After upgrading from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8, my vehicles, assigned in ultimate backup, are unable to respond with their designated colors only their livery's. For example, I have my vehicles set to <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="100" color="black">POLICE2</Vehicle> but only different livery's appear as opposed to the color like I set it to be.  I have played around with it by changing the color names but to no avail. Can someone give me advice on how to fix it or if it can be fixed. 

Hiya!

 

This issue is odd. Just to confirm, are you calling backup through UB and have you updated it to support 0.4.8?

 

I should also add marked Police Vehicles cannot simply be turned "black" as the skin overrides this. This is not the case for unmarked vehicles however.

I am calling for backup via UB and UB 1.8.4.2 is the version I have. I had BluGhost's unmarked 2010 Charger in the police 2 slot 

Could you send those specific lines for that unit? (not the whole xml file)

Like this? 

 

<LosSantosCity>
            <VehicleSet>
                <Vehicles>
                    <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="100" color="black">POLICE2</Vehicle>

<Vehicle pax="3" color="blue" pax_chance="50">POLICE2</Vehicle>

                <Vehicles>
                    <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="100" color="black">POLICE2</Vehicle>

<Vehicle pax="3" color="blue" pax_chance="50">POLICE2</Vehicle>

Aha! Easy to make mistake! The chance must add to 100. Also 2 you want 2 possible backups? If not you can simply delete the last line

 

See if this fixes it 🙂

so like this?

 

<Vehicles>
                    <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="34" color="black">POLICE2</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="33" livery="3">POLICET</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle pax="3" pax_chance="33" livery="4">SHERIFF2</Vehicle>
                </Vehicles>

Pretty sure that should work!

 

Heading offline now but if it doesn't work have a look at defaultregions/specialunits.xml for guidance 🙂 

 

Best of luck : D

Thanks for all your help and suggestions, but it didn't work out so well it's still spawning more of the livery's than the color although the color responds rarely. 

Can I ask what backup this is for?

SWAT for City, County, and Blaine County 

Replace the diffusetint values with this for no tint: <diffuseTint value="0x00FFFFFF" />

 

This is found in vehicles.meta

 

(this is for another issue 🙂 )

ok and where do I go to change the tint for backup because they are still responding with the window tint now 

All in the vehicles.meta - it will apply to all

oh ok well that's odd that they didn't apply to the backup units 

That would be an issue with dirt. Often that can also cause this. In the vehicles.meta there are 2 lines about the minimum and maximum values for dirt. Set them both near to 0

thanks again that worked

Glad to hear 😄
