Thank you for this tool!

@grzybeek. From the comments above some users are under the impression you can add drawables to existing peds (other than MP) by taking them from other ped mods. You can't. Even textures can be problematic. You might want to include that in your instructions, just a suggestion. Nice tool for creators.

Been using this for a few months now, glad to see it posted here! This tool is simply a life saver. When I started making peds, early 2021, we didn't have access to a tool like this so we had to export the YMT file to XML, then manually edit it on a note pad/code editor, which was a PAIIIN IN THE BUUUUTTT. A lot of trial and error, a lot of slowly changing things to see what works and how it works. People who are starting out now are SUPER LUCKY to have this tool, and I appreciate it a lot myself!

@JohnFromGWN It is possible to mix and match drawables, with very little tweaking! I've done it a few times. Textures were never a problem... More often than not, the problems I find are: 1) 3d model does not fit the new model and therefore makes no physical sense; 2) I forget to remove the skel from the added drawable and it bugs when in conflict with the main one

That being said, as long as the 3d model fits (masks are a good example, they almost always fit as long as it's same height peds) and you extract the drawable, delete or exchange the skel, and reexport it, you should be able to use it no problem.

@ItsMeLiana Yes of course, but many new users think that you can switch any clothes/or body parts from different peds - which as your wrote doesn't happen without similar or exact models. Although I don't create models, I did post a tutorial on how to edit them. This is a great tool, but I'm the text editor type of guy.

@JohnFromGWN I admire you sticking to text editor. There is already so much to be done via text editor, I am grateful some stuff are getting semi-automated. lol. Specially since it was very hard for my adhd brain to keep track of items within items within items within items in those xml files

@ItsMeLiana I admire you for creating models. And in this case, I agree, this tool is superior to a text editor because these xml files are incredibly confusing and require unrelenting focus and attention to detail. Given how long it takes for a heavily modded GTA5 game to load, you try to get your edits write the first time. Going to add this tool to my post.

@grzybeek I have some info on what the hash_2fD08CEF does, it basically denotes the sound file that will play for the type of shoe I.E. shoe_trainer, shoe_flip_flop, dress shoes, heavy boots, heels and so on.

Hope this helps, if not already known :)

Posted a tutorial from A to Z including the YMT Editor

thanks !

do we put this inside resources?

@xorebelious No. It's a tool. You don't put it in your resources folder. You drag and drop a ymt on the editor when open. Can be used for SP or FiveM.

Absolutely essential tool if you want to customize peds of player/MP models.

Is there any of your tool can rename clothes file all at once? because it take so much time on rename clothes file from FiveM to GTA V offline

This tool is useless. It crashes a lot. It seem to have also .xml opening ability but it cannot open xml files too. What a garbage :/

@grzybeek

Thanks for this tool it helped a great deal in a project I was working on. Something I was curious about, I see in someones mod pack they have peds that sometime spawn with their helmet. Like 1 in 3. How do I make them always spawn with a helmet?

Shuts down right after I open ped.ymt file

@grzybeek Hey, is there any reason this program attempts to connect to the internet every time you use and and will just not run if you denny the connection with a firewall?

How to change the sound of footsteps? Like shoes, sandals, and such?

Best tool
