Creating a new GXT2 file - Text Version

This video will show you how to add new text lines to GTA V by modifying .gxt2 files. I will use VPC GTX2 Editor to create a simple file for a vehicle DLC pack. Downloads are in the description below.

First you need to know the string you will be converting into a hash. For this I will be adding a new make and model name to the game. AVENTADOR and LAMBO are the strings I used in vehicles.meta, so that is what I need to convert into a hash.

Start OpenIV and open the Hash Generator. On the bottom check hex. Next input your stings into the input, and hit generate. These numbers are your hashes.

Now open the GXT2 Editor and start a new file. Right click, and add item. Add your string's hash in the first section. The second section is for the description, or, what will be shown in the game.

When you are done save the file, and name it global.gxt2. This file will go into individual language .rpf files. You can copy/paste from another DLC, remove everything in them, and import your global file into them. Make sure all language .rpf files are there, or people using different languages in game wont see the text you just made.
