Well, hello everyone! I've got what can only be described as a dumb question.

 

I want to keep my stock vehicles as after some clumsy mod finding I've managed to get the Premier to be identical to the Police and Taxi. I want to start texturing the Police Cruiser but have come across a slight problem as there aren't any texture files inside the police.wtd file to replace or otherwise. How exactly would I get around this obstacle without utilizing a modified Vapid Cruiser? I've tried some of the obvious attempts, using openIV to place the files inside (does nothing) or transplanting a .wtd from another Vapid mod (crashes). I imagine I need to do something to tell the model that the new .pngs are it's texture, right?

 

I've got the texture files already made as I've been collecting from a few pretty good Vapid-based mods and I intend these things to be personal in order to avoid upsetting anyone. This has probably been asked before, but I can't find any sign of it so.. Here goes!

I think you have to change the file in the vehshare.wtd in vehicles.img. The one with the police stuff on it. Problem is that the way it uses that texture makes it difficult to texture things nicely. I'm sure there's mods out there to help you, too.
