Thinkering upon thinkering, I stumbled upon the Model Definition files (YTYPs). Which would spawn at bh1_45_critical_0.ymap. Thanks to CodeWalker by Dexyfex and my scripts, I was able to analyze and take dozens of screenshots all around Los Santos and Bone County.Īmidst the journey, I discovered that certain props that are set to Low Priority do actually spawn. However, even if you max all the Draw Distance and Density settings, it will not ever spawn.Īlong with many other props in the game. It's entry can be seen in bh1_30_strm_1.ymap Here is an example of a prop called prop_fountain1 that usually does not spawn at a fancy house in Rockford Hills: Thanks to that script it was also possible to process the YMAPs to change the priority of those props so they could spawn. Thanks to the Python scripting language I was able to identify exactly which props were of Low Priority. (If you do not care about the explanation, feel free to skip to the comparisons and download part.) This sparked in me a great curiosity to understand what could be possibly be happening so that these props did not spawn. In his IMGUR/Reddit post he details that in Grand Theft Auto V, props that set to Low Priority in Map Definition files don't spawn. In October 12, 2018, someone by the nickname of 'Ttokenblackguy' made a post on Reddit /r/GrandTheftAutoV, about a particular issue regarding prop spawns in GTA V.
