GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
That's what I did Some times it even changes back to the old dds inside the ytd..
What format should I put back inside the ytd? Png or dds?

What would be the correct
workflow to do this
workflow to do this
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
.dds and perfectly the same type (DXT3, DXT1, DXT5) as original. Can't be more specific on workflow, as I personally haven't modded any ped/npc, i always used original model with original textures for tests.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
okok thanks alot!! I think maybe its the DXT messing it up
I'll report back tommorow

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Hi again,
I have changed the DXT's and mipmaps to match original.. but no luck.
The original is a jbib_ and I want to replace a uppr_, but when I do that, the texture doesnt even show up on the model in the OpenIV model viewer. Although, when I just put the jbib_ in the ytd, it looks fine in the OpenIV viewer. Not in game.. Also, when I change the jbib to uppr, I cant assign it in the polygons list, it's just completely gone :/
I have also tried scaling the original jbib dds down from 4048x4048 to 1548x1548, maybe that was the problem.. :/
Here are some screenshots of the project with the original jbib files in the ytd, in Zmod, OpenIV and in-game.

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
does it appear in game with random flickering/changing textures or keep showing the texture on the screenshot? if it keep the same texture, you just need to locate it in .ytd file and replace it with yours. Also, keep original texture size if possible, if you rescale texture, keep linear size of width and height to a power of 2. 4096 is correct value, the one lower it will be 2048, then 1024. intermediate size 1548x1548 is incorrect, but I doubt it is related to the issue. As you can see the game keeps bump texture of your model, but tries to put "random" diffuse/color texture using its own in-game logic. the logic is to take (possibly random) textures from a set of .ytd files associated with the model.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
I got it working!!!
Did a bunch in the material browser, and lucked out!
Although now, the shirt texture has a weird grey fade too it.. Not all black like in OpenIV. Maybe something to do with shaders? Any ideas? )
Thank you so much for your help!

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
seems like BUMPMAP texture is missing now and bad texture is used instead of it.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
hmm... I'll try and make a new one and report back
Thanks )
Thanks )
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Tried making a new bumpmap.. Still looks the same Maybe something todo with snow?
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
I doubt. your earlier screenshots where showing correct bump-map texture and wrong diffuse texture; latest screenshot has correct diffuse texture and wrong bump texture.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
I'm not even sure if I was using one the first time.. But after I got the right texture working, I did some work in the material browser to get it working.. That's where I choose the bump, but after you said it was the new bump was off, I made a new one and same result.. I'll have to do some testing with and without it.. :/
But thanks for your continues help, I will report back after testing

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Where in the hierarchy do I add a new uppr? When I add a uppr_002 to s_m_y_cop_01, my whole ped is invisable except head and task.. Any ideas?
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
And how do I assign multiple materials to a accs? I have modded the ymt

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
The npc is in ZModeler 3 with a rig So then there is no way for me to export it into a 3d program with its rig
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
you can try a .DAE, but i'm not quite sure it will work with rigged models.

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
its replaced all the parts with the one part on export
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Anyone figure out how to add a new component to the model?
It's rigged up, materials are in, shows up in OpenIV but won't show up in the game. Not sure what hash values to add/retract to give to make the game realize that there's another option under that accessory slot when editing the .ymt file.
Any clues?

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Hmm.. Game doesn't seem to recognize it still even with the .ymt edited.
It shows up as an option but when selected is invisible.

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
have you checked the basic component replacement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNH2EN9B0ds ?
concerning the export to .dae, I would suggest to export components one by one. rename and move .mesh from each .ydd branch into root together with .skel from .global (move it too by right-click, linking, unlink). then delete the rest and export one component+skeleton. then undo changes and do the same with another component.
if you keep model exported by components with identical (the same) skeleton being used, it will be ok later when you return it into zmodeler, even if you edit it meanwhile.

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
I used your replacement video to swap out pieces before, yeah. It took me a minute to figure it out but I got it.
Now I'm trying to add a new component, vice replacing one.
I've edited the .ymt file to show a second item in the selection menu and, in game it shows a second item to select, but even though the item is linked to the model, rigged, mats are good in Zmodeler, it still won't show up in game. OpenIV sees it but the game doesn't.
