[Bug] Streamed base-asset override (minimap.gfx / minimap.ytd) is ignored on GTAV Enhanced

[martinzdev]

Summary

On FiveM for GTAV Enhanced (early access, server build 90), overriding base-game graphics assets served via a resource stream/ folder (same filename as the game asset) has no effect. Tested with both the Legacy (Gen8) and the Enhanced-native (Gen9) minimap.gfx / minimap.ytd, edited all of them, and none applied. The exact same files apply correctly on FiveM Legacy.

Add-on streaming (new asset, new name — props, .ytyp, vehicles) works fine on Enhanced on the same server. This isolates the problem to the base graphics-asset override pipeline specifically, not streaming in general.

Steps to Reproduce

Resource manifest:

fx_version 'cerulean'
games { 'gta5' }
this_is_a_map 'yes'

In stream/[MINIMAP]/, tested with both sources (Legacy files AND Enhanced-native files):

1. minimap.gfx (edited in JPEXS, in both versions):
   • Created a new blip/sprite (radar_meet_zone) via DefineShape + DefineSprite + ExportAssets + push into the AS2 Blips array.
   • Changed an existing blip's art (radar_bounty_hit) directly in the .gfx.
   • Result: neither the new blip nor the changed art shows up.
2. minimap.ytd (both versions): edited a blip texture (targeting the Gen9 blips_texturesheet_ng atlas).
   • Result: no effect.

Connecting with an Enhanced client, the minimap/blips stay stock in every case. On Legacy, the same files apply.

Expected Behavior

A file in a resource stream/ folder with the same name as a base asset (minimap.gfx, minimap.ytd) should override the game asset at runtime — as it does on Legacy.

Actual Behavior

The override is completely ignored — the game keeps using the stock asset. No error in the client or server console.

Evidence

No response

Additional Context

What I already ruled out:

• Asset version/format: failed with both the Legacy file and the Enhanced-native one → not a conversion/Gen9-format issue.
• Texture atlas target (_ng vs legacy): irrelevant, since editing inside the .gfx itself (new sprite + existing art) also did nothing.
• Filename: the .gfx is named exactly minimap.gfx.
• Pure mode: by the sv_pureLevel definition it targets modified client files, not server-streamed resource assets — shouldn't apply here.
• Alchemist: the Legacy .ytd converted successfully; the Enhanced-native one wouldn't even need it — still no effect.

Technical pointer:
Scaleform replacement in FiveM is implemented in ScaleformHacks.cpp (code/components/gta-streaming-five/src/ScaleformHacks.cpp). It's plausible this hook (and the equivalent for base graphics .ytd override) isn't wired up / ported to Gen9 yet.

Questions:

1. Is base graphics-asset override (Scaleform minimap.gfx + base textures like minimap.ytd) via stream supported on Enhanced right now, or disabled during early access?
2. If supported, what is the correct method on Gen9?
3. If disabled, is there a timeline to enable it?

Environment:

• Client: FiveM for GTAV Enhanced — latest (early access, 2026-07-22)
• Gamebuild: latest/default — The Kortz Center Heist (sv_enforceGameBuild not set)
• OneSync: on / big mode (onesync_enableInfinity 1)
• Minimap base tested: both Enhanced-native (~962 blips) and Legacy minimap.gfx/minimap.ytd

Hello, can you send a sample modified minimap gfx and ytd for testing? Gen8 and Gen9 are both fine

minimap.zip

@Gogsi here you go. the minimap.gfx should remove the bars at the bottom and the ytd has some replaced blips.

[Gogsi]

Thank you, I can replicate the issue

[martinzdev]

Were you able to reproduce it?

[Gogsi]

Yes, I reproduced it

[Gogsi]

A fix for this bug has been implemented and is available in the latest patch b95. Please try again and let us know if the issue persists. Thanks for your help!

[martinzdev]

Just tested it, works fine now on b95. Thanks!

on my end the client crashes with scaleforms on startup.. with minimap.gfx replacement especially

[martinzdev]

You probably didn't use Alchemist to convert your asset to the enhanced version; try mine.

Alchemist docs: https://docs.fivem.net/docs/alchemist/
Alchemist download: https://portal.cfx.re/downloads

Here's my resource that worked:
asset-hud.zip

[manups4e]

my minimap is a custom gfx made from scratch... afaik scaleforms don't need alchemist to be used for them..
