Where to download CodeWalker by dexyfex
Use dexyfex’s CodeWalker GTA V 3D Map + Editor listing on GTA5-Mods and the dexyfex/CodeWalker GitHub repository linked from it. The author’s listing also links the CodeWalker Discord. Follow that author-provided community link when looking for release announcements rather than treating a third-party site with CodeWalker in its name as the project owner.
On November 7, 2026, the public listing displayed v30_dev46 with a January 29, 2024 date. That is the version shown on that page, not a claim that it is the newest development build available elsewhere. Compare the package version with the instructions you intend to follow. A GitHub source archive is also different from a packaged application download.
Magnate is an independent guide and does not host or modify the CodeWalker executable. Credit for CodeWalker belongs to dexyfex. The author’s download listing and source repository are included in the sources below.
Open your GTA V installation and create a project
The upstream README describes a Windows tool using PC GTA V files. Select the game folder when prompted. World View navigation uses WASD, left-drag and the mouse wheel. Check the requirements of your chosen build.
Save a .cwproj in the Project Window before editing. Editing with that window open adds the affected YMAP to the project; save edited YMAP files separately. Back up both your project and export output.
CodeWalker RPF Explorer mode
For archive inspection, the README documents CodeWalker.exe explorer or the supplied Explorer batch file. The menu argument opens a launcher-style menu. Choose archive inspection when you need a file path rather than a world location.
For a first inspection, record the archive path and asset name before exporting anything. Work on copies when making changes, and retain a clean original for comparison. Browsing an archive, saving an edited project and deploying a FiveM resource are different stages of the workflow.
A small first FiveM map project
Use a limited exercise: place a few existing props at a staging location, save the YMAP, and record the coordinates and object names. This proposed exercise keeps the first result easy to inspect. Do not begin by changing a busy production interior with many overlapping resources.
The official Cfx map tutorial covers calculating extents and flags in CodeWalker and generating _manifest.ymf. It then packages the exported content as a FiveM map resource. Follow that export sequence for the project you are building rather than assuming that saving .cwproj deploys a map to your server.
Keep the CodeWalker-generated _manifest.ymf distinct from the resource’s fxmanifest.lua: they are different files with different roles. Use our YMAP installation guide for the server-resource stage and our manifest guide when checking resource declarations. A resource that starts without errors still needs an in-game visual and collision test.
Keep an export and test record
The following record is a suggested handoff format for a mapper and server administrator. Fill it with actual observations, including failures. It is more useful than a screenshot that does not identify the project version or where to find the placed objects.
| Record | What to include | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Tool and game | CodeWalker build and GTA V edition/build | Reproduce the editing environment |
| Editable work | Project path and source asset versions | Continue editing without rebuilding from exports |
| Export | Exported filenames and required resources | Check the complete deployment package |
| Location | Coordinates and expected placed objects | Inspect the same area consistently |
| Runtime result | Visibility, collision and approach-distance observations | Separate editor appearance from server behavior |
| Regression | Results with nearby map resources enabled | Find overlap or interaction problems |
If the map appears in CodeWalker but not in FiveM
Identify the last successful stage. Did the intended files export? Did the server load the expected resource? Are you visiting the recorded location? Are the required assets available in the selected game build? Check one question at a time and retain the exact console error rather than replacing multiple files blindly.
Test the small project with its documented dependencies first, then reintroduce nearby resources one at a time. If geometry appears but collision fails, investigate that behavior separately from the menu or startup state. If a different map occupies the location, isolate the conflict instead of assuming your export was ignored.
Magnate has reviewed the linked documentation but has not run this workflow in CodeWalker or GTA V. The presence of conversion-related code in a repository would not, by itself, prove that every asset works across Legacy and Enhanced. Check the chosen tool build and validate the actual exported asset on your target server.
Questions, answered.
Where is the CodeWalker Discord?
The author’s GTA5-Mods listing links the CodeWalker Discord. Use that author-provided link; the host site’s general Discord is a different community.
Is CodeWalker 30 the newest version?
The author’s public listing showed v30_dev46 when reviewed on November 7, 2026. Check the author-linked release channels for development builds; this guide does not claim that listing is the newest build everywhere.
Does saving a CodeWalker project install it in FiveM?
No. Keep the editable project separate from exported map files, package the FiveM resource correctly and test it on your staging server.
