License Plate (number/letters) changer. 1.3

Looks interesting. So we can change the numbers and letters to what we want

Yes, you can change any car (or set of cars) to any plate that follows the GTA format (a-z, 0-9 for sure works, # for random number, * for random letter) with an 8 character limit

So if we on patrol in lspdfr we can change the plate to our unit call sign say Adam 12 or Mary 3

Yes, the only issue with doing something like that with this mod, it would change every plate to that call sign for the model you choose.
For example, if we choose to make "sheriff" car "Adam 12", every "sheriff" car will have an Adam12 license plate.

For what you are referring to/ explaining, it may be easier to just change your license plate using a trainer for your spawned vehicle.

This mod may work better to customize plates per department or type of traffic unit like "GANG#" for Gang units or "AP##" (airport) for LSIA units or "BL##" for Blaine County Sheriff units.

Any chance you would consider releasing the plates with the images you are using as well or if you didn't make them, could you post a link of where you got them? (I got the add on mod, but I know you said in your video you replaced some of the ones from there with ones of your own)

You technically dont need any-on plate mods to change the design of plates. I will provide a link to one below to checkout a mod.

The concept to change plate designs is the same with or without the mod below:

Modify vehshare file, here is where the plate designs are. Change designs here.

GTAV\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday27ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd

Then locate carcols.ymt file after remembering the plate number(s) you just modified.

carcols.ymt is in update.rpf/x64/data is where plate data is, so you will see the names for the plate (like plate05=police guv plate)

-also change color of text here

To change license plate per car:
go to carvariations.meta file for car, it will be in a different place depending on if add on car or stock car

then in carvarations.meta, set plate probabilities for each car.

<plateProbabilities>

<Probabilities>

<Item>

<Name>police guv plate</Name>

<Value value="100"/>

</Item>

</Probabilities>

</plateProbabilities>

yeah sorry maybe I didn't communicate clearly what I was meaning. You have custom plate images with the different badges etc on them and what I was asking for is those images to replace the plates that come in the Mod: https://www.gta5-mods.com/paintjobs/new-license-plates-add-on

I did all of the other steps, have the add on mod already etc. I was just wanting the fancy plate images with the lspd, trooper, sheriff badges etc. I hope that makes more sense of what I am asking.

Gotya!

It is simple to create one for yourself,

Use any image editer (I use GIMP) and put in any logo you want on the "plate#".dds files.

If you have san andreas highway patrol, find a SAHP logo and paste it into the plate.

Same goes for any other department. You can use AI to generate logos too, I used AI for one of my plate images.

Make sure to check the background and lettering in game of the plates first using a trainer. For example, you wouldnt want to use a plate with a black background for standard white plate because you then would have black lettering on a black plate.

Even if I gave you my plates, they wouldn't match the format because I changed the colors, fonts, and some offsets (one of the plates was cutting off the letters/numbers) so you may have black background with black lettering, white background with white lettering, etc.). I know for a fact I changed the plate05 (police guv plate) to black background and white lettering. (formats change in carcols.ymt)

P.S. I just released some plates, check link in this script or go to my page.

This is a great mod! Have you been considering adding an option, where you can also change plates via vehicle class (for example, all civilian cars would have abcd plate format, whereas select LE vehicles would have xyz1)? I think that would be a very cool option, as we currently lack scripts that'd allow custom license plates base on class as well as individual vehicles 😀

I've thought about doing it by class but the emergency vehicle class is rather large,

Between all police, fire, ems, and service vehicles (like tow), I don't think it makes much sense to have all of them grouped as one.

My mod allows you to customize exact vehicles which I think is a better approach for allowing full customization.
