Build

You can create an exe from the source scripts with npm run package, though one has already been supplied in this Repository in the RPF-Packager folder

Usage

• Grab the latest release from https://github.com/test137E29B/RPF-Packager/releases
• In the input folder, create a folder with the name you want your DLC Pack to have, for example MYDLCPack. This has to be unique as it'll be used as the DLC hashname etc.
• In your newly created folder, create a folder called interior (or int). This is where you will place all your files for MLO Interiors. Do not place non-MLO files in here.
• In your newly created folder, create a folder called props. This is where you will place all your files for regular maps (such as ymaps in the world). Do not place MLO interior files in here.
• You will need a correctly generated _manifest file no matter which you are using, you can create this with CodeWalker.
• Run index.exe to package your DLC Pack (You can create multiple folders and package multiple DLC Packs at once!). The Max size of this DLCPack is 4GB - you can package multiple packs together in a single DLCPack if you like!
• In output you will find your folder with a dlc.rpf inside of it. The tool will have automatically generated all the files it needs, so you do not need to edit this rpf! :)

You can use these DLC Packs in RageMP 1.1 without affixing, or RageMP 0.3 with affixing via RageMp's plugin, or manually. These have not been tested with Base GTA V or RageMP 0.3. For GTA V Story Mode you should be fine without affixing.

Notes

• GTAUtil.exe is used here, and so sometimes may ask for your GTA V Installation Path.
• After a GTA V Update, you should head to RPF-Packager/utils and open a command prompt, using the command ./GTAUtil.exe buildcache. This will ask for your GTA V path, and could take up to 30 minutes to create the cache of new GTA V Files. It's not really needed for this tool, but GTAUtil has a lot of other cool features.
