THX !!!

Does anyone know how to fix this? when trying to load textures and importing new ones into texture tooling programme, the programme shuts down straight away. This happens all of the time

This application is dead, my recommendation is to use CodeWalker's RPF Explorer.

1. Enter the ydr or ytd file, (if it is ydr at the top there is an option that says: "Texture Editor" enter there to replace the texture),

2. Once the texture is replaced, save/export the ydr or ytd with the modification in an external folder

3. The ydr or ytd that you "exported" is entered into your mapping folder using OPEN IV

ps: If you do not do this last step, the file will not be saved

The dds file shows that it is there, but it simply cannot be imported and is not visible

As of October 2024, I can confirm that this tool still works however MANY of you are using it incorrectly.

@Faroon Watch this video to see if it helps you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc59x0ICa7Y

@ItsFiorelo oh hells ya!! Codewalker to the rescue. So easy! It just works. This 100% works.
- RPF explorer
- open folder, where my external ydr is
- Open the ydr
- texture editor
- Replace texture with my new .dds
- Close texture editor
- Save YDR

DONE!

@Zeuserx hey mate , can you convert a dds model to ytd and ydd if i give you? want it for rdr2

The gta v modding scene is straight up garbage

works, just make sure that the new .dds texture has the same name. I use Folder2YTD v0.4.0.2 to get .dds files.

Requires Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 x86, so download and install "vcredist_x86.exe." I have Windows 11 Pro 24H2, and that's the only thing that helped.

I have an issue with the tool. When trying to export a texture that has an unknown format the image does not export.

@zeuserx explain it a bit better. where is the texture editor?

@Neodymium I was able to fix the issue with exporting textures with an unknown format. I can send it to you if you would like to update the post with the new version.

does it exist a viewer-editor for Enhanced version?

Doesn't work for .yft so not very helpful

Pls make it compatible with enhanced version

Pls make it compatible with enhanced version

Doesn't work for .ypt's either.

If Texture Toolkit is crashing when importing or exporting textures, make sure the Visual C++ 2013 x86 runtime is installed, as that has fixed startup/import issues for some users. Also try backing up the original YTD/YDR first. For newer GTA V Enhanced files, CodeWalker’s RPF Explorer with its Texture Editor may be a better option, since this toolkit hasn’t been updated since 2016. http://characterconverter.com
