I downloaded some clothes mods or accessories, but I couldn't see the texture before I put it into the game. What I can do to see the texture?

@cornost do you see that [+] add texture in the bottom right corner? click it and select that 0.ytd

@ReNNie
That won't work in this case. The '.ydd' hasn't been set up to be game ready. The original creator left spaces in the names of the textures & within the texture name lines in the '.odd/.odr/.otx' files etc, so the model can't find the textures

**If you just want to know what it looks like, it looks like this:**

Holster

If you want to make it game ready, you'll need to do this:

Codewalker:

Download Codewalker from <that discord link (ie don't download CW from gta5-mods as that version is obsolete & missing features)
Open Codewalker's RPF Explorer & navigate to where Holster Glock GK TLR.ydd is installed.
Once you find it, right-click it & select 'Export XML...' & choose a place to export it.
Now hit the '[Edit mode]' button (top middle right) & accept any warnings.
Then right-click anywhere in the folder & select 'Import XML...' & select the 'Holster Glock GK TLR.ydd.xml' file.
Now you can close Codewalker & delete the files you exported to Windows (the 'Holster Glock GK TLR.ydd.xml' file & 'Holster Glock GK TLR' folder)

OpenIV:

Start OpenIV & navigate to where Holster Glock GK TLR.ydd is installed.
Right-click it & select 'Export to openFormats (.odd)' & choose a location to export it.
Now, open the '0.ytd' & export the 'Plaque Cuisse GK Holster Radar TLR1 Glock Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor' texture as a '.dds' file & export it to the 'mp_m_freemode_01' folder you exported to openFormats in the previous step.
In Windows, navigate to that location & enter the 'mp_m_freemode_01' folder & rename the 'Plaque Cuisse GK Holster Radar TLR1 Glock Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.dds' texture to 'Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.dds'
Now, make a copy of the 'Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_Normal.otx' file & rename the duplicate to 'Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.otx'
Open the 'Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.otx' file with any text editor & change it to look like this:

Version 13 30
{
	Image Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.dds
	Type Regular
	PixelFormat DXT1
	Levels 10
	Usage DIFFUSE
	UsageFlags -
	ExtraFlags 0
}

Then navigate back one folder to the 'mp_m_freemode_01.odr' file & open it with any text editor.
Edit the 'DiffuseSampler' line to look like this:

			DiffuseSampler mp_m_freemode_01\Plaque_Cuisse_GK_Holster_Radar_TLR1_Glock_Droite_DefaultMaterial_BaseColor.otx

At this point, if you drag the 'mp_m_freemode_01.odr' file into OpenIV, it will create a fully functional '.ydr'.
but if you require a '.ydd' file, navigate up one folder to where the 'Holster Glock GK TLR.odd' file & 'Holster Glock GK TLR' folder are located & rename both of them to Holster_Glock_GK_TLR.
Now finally, open the newly renamed 'Holster_Glock_GK_TLR.odd' file with any text editor & edit it to look like this:

Version 165 32
{
	Holster_Glock_GK_TLR\mp_m_freemode_01.odr
}

After that, you can drag & drop the 'Holster_Glock_GK_TLR.odd' file into OpenIV to install it (it will be converted to a '.ydd' automatically).
If you need to rename it at any point in future, just rename the 'Holster_Glock_GK_TLR.ydd' file to whatever you need, you don't need to do any other renaming.
