The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?
There are 3 leaks in circulation:
Data hoarders where you at?
I'm looking for full assets; can anyone give a magnet?
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
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...
Did you ever find it?
Holy shit a whole terabyte? God damn.
All the code, commit history, build scripts, used assets, unused assets, modified assets, random extra stuff.
COMMIT HISTORY? WTF!? This is huge!
Tbh I’m surprised it’s that small
All the code, commit history, build scripts, used assets, unused assets, modified assets, random extra stuff.
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).
Probably packed with tools and things, not just source code.
If it's just logic and stuff then not really. Most of the video's game size comes from assets. Textures/npc etc.
Yes, and the source code wouldn't have the assets. So the previous comment holds up -- 4.3gb or whatever seems pretty big, no?
I mean it is a huge game, and source code probably includes other required tools.
No doubt. I just couldn't imagine that much space being taken up by what would effectively be text
I also found 4th which is 3.4gigs.
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.
Most of that size is assets rather than programme code
Yeah I would be shocked at 4GB of text haha
It contains only code, no assets or textures.
It's big enough since code is just texts.
Code is pretty small but images, textures, voice lines, etc can crank it up
lol, i think we can agree that 4+ GB of pure letters are not by any means small
Apparently, GTA V has around 36,000,000 lines of code. Slightly more than modern Linux.
Small in byte size ofc
