Addon peds won't spawn

I have been attempting this for the past 2 hours and I have no idea what i’m doing wrong. I have watched at least over 5 videos (one of them was in portuguese!) on how to do this but no matter what… I can’t spawn my ped. I’m trying this one ( https://www.gta5-mods.com/player/mai-shiranui-king-of-fighter )

Here’s what I’ve learned

  1. Create a folder named whatever. I named mine to Mai

  2. Create stream folder inside of Mai folder

  3. Place ped files in stream folder (Mai.ydd, Mai.yft, Mai.ymt, Mai.ytd)

  4. Create peds.meta file ( (I used a template for this, https://pastebin.com/zscDEKgG )

  5. Change ped name in meta file to Mai

  6. Create __resource.lua ( https://pastebin.com/h4bqQReQ )

  7. Move folder to resources folder

  8. Add ‘start Mai’ to server.cfg file

After all that, I open VMenu and attempt to spawn ped by name. I type Mai and press enter. Nothing happens. No error stating the ped doesn’t exist. It just doesn’t appear whatsoever

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

EDIT: server console confirms the resource starts and shows no errors when loading the resource or attempting to spawn the ped, in case anyone was wondering. CitizenFX log shows no errors. Cleared server cache as well.

@ChristopherM Biggest file is over 20mb. However I tried another that was smaller and that still did not work. file sizes here: https://i.imgur.com/XdziLUP.png and the smaller one that I tried https://i.imgur.com/0gvZnjI.png

@Julien_Johnson Your files work! I notice you have the additional client folder, what is that for? also you’re right. I replaced your files with my Mai files and renamed it. Ped will not spawn. So it’s definitely just the ped itself, which sucks. Why does FiveM have random issues with certain cars/weapons/peds?

@Julien_Johnson I took your ped files and used them in my original folder and it worked

How large are the files?

@Jamasi_Hayling yes you’re right, however some ped does not work, I’ve make various configurations in capital name, tiny, both … I tested for fun there is 1 out of 3 that is out, that of MaiT … I did it for you and that’s an example …

I also recorded a command in the console, just typing in the chat ------->

 / mait

peds here

For future reference, there is a 16mb hard limit on streaming files.
