HOW to steam YMT file [vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt]

[outsider310]

hello trying to stream this file vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt’

this is what it does IN SP

is to remove the glare around the city/rest of the map which I was able to do for SP

I put a folder called glare in my resources folder, inside I create a stream folder and placed the file vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt.
in the fxmanifest.lua

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5' 


PTFXASSETINFO_FILE 'stream/vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt'
files {
    'stream/vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt'
}

i have tried > replace_level_meta ‘stream/vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt’
and still doesnt work in fiveM

does anyone know how? do I need to convert the file? or which key to use?

the reason is a run a blackout mode server.

Remember that if using a data file, it should be

data_file 'PTFXASSETINFO_FILE' 'stream/vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt'

just tried that and still didn’t work…

PTFXASSETINFO_FILE

Which would still be wrong, this is a VFXFOGVOLUMEINFO_FILE, which isn’t part of a data file mounter, but is in gta5.meta so can be loaded using a replacement world meta file.

this is my first attempt to do something like this, so I’m using the wrong file?

A .ymt file is technically a meta file, and to stream meta files to the client you have to declare a data_file type in the resource manifest. Only the types from this list will work, others wont, meaning you can’t stream the “vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt” file.

Like deterministic_bubble said, it is in gta5.meta, which you can find by searching gta5.meta in OpenIV. Right-click it, select “Save content/Export…” and save it anywhere. Then open it with any text-editor and remove the part where it says “vfxfogvolumeinfo” like so:

After that, put the “gta5.meta” file into it’s own resource, and add this to the “fxmanifest.lua” file:

replace_level_meta "gta5"

files {
    "gta5.meta"
}

Note: Some of this might be explained wrong, but I got it to work on my test server.
