Hey, i was wondering if anyone has managed to make a weapon model .ydr and .ytd files using sollumz (https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/sollumz-blender-plugin) in blender.

I'm not very good at Blender or even 3D modelling at all and any input is highly appreciated, thank you.

If your goal is to make the gun replace another, then you simply go find the weapon most similar to it and copy the name of it's .ydr and .ytd and place that where the old vanilla model was at. Thats the easier way of having the gun but it sacrifices the weapon you replaced. But it means it'll be easier to access ingame thru game progression or legit ways.

However if your goal is to make it a full addon then you will need to make your own dlc.rpf for it. It's surprisingly simpler than most people think and a lot have done most of the hard work for you. As a matter of fact; if you go check out other addon weapons like

These are all addon weapon mods you could probably use as a guide to see which files are named what and go where (the last two are mine, idk about the others, but you're welcome to gut mine and rename them for other weapons. i wont trip if i see any remaining files.

If you do end up going the addon route, however, you will find it a lot harder to access the weapons in game without a trainer or menu. R* disabled the ability to put addon weapons in ammunation ever since gunrunning (to my knowledge) but if you still wanna tinker with them, You could mess with the global.gxt2 file that handles hesh and all that stuff. But im sure you have simple trainer to use the addon weapons anyway.

Hello,

I have been trying to install some map mods, some which on their readme file say "paste 'dlcpacks:/[modname]/' inside dlc.rpf"

So i followed along with that and pasted exactly that (odviously with the proper modname) and when i load into the game it doesn't work.
I then tried to add "<Item>" before the text, and "</Item>" after. It still doesn't work.

Im using the latest GTA version, and the latest script hook version.

Thanks in advance. Im sorry if this is a dumb question.

Cheers.
