🚀 Going beyond Menyoo’s limits​

For many years now, Menyoo has been the best tool for interacting with GTA V to setup scenes and create content. In recent years, Menyoo photo creation went from a small hobby, to a massive community with many Discords being made to create custom-made mods for Menyoo users.

Menyoo would not be as popular as it is already if it wasn’t a great tool - however, there’s a few problems & difficulties all Menyoo users are familiar with:

🚫 Menyoo’s limits​

  1. Major updates break Scripthook, Menyoo, and the rest of your mods.
    1. Needing to wait approx a week for a new Scripthook update, or downgrading, and then needing to fix all your mods.
  2. Certain tasks take a lot of time, entering & exiting many menus to do:
    1. Searching, finding & previewing animations.
    2. Positioning & rotating characters, animations, & objects.
    3. Navigating between various menus and different options in Menyoo.
    4. Setting up characters to look in certain directions takes multiple steps with the Task Sequencer + Object Spooner.
  3. Needing to exit the main game to load Rockstar Editor to setup paused poses for photos.
    1. Also making sure you remember to delete all peds/objects nearby before doing so!
  4. Various patches are needed to get the game working (packfile limit adjuster, heap limit adjuster, gameconfig, resource adjuster & more).

🤯 Imagine if…​

  • after game updates, you don’t need to wait for a Scripthook update to fix your game.
  • your mods did not break as much between updates.
  • it became a whole lot easier & FAST to setup animations & scenes perfectly.
  • you didn’t need to slowly press keyboard buttons hundreds of times to move characters/anims/objects around.
  • you could jump between menus in an instant.
  • you did not need to completely exit the main game to go to Rockstar Editor to create photos.

You don’t need to imagine much longer — it’s about to happen.

🆕 mpyoo features…​

mpyoo is a remade version of Menyoo, built as an easy to install server script rather than a singleplayer mod. It features…

🌐 New, re-built UI​

mpyoo is rebuilt from the ground up with web UI that makes it easier to quick-edit things in game, by adding advanced slider controls, quick search tools, 3D position editing, pause control tools, advanced task editors, and much, much more.

🚫 Zero Scripthook​

mpyoo does not require the same Scripthook that Menyoo needs. Instead, new updates are supported in 40m-1 hour, rather than 3-7 days.

🔄 3D Editing​

If you're familiar with Menyoo, you'll be used to the way you need to move things around in-game. You're limited to moving coordinates by one coordinate at a time. mpyoo introduces a 3D movement tool to get around this:

💃 Anim quick search, stacking, move/rotate, pausing​

mpyoo MASSIVELY upgrades how you work with animations:

🔄 Anim 3D Editing​

You can move and rotate animations with our 3D mouse movement tool, so you don’t need to manually move X, Y, Z one step at a time.

🔍 Animation Search​

Searching for anims is now real-time, so you don’t need to jump back and forth through menus to find results.

➕ Animation Stacking (normal + upper)​

You gain the ability to quickly toggle between standard and upper body animation settings, making it easy to combine animations.

⏸ Anim Pause Tool​

Animations can be paused at specific frames - and paused separately. You can edit the standard & upper animation separately and setup custom, bespoke poses.

💪 Anim Arm Morphing​

You're able to hijack and override your arm position, allowing you to both customise arms and also fix clipping issues with modded clothes & torsos.

📦 Object & Vehicle Animations​

Why stop at just player/NPC animation? mpyoo introduces object & vehicle animations, so you can apply animations to objects & vehicles too.

⚙️ Use your own mods, stop them from breaking​

Your own mods - like clothes, hairs, animations, vehicles, can be installed into a folder within mpyoo. You will no longer need to duplicate your whole update.rpf, and replace the entire update.rpf every time a game update breaks them. You just put all your mods separately into mpyoo’s folder. You don’t need the dlclist.xml either - mods get loaded automatically.

server-files

client_packages

game_resources

  • dlcpacks(where most add-ons are)
  • raw(replaces original files by name)
  • common(override original game files)
  • x64(replace existing RPFs)

(click folders to view files)

This means that when the game updates you can simply continue playing as if nothing happens. That’s it.

info

If you're an existing RageMP player, you might be used to user_resources ArchiveFix. When you install your own mpyoo server, you no longer require it: mpyoo and RageMP takes care of it automatically and instantly.

🎮 Multiplayer or Solo Support​

All of the above features & the other mpyoo features shown elsewhere work in multiplayer! mpyoo allows you to setup a modloader on your own computer for solo play, or you can host mpyoo on a remote server, letting you collaborate with friends in a modded multiplayer environment.

We also have a public server, mpyoo.xyz, for you to easily check out mpyoo!

📥 Easy install​

You don't need to be a coder/programmer to install mpyoo. It's drag & drop — just like a mod. Not only this, there's less steps than Menyoo - you don't need to bring all the various additional patches.

😮 ...and a lot more.​

We'll be covering all these features in a lot more depth once the official launch is reached!

⛔ What are mpyoo's limitations?​

So, what doesn't work currently?

  • RageMP's EAC anticheat blocks ReShade with full addons from working.
  • Singleplayer scripts (.asi, .dll) do not work in mpyoo. File changes/add-ons work fine though.
  • How NPC sync works in Scene Creator has some limits, but we'll be able to patch a lot of it to work.

🌐 mpyoo enters public alpha​

mpyoo is now entering public alpha testing. We're looking for players who can help us test mpyoo's features to provide feedback & identify any bugs. Currently there are two ways to play mpyoo's alpha:

  • Playing our public server is a quick way to check out mpyoo's features and collaborate with friends, but it has limited clientside modding support.
  • Setting up your own server is very easy and means you can practically copy and paste certain dlcpacks straight into your server files.
    • You can run it on your own computer and have total flexibility over what mods you use. There's no need for long-winded techniques like ArchiveFix!
    • You can also host mpyoo on a remote server instead of your computer, letting you collaborate with friends whilst using your own mods.

🧪 What happens in the public alpha?​

mpyoo has been in development for quite some time now. While we've tested a lot of the common features very frequently, there's likely several bugs & quirks that might be missed until a larger number of people start using it.

It's now time for mpyoo to go public and we're looking forward to getting some feedback from the community!

🏃🏽‍♀️ So — ready to get started?​

Check out our getting started guide to get started!

💎 Subscription perks coming after launch​

During testing and for the initial release weeks, mpyoo will be completely free to use. After that, a subscription plan inspired by NaturalVision ENB's patreon will be introduced.

More details will follow, but don't worry - mpyoo will aim to provide a completely upgraded version of Menyoo entirely for free. Ultimately the aim is that if you're a photo/video scene creator, the free version of mpyoo should provide a better scene creation toolset by default.

mpyoo will remain publicly available for everyone, and several advanced perks will be available to those who subscribe. This will help push mpyoo's development even further and allow us to introduce some really advanced tech that will cost us money to host & maintain on our side. Stay tuned, as several of these features will provide groundbreaking changes for content creation!
