Organize your server content in the following folder structure:

.
└── my_content/
    ├── input/
    │   └── playermodels/
    │       ├── neco_arc_pm/
    │       │   ├── models/
    │       │   ├── materials/
    │       │   └── lua/
    │       ├── spongebob_pm/
    │       │   ├── models/
    │       │   ├── materials/
    │       │   └── lua/
    │       └── models.json
    ├── output/
    │   ├── _lua/
    │   ├── _lua_merged/
    │   └── playermodels/
    │       ├── models/
    │       └── materials/
    ├── source-mdl-rs.exe
    └── Config.toml

Run the source-mdl-rs executable

Your repacked addons will be available in the output folder.

Models whitelist 📜

The tool allows you to create a whitelist for models in your addon packs, eliminating unnecessary content. This is useful for playermodels.
Follow these steps:

Use this example lua script for DarkRP to generate a list of used models

local models = {}

for _, job_extra in ipairs(RPExtraTeams) do
	if not job_extra.model then
		continue
	end

	if isstring(job_extra.model) then
		table.insert(models, job_extra.model)
	end

	if istable(job_extra.model) then
		table.Add(models, job_extra.model)
	end
end

local json = util.TableToJSON(models, true)

SetClipboardText(json)

Paste the generated content into a file named models.json` within your addon pack.

Config ⚙️

input_folder: Specifies the original server content folder. (Default: "input")
