LSPD/LSSD HD textures for 2008 Chevy Tahoe 1.1

Was just waiting for this! Love it!

Awesome! Making these skins were top priority for me also.

Thanks man! Been waiting for something like this for the sheriffs.

Great job, man. And thanks for not uploading the model files.

I cant find Tahoe.ytd and ytf..??

This mod doesn't include any of the car files. You have to download them separately from the link in the description.

Yes of course, that's the rule for everyone to get along nicely. :)

Thanks for the car mod, it's awesome!

Any chance of multiple livery support in the future?

I have everything set up to easily make more but at the moment the car doesn't support multiple liveries.

I was hoping you'd be doing skins for this one, great work!

They just updated the template for the Tahoe, can you also please update the skin?

Thanks!!

Yes, I'll get a new version released in a few hours.

Hi mate do you know how to make the tahoe patrol also Los Santos? So it makes sense to put the LSPD livery. 

I replaced the police transport van with another Tahoe and put the LSPD liveries on it. Now the local SWAT arrives in Tahoes. To see it patrolling you have to replace police, police2 or police3. Those files will only work for policet (van) but you can do the same thing for any car.

1)Replace vehicles.meta in "update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5" -> so the Tahoe has the right engine sound and other stuff.

2)Replace handling.meta in "update.rpf\common\data" -> so the Tahoe handles like a Granger not a van.

3)Replace carvariations.meta in "update\x64\dlcpacks\mpluxe\dlc.rpf\common\data" -> so the lights, textures work properly.

MAKE BACKUPS of all the files you replace. I'm not responsible if these files break your game. Use at your own risk!

carvariations.meta

handling.meta

vehicles.meta

How come the black on this texture looks grey in my game?  I also tried with my own all black texture and it was still grey instead of black.  Any ideas on whats wrong?

Try increasing the Reflections quality in the Graphics menu. On Normal it will look grey but on higher settings it should look better.

It seems my OpenIV doesent have a "Replace" button inside the .ytd, do you know why?

You have to enable edit mode.

Found out, little embarassing... :)

Im trying to use this along with the Chevy Imala which also uses a carvariations file, but I cant find out how to merge them? Thanks

I don't think you need to merge them since they are installed in different dlcpacks. So the carvariations from the Impala won't overwrite the one from the Tahoe. But if one of them takes priority, open carvariations file from the tahoe and paste this under "<variationData>" (third row)

 Save the file then replace your old Tahoe carvariations file with OpenIV. 

Thanks, gonna try that out!
