Handbook

Installation

Unzip, keep the three EXEs and the Qt folders together, start the main app.

System

• Windows 10/11, 64-bit, about 100 MB
• OpenGL 2.0+ for the 3D preview
• Current ZIP CDM Suite 2.0.0 — shop: https://cdmcrash.gumroad.com/l/fuwsqi
• For PAA: DayZ Tools with ImageToPAA.exe (often auto-detected)

Unzip

1. Unzip the release into a folder — no setup
2. Keep CDM_Texture_Tools.exe, CDM_Materials.exe, and CDM_Glass.exe in the same folder
3. Do not delete or move the Qt folders platforms, imageformats, styles
4. Start CDM_Texture_Tools.exe

PAA and EXR

PNG and RVMAT work without DayZ Tools. PAA only if ImageToPAA sits in Settings. EXR is optional: ImageMagick (Windows x64, Q16) with “Install legacy utilities” and “Add to PATH”. Never MultiPart / MultiLayer EXR — save as single-part or PNG.

First run and uninstall

• Language follows the OS (EN/DE). Switch under View — restart after a language change
• Theme and accent apply suite-wide
• Settings: HKCU\Software\CDM. To move machines, save a config JSON
• Uninstall: delete the folder, optionally the registry key
