Basic Ped YMT Editing - Part 6
Breaking Convention
And for those who finally got comfortable with the naming conventions used in GTA5 such as WTF do they call it Teef or Jbib, you will sometimes be surprised with terminology that uses words such as face or jacket. For example this model below.
Actually when it comes to respecting rules and conventions, this tutorial describes those the game peds adhere to. Addon ped mods however are another matter as mod creators often make up their own rules. For example, some will use legs to display glasses - not very intuitive to say the least.
However, the YMT file structure remains the same even for these rebels. Which brings us to one unfortunate point. Despite your best efforts, patience, and attention to detail, there is absolutely no guarantee changes you make will work with the model you are working on. Unless you can examine the model itself, ideally in Zmodeler (the tool most frequently used to create 3rd party peds), you can never fully understand the underlying structure of the model.
A Note About Streamed Peds
Contrary to popular belief streamed peds are not peds with their own Twitch channels. Streamed peds differ from Normal peds in that they have a folder containing many ytd and ydd files, 1 file for each different texture variation. Contrast that with Normal peds which only have 1 ytd file and 1 ydd file as containers for all the textures.
Streamed Peds however only have 1 ymt and 1 yft files as is the case for their Normal ped counterparts. Examples of Streamed Peds are player_zero (Michael), player_one (Franklin), and player_two (Trevor). The MP male and MP shemale are also streamed peds.
