Overview#

Cloth Tool is a standalone Windows app for building GTA V addon clothing packs for FiveM and singleplayer. Import your .ydd / .ytd files, preview them on a real freemode ped, optimize the textures, and export a ready‑to‑drop resource — all from one window.

What it does#

• Live 3D preview — see your garment on an actual mp_m / mp_f freemode ped, with your own textures applied, before you build anything.
• One‑click packaging — outputs a clean FiveM stream resource with correct GTA naming and a generated fxmanifest.lua.
• Texture optimization — resize to power‑of‑two, recompress to the right BCn format and generate mipmaps automatically.
• Cloth Doctor — catches broken naming, missing textures and limit overflows before they crash your server.
• Durty import — open your existing Durty Cloth Tool (.dctproj) projects and keep working.
• Team collaboration — built‑in Git source control and version history so a whole team can work on one pack.
