Duck Workshop 0.3.6 Early Access

Fixes lens exports incorrectly rejecting working vehicles with texture dictionaries larger than 100 MB. Duck Workshop now enforces FiveM's limit per streaming page and packs larger dictionaries across valid pages, preserving original texture quality and saved light settings.

Also included:

• Native lens-color patches and independent lens materials, with matching base/high vehicle files.
• Vehicle Extras and Bloom controls, corrected siren facing, and improved texture-source recovery.
• Security updates for ZIP parsing, TLS certificate handling, and the installer's .NET runtime.

Downloads:

• DuckWorkshopSetup.exe — Windows x64 installer with repair and uninstall support.
• Duck-Workshop-0.3.6-Windows-x64.zip — portable application, documentation, and license notices.
• Duck-Workshop.exe — standalone application.
• latest.json — RSA-PSS-SHA256 signed update manifest, using the existing trusted release key.
• SHA256SUMS.txt and SHA256SUMS.txt.sig — checksums and their detached RSA-PSS signature, covering all four files above. Verification instructions are in RELEASING.md.

Release signatures are verified by Duck Workshop and can authenticate the downloads. They are separate from Windows Authenticode publisher signing; these executables do not carry a Windows publisher certificate.

Validation: automated application and installer checks, formatting, strict Clippy, signed-update verification, and native vehicle export/readback checks. The reported vehicle was tested successfully in game by its owner. Duck Workshop remains in Early Access; verify exported lighting on your target vehicle in FiveM.

Duck Workshop 0.3.4 Early Access

Duck Workshop 0.3.4 Early Access

The Lightboard sequence editor now runs from top to bottom for easier editing. Lights are columns across the top, and steps 01–32 run downward. The active playback step highlights a row.

• Light headers stay visible while scrolling through the steps.
• Wide patterns scroll horizontally so every light remains accessible.
• Shift Up / Shift Down moves the selected light's pattern through time, wrapping between steps 01 and 32.
• Click or drag to paint, right-click to erase, and use Undo/Redo as before. Existing projects, timing and exported sequence order are preserved.

Downloads

• DuckWorkshopSetup.exe: Windows x64 installer, with repair and uninstall support.
• Duck-Workshop-0.3.4-Windows-x64.zip: portable Windows x64 package with documentation and third-party notices.
• Duck-Workshop.exe: standalone application.
• latest.json: signed update manifest.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: download checksums.

Duck Workshop is in Early Access. Features and vehicle compatibility are still being developed. Check exported lighting on the target vehicle in FiveM.

Validation

All 80 Rust tests and 11 installer checks passed, along with formatting, strict Clippy and the optimized Windows build. New egui interaction coverage checks vertical painting, erasing, undo/redo, export order, shift direction, selection, step scrubbing and scrolling to step 32 and light 32. The actual Lightboard component was visually checked through an isolated OpenGL capture harness.

Duck Workshop 0.3.3 Early Access

Duck Workshop is in Early Access. Features and vehicle compatibility are still being developed.

This update makes the reported "Invalid ARGB color" import failure diagnosable:

• Errors identify the rejected color, siren settings ID, siren number and XML line/column. Invisible characters are escaped; oversized values are truncated in the message.
• Import notes record the Workshop version and SHA256 fingerprint of the metadata snapshot that was actually parsed.
• Copy import report above the preview copies the active settings and import notes for troubleshooting. Copying is local and user initiated.
• Hexadecimal colors using an uppercase 0X prefix now import, alongside existing lowercase 0x and unprefixed hexadecimal values.

Investigation status: the supplied rescue files import successfully with both model variants, keeping all 20 lights at scale 10. Their colors use lowercase prefixes, so the uppercase-prefix correction is not a confirmed explanation for the screenshot. The reported FiveM enlargement after respawning or switching focus also remains unconfirmed.

After updating, import the vehicle folder again. If the error reappears, use Copy import report to capture the exact rejected value and source fingerprint.

Validation: 78 app tests passed, including the new color-format and diagnostic checks. Formatting, strict Clippy and the optimized Windows build passed. The rescue resource was checked read-only; user vehicle assets are excluded from the release.

Use DuckWorkshopSetup.exe to install or update, or the Windows x64 ZIP for a portable copy. Duck-Workshop.exe is the standalone application. latest.json and SHA256SUMS.txt provide update verification data.

Duck Workshop 0.3.1 Early Access

Duck Workshop 0.3.1 Early Access

Duck Workshop is in Early Access. Features and vehicle compatibility are still being developed. Check exported files and lighting behavior on your target vehicle in FiveM.

Changes

• Added a self-contained Windows setup tool modeled on Duck Studio, with guided per-user installation, a Start menu shortcut, repair, and an uninstall entry. Saved projects are kept.

• Fixed lights appearing away from the vehicle by applying each siren's carcols facing angle around its bone pivot. This applies to imported vehicles generally; cambo1 was visually verified.

• Added complete vehicle-folder import with high-detail model selection, nearby textures, matched siren metadata and import notes.

• Added textured siren lens surfaces, glow, compact labels and a separate resizable preview window.

• Improved native vehicle assembly, UV material/channel selection, colored templates and multicolor warning stripes.

• Fixed missing siren slots, large carcols IDs, empty geometry slots and metadata selection.

Downloads

• DuckWorkshopSetup.exe: recommended for guided installation. No separate runtime or administrator rights are required.
• Duck-Workshop-0.3.1-Windows-x64.zip: portable Windows x64 package, including documentation and license notices. Extract it and open Duck-Workshop.exe.
• Duck-Workshop.exe: standalone Windows x64 app.
• latest.json: signed update manifest for the app's updater.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: SHA256 checksums for the three files above.

The release uses version 0.3.1 so existing 0.3.0 builds can recognize a newer update. The existing update-signing key is retained. Repository access is required while the repository is private.

Validation

All 72 app tests, 11 installer checks, setup layout checks, formatting, strict all-target Clippy and the optimized Windows build passed. The signed manifest and executable are verified together before upload. The cambo1 lighting preview was visually checked. Vehicle models, source artwork, local backups and private signing keys are excluded.
