Open a ped
A ped is a set of GTA files. PedForge reads them in your browser and uploads none of them.
What you need
You need the ped’s .ydd files (models) and its .ymt file (metadata). Bring the .ytd files (textures) and the .yft file (skeleton) as well: without the textures the ped has no pictures of its own, and without the skeleton PedForge cannot check how garments are rigged.
Open the files
Open the editor and press Choose folder, Choose files or Open ZIP, or drop the files anywhere on the page. Choose folder appears only in browsers that can open a folder, such as Chrome and Edge.
PedForge lists what it found: every file, any that are missing and any that are not part of a ped. A ped with what it needs opens at once. If it cannot be opened yet, add the missing files. If opening fails, press Open ped to try again.
Where the ped is kept
Nothing is uploaded. The editor keeps the ped and every edit in this browser, and the top bar says Saved on this device. Clearing this site’s data in the browser removes that copy.
To come back to a ped, press the PedForge icon at the top left of the editor, Your projects. You need to be signed in to see the list. If this browser no longer has the ped’s files, choose them again.
