@-EcLiPsE- Thank you, i'll try to follow this

Thank you so much bro, you helped me with my glock

@Johnixel said in MILO starter guide!:

I have recently started getting into MLO’s and am currently trying to make an interior myself (using CodeWalker). I have copied over a GTAVONLINE warehouse to my location of choice (which works), but want to decorate it with props. I have already tried doing it with a YMAP, but have learned the hard way that this is not possible with MLO instances. How do I go about adding them? I tried loading the YTYP, as instructed in the tutorials I have seen as well as the links you’ve provided, but that doesn’t seem to be possible. Could you assist me please?

Yeah, objects placed inside a MLO (as regular ymap) are typycally not visible (with a few rare exceptions, like where you create an an object with its root-position outside the MLO). So, you will have to use CodeWalker for that.

Adding props with CW takes a bit of getting used to. Normally, when you have added a ymap to your Project, you just grab an object near to where you want to place yours. That will tell you what room the object is in. Then you scroll to the bottom, where the rooms are defined, select the room, and say 'Add Object.' (That's important, as you can't just arbitrarily add props just anywhere). Once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty easy.

@meimeiriver sorry to bother you, but I'm trying to convert a FIVEM Map that's great to use in SP and I have some .ydd and .ymf files, where should I put them???

Thanks in advance!!!

Troubleshooting:

How the Three Sections are Linked:
The 'Vehicle', 'VehicleEngine' & 'VehicleEngineGranular' sections do not have to be next to each other (they usually are, just 'VehicleEngine' & 'VehicleEngineGranular' swapped around sometimes), but rather than their position/order in 'game.dat151.rel', the connections between the three sections are actually formed by the names & hashes directly under the 'Vehicle', 'VehicleEngine' & 'VehicleEngineGranular' lines.
Example:

<Item type="Vehicle" ntOffset="362535"> <Name>vigero</Name> <Unk00 value="0x91004A69" /> <Engine>hash_E03115BB</Engine> <!-- Links to 'VehicleEngine' section (same hash) --> <EngineGranular>hash_33290B6F</EngineGranular> <!-- Links to 'VehicleEngineGranular' section (same hash) --> <Item type="VehicleEngine" ntOffset="362542"> <Name>hash_E03115BB</Name> <!-- Linked from '<Engine>' line above --> <Item type="VehicleEngineGranular" ntOffset="362556"> <Name>hash_33290B6F</Name> <!-- Linked form '<EngineGranular>' above -->

Usual Plain English Format of the Three Main Names/Hashes:

They are usually in this format:

Example:

<Item type="Vehicle" ntOffset="362535"> <Name>vigero</Name> <!-- format = 'vehiclename' --> <Unk00 value="0x91004A69" /> <Engine>vigero_engine</Engine> <!-- format = 'vehiclename_engine' --> <EngineGranular>vigero_granular_engine</EngineGranular> <!-- format = 'vehiclename_granular_engine' --> <Item type="VehicleEngine" ntOffset="362542"> <Name>vigero_engine</Name> <!-- format = 'vehiclename_engine' --> <Item type="VehicleEngineGranular" ntOffset="362556"> <Name>vigero_granular_engine</Name> <!-- format = 'vehiclename_granular_engine' -->

So once you know the vehicle/sound profile name (the one under the '<Item type="Vehicle" ntOffset="#####">' line) you can then use the '<Engine>' & '<EngineGranular>' just under it to find the other two linked sections for that profile.

Note:
Some of the vehicles use their '.awc' name (or something very similar) in some of the 'vehicle-name-here' parts of their hashed phrases.
For example, vigero (& a few other vehicles) use 'musclecar_2_us_v8_' in their hash naming format:

Example:

VIGERO HASHES - hash_E03115BB = vigero_engine hash_33290B6F = vigero_granular_engine hash_9B652D9B = musclecar_2_us_v8_engine_accel hash_B4D51AE7 = musclecar_2_us_v8_exhaust_accel hash_AB173DDE = musclecar_2_us_v8_engine_accel_npc

You only really need to know the plain English phrases to make you're job easer navigating & reading large heavily editing files, linking vanilla sections using the hash values works just as well & you can create whatever naming format you want for any add-on sounds you add, so don't worry about it too much.
I just thought I'd share some extra info, to give you a feel for how most things work to the same set of rules, but with a few odd things hidden in the files that buck that trend & do something different.

@a63nt-5m1th said in [ Tutorial ] - How to increase/decrease the volume of vehicle engines (without editing the '.awc' audio files):

Engine

What's the difference between adjusting VehicleEngine section vs EngineGranular? Some vehicles don't have EngineGranular.

@ReNNie Thank you for the tutorial! I do not suppose you know what values to set the BodyColorRemap1-4 to keep bodycolor same as default?

Adding to a project of mine and would to spawn same color every time (default body color is Red) - many thanks

Despite how old this topic is, this is till pretty neat. However it'd be nice if there was some way to center an odd number of characters. I have a Missouri plate that I made and it's six digits instead of 8, but there's a space in the center which makes it 7 characters.
HL3-U4J is an example.
Normally placing this on a plate will either offset it to the left or right by one character. I wish there was a way to somehow center it. Or not even that, maybe just any odd character number in general, such as H4RRY or something as someone's plate, which once again by default gets offset to the left or right by one character.

I prefer written tutorials, but this guy seems to have made a great video series!

thanks, it helped me a lot
