Speedo skin/decal for METT/Coroner 1.0

**** Decal/skin made By Gerhart67 **please keep this at www.LCPDFR.com** and not anywhere else. I would really appreciate it.

**** This is a decal ( I call it a decal ) for Rockstar's speedo ( model not included, it's in the game silly ) to go along with Abraxas's METT/Coroner mod located here **** using this without the mod is really pointless so download it. Believe me it's worth it. While you're at it you might as well grab his other mods and I know you'll want to give me a hug after you do.

**** There are two versions, one for Liberty City and one for New York City ****

!!!!!!RULE NUMBER ONE WHEN MODDING ANYTHING---MAKE A BACKUP COPY!!!!!! <--This is a commandment and THE commandment no other shall come before it.

*********How to install using OpenIV****

***please note this is to replace speedo_sign_1 as that is what the mod METT/Coroner uses***

1. MAKE A BACKUP COPY ( remember modders commandment ) of the vehicles.img file located in: Grand Theft Auto/GTAIV/pc/models/cdimages

2. Extract the files using your archiver of choice to a location you will remember. I use Winrar but 7zip will work fine and it's free.

3. Start OpenIV, go to pc/models and double click the vehicles.img.

4. Now either press F6 or click on Edit mode at the top. This will give you a warning about making changes, press YES.

5. Scroll down until you find the speedo, we want the textures so we specifically want speedo.wtd. Right-click the speedo.wtd and choose EDIT.

6. Highlight the speedo_sign_1 by clicking once on it, then choose REPLACE located at the upper right area of the window.

7. Another window will pop up. Locate your desired version of the decal/skin at the location you extracted to. SpeedoLC is for the Liberty City version and SpeedoNYC is for the New York City version.

8. Choose either speedo_sign_1lc ( for Liberty City ) or speedo_sign_1nyc ( for New York City ) and then press ok. Don't worry about the name, since you are replacing and not importing it will automatically keep the same speedo_sign_1 name.

9. You should see that the decal/skin has changed. Now with speedo_sign_1 still highlighted go to PROPERTIES located up by the REPLACE you just used and click on it. A little window will pop up and we want to change the MipMaps to 4. Click on the little down arrow and choose the number 4 then click OK.

10. Now choose SAVE located down in the lower right corner.

11. ********This next part I'm not sure is necessary but I do it to be safe.********

12. Now click on "File" located at the upper left corner and choose "Rebuild". Another window will pop up so choose the vehicles.img and click "Rebuild" and wait. After it rebuilds choose either yes or no, depending on what you want to do next I choose no. Now I double click on the vehicles.img file again and notice it will automatically go to Edit mode so to make sure I'm out of Edit mode I click Edit mode again or hit F6.

If you get a Fatal error when loading up after this is installed ( or any skin ) just open up OpenIV again, find the vehicles.img and click on Edit mode. Choose yes then click Edit again to disable it. We're just making sure it closes out of Edit mode.

If you find that your scripts aren't loading then, while in game, double check by trying to bring up the console with the tilde key ( this key "~" located above the TAB key ) . If the console isn't coming up reload your save in the Game menu. If it does come up then type "reloadscripts" without the quotes. Wait because it will freeze for a few seconds. When the console shows back up hit the tilde ~ again to remove the console.

Now go have some fun!! That's another modders commandment.

Stay Safe. Gerhart67
