FAQ

Do I need Blender, Sollumz or CodeWalker?

No. Modlo Creator writes every game file itself (drawables, collision, the MLO archetype, placement, the manifest and audio). If you want to take a model further somewhere else, it can also export CodeWalker XML and glTF.

What do I need to use it?

A Windows 10 or 11 PC (or a 64-bit Linux PC, as a beta) with Grand Theft Auto V for PC installed. Modlo Creator reads the game’s props, textures and buildings from your own installation; no game files are downloaded or shipped with it. See Installation and setup.

Does it work with FiveM?

Yes. The export is a complete resource folder with an fxmanifest.lua. Copy it into your server’s resources folder, start it and walk in. See Testing on your FiveM server.

Does it work with GTA V Enhanced?

The export can write for GTA V Enhanced as well as Legacy: choose Game in the Export window, Legacy, Enhanced or Both for one resource that works on either game. Enhanced files go in a stream_enhanced folder, as FiveM expects. The Enhanced export has not been tried in game yet. See GTA V Legacy and Enhanced.

Can I put an interior inside an existing building?

Yes. Pick the building by its in-game coordinates, then cut doors and windows through its model and collision. You can also make teleport interiors with an entrance anywhere in the world. See A walk-in interior.

Can I use my own models and textures?

Yes. Import .glb / .gltf models as props, and PNG, JPEG, TGA or DDS images as textures. They are embedded in the export.

Can I edit an exported interior in CodeWalker or Sollumz?

Export it as CodeWalker XML and open that. glTF and CodeWalker XML exports cannot be imported back into Modlo Creator, so keep the project as the source.

Can I sell the interiors I make?

Yes, what you build is yours. You are responsible for following the rules of Rockstar Games and Cfx.re when you share or sell resources. See the Terms of Service.

How many computers can I use it on?

One. A licence works on one PC at a time. To move it to a new PC, deactivate the old one in Modlo Creator (Help > Licence) or from your customer portal, then activate it on the new one.

Does it need an internet connection?

Only to activate and to check the licence now and then. After a successful check it keeps working offline for up to 14 days.

Is there a Linux version?

Yes, as a beta. Modlo Creator runs on 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and newer, Fedora, Arch and others) as an AppImage. It is built and tested, but has had less use on real desktops than the Windows version, so please report anything that does not work. Set up GTA V finds the game installed through Steam (Proton, Flatpak, Snap), Lutris, Heroic, Bottles or a Wine prefix, or you type the folder. See Linux (beta).

Can I use Blender’s keys?

Yes. Preferences > Controls switches to the Blender scheme (middle-drag orbit, G / R / S, X deletes, numpad views), and every key can be rebound. Mesh edit mode uses Blender’s keys in both schemes. See Keyboard shortcuts.

Is the interface available in other languages?

Yes: English, plus German, French and Brazilian Portuguese (machine-translated). These docs are in English for now.

Is Modlo Creator made by Rockstar Games?

No. Modlo Creator is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or Cfx.re.
