How to remove trash and litter over procedural.meta - 5mods/tutorials GitHub Wiki

@Michualgood OpenIV > Ctrl+F3 > 'Search 'in "mods" folder only' > Search for 'procedural.meta'

You should find 2 locations:

...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\common.rpf\data\materials\procedural.meta

...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\materials\procedural.meta

The one in 'update.rpf' is the one loaded by the game. If it doesn't exist, then the 'common.rpf' one will be loaded by the game instead.

Instructions:

  • Once found, drag & drop 'procedural.meta' to your Desktop etc
  • Open it with your text editor of choice (Notepad++ is better than plain old Notepad)
  • Find & delete the sections ('' to '') of the stuff you want to remove & not have appear ingame:

Example: (removing 'prop_barrel_02a' from seabed)

If you are not sure what something is, use the name in the '' line ('prop_rub_boxpile_08' etc) & search for that using the Ctrl+F3 Search Box in OpenIV & you will find it's model/'.ydr' & be able to open it & have a look at what it is.

If you want to remove absolutely everything from 'procedural.meta' (decent framerate increase possible (+10>15fps)), make the file look like this & then save & install it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CProceduralInfo>
  <procObjInfos>
  </procObjInfos>
  <plantInfos>
  </plantInfos>
  <procTagTable>
  </procTagTable>
</CProceduralInfo>

Alternatively, there is a Reduced Pavement Pollution mod that might suit your need.
