First of all, im not very experienced at making tutorials so ill get straight to the point.

Requirements:
OpenIV
MapEditor 2 YMap Converter

  1. Download the converter and put it in a folder somewhere.

  2. get a map editor xml file and put it in the same folder as the converter.

  3. Open the converter and open the xml by clicking file then open or just do Ctrl+O.

  8. Drag the ymap.xml file into openiv

  9. OpenIV should convert the ymap.xml files into proper ymaps.

  10. Drag the new ymaps back into the converter folder.

  11. make a new resource and put the ymap files into stream.

  12. Put this into _resource.lua

  13. install the resource into your server then run it.

  14. Your done! You should now be able to see your new objects.

Edit: The only downside is that converted maps will not have any vehicles, peds or teleporters in them. Sometimes if the map has doors, the doors will be static and wont move. Apparently the door issue will be fixed in a future version of the converter.

Edit: Code-walker can also be used to convert menyoo maps soon.

Edit: There are some issues with some objects like the stunt props refusing to appear in-game, i have no idea how to fix this at this time.

I tryed but couldnā€™t make the map load, this is compatible with fx server?

the script that goes in resource.lua is always the same?

you will have to change the manifest in the resource.lua to the latest version which you can find easily

Hey, i used the resource.lua from another map, and it worked for me.

Put this into _resource.lua

resource_manifest_version '77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5'

this_is_a_map 'yes'
Summary

Also, make a new resource folder inside resources, and inside it put the _resource.lua above and make a new folder named ā€œstreamā€ with the .ymap file inside.

So it would look like this:
This is a new resource
and inside stream:
This is inside stream folder

Then add start (resource name) to server.cfg and youā€™re good to go!
