very good and usefultool! . . i thought it wasn't working at first , and yes dragging doesn't work .. but when you manually click file and load the file (.yft , .ydr) that you want to edit there it works . . the author should somehow let the people know it .

I used this to edit bus stops a while back and it worked perfectly. I am trying to edit a ydr file and which I did, but it won't show up in the game

for some reason when I export a dds, they just dont show up in the folder I exported them into

@JAM102970 i think theoretically we can change every embedded images inside any files like .yft or .ydr , just be sure to name your replacement files to the exact same name of the embedded image and also same resolution like the embedded image otherwise it will not work.

@jamesays Thanks for your reply, I was able to modify the yft files I wanted to modify weeks ago with this tool. I downloaded this Texture Tool directly from the main website though. This tool is very simple to use and very useful, a lot simpler to use than ZModeler3

It's does not import DDS files. And sometimes crash.

Crashes!

I use this to replace dds. files embedded into yft. files. Openiv currently does not support this.

1. Put the contents of this folder in a folder on your desktop.
2. Open file you want to replace dds.
3. Import new dds. file.
4. Save.

It works. Great tool. Thanks.

crashed

very good!!!!

working fine, no crash, tested on yft files

I've noticed certain .ydr's and.ytd's don't like to open at all, and the program crashes after trying to load them by any method. Not sure what makes this happen though, and it's fairly rare.
It's likely due to the file itself though, rather than the program itself.
Great program either way.

When i import a Texture the Program starts to crash!

As soon as i try to open a ydr file the program just closes/Crashes

I can't import dds file because inside the ydr the file is named with ":/" (invalid characters).....any solution?

saving these files only results on the entire file being delete and saved over with 0kb of data.

@goal1664 does the official gta files have those characters? if not then its a modelers fault to name with invalid characters since this program does not accept it.

@jamesays Yes it's a modeler fault, but if the program will allow to rename the files, the problem vanishing!

@Coffe i am pretty sure that this tool works all in every official gtaV .ydr/yft file that the game is having, it is intended for substituting embedded textures only so when you want to swap your texture make sure you name it same name with the texture you want to replace. . don't expect it to work with un official model like that been created by modders bcoz we dont know why it dont work , like we dont know if its locked or something. . I believe this is one of the top essential tools for modding so please people don't just rate it low without realizing the purpose of this Very Good TooL :)

@jamesays Okey
