Looking good so far! Hope you get some help on the issues at hand :)
You can always try your luck with some of the peds devs idling in #peds on our dickord

@ReNNie Thank you!!!

@BrynnaDaRosa AWESOME! THIS IS WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE

If anybody would like to help assist in the development of this mod, first priority in fixing his tangents so we can get his normal maps working, you can contact me via message on here but most preferably through my Discord,
Midsummer Liberty City#3345

Where do i start? Okay
-Wrong vertex paint
-Wrong shader
-Head texture is 512x696
-DLC is 400mb for some reason, defragment please
-The DLC has bunch of corrupted text files that seem to exist there for no reason
I won't leave a bad rating but here's all the things that are wrong with this mod

@HeySlickThatsMe
- Not sure what the correct vertex paint is, and where I looked, the correct paint I'm supposed to use isn't documented :shrug:
- Yeah, it's the wrong shader because i had documented issues when he had his normal map on (which i have recently fixed) where he'd get weird lighting issues on his eyes, where his lips met, and his nostrils, and using ped_default which only utilized diffuse & spec was just how to proceed at the moment.
- The head texture is 512x696 because he replaces Packie's head in hc_gunman which contains both his head, teeth, and hands, and I'm not fond of the solid color playdough neck in vanilla, so I wasn't going to fit all those features in a 512x512 texture and lose his neck.
- Will be fixing the size issue and removing the leftover blank text from that dlcpackcreator I used as a basis very early on in development in the next release, which is coming sometime tonight, having recently fixed him.

@BrynnaDaRosa
1. You can check vanilla models, that's a good way to learn, anyway:
Vertex color - 255 128 0
Vertex glow (or whatever it was called?) - 0 0 0
Vertex alpha - 255 0 0
These will fix lighting
2.Shader should be ped but you know that already
3.The engine is not supposed to handle non power of two textures, this might cause issues, on gtaforums you posted some LOD bug or whatever that was and this is probably the cause, this is why textures are 256, 512, 1024 etc and not random values, yeah maybe you can't fit the texture that easily but you should try to find some work around because the way you did it will cause bugs

@HeySlickThatsMe
1. Thank you for that, I'll bookmark that. :)
Alhough the issue that i was having with lighting was fixed. I'm not... really sure how. Instead of using my imported fbx of Packie I started working on the exported ydd, importing it back into zm3 and re-exporting it with the ped shader the issue I'd had before using the ped shader on my imported fbx was gone, so something in that process may have done it.
2. ayup
3. It was actually an issue with mipmaps on his embedded textures, like i was saying, and i no longer get those issues after fixing that this morning. But I will work on a new head texture if there are any bugs documented that come from this.

Looking forward to future updates!

@theNGclan OH MY GOD 🥺 THANK YOU NGCLAN!!! They're coming!!!

@nicoow05 idk what you heard but I'm not making any actors dude :( and thats kind of a heavy request to just drop into somebody's comment section to ask for five entirely custom peds, w/o even commenting on the mod itself or rating it

@BrynnaDaRosa great work on the mod man! i love it!!! btw, do you have discord? i wanted to discuss a few things about ped modding with you...

@PogChamp yes! i thought i put it somewhere in the mod desc... its Midsummer Liberty City#3345

Hey, thank you SO MUCH for helping me over discord lol, great mod!

This Packie in a trainer (Menyoo) or is it the Packie you can call for help only? (After OIV install)

@The-Canon He's in hc_gunman, head 005 (sometimes labeled 6 if your trainer lists 000 as 1)

@BrynnaDaRosa Thank you very much.

Update coming in the next few days. Not THEE Protag Packie update, but fixes to hc_gunman Packie before the BIG update. Remember to check GTAForums for updates on Protag Packie development.

@BrynnaDaRosa So this replaces the Packie model of GTA V with this one? Looks much better.
