I am new to LSPDFR.

 

I installed it and it ran fine until I I stalled ELS which was needed for a vehicle I installed.

 

https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/vehiclemodels/45791-new-chevy-silverado-undercover-blackout/

 

This is the vehicle and I followed the tutorial on YT to a T. 

 

The game works fine for a few mins then causes a crash for unknown reasons. 

 

I figured out how to install all the extra meta stuff and ELS stuff.

 

After the crash I tried other things which I found online to no avail such as a new game config and heap adjuster + package file limiter. 

 

Still crashes. 

 

Would be nice to know where to start looking so I can figure out where I've gone wrong or what needs updating.

 

Start by renaming mods to _mods. See if there are any further crashes.

Runs fine, no further crashes.

Now the car is missing and I can't seem to add it back in for some reason.

Looking into Open IV it's saying 'the mods folder - The archive you are currently editing is not located in "mods" folder.

If renaming mods to _mods works, rename _mods back to mods and try:
Installing the gameconfig, Heap and, Packfile Adjusters.
If that still doesnt work, you can remove what you added recently one by one and test after each removal.
If that still doesnt work, you will have to restart the mods folder.

Thanks! 

I will try that and get back to you.

 

As recently stated I only installed the above car and ELS.

So I managed to reset everything and removed that particular vehicle.

 

I've managed to successfully install another vehicle and all is fine.

 

I'm running into an issue installing some other vehicles though.

I have changed all the names of the vehicle files to fbi3 and the meta names to fbi3 but nothing comes up in the game garage..

 

I am trying to install the Dodge Charger SRT undercover add-on vehicle.

Unfortunately the creator doesn't include any good instructions on how to install the specific cars and only have a link to a basic YouTube video whoch doesn't include instructions detailed enough.

 

Am I doing that right by naming it as fbi3 or does it only allow fbi and fbi2? 

I am slowly adding a few new plugins and cars over time to make the game lively, normal vanilla LSPDFR isn't fantastic with just pursuits all the time.

 

Do you have a personal list of great mods to make LSPDFR really worth while? 

I'm currently looking at the callout packs, radar and a few other wee things.

That is because this vehicle name isn't a base vehicle. You can create an addon but you would also have to make the appropriate meta files to go along with it. Then you would have to edit the duty_selection.xml for the vehicles to show up in the garage when you go on-duty.

As for other stuff to install, you can try looking here.

Sweet so we can only overwrite existing stock vehicles in game?? Limited to the amount of stock vehicles in game to overwrite with adding cars? 

 

I have an adding charger in FBI already, if I put another vehicle as FBI will that overwrite the other addon or cause issues or can I choose between the 2 in the garage menu.

 

Thanks for that other tip to edit.

Like I said, if you have the meta files, you can make it into an addon vehicle. But if you want to straight up replace, then yes, you are limited to what is in the game.

Ok so let me get this right.

For an addon vehicle can I not name it FBI3? 

 

It seems when I replace anything in FBI2 I seem to get the crash.

Yes. You would just need the appropriate metas to accompany it.

Sweet getting there.

Could you just confirm exactly where to put the meta?

Is it the MODS - update -update.rpf - common - data - levels - GTA5 vehicles meta? 

Or is it MODS - update - x64 - dlcpacks - MODDING - dlc.rpf - common - data - levels - gta5 - vehicles - vehicles.rpf - vehicles.meta? 

 

This issue is the addon cars do not come with detailed instructions aside from a youtube link which doesn't cover the meta at all. 

 

Is there a part in the forum that has detailed instructions on how to add vehicles? As I'm following the YouTube instructions and it only leads to a crash.

 

I'm trying to install this as fbi3

This one if you are using the addon dlcpack by Albo.

Thanks heaps

 

One more question.

If more than one plugin requires me to place the ragenativeui.dll into yhe GTA5 folder what do I do there? 

As it asks me to overwrite each time.

I now have the super callous plugin installed but the prowler radar also wants to put its own RAGENativeUI.dll into the GTA5 folder. Or are these .dll files that come with them all the same .dll??

Once you have the latest one downloaded, you can skip installing it with the other plugins. SuperCallouts should have the updated version of RNUI.

Unfortunately none of the addon cars work in this folder.

 

I can only get them to work in the x64e vehicles.rpf.

The only downside to this is I cannot access any car variations to edit the siren to 1 as traffic is not responding by pulling over.

 

Is there a better place to install addon standalone cars (police) where I can still have access to a car variation and vehicles.meta?? 

 

I have figured out how to replace the stock police vehicles sweet as and have access to the variations and meta there. Just having trouble finding exactly where to put standalone addon cars with the variations file.

 

I tried in the above (albos) but I think its for DLC files only? Not for addons? 

There are just so many locations that online tutorials and help provide. I just want the right one for addon police cars where I can edit the car variations and vehicle meta

Nope. That is pretty much it. As long as you use a template for both meta and you add the entries correctly, they will work fine.

Can you please provide the best address in the folders for this.

 

I cant find a car variations when I put them in the 64e vehicles.rpf

I'll dumb it down a bit as I rambled.

 

I installed addon police vehicles successfully In 64e vehicles.rpf. The issue I'm facing is there is no car variations file I can edit which corresponds to the 64e vehicles.rpf.

The police vehicles I added as an addon work fine but AI vehicles do not respond to the lights and sirens.

All I'm wanting to do is correspond a car variations to 64e or find a better place to install the addon cars where I have access to a car variations.

 

At the moment I tried installing in the patchday28 vehicles.rpf and I have updated the car variations and vehicles.meta but none of them show in game to spawn with the F4 menu. 

 

You mentioned I have to make them into a pack myself? As in turn them into a dlc.rpf? I have no clue how to do that...

 

Your help in finding the best place to install these properly is much appreciated.

 

As I've said there are so many tutorials, they're all using completely different folders though and alot of the addon cars I've chosen do have a README for a youtibe video link which does not explain it fully which is a waste of time.

Vehicles.meta: mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5

Make sure the appropriate flags are added so that AI respond to them. Additionally, if it is ELS, press J three times.
