What is a _manifest.ymf file?

GTAV Noob Modder117

What is it? What does it do? What's it's purpose? What if it is removed? ...How is it edited? I've actually never bothered looking into this file...

Google doesn't help either, I get results relating to paranormal manifestations and other... Odd forms of... Manifest...

Really? Nobody knows what it is?

... I may be dumb or something but... I don't really see the resemblance between that manifest and the GTA V vehicle.rpf manifest.

From what I've gathered it looks like the GTA V manifest is referencing textures??? I see a lot of vehicle model names and TXD in it...

@GTAV-Noob-Modder117
my best guess would be the _manifest states which texture archive to use (+hi)
for tuning parts that don't have embedded textures but take it from the nero2+hi.ytd

_manifest.ymf from nero2_mods.rpf
