Top Mod ! First manual Installation failed, Second worked. The Author did one of the best Installation Guides for Manual Install with all the Lines that have to be added to all files, so that this mod is compatible with other famous mods.

I recommend to extract the ymt files as XML file via Open IV to your Desktop. Then make the edits in the extracted XML.
1. When you have edited the XML press Control/Strg + a to highlight everything
2. Then press Control/Strg +c to copy everything
3.Click on edit the YMT File inside OpenIV,
4.Deleate everything in the YMT file and copy over the whole text from the XML File by pressing Control/Strg + V
5. Save the Ymt File and no errors will happen.

@WolfFire23309 SOUNDS GREAT ! Your models are awesome and have a lot of variety. Btw what does the strawberry.ymt in the update.rpf/x64/levels/gtav/scenario trigger ? Asking becuase this data have been replaced by the 5 Real mod i am using.
Same i want to ask about the 2 scenario ymt files davis and strawberry in the x64a folder ?

Will it cause problems when i don´t install them and what are those 2 files triggering ?

And Lastly, I wanted to ask if the addonped corpses can also be somehow prevented from despawning. i am using this mod which i really enjoy, but it does not seem to work for the addon peds https://de.gta5-mods.com/scripts/persistent-corpses

@Derandy123 No it won't cause any problems if you don't install them. It will simply just remove the scenario points that these gangsters use, so if it doesn't exist then they won't spawn there. You can still always just spawn them with a trainer which I think works better anyways! I'm not sure about the corpse removal as I don't know if they have to be listed inside the script itself as a model in order to be kept there. Sometimes modders make their scripts based off of the peds already present in the game. Maybe that script does this and does not take into account addon peds. I would ask that mod author what their script does with addon peds and if they can make a future update to work with them.

@WolfFire23309 very cool, but blood decals are not showing up on torso and legs. Did i installed it correclty ? On the head it worlks. I made a comparison video about bllod on default peds and the gangster peds. 0.58 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlvlPHJWves

@Derandy123 They do have blood effects, but they may not be as perfect as GTA V as I am still relatively new to the blood mapping of GTA IV models. Sometimes the blood mapping, for example, does not show up on the middle of the body, but may show up on the sides. I have looked up tutorials myself, but no one has explained it just yet. The only reason I got it to work at all is because of a person named Mentossini who simply mentioned it was channel 2 in dm. That's all I have been going off of since lol

@WolfFire23309 Thx for your answer, i could not find a tutorial aswell. i am kinda unexperianced and i am looking forward to your tutorial on how to add blood textures to custom addonpeds. The soaked blood works, just the decals not show up on legs and torso. Could the decals be something that have to be edited in the ymt file with the ymt editor ?

@Derandy123 Not to my current knowledge no. It's all got to do with the model itself and what is edited within either 3ds max or Blender. Like illumination for example, the model in 3ds max must have the correct alpha color and must be set to top bar pink and low bar either white or black for certain models in order to work. You could have a texture looking perfect for the illumination, but it won't activate in game for the model till you set the material and alpha color correctly. It's the same for the blood effects of characters that aren't in GTA V originally. GTA IV character's blood tends to look stretched and not perfect as you saw in game, and I haven't found a work around yet for it. However, other models outside of the GTA games seem to have better blood decals when you assign for them to have it in 3ds max, so I am not sure what's up with that lol.

@WolfFire23309 https://de.gta5-mods.com/player/ambient-female-ped-pack-add-on-replace This guy who made this mod have very accurate blood mapping. Only peds i have found so far. Maybe he could share his secrets.

@Derandy123 Yeah I noticed that a while back, but apparently, he uses Blender and zmodeler to do it. We have Blender but I am not too sure how to model much on that yet. I don't have zmodeler and he said that's needed to edit the mapping separately. As you have to go through each body part of the model and add it manually via the vertex mapping tool of zmodeler. I am not sure how to do that or if I'll have the added time to do it for all the models I plan to make. I might leave that part up to those who find my model edits so far and want to edit it themselves. I'm totally fine with people updating my models and correcting some issues where I'm making lots of conversions from GTA IV to GTA V. I will still make a video at least showing how to add some blood mapping that I know how to do currently as it's not too difficult. I will record that video as soon as I have time to do it this week. I got a bit of class work now at home thanks to the amount of snow where I live, and campus being cancelled. So, I'm just having to get that done before I can record what I need to. I'll send the link here to you once I finish it!

hey i used the heap adjuster and the limited adjuster and the latest gameconfig but it still keeps crashing on the loading screen do yk anything i can do to fix this problem?

@5stargdot Hey there, so I think I made a mistake a while back when I uploaded this mod. I believe the peds.ymt file is not working and this is because I used the base vanilla one and added the models into it. This I didn't realize causes crashes as you have to manually export the peds.ynt file via codewalker and add the lines that way before importing it back in. I only realized this a few weeks ago and haven't had time to fix it. This is probably what happened for my Italian Mafia as well. But for the time being as I'm working on these updates in between college classes and work. You can install the models on their own with their voices while using a tool like addon peds. If you have an already modded peds.ymt file that allows for edits then if your skilled enough in meta/ymt editing then you can add my modded lines for the model's info into it that way manually. Sorry for the mod being a problem as I never intended it to be. I do have a way easier way of making these mods installable now though. I just need to put it together and that takes time on my part. I promise to fix it soon though 🙏.

@WolfFire23309 Ok ty sm and take ur time and love ur mods keep up the good work:)

@5stargdot I updated it, only it's gotta wait for the approval from moderators. It should be a lot easier to install now though, and crashes are pretty much nonexistent so far! Hope you enjoy it when everything gets updated and approved!

Fye!

You are cool man. A perfectionist.

@Pro Gaming FF @ChunkyYaBoi Yo I appreciate you guys!! Hope you all enjoy the mod and have an amazing day! 🔥 🐺🔥

@WolfFire23309 ok ty sm, so it wont most likely crash when i use the oiv file?

@5stargdot No it shouldn't, just make sure you got the addon ped helpers like a good gameconfig, heap adjuster, and packfile limit adjuster as it never hurts to have those installed. It doesn't matter what gameconfig you use either as simply raising anything size related from the base gameconfig is a huge help in making the game run better anyways. Just be sure to read the text files in the download archive as you will have to manually install the peds pack into your dlcpacks of openiv and add the required line into you dlclist.xml file. I couldn't include those two things in the OIV.

@WolfFire23309 ok sounds good ty sm :)

@Derandy123 @Mentossini Hey Mentossini and Derandy, I wanted to go ahead and let you both know that I created a tutorial video showcase for rigging these GTA IV models into GTA V. I also covered blood effect editing and how to get it to at least show up on these models. Hope it helps you both out and sorry for the late upload as I have been busy with college classes, life, and work. Hope you both are doing well!
