere you want, as long as it has write permissions since it automatically saves the settings in a file called config.cfg in the same directory.
You also need to have .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed.
Simple:
- Start the game
- Launch the corresponding
Trilogy Chaos Mod.exe - Now you have 2 options:
- Either press
Auto-Startin the GUI, which will make it wait for you starting a new game and skipping the first cutscene (just like the autosplitter when doing a speedrun) - Or you just press
Startright away
- Either press
- Suffer
Of course! Here's a spreadsheet that has all of them!
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.
In the Twitch tab you have to fill out the Channel, Username and OAuth Token fields.
Channel: The channel you want to have the voting in
Username: The username of the account to do the voting from (can be your own, can be a channel moderator)
OAuth Token: An OAuth Token for the specified username (Can be generated here)
Polls are still very experimental due to Twitch not offering a decent-- err, an API at all, to utilize them.
You have to be an Affiliate or Partner to be able to use this feature!
SirStendec was kind enough to provide a FrankerFaceZ Add-On that provides access to the polls functionality.
First make sure to enable Use Twitch Polls For Votes in the Settings tab.
To use it, first you need to install FrankerFaceZ in your browser.
Navigate to your dashboard and open the FrankerFaceZ control center (upside-down FrankerZ icon in the top right next to your user avatar).
Then head into Add-Ons, scroll down until you see Add Unlisted..., type in poll-shim and click Add.
Afterwards, make sure to install said Add-On.
Now head into the Poll-Shim menu to the left (or click on Settings after installing it).
Make sure Enable Poll-Shim is checked and enter any passphrase into the Passphrase field.
The passphrase you have entered also needs to be put into the GTA Trilogy Chaos Mod program.
Also make sure to have your dashboard open (or, optionally, after doing this setup, a popout chat from your channel will work, too).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
You need to have a valid Twitch setup (Channel, Username, OAuth Token) and it needs to be connected for polls to work!
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.
It could be that it is pretty much impossible to implement, or that I just won't consider working on it because there are already effects that are similar to it though, so keep that in mind.
Right back at you 😉
You don't have to, but it'd be amazing if you could tag your streams with #chaos or something similar, maybe even tweet it out with the #GTA_Chaos_Mod hashtag.
I wouldn't mind potentially dropping by and seeing you guys suffer with the mod 😁
There's a Discord server for asking smaller questions in case they weren't answered by this guide:
In case you need help or want to easily stay up to date on what's happening, make sure to join it.
(It's my personal Discord but it has a dedicated Chaos Mod channel)
Discord link has been disabled until further notice due to the ongoing hiatus of this project.
