Good morning,

I would like to install EUP Emergency uniforms pack (Law & Order and Serve & Rescue) with LML without using the package installer of OpenIV, so I can enable and disable it with a click in ModManager as can be done with the other mods.

The problem is that I don't know how to convert the .oiv package to a suitable xml file for the install.xml. Has anyone a solution or tried to do this operation?

 

Another question I have is if I can load a custom eup_componentpeds.rpf and eup_componentpeds_p.rpf already prepared with the uniforms I want.

Converting all changes from the RPF would definitely involve quite a bit of work, but you do not need to do that as you can just load RPFs via install.xml too. Not as fine-grained, but for your use case seems to be sufficient. You can use <DlcRpf>dlc.rpf</DlcRpf> (without a resource tag of course) to load a RPF directly. Refer to the install.xml documentation for more information.

 

 

ok and what about the first question?

That will largely depend on how complex the OIV is and might require a deeper understanding of the mod itself to know what modifications are made where and why. I think OIV is just a zip archive, so you can open it that way.

EUP has an LML package already. If you install that version, installing any mod that changes EUP should be as easy as just replacing the default EUP files within its LML directory with the contents of the mod's rpf files.

 

See below image for EUP's LML download: 

 

Specifically, if you open your mod's eup_componentpeds.rpf, you should find a bunch of folders called "mp_f_freemode_01" or similar. You would just extract these folders to Grand Theft Auto V\lml\EUP_L&O_Public\content\stream\peds

I understand but I want to install the version 8.1 because the italian uniforms (https://it.gta5-mods.com/player/divise-italiane-eup-per-lspdfr-0-4-italian-uniforms-daniele1) have not been updated yet for 8.2 (and probably never will be).

Are there significative changes from 8.1 to 8.2? I can try to install EUP 8.2 with LML and replacing the files with the custom ones provided for 8.1 but I'm not sure the slots are the same.

I forgot to say that the author of the italian uniforms also provided the single files without having to extract them from the eup_componentpeds.rpf (attached images).

 

Thanks for the help!
