With the newly announced free GTAV PC Upgrade, custom assets currently used on FiveM and GTAV Legacy will not be natively compatible with GTAV Enhanced.
To assist the modding community in making their assets compatible with the new upgrade, we are working on a conversion tool which will support the following formats:
Dictionaries of multiple drawables (*.ydd)
Generic models, geometry, optional embedded textures and lights (*.ydr)
Complex fragmented skeletons/models used for pedestrians, vehicles, destructible objects, etc. (*.yft)
Texture Dictionaries (also known as TXD) (*ytd.)
Other file types such as .ycd and .ybn will not require any conversion.
We’re still finalising a release date, but please know that we’re currently focused on completing the final few tasks required to release the tool. Expect a full announcement and comprehensive documentation the day it releases.
what is the purpose of this when already existing 3rd party modding tools such as codewalker are already working on this? will this have the ability to upgrade escrow / tebex assets?
those who create assets themselves will just use codewalker as its what they already use, so i really dont see who this is benefiting? only use case i can see is if you buy something, but if it cannot upgrade encrypted assets this is completely useless
I agree and this announcement also made me think, basically why only now - there are already very well-known and used, constantly developing programs that have been warmly received by modders
Is it really worth it to port everything from legacy servers over?
Might aswell just ride GTA 5 Legacy out (with better performance allowing for more scripts/assets and players) until SixM/ROME is out
one word… ROCKSTAR. If you havnt noticed they are “remaking” everything themselves. Why not though right? You have the team to do it. Lets shut down all the 3rd parties and have it all in house. This makes me think they are gearing up for GTA 6 things as well. The new CFX Portal… Take away patreon and keymaster.
I know you guys wanna be bethesda so bad with ur new special edition…oops I mean enhanced edition but no one wants to waste their time with this crap
Is this going to be done through keymaster? I think there’s a lot of creators who lost access to their original unescrowed files and won’t ever be able to convert them, would be a problem as a lot of MLO makers won’t be able to convert.
I look forward to seeing what other changes and improvements are made over time!
