CHRONO — Justice System for GTA V

Most mods hand you powers. CHRONO gives you consequences: witnesses, news reports, notoriety, and a police force that remembers your face.

Free forever · open source · 526 automated tests · zero warnings

The dash, cut from real gameplay. Watch with sound.

What's in it

Six systems, tested the boring professional way. Powers are the vehicle; consequences are the product.

WEBNET live feed

The city reacts. Freeze time in Baytree and the news reports it: "witnesses baffled by a frozen moment." Every power leaves a paper trail.

Notoriety & Fame

Commit crimes and notoriety climbs. Stay clean and fame builds. Two currencies, two paths through the same city.

Face on File

Caught on camera and your identity is burned. Clean Identity resets it — if you can get out clean. The wanted-star HUD renders properly too (took three tries).

Custody & escort

Arrested? Cops stop chasing during custody. Escort rides re-seat a bailer and flush the chase at ride start.

Superpowers

The vehicle: dash, time stop, invisibility, force push, from the Shift+0 menu.

Mood system

Walking outdoors recovers you. Cruising holds steady. Watching TV gives a boost. Parked in a car does nothing, because that's not rest.

The honest part

Why a justice system at all: I got bored of god-mode mods. Powers without consequences are just a cheat menu — so I built the paper trail.

Why this mod has tests at all: my first public build crashed the game at every launch. I blamed another mod — it was my own code. My AI pair programmer had invented a native function that doesn't exist in the game, and I shipped it without auditing the hash. One hash, one audit, one 4:33am deploy later, it was fixed. 526 tests now cover it.

Screenshots

Real gameplay, captured in-game. No renders, no mockups.

The dash — caught mid-stride, the live feed logs every move Chrono ready — press Shift+0: wanted, notoriety, energy Aftermath — the street remembers what happened Arrested — court in seven seconds, face on file Bolingbroke — day 2 of 30, warrant active Prison Break 4 — no stamina, no mercy
