The existence of a specific version like 1.0.1180 highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between Rockstar and the single-player modding community.
When Rockstar releases a new update (moving the game from 1.0.1180 to, say, 1.0.1290), the offsets and memory signatures change. Script Hook V breaks instantly. The entire modding ecosystem grinds to a halt until Alexander Blade updates the hook.
During the 1.0.1180 era, this wait was often short, but it underscored the fragility of the ecosystem. Modders had to maintain multiple versions of the game executable via Steam's "Beta" tab features just to keep their favorite scripts running. This era taught the community the importance of version control—realizing that a modded game is a static artifact, while an online game is a fluid service.
For the technically inclined, Script Hook V uses a technique known as Trampoline Hooking. 1.0.1180 script hook v
The game's executable is protected and cannot be easily overwritten in memory. Script Hook V locates the beginning of a function in memory and overwrites the first few bytes (instructions) with a JMP instruction. This jump redirects the CPU to a "code cave"—a section of memory allocated by Script Hook V where the custom code resides.
The overwritten original bytes are preserved. Once the custom script finishes its frame logic, Script Hook V executes the preserved bytes and jumps back to the rest of the original function. This creates a seamless loop where the game doesn't "know" it is being intercepted.
Cause: Another program is intercepting input (e.g., Discord overlay, Nvidia ShadowPlay).
Fix: Close background overlays or change the trainer’s hotkeys via its .ini file. The existence of a specific version like 1
Correct placement for Script Hook V v1.0.1180:
GTA V Root Folder/
├── GTA5.exe (version 1.0.1180.2)
├── dinput8.dll (Script Hook V loader)
├── ScriptHookV.dll (core library)
├── scripts/ (folder for .lua scripts – if addon)
└── *.asi (mod files, e.g., NativeTrainer.asi)
Critical rule: Do not use this or any Script Hook V version to attempt GTA Online modifications; it will trigger a ban.
GTA V’s executable receives regular updates (Title Updates). Each update changes memory addresses, function offsets, and security routines. Script Hook V must match the game’s EXE version—not just the launcher version. Version 1.0.1180.0 aligns with GTA V build 1.0.1180.2 (often associated with the “San Andreas Mercenaries” update period). Critical rule: Do not use this or any
Script Hook V is a library that allows the use of custom .asi script mods in Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) by intercepting the game’s native functions. Version 1.0.1180.0 corresponds to a specific game patch from Rockstar Games. This paper documents the technical purpose, installation requirements, compatibility constraints, and common troubleshooting for this particular build.
