I have installed a few add-on planes - mostly from SkylineGTRFreak - and they work fine in terms of spawning in game and flying etc. but the weapons are missing and do not show up at all!

I created a custom add-on pack called "planes" with it's own "dlc.rpf" and added the files from each plane to that add-on pack. I added all the weapons files and metadata but for some reason, the weapons simply do not work.

I have added:

• F16C
  *F35C
  *SU-75
  *Mig-29A
  *SU-30SM

All of these planes are from SkylineGTRFreak. I've asked in the comments on those mods several times but he never responds.

I have added 100s of add-on packs for cars and they ALL work fine without issue. The planes spawn as I mentioned but the weapons simply do not work.

Can anyone here please help? There must be something wrong that I'm missing that's keeping it from working properly.

Please help!

P.S. If you need to check any of my 'meta' files from the custom add-on pack I created, let me know and I'll share it.

GTA V really needs a 'freeze time' mod where we can "pause" the game during action and use the camera controls to rotate, use filters etc. (i.e. photo mode) to take some amazing screenshots.

I searched for a freeze time mod and only saw this from 2016 - https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/freeze-time-beta.

Apparently it has a lot of bugs so it's essentially useless.

Is there a new(er) mod that does this without bugs/problems? Would really like a freeze time mod in this game - would make for some incredible screenshots.

I'm trying to use this add-on car (https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/grotti-itali-gto-n-larga-custom-add-on#comments_tab) in a custom car pack that I've created with several add-on cars.

The game keeps crashing to desktop when I try to enter the car - usually when I spawn the car using Simple Trainer, the character just warps inside of the car ready to drive. This car spawns next to the character and when I try to enter it, the game just crashes to desktop.

I think I've narrowed down the problem to the fact that there is no unique 'vehiclelayouts.meta' file to indicate how the character should get in etc.

The add-on works on its own - if I add it as a single add-on car and put the line in 'dlclist.xml', it works fine. However, I have > 300 add on cars and all of them are in their own custom DLC.rpf files so that I have < 10 lines of add-on stuff in the 'dlclist.xml.' I do NOT want to add single vehicles to my dlclist and so I need help in figuring out how to make this work.

How do I create a custom vehiclelayouts.meta file for this car? I tried copying the default vehiclelayouts.meta file and just put 'italigton_vehiclelayouts.meta' (added it to the content.xml file also) but that doesn't even spawn the car! It crashes to desktop right away when trying to spawn it.

Any ideas?

I have created a custom DLC pack for various add-on planes & helicopters. The problem is, the game keeps crashing on startup with the "ERR_SYS_FILELOAD" error (corrupt data) and I can't figure out what is wrong with the pack.

Can anyone of you look at the dlc.rpf and tell me what's wrong? Here is the file - https://www.mediafire.com/file/42pst3op1evmih7/dlc.rpf/file

Would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks in advance.

I have many add-on cars that work great, except many of them have a default 'silver' color and the wheel colors don't seem to change when I try to change the 'wheel color' option using Simple Trainer.

An example is the Porsche Carrera GT mod here - https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/2003-porsche-carrera-gt-980

I want to have black wheels (or whatever colors for the rims) so what file/setting do I have to edit/change to do this? I was looking in carvariations.meta and the mod has only four numbers like below:

<Item>
<modelName>CGT</modelName>
<colors>
<Item>
<indices content="char_array">
29
11
28
120

Any help?

I have the latest Liberty City map mod installed along with the Cayo Perico map mod as well. The city spawns fine and I can get to it but the problem is that the game crashes to desktop at exactly the SAME location every single time!

It's near the Playboy X apartment on the other side when I'm driving south (there's a men's clothing store building on the right) the game just crashes right there.

I've reinstalled the Liberty City map mod several times after carefully reading the instructions but I don't understand why it's crashing right there and ONLY there!

Can anyone help?

1.- It does not matter. You can have in different folders or in the same one but make sure to don't use a folder name that's being already used by specific folders in vanilla DLCs.
2.- Same as before, it doesn't matter.

I use a very similar (almost the same) folder structure to what I could see in your screenshots, so don't worry about that.

It still keeps crashing on load for me!

I put all the xxxx_weapons.meta in a folder called weapondata inside /data/ and I put the planeweapons.rpf (changed it from weapons.rpf just to be safe) file in a separate folder called weaponmods inside /x64/.

I opened the OpenIV.log file and here is the end of that file - it stops after berkut_mods.rpf file:

I'm not sure why it's still crashing! I checked and rechecked! Please help.

EDIT: I disabled the berkut mod and it still crashes.

@Suzerain001 Check the following image and tell me if you find something wrong:

I updated the weapons.meta file and removed that line but it still crashes for me.

Two questions:

1. Should the weapons.rpf file be in the same folder as vehicles.rpf and the vehiclemods folder or does it not matter?

2. I have all the xxxx_weapons.meta files in the same folder as the carvariations.meta etc. - is this correct or do I have to put those in a separate folder?

@Reyser

I'm trying to create a custom add-on pack for all my planes with <Item>dlcpacks:\planes\</Item>.

The game crashes on start and I've narrowed it down to the following planes I added yesterday:

• F22A Raptor
• F117A
• SR71B
• Wyvern
• Berkut

All these plane mods are made by SkylineGTRFreak who is amazing but whatever I try, I can't seem to combine his mods into one DLC pack!

I have TONS of other car mods etc. - all custom add-on packs I created myself and they work beautifully.

With this planes DLC custom add-on pack, the game crashes on loading screen.

Really would appreciate your (and others') help with this.

I think the main problem comes from the following file:

• weapons.meta

Here is the weapons.meta that is WORKING: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/sBGf4zF8/file.html

... and here is the weapons.meta file that is NOT WORKING: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/gr9PTeNs/file.html

... and here is the content.xml file: https://www15.zippyshare.com/v/cnNUA9xH/file.html

Please help!
