I know you guys are programmers and not gamers but it thought 
maybe you want to experiment or help expand D?

Currently there is a Script hook program that allows users to 
create mods/scripts for GTA5. 
http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/

Some people have made plugins for script hook to support other 

https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools. If this sounds interesting, 
maybe someone can make a plugin for D. Im not even sure if or how 
it will work.

I wont hide anything from you though. It might dissuade you from 
trying.
This will require you to obtain a copy of the game, obviously to 
test it.
However, the company Rockstar doesnt like people modding the game 
so if you plan on playing Multiplayer, you will probably get 
banned.

Anyways, Thanks for looking.

If it's a C API, you can use it from D. You just need to write the bindings to the library to use it with some extern(C) functions. If it's a C++ API, you can kind of sort of use it from D, mileage may vary. It's a shame Rockstar is banning modding. They must hate fun.

Yup, you were right, its a c++ api. At least thats what the .Net plugin shows me here. https://github.com/crosire/scripthookvdotnet/tree/master/source The thing is im not advanced enough to make it happen.
