How To Unlock DFF  - Zmod

 

 

[Dutchman101]

Download RWAnalyze and use it to open the .dff file, then find "ZModeler lock" somewhere (usually around the bottom of list) and delete the node.

You can also use Z2G DFF converter to automatically remove any lock.

RWAnalyze: https://www.gta-modding.com/area/file-33-rw-analyze.html

Z2G DFF converter: https://www.gta-modding.com/area/index.php?act=view&id=1251 (drag the DFF file into the .exe to start converting)

 

If you cannot find a "Zmodeler lock" then the DFF has been locked in another way. You can try these tutorials:

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g54VneOeUVc (applies to a type of lock where you see only 1 clump and 1 struct in RWAnalyze)

2) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dff+unlock (try to identify what type of lock it has and find a targetted unlocking tutorial).

 

Please only use that procedure with models where you got permission of its authors to edit it, locks are often there for a reason.
