Hi, I was wondering if there is a file somewhere within Grand Theft Auo V's data that determines what a special character will look like.
I'm not asking to change how they function or what they say. I'm looking to perhaps change the character's model. This is easily done with peds that use unique models, but not so easy with peds that use common models.
For instance, Ursula uses the female hiker ped. Is there something I can do to change this? Any help would be appreciated.
Where are the many different Ped Voice Groups defined? I've been doing some tweaking and modifying to the peds.ymt file, and found out about the "<PedVoiceGroup>" value. As far as I can tell, this sets the different voices of the many pedestrians in the game.
I've found where the Ped Personalities are, and have even made my own custom Personalities, I'd very much appreciate it if someone could tell me.
I'm sure most of you know about the models "slod_human" "slod_large_quadped" and "slod_small_quadped". These are simply low poly, vague figures that appear at great distances to keep your frame rate as high as possible. Why do I bring this up? Here's what I was wondering.
I had this "brilliant" idea to take one of these slod models and put it into the world as a definable pedestrian with its own personality and combat info. The only problem is that during the process of spawning said pedestrian, the game instantly crashes.
I figured this was intentional on R*'s part, because instead of creating a completely new entry, I added the base "slod_human" itself into the Menyoo "menyooStuff/PedsList.xml" file under the name "Vague Human Figure". Once I even highlighted this entry, the game instantly crashed.
So, instead of giving up, I tried copying and pasting that same model into the AddonPeds mod and adding it onto the list under the model name "slod_human_ped".
Needless to say, I got the same result.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way I could add this ped into the world without it crashing entirely?
Hey there, I've done some snooping about the loadouts.meta file, and I performed a few tests. I found out how to change the pistol into whatever gun I choose. That's all well and good, but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I want to make it to where peds have a variety of weapons to choose from. Like, sometimes they carry a pistol, and sometimes they carry an uzi.
But no matter what I do, even copying and pasting code from other entries, it either gives me a syntax error, or discards the loadout entirely. This is tremendously infuriating as you can maybe imagine.
If anyone knows how this file works, and what I can do to get my desired result, I will very much appreciate your help. I'd also be glad to elaborate if you don't know what I am talking about.
Last thing, If this isn't possible, please just say so rather than skipping. It would really help out a lot.
I was doing some customizing of the GTA peds clothing, skin tones, whathaveyou. And I decided I wanted to make extra textures for ambient peds. I successfully added the new textures, and even edited to ymt file to incorporate them into the med model data. Using a trainer, I can see the different textures just fine. Here's where the problems start:
No matter what I do, the naturally spawned ped will not load the custom textures I gave it; only the original ones. This is very frustrating as I'm sure you can tell. I looked into the pedvariations file for a ideas, still no dice. It seems more for actual clothing models, rather than textures for said clothes.
I've added more than one texture file, so I know for sure that the game does recognize them as legitimate textures, instead of replacements for the missing texture.
Oh my god, it actually works! Thank you so much dude. I've been looking for this file for over about a year now! When I finally found it, it just refused to work for me no matter what I did. You saved the day dude!
Thanks again!

I took the liberty of converting it to an xml file, so you don't have to.
These are the edits I have made, I suggest viewing the file with NotePad ++. It's a big file, so I listed where the edited lines are by line number:
23929 - <RelationshipGroup>AMBIENT_GANG_HILLBILLY</RelationshipGroup>
24337 - <MovementClipSet>MOVE_M@GANGSTER@VAR_D</MovementClipSet>
24410 - <MovementClipSet>MOVE_M@GANGSTER@VAR_J</MovementClipSet>
The original file:
23929 - <RelationshipGroup>CIVMALE</RelationshipGroup>
24337 - <MovementClipSet>MOVE_M@SHADYPED@A</MovementClipSet>
24410 - <MovementClipSet>MOVE_M@SHADYPED@A</MovementClipSet>
I recently discovered that editing vmt files is now a thing. So I took action.
I've been attempting to modify the peds.ymt file to get my own version of GTA that I'd like to play.
I've made my test modifications and added it to my mods folder in OpenIV. However, no matter what I do, the game crashes almost immediately after starting it up. When I replace it with the default file, the game works like normal, so it's only edited versions causing the crash.
The file I am editing is in "update/update.rpf/x64/data/peds.ymt"
@ReNNie Could you help me out with this? Explain it step by step? I don't need help modifying the voice, I just need to know where to put the peds.meta / peds.xml. I can't find a place where to put it that makes it work with the game.
