Peds are named just like in the original game with the "SK_" prefix
for example Ryder is SK_csryder.uasset.
Cutscene characters are located in: /Game/SanAndreas/Cutscene/Characters/
and Peds in: /Game/SanAndreas/Characters/Peds/

I also constantly get Exported 0/0 objects in 0.0 sec

Not on every file though. I exported a texture and that worked fine. When I try to export a streetlight (uasset) then it happens

 And Car Models? It seems they have multiple locations, wheels in one, interior in another, bodyshell etc.

Cars have "SKR_" prefix followed my their name from the original game. For example Greenwood is SKR_greenwoo.uasset. And the wheel is a separated model with this name structure: "SM_greenwoo_wheel.uasset
They are in:
/Game/SanAndreas/Vehicles/

Is it possible to mipmap the the textures like this? How would I go about that?

For now, this seems to be the only way. 
Let's hope we'll have smaller and easier tools in the future for this game.

is there a way to export the 3d models?

Just like the textures.
Open Umodel and search for SK_/SM_/SKR_ files, those are the 3D models, and export them as ActorX (psk).


Then u can import it in 3DS Max using ActorX Importer.

Im wanting to create a texture mod for the default CJ outfit using this method but the textures I use are a little larger.. does the size and aspect ration have to remain the same for this to work? also, how can I use maps for roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion? Im not really familiar with UE4...

 

 

Nevermind... figured it out

I know I dont have to put it in .pak form to get this to work on my game, but say I want to make my textures into a mod to submit to a website. How can I get into .pak and have it work properly?

The radar is a camera just pointing at models of the map and uses materials. Heres how you can edit the map:

hi, an issue on my - I'm trying to edit cj face texture after exporting it from Umodel - I have edit the png (texture+normal) and then cook it with uengine - but as an output I get only the uasset files, and not the ubulk and uexp files like in your guide. what steps am I missing?

[TheOne2021]

Also some one know how i can fix this in Unreal Engine Editor 4.26 when import the Extracted from PAKs?

Code:

LogLinker: Warning: Failed to read package file summary, the file "O:/Unreal/TestProjects/GTA III Definitive Edition/Gameface/Content/GTA3\Maps\GTA3World\GTA3World.umap" is unversioned and we cannot safely load unversioned files in the editor.
LogAssetRegistry: Error: Package O:/Unreal/TestProjects/GTA III Definitive Edition/Gameface/Content/GTA3\Maps\GTA3World\GTA3World.umap is too old

can open the maps and so on of GTA  and mod them  


thank you so much

Old story, new guy. I did exactly as the tutorial asks, got the png's of the textures, edited them, made normal maps, put them into Unreal 4.26.2, cook the files and I don't get the .ubulk files in the content folder; I find them under Saved/Cooked/WindowsNoEditor/modname/Content and whenever I put the files into the Gameface/Content/SanAndreas/Textures/player as the tutorial states and try to load my game it gives me the "Corrupt data found, please verify your installation." error and freezes my game. could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

EDIT: I'm stupid and didn't goto the right folder it's working now. have this photo of me to make up for my wrong doing.
