How to Install GTA 5 Glock Mod

  • February 29, 2024

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to install an awesome animated Glock mod for GTA 5. The installation process is quick and easy.

Step 1: Download the Mod

Start by downloading the latest version of the Max Payne 3 Glock mod. You will find three essential files in the download file such as a readme text file, a Glock OIV package, and an icon folder. Make sure you have these files ready before proceeding.

Step 2: Prepare OpenIV

  • To begin the installation process, you’d need to have the OpenIV archive manager. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can download it from here.
  • Once OpenIV is running, make sure to enable “Edit Mode” within the program.

Step 3: Install the Glock Mod

Now, take the Glock OIV file and simply drag it into OpenIV. To complete the installation, follow these steps:

  • Click on the ‘Install’ button.
  • Choose the “mods” folder as the installation location.
  • Click on the ‘Install Confirm Installation’ tab.

Step 4: Place the Icon Folder’s Content

Next, let’s replace the icon for the Glock mod. Refer to the readme file from the downloaded mod for accurate guidance.
  • Go to the “mods” folder within OpenIV.
  • Navigate to “update/update.rpf/x64/data/cdimages”.
  • Open the “scaleform_generic.rpf” file.
  • Look for a file called “HUD.ytd” within this directory.

Step 5: Locate the Icon and Replace

  • Inside the “HUD.ytd” file, you will find several images.
  • The one we are looking for is labeled “weapons_all”. You can also identify it by its appearance.
  • After that, open the icon folder from the Glock mod’s downloaded file.
  • Drag and drop the icon file into OpenIV to replace the existing one. You’ll notice the new icon in place of the old one.

Step 6: Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues locating the “update” and “update.rpf” folders in your “mods” folder within OpenIV, follow these additional steps:

  • Disable “Edit Mode” in OpenIV.
  • Exit the “mods” folder and find the “update” folder.
  • Open “update” and follow the path: “update.rpf/x64/data/cdimages”.

To ensure the pathway appears in your “mods” folder without causing issues, enable “Edit Mode” after completing the steps above.

Step 7: Save and Play the Modded GTA V

Once you’ve replaced the icon successfully, make sure to save your changes within OpenIV. Launch GTA 5 and see how it looks in-game. You can also customize your first-person aim settings to match your preferences in the GTA 5 settings menu.
