03. FAQ
WHAT DOES MODWORKS ACTUALLY DO?
ModWorks is a desktop toolkit for GTA V asset and resource workflows. It focuses on browsing, previewing, editing, conversion, and utility tooling rather than one-click mod installs.
IS MODWORKS SAFE TO USE?
ModWorks works on files you open in the app. Keep backups before editing production resources, especially when replacing textures, patching audio, or rewriting meta files.
DOES IT WORK WITH GTA ONLINE?
ModWorks is intended for asset workflows and FiveM/server-side content. It is not built for GTA Online use.
WHAT FILE TYPES CAN I WORK WITH?
Core workflows include RPF7 archives, YTD textures, YDR/YDD/YFT models, AWC audio, handling/meta files, YMAP and XML conversions, plus additional GTA format inspectors.
WHAT CHANGES BETWEEN FREE, STANDARD, AND PREMIUM?
Free includes RPF Explorer and core utility/conversion tools. Standard adds EUP Creator and advanced tools such as Resource Linter, Crash Analyzer, Vehicle Pack Creator, Handling Tuner, YTD Optimizer, Light Pattern Editor, Script Obfuscator, and MLO/Map Conflict Detector. Premium currently includes everything in Standard, plus early access to new tools and feature-request priority. Nitro Booster unlocks custom themes.
