Sanny Builder, or shortly SB, is a fast and powerful script editor designed for the GTA 3D game series (GTA3, VC, SA; partially LCS and VCS). It includes a dissasembler, permitting the end-user to quickly disassemble the main.scm file which contains game scripts, and a fast compiler to translate user-made scripts back into a SCM or CLEO file readable by game. Sanny Builder is made and produced by Seemann.

Major features

  • Support for all GTA 3D game series till GTA 4. It could disassemble and assemble scripts of GTA3, GTA VC and GTA SA. The script format of GTA LCS and GTA VCS is supported partially: SB is able only to disassemble its scripts;

  • Convenient IDE with syntax highlighting;
  • Detailed help including description and solutions for all run-time error messages.
