What is gta-5-mod-menu?

This project is an external tool that adds cheat style features to the single player mode of the game Grand Theft Auto V on Windows. It works by reading and changing the game's memory while it runs, rather than by injecting code into the game itself, and it displays its options through an on screen overlay built with a library called ImGui. Once running, the tool is opened in game with a keyboard shortcut and offers a menu of features aimed at single player play. These include full invincibility, unlimited ammunition, a vehicle spawner with more than three hundred vehicles to choose from, instant teleportation to any point on the map, control over in game weather, the ability to set or clear your wanted level, and control over how fast time passes. The interface itself can be customized with different visual themes and adjustable transparency. According to the README, it is built to have a small effect on frame rate, listing impact figures under one percent on newer graphics cards and around two percent on older ones. It requires a Windows 10 or 11 PC with a DirectX 11 compatible graphics card and at least 4 gigabytes of RAM, and must be run as Administrator alongside GTA V running in story mode. The author notes that some antivirus programs may incorrectly flag the tool as malicious because of the memory reading techniques it uses, which are shared by many legitimate applications. The tool is written in C++17 and uses the ImGui library for its overlay along with DirectX 11 and the Windows API for interacting with the game process. It is released under the MIT license. The README states clearly that the project is intended for educational purposes only, and warns that using it in GTA Online, the multiplayer mode, may violate the game publisher's terms of service.
