Glossary: FAQs

» Is Assetify a standalone library?

Yes, Assetify is a fully independent library developed from the ground up, thoroughly tested for performance and reliability.

» Are Assets replacing the native models?

No, all assets provided by Assetify are additional add-ons that complement the existing models tho we got support to replace native models as well!

» Are Assets supposed to be mentioned on meta.xml?

No, Assetify features an advanced integrated downloader tool powered by assetify.webserver. There's no need to specify assets within the library's meta.xml or to manually synchronize models.

» How can I determine whether assets are downloaded and loaded for players?

You can utilize the following API on the client side to check the status:

local isAssetifyLoaded = assetify.isLoaded()

Alternatively, you can set up a handler using the scheduler that will execute on the client side once the library has been successfully loaded:

assetify.scheduler.execOnLoad(function()
   print("Assetify has been successfully loaded.")
end)

» Can I utilize Assetify with the default map?

Certainly! Just make sure removeWorld is set to false.
Moreover, you can manage this feature directly through assetify.clearWorld and assetify.restoreWorld.

» Can custom maps lead to lag?

No, our implementation includes sophisticated occlusion and streaming methods for custom objects, ensuring performance that surpasses expectations. By default, MTA does not provide occlusion support for custom objects, including Levels of Detail (LODs), which often leads to suboptimal performance. We have rigorously tested this process for over a month. However, it is important to note that lag may also be affected by factors such as model quality, polygon count, collision topology, chunk size etc.

» Is it advisable to use a single scene asset for my entire map?

We do not recommend employing a single scene asset for larger maps. Instead, it is beneficial to segment your map into multiple scenes, which allows for improved control.

» How can I encrypt my models?

We offer a built-in feature to encrypt your models using the encryptKey & encryptMode asset property as indicated below:

"encryptKey": "yourSecureKeyHere"
"encryptMode": "aes128"
