1. Description
Advanced Custom Blips lets you add and manage custom map blips exactly the way you want. The mod features an on-screen icon selection, a preview blip in front of the player, and 10+ editable properties for blip including name, group, icon, color, size, transparency and much more. You can load Addon Blips mod config blips with a single button (see the "FAQ" section to learn more). Create, edit, teleport to, copy, and manage custom blips entirely through the LemonUI menu. All blip data and settings are now stored in JSON format (with automatic migration from older INI files), allowing full naming freedom for blips and groups, support for decimal coordinates, and seamless update checking. Predefined locations for gas stations, fire departments, police departments, markets, medical centers, ATMs, and metro stations are included. Each category can be toggled individually via the in-game LemonUI menu (all categories are off by default).

You can load Addon Blips mod config blips with a single button (see the "FAQ" section to learn more). Create, edit, teleport to, copy, and manage custom blips entirely through the LemonUI menu. All blip data and settings are now stored in JSON format (with automatic migration from older INI files), allowing full naming freedom for blips and groups, support for decimal coordinates, and seamless update checking. Predefined locations for gas stations, fire departments, police departments, markets, medical centers, ATMs, and metro stations are included. Each category can be toggled individually via the in-game LemonUI menu (all categories are off by default).
Hotkeys (Configurable):
- Toggle Coordinates Key:
- Function: Toggles the on-screen display of the player's current coordinates (X, Y, Z).
- Default Key: F1
- Reload Blips Key:
- Function: Reloads the script.
- Default Key: F2
- Toggle Blip Visibility Key:
- Function: Hides or shows all the custom blips that have been loaded from the JSON file on the map.
- Default Key: F3
- Open Menu Key:
- Function: Opens the main LemonUI menu for the script, allowing access to settings, adding blips, and managing existing ones.
- Default Key: F10
Useful Notes:
- When adding a new blip in "Add New Blip" menu, leaving the Size/Scale field empty will automatically use the default blip size (1.0). Similarly leaving the X, Y, and Z fields empty will automatically use your current player coordinates. Same can be said for Flash Interval (100) and Transparency (255)
- In "Global Settings" menu when choosing key, you can either scroll through the list or press Enter then press the key you want to assign
- When choosing an icon from on-screen, make sure to click as much as possible at the center of the icon to select it
- When choosing the icon or color in "Add New Blip" menu or edit blip menu, you can type icon/color names or IDs directly (Icon reference here) (Color reference here)
Important:
- The full list of 800+ blip icons is not shown on screen, what is shown on screen are some not all, to see all available blip icons either scroll through the icon list or select it then type icon name or ID directly (reference here)
- There are some blips that are not clickable because I could not find its ID
- Flash Interval has no effect if Flashing State is not enabled
- This script has only been tested on the Legacy version of GTA V. I cannot guarantee its functionality on the Enhanced version of GTA V (it may or may not work as intended), as it was not tested there and won't get tested by me
- The "Manage Existing Blips" menu has not been fully tested yet. If you encounter any bugs, errors, or weird/unintended behavior, please report them
- Don’t hesitate to suggest features, improvements, bugs, or anything else about this script mod. I’ll be more than happy to read your suggestions
2. Features
- LemonUI menu for adding, editing, copying, deleting, and teleporting to custom blips in-game
- 10+ editable properties for custom blips
- Real-time preview of the blip in front of your player before saving
- On-screen icon selection with a color preview
- Support for Addon Blips — you can now seamlessly load their TXT blip files
- 800+ available blip icons
- 80+ available blip colors
- Configurable hotkeys (display coordinates, reload blips, open menu, and toggle visibility of custom blips)
- Predefined locations for gas stations, fire departments, police departments, markets, medical centers, ATMs, and metro stations. Each category can be toggled on or off individually via the in-game LemonUI menu (all categories are disabled by default).
- Group system for organizing blips in the "Manage Existing Blips" menu for easier custom blip management
- JSON-based storage system (automatic migration from INI with backup support for older versions of the script)
- Lightweight — the script is optimized for performance
3. Requirements
- Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (as mentioned above)
- Script Hook V
- Script Hook V .NET (nightly)
- .NET Framework 4.8
- LemonUI
4. Installation
- Ensure that Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET (nightly), .NET Framework 4.8, and LemonUI are properly installed
- Extract all files into your "scripts" folder (create it if missing, using the exact same name) in your GTA V Legacy directory
- Add blips via the in-game menu (open menu with the F10 key)
5. Known Bugs & Mod Conflicts
- When opening the "Manage Existing Blips" menu while a large number of blips exist (e.g., 100+), the game may freeze for 3–4 seconds. Why does this happen? Because for each group, the script creates a menu containing all blips within that group. Additionally, for every blip item inside the group menu, the script creates another submenu with 14 event handlers. Good news: A fix is currently in development for a future update to make this process smoother and more optimized.
6. FAQs
- Q: I found a bug(s) and/or mod conflict(s). How can I report it?
A: Contact me directly through the mod’s page (officially on the GTA5Mods website) and include the contents of "Advanced Custom Blips Log.txt". If possible, also include the steps to reproduce the issue. While optional, this helps me troubleshoot the problem much faster and identify exactly where the issue occurs.
- Q: Can I add blips manually (writing directly to JSON without the use of in-game menu)?
A: Technically you can, but it is much harder because the JSON format is stricter, and as of v4.0.0 the script only accepts index numbers for color and icon values.
- Q: Will you add support for Enhanced version of GTA V?
A: Indeed the support for the Enhanced version of GTA V is currently under consideration.
However, I do not personally own or test on that version. If you are using the Enhanced version and would like to help bring support for it, feel free to contact me in the comments. Your role will be a tester to confirm that it is working as intended on that version before finally releasing it to the public. All testers are welcome.
- Q: Does this mod affect performance (FPS)?
A: Only the moment when opening the "Manage Existing Blips" menu, else no impact. Refer to "Known Bugs & Mod Conflicts" section for more information. Feel free to report any performance issues.
- Q: How to disable a key (e.g., menu key, reload key, coordinates display key, and etc.)?
A: You can disable keys in two ways:
- In-game menu: Open the menu using F10, go to Global Settings, and find the key you wish to disable.
Scroll through the list until it shows "None", then select and press Save Changes.
- Via JSON file: Open "Advanced Custom Blips Settings.json" then find the key you want to disable and replace its value with "None".
- In-game menu: Open the menu using F10, go to Global Settings, and find the key you wish to disable.
- Q: How to add custom blips from "Addon Blips" mod to this mod?
A: Step 1: Place the "Addon Blips" folder (the folder that contains the mod's .txt blip files) in scripts folder.
Step 2: Open the in-game menu (default F10) → go to Global Settings → check "Enable Add-On blips" → press Save. The Addon Blips will be loaded automatically at script startup.
Important notes:- You do NOT need the full Addon Blips mod installed — only its folder and .txt files are required.
- Unchecking the option and saving removes those blips from Advanced Custom Blips.json only; the original .txt files in the Addon Blips folder are left untouched.
- Q: What does the "Group" field do? Is it the same as the in-game blip categories (like Ammu-Nation, Tennis, etc.)? Why don’t blips appear grouped on the main map even though they are in the same group?
A: The “Group” field is only for organizing blips in the in-game LemonUI menu. It does not change how blips appear on the main map or create any new in-game categories. Think of it as a folder or label to help you manage many custom blips more easily. You can freely name groups anything you like — it’s purely for your convenience in the menu.
- Q: Will updating from v3.0, v2.0, or v1.0 (INI) to the latest JSON version delete my saved blips and settings?
A: No. When upgrading from v3.0, v2.0, or v1.0 (INI) to the newer JSON-based version, the script automatically converts your existing Advanced Custom Blips.ini file to the new JSON format on first launch. All saved blips and settings will be migrated automatically, blips will be in the "Migrated" group. A backup of your old INI file (Advanced Custom Blips.ini.backup) is created for safety. You do not need to manually recreate your blips. Just make sure your original INI file is still inside the scripts folder before running the updated version for the first time.

Thanks to this mod, I was able to solve the problem of the game's main stores, like LSCustom, Binco, barbershops, AmmuNation, etc., disappearing after a few minutes. Now, with the help of AI to populate the Advanced Custom Blips.json file, the blips are persistent. Initially, it loads duplicates along with the original game blips, but since the game disappears them after a few minutes, the ones from this mod remain. So, as a thank you, I'm sharing my Advanced Custom Blips.json file, which contains only these blips, in case anyone needs them and doesn't have to deal with the original process. Many thanks to the mod creator :)
P.S.: The blip names are in Spanish, but you can change them to your language in the same file under Name=

@Ali Osama Thanks for your work! May I suggest the option to hide particular vanilla blips?
I'll stay tuned for the update.
@CJislit Just anytime. Sure you can, but it may be implemented in future update not the next one. I promise you that the next update will be much much better in terms of performance, error handling, and bug (since v3.0 got a lot of bugs). Put it simply the next version will be more about stability, bug fixes, and improvements once we have a solid base we can add any many features as we want. To be honest with you v3.0 should have been released as beta (I do not have much time for testing).
@Ali Osama Thanks for still be working on the mod. I'll test your new version when it comes out. Right now, I played all weekend with the latest and, even though I did not add or remove more blips (i have a fair amount of added ones, like 20-30), I did not notice any issue nor crashes.
@CJislit You are welcome. Once the next version is released, you will see a lot of fixed and improvements in the changelog. Some are major like: pressing the save button in the global settings menu incorrectly saves keys to ini and hence disabling any menu interactions.
@CJislit @ZynexGG @eddie0704 @JoyLucien check out the new update.
@Ali Osama is there a way to upgrade to current update without losing my saved blips in v3? I see you went from ini to Json but my currently ini has like 60 blips lol or will I have to redo them all?
P.s. love the mod, been using it for a while.
@DxNzer047new yes, you can absoluty move without losing your blips. Yes, you don’t need to redo your blips. When upgrading from v3 or lower (INI) to the newer JSON version, the script automatically converts your existing Advanced Custom Blips.ini into the new JSON format on first launch. It also creates a backup of your old INI file just in case. So your ~60 blips should migrate over automatically, just make sure you keep the INI file in the scripts folder before running the new version. It will also migrate Your settings. Your blips will be saved in "Migrated" group Read the features and changelog section to know more.
@Ali Osama awesome, thank you so much!
@Ali Osama Thanks! I just loaded it and it seems to work fine. I'll test it on the weekend.
Thanks, will come in handy in add on maps!!
@CJislit You're welcome, test the "Manage Exsiting Blips" menu and INI migration since I didn't test them that much. Tell me if you found any bugs. Thank you for helping me improve my script. (Check the changelog section your name is listed)
@William Halverd Just anytime. It adds predefined blips for gas stations, fire departments, police departments, markets, medical centers, ATMs, and metro stations are included. Each category can be toggled individually and later be edited in "Manage Existing Blips" menu group system.
@Ali Osama i am getting game crash when trying to delete existing blips on v4
@DxNzer047new Thanks for reaching out to report. Could you send the script hook v dot net log file content? And the advanced custom blips log file content? Once I receive both I can help fix the problem. Also if possible (optional) provide the steps to reproduce the bug, And advanced custom blips json file contents
@DxNzer047new New update is coming to fix this problem. Check it out.
best blip script of oat
@dvsdio Thanks, that means a lot
@Ragnarok_One Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with the mod. I am really glad the mod helped solve the problem and that it made your blips persistent. I just wanna let you know that you are welcome to upload your configuration as its own mod, and link to my mod's page. I appreciate you taking the time to share it with others.
I have pinned your comment so new user can see your custom configuration and experience.
@Ali Osama Later I realized there are about six bllips taken from an older or online version that don't exist in the current SP game, but they can be easily removed with your mod. You could also include those groups in your mod, like clothing stores, tattoo parlors, etc., so those bllips can be loaded as needed. :)
