Hi people,

 

I've been trying to get addon cars to spawn in-game. I have already managed to make Ultimate Backup use the cars, but I would also like the cars to spawn like the vanilla police cars do,  so the ambient spawning.  I don't want to overwrite the existing cars, I just want to add some new ones to the list.

 

By searching around I found that I need to make these changes in the agency.xml file which is in the LSPDFR folder in the game's root.  The reason why I am asking this here is because I have 3 different agency.xml files in my game's folder. I have added a screenshot so you can see for yourself.

 

1. Agency_eup.xml is by far the biggest file. I believe it's from the EUP Backup configurations I have downloaded, so Ultimate Backup uses the EUP contents
2. This is the default agency.xml, very vanilla
3. I have downloaded EUP L&O and S&R through LML, this one is from L&O

 

Now, I have no idea which file is being used by my game. I think it's either 1 or 3, but I am still not sure which.

I'd love to know if someone else might has an idea!

Agency_eup is just that. Its for EUP.
The second one is the one LSPDFR defaults too.
The third I believe is what you get when you install LML stuff...?

Yup you're right, about all 3 of those I believe. But would you know, or could you guess which one my game would prefer? There must be a file the game looks for first, among these 3. There must be some hierarchy to it right?

 

It doesnt help that the 3rd one (the LML stuff) is a EUP download (Law & Order). So there's 2 EUP agency files, while only 1 is actually named after EUP. Really gets the gears grinding this one.

 

(Oh and thanks for your reply btw!)

If the others are EUP related, it would be the second.

Add additional units to Agency.xml and Angency_eup.xml, under existing units:

Alright thank you! As far as my testing has gone, I feel like Agency_eup is actually the file I need to edit. I use backup configurations different than the default ones that come with Ultimate Backup, maybe that explains why.

Thank you very much! I did stumble upon these kinds of text, but for many I have to give them a chance of spawning which has to lead up to a 100 in total, like so:

<Vehicle chance="30" livery="1">sheriff</Vehicle>
                <Vehicle chance="30" livery="1">sheriff2</Vehicle>
                <Vehicle chance="40" livery="1">lasd3</Vehicle>

 

The 3rd vehicle is a modded addon car.

Can I just get rid of the 'chance' part? Or is it there for a very good reason? 🙂

It's there for a reason. You cannot remove it.

Noted! Well I am managing to get the modded addon cars in my game, both as ambient police cars AND as Ultimate Backup spawns. So I got what I wanted, problem solved!

 

Thank you everyone!
