[Solved] Scripted YMap and YBN loading problem.

[LeeC22]

So I have ended up back doing stuff in GTAV (not something I wanted to do) and have a problem I just can't solve.

 

I wanted to convert an addon map so that I could switch it on and off with a script. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, the static collision loads by default and only disappears if I load and then unload the YMap.

 

The YMap flags are set to 3, which causes the main YMap to work by script, so that seems fine. Codwalker suggested a flags setting of 2 but I don't consider that a 100% reliable source of info, I have tried 1 and 3 based on Dekurvinator's website but the end result was the same.

 

I have added the MapDataGroups to the _manifest.ymf as follows, that's based on the info on Dekurvinator's website.

 

  <MapDataGroups>
    <Item>
      <Name>dousojin_touge</Name>
      <Bounds>
        <Item>dousojin_touge_col</Item>
      </Bounds>
      <Flags/>
      <WeatherTypes/>
      <HoursOnOff value="0"/>
    </Item>
  </MapDataGroups>

 

The addon pack currently has two folders, a dousojin_touge.rpf and a dousojin_touge_metadata.rpf. I have tried various combinations of files/folders and have even tried putting everything into one folder in the way some of the Cayo Perico island data is done.

 

Content.xml is as follows:

along with the setup.xml

Changing the settings in content.xml seemed to have no effect on what was happening in-game.

 

I also tried removing the static collision to make sure that there was no embedded collisions causing the problem and I fell through the map, so that seems okay.

 

This is a simple addon, it's a single YMap, a single YBN, a single YTYP and the collection of YDR & YTD files. But I just can't stop this static collision from loading. It must be possible because Cayo Perico exists and it's probably something blatantly obvious... but maps are not my thing and I just can't see where the error is.

 

Can anyone see the problem, or know what causes this problem?

 

Here's a short video with a more visual representation of the problem. You can see that there is no visible map but the collision is there when I land. Once I have loaded and unloaded the map, the helicopter can fall because the collision has gone.

Hmmm, I think I have solved this.

 

I originally had the <contentFlags> in the YMap set to 2 because the objects were LOD objects, I had also tried it with 0 and 1 and neither had worked. Setting the <contentFlags> to 3 however, seems to have done the job.

 

According to the info on Dekurvinator's website, that would indicate that the flags in operation are:

 

<contentFlags value="1"/> in #map drawables without collision
<contentFlags value="2"/> LOD

 

With those flag settings, I was able to fly to the location in the above video and drop straight down without hitting the collision. When I then loaded the map, I was able to land on the ground.

 

So to summarise, in the YMap I have these settings:

 

  <flags value="3"/>
  <contentFlags value="3"/>
