[SA/Help] Is there a limit on how many .asi or .cleo (.dll) the game can load?

05 Ago 2021, 04:54

I've recently seen this with my modded gta_sa that if i reach a certain number of .asi plugins the game will just stop launching, like at all . No Crash, no "not responding", nothing.

So i recently also got a problem in which Audio is screwed in my GTA, meaning that only at certain angles i can hear Gun Shots and Car Engine sounds, I tried removing every possible Cleo Sound script and some that i suspected in .asi but it's still the same. This helped me find that all the mods that didn't work before work now because I've removed some other mods and made "some space?" i really think that it's just incompatibility between Mods but I've also started to think that there's a limit on the engine as to how many .dlls it can load. That also got me thinking if there's a way to read the .asi plugins code in IDA or something to see if they replace the same memory address or something. I'm completely n00b in that regard so it maybe something that's completely irrelevant.

But for now i just wanted to know if there's a limit on how many .dll can be loaded by the loaders (asi or cleo).

Have you guys tried installing those mods with Modloader? take a look at Junior_Djjr's Modloader tutorial. ASI mods can be safely placed inside Modloader, while the INI files must go in the main directory.

But what does it mean precisely by ''.asi mod that needs additional files"? Are.ini additional files? Are .ifp additional files too and if so, it means I have to put it into gta3.img? Nor it's better using modloader for that. So what are those additional files precisely the .asi that could come with? I tried putting the .ini into the main directory but the .asi inside the modloader just doesn't find his .ini. Need further help please. I'm at the pinnacle of modding my GTA SA right now lol, it's been 12 years haha -v-'

Just checked this thread after a year and almost a half.
The audio bug I mentioned here was because of too many Cleo Scripts, mainly I was using the Myths Maker mod by nadalao which at that time was not properly optimized and was creating a lot of threads which caused those audio problems.

Many .asi plguins/mods are not compatible with ModLoader, So I just like to keep them next to the .exe which also helps in keeping and eye on what you have installed without having to poke into the folders of modloader.

.asi is just a renamed .dll file. The .ini that comes with them are the config files of them, .ifp are animation sequence files that are only used on Renderware (afaik). If you're using Modloader then adding the ifp in modloader is fine but many .asi plugins simply won't work within ModLoader so I recommend insalling them in the parent directory (Where the gta_sa.exe is).
