@Effect said in Desperate plead for help from a fella out with locked DLC content:
Well one of the worst things I've encountered was certain DLC props are locked/invalid (more specifically
Yeah, no. I have yet to encounter actually locked props. The 'way around that' is to realize the game wont let you spawn just any prop anywhere (like with Menyoo). It may feel like a protection mechanism, but is really just a way of saying 'We will not load up everything to always be availabe everywhere.'
So, do it the way the game does. Use a ymap to spawn your props; and then let CodeWalker create a _manifest.yft, to bring the object 'libraries' into scope for your build. Like a typical _manifest may contain a section like:

Like the name says, that's an array of named ytyp definitions your ymap is dependent upon. CodeWalker can generate that totally automagically for you.
Tl;dr: every object you can see in game can be spawn from every location. You just need to know how.
