GTA V Story — Minigame guide

A minigame of the TikForge mod for GTA V Legacy: your live's audience moves the campaign missions forward or back.

GTA V Story is the GTA V campaign (69 missions, Prologue included, like the game's own completion count) driven by your audience: with your live's gifts, follows and likes the Advance mission and Go back a mission actions move the story forward or back, and the game really loads the chosen mission. The number shown is how many missions have been done: 0 means you are playing the Prologue, 69 means the story is finished. There are no wins: all that matters is how far you got.

Requirements

• GTA V Legacy for PC, version 1.0.3889. With any other version Story switches itself off and says so on screen (the game's internal indexes change with every Rockstar update). Not the Enhanced edition, not GTA Online and not consoles.
• The TikForge mod for GTA V with Script Hook V and ScriptHookVDotNet, in a version that includes Story (2.6 or later). It is the same mod as Mount Chiliad: the app installs and updates it, nothing to download separately.
• The TikForge app open and connected (signed in, live connected): it carries the live's actions to the game and the mission number to the overlay.
• A savegame with the story finished: this is the most important requirement. The game can only replay missions that are already completed, and Story uses exactly that mechanism (the Replay Mission of the pause menu). Check: pause → Replay Mission must list the Prologue and the other missions. If the Prologue is not there, Story does not start.
• Recommended: a dedicated profile or savegame, Autosave OFF (Settings → Save) and other mods that touch missions or the menu turned off (Gameriya, ChaosMod, Menyoo, trainers).

How to start

With GTA V open in offline Story mode and the TikForge app connected:

1. Open the mod menu: F9 or F10, whichever is set in the mod settings.
2. Go to Minigames → Story → Start / stop Story. The menu closes by itself.
3. Story starts from the Prologue (0/69). The game freezes and the screen goes black while it loads the mission: about 15 seconds, with the loading icon at the bottom right. That is normal: do not press anything. To protect the loading, Stop is ignored for the first 20 seconds.
4. To stop Story use the same menu entry: the mission already running ends by itself and then the game goes back to free roam.

The same submenu holds Check the savegame, which changes nothing and writes to the log which of the 69 missions are completed, and the Fast mission change switch (see below).

Actions and Events

In the app, Actions and Events tab, the game to pick is Storia GTA V (the one that used to be called “GTA V” is now Monte Chiliad). The usual scheme applies: new action → game Storia GTA V → action → event (gift, follow, like…) in the selected profile. Up to 5 actions in the same row.

The Amount is how many missions to move: 1 to 69. The counter never leaves 0 (Prologue) and 69 (story finished). Besides these two actions Story has all the others from Mount Chiliad (the same catalogue of 79: vehicles, wanted level, weather, enemies…), listed in the Mount Chiliad Run guide. If Story is not started, Advance and Go back do nothing and the game says so on screen.

How the mission changes

From the command to the new mission the game does not just skip: it really loads the chosen mission through the Replay Mission (right character, place, time, weapons and unlocks), so the mission's mechanics do not break.

• Fast mission change (Story menu, on by default, experimental): the mod closes the running mission with the game's own cleanup, puts the story data back and relaunches the replay. It takes about 15 seconds, with a black screen and loading at the bottom right.
• If the fast change does not work, the mod falls back by itself to the game's full restore: it is the same loading as starting the game's Story mode, about 45 seconds in total.
• When you finish a mission the next one follows; if you fail it the same one is retried. In these cases the game does its own full restore before loading the following mission.
• Commands that arrive during loading wait in a queue and run afterwards, none are lost. If several arrive they add up and the game goes straight to the last destination.
• The game's choices (heist approach, the ending): the variant completed in the savegame is used. If a mission is not completed in the savegame it does not start, and says so on screen.

Missions (GTA V) overlay

• App → Overlay → Games → Missions (GTA V): it shows n / 69 (the goal is fixed and cannot be changed). Copy the link and use it as a browser source in OBS or TikTok Live Studio, like the other overlays.
• It is separate from the Wins: it does not use the Win counter and has no + / − buttons. It moves only with the mod's missions, and the number changes as soon as a command arrives.
• It is also available on the Free plan.
• You customise it like the Win overlay (Customise: font, size, colours, outline and text, “MISSIONI:” by default).

Warning: do not save

The Replay Mission rewinds the campaign in memory to replay a mission, and the fast change does it several times without reloading the game: “dirty” statistics and unlocks stay in memory. The mod does not touch your savegame on disk, but if you save the game after using Story (by hand or with autosave) you could save that data.

• When you are done testing do not save: close GTA and reopen it, or reload your savegame from the menu.
• Keep Autosave OFF while you play Story.
• Even better: use a dedicated profile or savegame and keep a copy (folder Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles).
