"Now i am expecting a open source version of gta to arrive soon on linux natively . Tired of playing supertuxcart."

Here is the source. Another one.

The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?

[–] [email protected] 131 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

There are 3 leaks in circulation:

4.3 gigs, src only

17 gigs, src + partial assets

1 TB, src + full assets

Data hoarders where you at?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm looking for full assets; can anyone give a magnet?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is the magnet i've got:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0e1610f5c681bbe8e908ddb7f73dc890899994f4&dn=gta%20v%20source%20code&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce

I actually don't have a torrent client installed right now so i haven't checked if this is correct, you tell me lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Looks like this one is just the 4.33gb source code/no assets one :( I've found this one and a 7gb torrent (I think it has some extra build tools or something), but no trace of the mysterious 1tb dump yet...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Did you ever find it?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Holy shit a whole terabyte? God damn.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All the code, commit history, build scripts, used assets, unused assets, modified assets, random extra stuff.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

COMMIT HISTORY? WTF!? This is huge!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Tbh I’m surprised it’s that small

4.3 gb for source code only seems like a lot though, doesn't it? (I am just a data scientist/civil engineer/hydrologolist though, no software developer, so I might be wrong I guess).

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Probably packed with tools and things, not just source code.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If it's just logic and stuff then not really. Most of the video's game size comes from assets. Textures/npc etc.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, and the source code wouldn't have the assets. So the previous comment holds up -- 4.3gb or whatever seems pretty big, no?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean it is a huge game, and source code probably includes other required tools.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

No doubt. I just couldn't imagine that much space being taken up by what would effectively be text

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

I don’t think so, GTA has a lot of pathing and logic, I think it makes sense

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I also found 4th which is 3.4gigs.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago

It's probably just the code without any assets (textures, 3d models, etc.). Code really doesn't take much space. You'd have a hard time actually building it to something playable as is, but this is still useful to modders.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Most of that size is assets rather than programme code

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah I would be shocked at 4GB of text haha

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

It contains only code, no assets or textures.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

It's big enough since code is just texts.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Code is pretty small but images, textures, voice lines, etc can crank it up

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

lol, i think we can agree that 4+ GB of pure letters are not by any means small

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Apparently, GTA V has around 36,000,000 lines of code. Slightly more than modern Linux.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Small in byte size ofc
