Cyber Engine Tweaks vs ScriptHookVDotNet

Cyber Engine Tweaks is a free framework for scripting mods for Cyberpunk 2077 with Lua and access to internal game scripting features. It includes a Dear ImGui interface for mods, a console and a TweakDB editor, along with developer options such as diagnostics, assertions, a debug menu and logging game options. Included patches can be enabled or disabled through settings or configuration files, though changes require restarting the game. Examples include removing pedestrians and traffic, disabling temporal antialiasing, suppressing intro movies and skipping the start menu. RED4ext is a prerequisite. The project distributes current releases through GitHub Releases and provides wiki documentation for installation, usage and modding. Windows is supported; Linux instructions cover use through Proton, including Steam and non-Steam/Wine setups. Release notes for Patch 2.31 list support for game version 2.31. The repository includes an MIT license permitting use, modification and distribution subject to its conditions, and provides the software without warranty.

ScriptHookVDotNet is free Windows PC script runtime software for Grand Theft Auto V Story Mode. It runs under Script Hook V and connects custom .NET code to the game, allowing scripts in any .NET language; the FAQ recommends C# for new coders. Object-oriented APIs provide guided interfaces and documentation for common GTA V scripting tasks. Scripts are built as .NET Framework class libraries and can reference the ScriptHookVDotNet3 package, including through NuGet, as well as arbitrary .NET Framework libraries. The runtime and scripts can be reloaded with SHVDN commands, although the runtime cannot currently reload after Script Hook V unloads all loaded ASI scripts. The project says official game versions are supported, while some advanced scripts may fail on certain versions. Requirements include Script Hook V, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or later, and the x64 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 or later. GTA Online requires removing SHVDN and related mods when an ASI loader is installed.
