Ultimate Taxi Ad Fix 1.0.0

(8 reviews)

By Wippy

Hello there!

 

It's another (second) Taxi ad fix on LSPDFR. It's a humble fix, it fixes Taxi Ads when using any mod that modifies visualsettings.dat file. The first one (by PDaniels) is quite good but a bit weird aswell. I found 5 minutes to create a better fix since there's only one (or I just think it's better LOL). You may use it or not use it. It's always good to have different choices, right?

 

Installation:

 

1. Pick one folder depending on your taxi.

1.a) If you have vanilla unmodded taxi, then pick up "ytd" folder and place taxi.ytd in any patchday (the latter the better, because of .rpf size) archive into x64/ levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf.

1.b) If you're already using vanilla modded taxi (changed textures for example), then pick "texture" folder and replace taxi_signs_2 in your taxi.ytd via OpenIV like you did with other textures. Only you know where's your taxi.ytd. Default GTAV location is x64e.rpf/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf , but I prefer putting vehicle files in patchdays because of rpf size.

 

This fix probably will not work with custom taxi models, if they use their own ad boards.

 

RESULT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR VISUALSETTINGS.DAT FILE. TESTED WITH "NOT TOO BRIGHT LIGHTS". PLEASE REPORT UNCOMFORTABLE BRIGHTNESS WHEN USING OTHER MODS.

    Okay, where are they? Show me. "Tons" are actually two, that one mentioned by me and another in "Make Visuals Great Again" package (which is completely THE SAME as the first one)? They're both the same and weird, I guess it's the same texture released by two guys.

    It should. Try it, then tell me if you get bad results. I'll fix it quickly.

    Colors are shifted. Just compare them to vanilla. That white girl on vanilla ad looks like a black girl on those fixed ads. Some parts pass bright light, thus making ads patchy (not uniform).

     

    Quality of ads (sharpness) probably depends on your in-game settings though. My ads are completely the same as vanilla, with good compressing and with no colors shifted, i.e. they're authentic.

    I don't blame anyone, I just made my own fix that fit my tastes and shared it here.

    I never quite understood the reasoning behind why people are against multiple choice. It's like people who complain about there being "too many" of a specific Police car - I.E the Crown Victoria for example. Multiple choice is good, certain people like different things and offering that type of selection also creates a healthy community. Some people just don't get that though it seems. 

     

    Also Kompetenzz, there are a vast majority of visual mods out there. Are you, of all people, really going to complain given that your visual mod(s) is "just another visual mod" for people to pick and choose from.  

     

    There's tons of visual mods...

    so does this actually modify the visualsettings.dat, replace the actual taxi ads or modify the actual taxi (extra 9 ) which is what the ad sign is?
