Adding new livery to car

Followers

June 4, 20205 yr

How do I add a new livery to a car? Every tutorial I have found assumes you are replacing an existing texture. I am not. I have a slicktop police car with a regular police livery. I have created a transparent png to install as a second livery to make an unmarked unit. In the ytd file the skin is named "TahoePPV_sign_1" so I imported my png as "TahoePPV_sign_2" thinking the game would automatically recognize it as a second livery to choose from. That doesn't work I only ever get the marked skin when spawning in and my trainer menu won't let me change livery. All 3 items in the livery menu can only be 0 0 Stock.

From what I have been able to find it seems I named it correctly. From what I can tell its a problem with my carvariations.meta file, problem is I don't know what needs to change. I did add the "FLAG_HAS_LIVERY" flag to my vehicles.meta file.

I used the sample carvariations.meta from the Modding DLC pack for this car but my prolem is the same. Here is the carvariations.meta file:
