This is a minor "Quality of Life" update, including tons of fixes, improvements and smaller changes that will help you with your daily clothes modding work! :)
New icons & "support" for escrow / locked files
Lightbulb now indicates information for potential improvements to clothes and you are now able to add escrow locked files to your project and build it.

- Added some new discovered audio presets
- Added "support" for escrow / locked YDD files, you can add them now to your project and build them but it still needs escrow license file placement manually + doesnt work with adding escrow protected files from different packages as this would require multiple escrow licenses, which we dont know yet how it should work (Feel free to reach out to us if you know more)

📑Important Project Migration Note
This update changes the way your cloth project is saved and referenced cloth models and textures are managed internally.
Due to this change, on first time loading a older project, it will be automatically migrated to the new project format without any needed input from you. As this could take some while, you will be prompted with a dialog to confirm this.
In this process all your previously added, 'linked', clothes will be copied to a by Cloth Tool managed "data" folder.
Read more "technical information" about the changed project new projects formats in the end of this post.
✨Update highlights
This is the biggest cloth tool update so far, almost one year of work, lots of research and testing went into this. Thanks to every suggestion on this GitHub or my Discord and special thanks to the @Clothes-Experts that decided on helping testing and improving this version.
Lets dive into some of the highlighted features and additions of this new version.
🔎 3D Previewer
Introducing the 3D Preview Feature. This exciting new feature allows you to easily visualize and analyze your cloth models and textures in a whole new dimension. With the Cloth 3D Preview Feature, you can:
- Preview model and texture combinations with ease, using the context menu options, the preview button or by simply double clicking any item.
- Get a full preview of your ped models and see cloth models in motion, allowing you to test whether clothes are correctly rigged.
- Apply animations to your ped models and see the clothes in motion for an even more comprehensive analysis.
- Benefit from different render modes that help you identify any cloth model issues.
- Take advantage of the wireframe option to see the model structure, and the ped skeleton option to see the ped bones.
- Switch between different levels of detail (LOD) to preview the models in a range of resolutions.
- Explore the Models & Texture data tabs for a more in-depth analysis of your cloth models.
This feature is an essential tool for anyone looking to bring their models and textures to life and is sure to take your 3D modeling to the next level.
Example of male clothes, changing light direction, switching thru different Level of Details & animating ped
Example of female clothes, animating, showing grid, wireframe & only selected cloth
Example of different rendermodes allowing deeper texturing insights
Disclaimer: 3D preview based on CodeWalker Rendering Engine

Making it easier than ever to import files. With this new feature, you can:
- Effortlessly import files by simply dragging and dropping them into the tool, whether they're from Windows File Explorer, OpenIV, or CodeWalker.
- Save time and streamline your workflow by eliminating the need to manually export & import files one-by-one.
- Enjoy a more user-friendly and intuitive experience adding files from GTA V file explorers
Example of dragging and dropping files from OpenIV and CodeWalker
🗄️ Various new import & export formats
We're excited to announce a suite of new import and export file formats that make it easier than ever to work with clothes.
With this new update, you can:
- Enjoy faster workflows (especially when using Blender) with the addition of CodeWalker XML import and export support for cloth drawables and textures.
- Have more flexibility when editing your cloth textures with new DDS and PNG export options.
- Quickly add cloth textures straight from a image, from a variety of image formats including PNG, JPG, TGA, and BMP, which will automatically be converted to YTD.
Example of exporting to & importing from different new file formats: CodeWalker XML, PNG, DDS
🗃️ New projects format & file/data handling
All files related to a cloth project will be saved & managed in one single folder, that could easily be shared & does prevent accidentally building files to some unwanted location, deleting hundreds of files in advance (People selected Desktop as output and files got deleted there..).
- Durty Cloth Tool will manage all files added to your project on its own, which takes you the hassle to manage all imported files on your own and removes cases where you accidentally deleted a file used in any of your cl...

Update highlights
This update contains a lot of fixes that improve the overall experience with the tool and should resolve many of the reported issues I received.
Besides many small additions, this update also contains some big new additions that I will highlight below.
Crash fixes, fixes and more fixes
Thanks to all reports the past weeks, many of the issues that people experienced got fixed with this update. Including many things that possibly caused game crashes.
Please keep in mind I am not able to fix the crashes and issues caused by loading too many .YMT files in the latest game DLC / update. This limit has to be increased either bei R Games themselves on the next updates or by the multiplayer platform of your choice.
Anyway I have added an option that disables the generation of extra .YMTs that are needed to make high heels, cutting hairs and other stuff possible. Using this can help you shrink down the amount of .YMT files generated, but will make the listed features not work anymore.
See this wiki article for more information regarding the game *.YMT limit
Addon Tattoos
This update introduces the first version of being able to easily manage your addon tattoos with the tool. By pressing Add in the tool, you will receive a list of options which now include "Add tattoo". Tattoos can be created from whatever image file you prefer; *.png, *.jpg, *.dds, *.tga, *.bmp or even .ytd files from already existing tattoos. The tool will automatically optimize your tattoo images for the game and create all needed files that are needed. In the game the item Name will represent the tattoo hash / name and the collection name is represented by the name you have gave the collection in the build window.
Item warnings
From now on you will see possible warnings for your cloth items in form of an exclamation mark directly in front of the related item. This helps finding cause of issues ahead of time faster and more reliable.
Build progress bar & cancel builds
To improve the cloth building experience I have added a build progress indicator, which will give you detailed information about the current state of build and the possibility to cancel the build at any time. Additionally the application remains responsive at any time.
Cloth physics & Audio presets
You can now add related *.YLD files for your clothes, which basically describe physics movement for your clothes.
Additionally I have added the possibility to the define an audio preset for your clothes. You will be able to select from all the currently existing audio presets for your drawable type of choice. This will for example change the sound of your shoes when you are walking to proper high heel sounds and similar.
Full Changelog:
- Fixed issues with *.ymt files compression (That could lead to game crashes in some cases)
