FiveM Players:

Our .YCD animations and poses can be used in FiveM and singleplayer (SP). However, these instructions are for SP (singleplayer) only.

There are a variety of methods which can be used to access .YCD files in FiveM. You can find FiveM tutorials on how to use the various methods on YouTube.

If this is your first time installing .YCD files to your FiveM server, I recommend watching FiveM tutorial videos on a few of the different methods as some methods may be easier to learn than others.

Important Information

For successful installation of our .YCD files, we recommend following our instructions exactly as written. If you choose to not follow our instructions and you have an unsuccessful installation, we will ask that you follow our instructions before troubleshooting any issues that you may have.

We recommend verifying that all necessary prerequisites for this installation have been installed correctly and are functioning as expected before installing us .YCD files.

Prerequisites

List of prerequisites to have installed before following this tutorial:

• OpenIV (Link: https://openiv.com/?cat=23)

• customanims dlcpack (for singleplayer). (Link: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/custom-animations-add-on-customanims)

• Menyoo (for singleplayer) (Link: https://github.com/MAFINS/MenyooSP/releases)

You will need to have the customanims dlcpack installed. If you do not have the customanims dlcpack already installed, you can download a fresh copy from GTA5-Mods. Installation instructions are provided on GTA5-Mods. The URL Link to the customanims dlcpack is: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/custom-animations-add-on-customanims

To use the animations in-game, I recommend using Menyoo. You can use other mod menus that have the functionality to support animations/poses (.ycd files), but these instructions will be provided for singleplayer Menyoo only. If you do not have Menyoo already installed, you can download the most recent version of Menyoo from GitHub. The URL link to the Menyoo GitHub is: https://github.com/MAFINS/MenyooSP/releases Installation instructions are provided with the files, but if you are having difficulties installing Menyoo, you can watch the many YouTube tutorials which demonstrate how to install and use Menyoo.

Step #1: Install .YCD file(s) to your game files

Install via OpenIV

In this step, you will find the instructions for installing the .YCD files to your game.

1. Open the dlc.rpf for customanims

   • Located here: [ mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > customanims > dlc.rpf ]

2. Add the provided .ycd files to both of the directories listed below:

   • Directory #1 (clip_amb@.rpf):

     • Located here: [ mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > customanims > dlc.rpf > x64 > anim > ingame > clip_amb@.rpf ]

   • Directory #2 (clip_mp_.rpf):

     • Located here: [ mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > customanims > dlc.rpf > x64 > anim > ingame > clip_mp_.rpf ]

Step #2: Add the .YCD file(s) to Menyoo (FavouriteAnims.xml)

In this step, you will find the instructions for adding the .YCD (files) to Menyoo.

1. Open the Menyoo file (FavouriteAnims.xml)

   • Located here: [ Grand Theft Auto V > menyooStuff > FavouriteAnims.xml ]

2. Update the Menyoo file (FavouriteAnims.xml) with the installed .YCD file(s)

   • Open this file [Menyoo FavouriteAnims LinesToAdd.xml]

   • Copy all line(s) provided in this file [Menyoo FavouriteAnims LinesToAdd.xml]

   • Add the line(s) provided in the [Menyoo FavouriteAnims.xml] file to the Menyoo file (FavouriteAnims.xml)

     • On the last line (located at the bottom of the Menyoo file (FavouriteAnims.xml)

       • This last line should be a line that starts with [ <Anim dict= ] and ends with [ /> ] on the same row.

     • At the end of this last line, press the enter key to create a new row.

       • On this newly created line, ensure that the text cursor is at the beginning of the line and has no empty spaces.

         • If there are empty spaces, use your backspace key to remove these empty spaces and bring the text cursor to the beginning of the row.

         • If there are no empty spaces, no further action is required for this step.

       • Paste the line(s) that were provided in this file [Menyoo FavouriteAnims LinesToAdd.xml]

       • Save your changes to the Menyoo file (FavouriteAnims.xml)

   Step #3: Use the .YCD file(s) in-game with Menyoo

   In this step, you will find instructions for using the .YCD file(s) with your player ped while in-game.

1. Open the Menyoo mod menu (Default Key: F8)

2. Navigate to [ Player Options ] and press enter.

3. Navigate to [ Animations ] and press enter.

4. Navigate to [ Favourites ] and press enter.

5. Navigate to the bottom of your [ Favourites ] list.

   • The .YCD file(s) that you installed should be located at the bottom of this list.

6. IMPORTANT (Last Step): In the [ Settings ] for the Animations category, set the Flag to < Loop >

   • Doing this will make the .YCD file continuously loop.

   • If the Flag was set to < Normal > the animation will be stopped after the first playback which will cause your player to revert to its normal state.
