Introducing Catalyst

Today we’re excited to introduce Catalyst, a new tool for creating and editing particle effects (.ypt files) for GTAV Legacy and GTAV Enhanced.

Built using a node-based workflow where effects are assembled and controlled through interconnected nodes, Catalyst is an all-in-one tool for creating/editing particle effects for GTAV and FiveM, where you can preview your particles in a real-time game simulation window.


Catalyst supports import and export workflows, allowing you to bring existing .ypt files into your projects and export completed particle effects when you’re ready. Catalyst also uses its own project format, making it easy to save your progress, pick up where you left off, or share your work with your co-devs.

You can download Catalyst for free here within the Cfx Portal. Detailed documentation for Catalyst can be found here.

To report any bugs you find in Catalyst, please submit a bug report here. You can also share any feedback with us here.


Stay tuned for more platform updates coming soon!

I’d probably do a better smoke grenade for FiveM PvP mode or something like this, but you are not limited: fireworks, a fountain of blood upon hitting a player (if you like it), etc.
