Good afternoon,

can someone explain me how to install an addon weapon using lml? An example would be very appreciated.

I didn’t find a specific guide in the lml wiki so I have decided to create a new topic.

 

Thanks in advance to everyone who will help me.

I know this is late, but I saw this and was curious. I managed to successfully convert this: https://www.gta5-mods.com/weapons/ak-pistol-add-on-dlc

 

It's pretty simple really, if you know what you're doing. Basically, LML just creates a dlc.rpf, so if you mimic the dlc.rpf included with that file, you can easily convert it. First, I extracted all model files from weapons.rpf to a "stream" folder in LML. Then, I extracted all data files to a "data" folder. Next, I took all of the information from content.xml (which tells you what each data file is - I excluded ones that are not actually in the archive) and used it for the data file types in the LML install.xml. How many of these files are actually needed just to make an addon gun work, I do not know. Note that the global.gxt2 file is pulled from the lang file in the archive and also loaded with LML but is not in content.xml (the game loads lang files from the direct path within x64/data/lang instead of reading content.xml for the location).

 

Unfortunately, the author did not include a weaponcomponents.meta file with the download, meaning the magazine did not show, so I created one myself. They also included a weaponanimations.meta file with ALL of the weapons, instead of just their addon weapon, so I edited that. You can find both those files and the LML install.xml attached below.

 

This is ultimately the file setup:

Main folder:

 

data subfolder (some these are probably not necessary, such as the "spstats" ones and shop_weapon):

 

stream subfolder:

 

install.xmlweaponanimations.metaweaponcomponents.meta

 

I have put all this information in hopes that you, or other users finding this topic, will find it useful in using LML to install addon weapons yourself, however if you post a specific file here I can attempt to convert it when I have time.

Thank you very much for your help!
