ModWorks
First Public Release

Thank you for downloading ModWorks.

ModWorks is a desktop utility built to simplify the GTA V modding workflow. It brings common archive, asset, and utility tools into one app so you can spend less time jumping between programs and more time building.

Core Features
- Browse RPF archives like normal folders
- Open encrypted RPF archives with GTA V key auto-detection
- Preview supported 3D models, textures, and AWC audio
- Replace and export YTD textures
- Export textures to PNG or DDS
- Work with vehicle and handling tools
- Use built-in utilities such as hash lookup, diagnostics, cache tools, and related workflow helpers

Requirements
- Windows PC
- Grand Theft Auto V installed for full archive and key-detection support
- Administrator rights may be required by Windows during installation

Installation
1. Extract this zip to a normal folder before running anything.
2. Run ModWorks-Setup.exe.
3. Follow the installer steps.
4. Launch ModWorks after installation completes.
5. If prompted, set your GTA V folder or GTA5.exe path so ModWorks can detect keys and open supported files more smoothly.

First Run Notes
- Some features work best after ModWorks knows where your GTA V installation is located.
- If GTA5.exe is detected automatically, encrypted archive support can be enabled without extra setup.
- Depending on the file type you are opening, available actions may differ.

Important Note
ModWorks is in its first public release. Some features may still have minor bugs or edge cases, but frequent updates and community feedback will continue to shape and improve the app.

Known Issues
- As a first public release, some workflows may still be improving.
- Certain files or edge-case archives may behave differently depending on your game setup and installed mods.

Troubleshooting
- If ModWorks cannot detect your GTA V files, manually point the app to your GTA5.exe or game folder.
- If a file fails to open, make sure it belongs to a supported GTA V format and was extracted correctly.
- If Windows warns you about the installer, confirm that you downloaded it from the official ModWorks release page before continuing.
