    • https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/2009-acura-tl-replace
  • Paste the copied link into the "Add to queue" textbox, and then press the "Add to queue" button.
  • You can repeat this however many times you'd like, then when you are finished, you can just press the "Start" button
  • Go grab yourself a drink while this finished it's magic, and then you should find the finished resources in the folder the .exe is located in

Information:

  • If any of the outputted folders are empty, just a __resource.lua file and the stream folder, the program was unable to find a .rpf file and the vehicle is incompatible with this tool.
  • The speed of the conversion process depends on your hardware and your network connection.
  • The NConvert folder IS nessecary for the texture downsizer to work.

Please say you’re at least resizing/warning for oversized textures/drawables, right?

Theres an error when i try to do it.

4

is it only for vehicles or for any resource?

5

I am indeed, there is a checkbox for automatically resizing oversized texture dictionaries that get unpacked.

This looks really promising. Could you possibly add a feature to split the YTDs instead of compressing them? If the vehicle is very very large, compressing the textures can make it look really bad.

I’ve had that idea in mind a while, I’ll make sure to implement this asap!

I’m working on changing to use fxmanifest as I write this!

13

This works now! This is very clean. Works now and no problems. It would be good to support fxmanifest instead of resource.lua.

indeed, I’ll try to get a build supporting fxmanifest out today, and if you don’t mind, could you tell me how you solved the issue, in case it happens to anyone again, thanks!

I just ran it with administrator perms. That worked atleast for me!

thank you! I’m guessing that’s it’s the unpacking that requires administrator, I’ll look into it.

edit: was there any errors, or did it simply just not launch?
