I've been at this for about an hour and half now. I've installed 2 addon cars, and I can spawn them using a trainer just fine. I can drive them. They work perfectly.

 

But when I try to set them as backup cars in Ultimate Backup, they simply refuse to spawn. I've edited LSPDFR DefaultRegions file(before I realized that I probably have to do it in UB. Oops), DefaultRegions in UB, CustomRegions in UB, Special Units file. Nothing seems to work. I'm trying to add some Highway Patrol cars to the state patrol backup option, and in Ultimate Backup most of the time(All the time it seems for me) it spawns the Undercover cop car. No matter what I do, I cannot add my added cars to the pool. I even tried removing the police4 lines, leaving just the added car - and then it spawned a police bike. Which does have low spawn percentage.

 

Is it some sort of memory issue? Maybe the custom car uses more memory than vanilla ones? If so how do I bypass that to get them to spawn?

 

Sorry if the text is messy. I'm a bit tired after trying to fix this thing. Of course there is a possibility that I'm just doing something completely wrong - I'm not even a modder. Lol.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Other than modifying UB xml files, you have to change LSPDFR  default "Agency.xml." Simply add the police vehicle's name under the default patrol vehicles. 

 

If you have EUP, same step applies. 

I just checked, I have. In Agency.xml, I put the addon cars under San Andreas Highway Patrol. I can't see police4 anywhere(Did a keyword search), but it spawns when I call in state backup.

 

In UB Customregions I also put the 2 addon cars under San Andreas Highway Patrol, which has police4 as the sole car. I even tried removing police4 lines, and leaving only the addon car lines there, but it still spawns the police4 car only.

 

 

Edit. Well fu**. I'm an idiot. I edited the right file BUT IN THE WRONG LOCATION. I had my mods folder open(a place where I store all mods from all games on my hard drive). I edited that file. 

 

I edited the actual file that's in the GTA folder, and it works.

 

 

 

 

I think I'll go drink some beer now so that I can forget this embarassement.

Yeah, it takes a while to understand where to put stuff correctly. I had difficulty with changing AI default uniforms, especially in the county and troopers. If I recall, I think I tried to change mine in more important plugins that I would call for backup, transports, emergency vehicles, etc from.. off the top of my head Ultimate Backup or Stop The Ped.
