Getting Started
Thank you for using Map Builder IV! Here are a few tips for beginners.
Map Builder IV – Beginner Tips:
Creating maps is only supported for Singleplayer. You can load finished YMAP files in custom multiplayer servers.
XML files can be converted to YMAP by using this tool – XML to YMAP download
Additional 3D models are available for patrons.
Map Builder IV – Common User Problems:
Invisible Assets – Causes:
Incorrectly installing Map Builder.
A map that you are trying to use requires additional resource packages.
A map that you are trying to use does NOT have hash codes to asset names conversion in the YMAP file.
A map that you are trying to use does NOT have properly calculated extents or other code in the YMAP file.
Some other modification is interfering with the installation. Mods that change graphics and shaders for example.
OIV Installation Fails – Causes:

You don’t have enough space on your hard drive.
Your game is still running after closing it. (Rockstar Launcher)

Open your “server.cfg” file in your server data root then add the folder names to the start command and save.
[EXAMPLE] – server.cfg
# Only change the IP if you’re using a server with multiple network interfaces, otherwise change the port only.

Map Builder IV – Hash Codes to Asset Names (YMAP Files)
Sometimes the XML to YMAP coverter tool doesn’t convert Map Builder IV assets properly. If Map Builder IV assets are invisible after converting from XML to YMAP use this guide to fix the problem.
Start OpenIV
Open your YMAP in OpenIV edit mode.
Search the “<archetypeName></archetypeName>” for hash code errors. (ex: 0x66B0B56F)
Replace any hash codes with the correct asset name. (ex: mbp3_plank_old_2x2b_floor3)
Tips:
Use the Map Builder Hash Key to find the asset names for the hash codes. (download below)
Use a text editor such as Notepad++ to find hash codes quickly using the “Find” function.
