Templates and Export Flow

Template folder rules, preview generation, slot YTD layout, and addon export behavior for 0r-clothing_designer

This page explains how templates are discovered and what happens when users export.

Adding a New YDD or YTD

Template Discovery Rules#

Templates must be placed under:

templates/cloth_templates/
  male/
  female/

Supported component folders:

• accs
• berd
• decl
• feet
• hair
• hand
• head
• jbib
• lowr
• task
• teef
• uppr

Examples:

templates/cloth_templates/male/jbib/jbib_000_u.ydd
templates/cloth_templates/female/lowr/lowr_000_r.ydd

Naming Rules#

The resource derives template identity from the folder and file name.

Check these rules:

• top folder must be male or female
• second folder must be a supported component key
• the file prefix should match that component key

If folder and file naming do not agree, the template can be skipped.

Optional Preview Images#

You can ship your own preview images under:

templates/template_previews/<gender>/<component>/<file>.(png|webp|jpg|jpeg)

If no preview exists, the resource can generate one during startup and mirror the generated .png into templates/template_previews.

If preview files are generated or changed while the server is already running, use:

refresh
restart 0r-clothing_designer

Optional Default Slot YTD Files#

Default slot .ytd files live under:

templates/template_slots/<template_key>/

Examples:

templates/template_slots/male_jbib_jbib_000/
templates/template_slots/female_accs_accs_000/

These files become template-specific slot options inside the editor.

Startup Sync Behavior#

On resource start the runtime can:

• create missing workspace directories
• scan all .ydd templates
• generate missing previews
• update changed managed previews
• clean temporary preview cache files

Export Flow#

Current shipped behavior:

• the UI export flow is addon-first
• replace export is not shown in the shipped UI
• successful addon exports create both zip output and mirrored addon resource output

Output locations:

• 0r-clothing_designer/exports/
• 0r-clothing_exports/
• 0r-clothing_designer/data/workspace/

After a successful addon export, restart:

restart 0r-clothing_exports

so FiveM reloads the new addon files.
