Map-Modding-Utils-GUI

Enhance your GTA 5 single-player map modding workflow with the Map-Modding-Utils-GUI, a user-friendly Windows GUI front-end for Larcius' open-source gta5-modding-utils Python toolkit. This tool simplifies the process of creating and optimizing maps by providing an intuitive interface to access and configure various modding utilities.

No more struggling with long command-line arguments! The GUI allows you to easily browse input/output folders, select the desired workers (vegetation, entropy, reducer, clustering, LOD map, and more), configure advanced settings through simple text boxes and sliders, and monitor all console output in a convenient built-in log window.

While the original Python scripts still handle the heavy lifting, this GUI makes them significantly easier and safer to use, particularly for those who are not comfortable with Python or command-line interfaces.

Features

Modern Windows GUI: A single, resizable window featuring a log output at the bottom.
Optional light and dark themes.
Intro screen providing a comprehensive setup and workflow guide.
One-click access to gta5-modding-utils workers through checkboxes corresponding to main.py flags:

Vegetation: Creates vegetation .ymap.xml files into a generated folder.
Entropy: Builds entropy-based LOD/SLOD vegetation maps.
Reducer: Merges dense vegetation while maintaining similar visual density.
Clustering: Splits entities into clusters by polygon and grid.
Static col: Generates static collision (staticCol).
LOD map: Builds LOD/SLOD maps and meshes (LodMapCreator).
Clear LOD: Removes existing LOD/SLOD before rebuilding.
Reflection: Generates additional reflection meshes for vegetation.
Sanitizer: Fixes common problems in .ymap.xml files (flags, rotations, archetype names).
Statistics: Displays useful statistics about maps in the console.

Advanced options: Reducer resolution, "adapt scaling" toggle, fixed number of clusters, clustering prefix and excluded maps, and polygon region as JSON for restricting processing to a specific area.
LOD Atlas Helper & Preview: Helper tool to build LOD atlas JSON for custom vegetation, load atlas textures (PNG/DDS) and YTYP/props XML, map prop names to atlas tiles via a grid, and a 3D preview window to visualize LOD meshes with applied atlases.
Built-in help: "View Readme" window with a quick-start guide and an extra "Commands" tab explaining the function of each checkbox/flag.
