mpyoo

I'm incredibly proud to announce that there is now a singleplayer version of mpyoo working and in development, featuring full web UI support for singleplayer. It is not available yet, but will be released in the future.

✨ Introducing mpyooSP​

When I set out to make mpyoo, I wanted to build a tool that made the scene creation process as easy as possible. If it isn't possible to do everything you want to do - it defeats the point of it being made in the first place.

During testing, a few testers let me know that games with large mod setups (e.g. large map mods, new locations) currently have performance issues on RageMP, which is the multiplayer mod mpyoo works on currently. On top of this, RageMP does not allow you to use any other singleplayer scripts (.asi, .dll) which you might be relying on for singleplayer modding.

At the start of making mpyoo, I was told it was difficult to get web UI working in singleplayer, and that only one other person had made a basic demo where they made an overlay of google.com. This is part of the reason I chose a multiplayer platform, because they all come with web UI support built-in. However, if they have all already done it, I knew that not only it is possible, but with enough persistence, it could be brought to singleplayer, too.

Simple drag-and-drop modding without a dlclist.xml - and direct injection into mpclothes without OpenIV.

🤯 What if modding wasn't so complicated?​

mpyoo is fairly new and we're still in the phase where people do not fully know what it is yet, or what it can do. So far, we've had over 70 public alpha sign ups and just over 50 people come in game. I've had the chance to talk to a small number of players so far to explain a little bit about mpyoo's modloader.

For many players it still hasn't quite clicked yet what this tool is and what it can do for them. This is going to gradually change once people realise how much easier modding becomes with a tool like mpyoo.

😵 Singleplayer's modding problems​

Many players here are familiar with singleplayer modding by now. It mostly works, but there's some issues:

• 👎 Needing to wait 3-7+ days for Scripthook updates.
• 👎 Setting up update.rpf again & again when new updates happen.
• 👎 Most dlc.rpf mods can only go up to 4GB before corrupting.
• 👎 If you break anything, you sometimes need to reinstall/start again.

What if these problems stopped existing?

✨ Introducing RageMP EAC Reshade Full Add-on Support​

After only a few short weeks of discussion with the Rage Multiplayer team, mpyoo is excited to reveal that support for Reshade with full add-on is now functional and in testing on Rage Multiplayer!

Reshade is a popular graphics injector that hijacks your game graphics to provide enhanced graphics effects. If you're wondering how several of our Discord users make their photos look so high quality in #gallery - it's typically from a combination of ENBs and/or Reshade.

One of the most frequent pieces of feedback I received before mpyoo's public alpha launch is that Reshade was not fully supported by RageMP and that this would be a huge necessity for people to switch to mpyoo. In the German Menyoo Discord, more than 2 in every 3 entries in their recent Halloween screenshot contest listed that they made use of Reshade.

As of yesterday, RageMP supplied me with an early build of RageMP that now supports Reshade with full-addon:

What do you need to get started?​

Welcome to the mpyoo public alpha! Here's what you'll need to get involved:

1. Make sure you've got GTA V installed and you've played it recently. Try connecting to singleplayer to make sure it's working.
   • A Menyoo installation is also nice to have, but not required! mpyoo/RageMP does not load your singleplayer mods. It's completely separate.
2. You'll also need RageMP installed. You can download it from https://rage.mp/ - once you've got it, you should be ready to play.

How to begin testing​

There's two ways to play mpyoo's alpha:

• On our public server, mpyoo.xyz. This is technically already up and you can join early if you feel like it.
• Installing the mpyoo script on your PC, which will be shared in the #releases channel. It's really easy to setup and you don't need to be a coder to install it. Just follow these steps!

Our public server takes only a few seconds to join, but has some limitations on modding. If you just want to check out mpyoo, come play our public server. If you want full modding support, you should use the mpyoo script.

🚀 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…​
