Hi,

I've been using LSPDFR for a while now, and I really enjoy it. I usually have no trouble editing or adding things, but I need your help with two issues:

 

How to force specific Vehicle Extras?
The police Coquette is a convertible, and the extra slots 1-4 correspond to different roof lights, while extra 5 is the car’s roof. The Coquette usually spawns either without a roof and with floating lights or with a roof but no lights. I’d like it to always have Extra 5 set to true, along with one of the extras from 1-4 set to true as well. Is there a reasonable solution for this? I know about ExtraManager, and I’ll use it as a last resort if I can’t find a better option.

 

How to add a new category to Ultimate Backup?
Currently, I have the "Local" and "State" categories, but I’d like to add a third one: High-Speed Police (which would call only the fastest police vehicles).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can't add more default units than state and local agencies. What you can do is create a special unit called high speed police.

Thank you. I have made new special unit and it works.
Now the issue is that the car liveries of that special unit are turned off.

<Vehicle is_mp="true" use_modkit_liveries="true" livery_multi="1,2" extra_5="true">polcoquette4</Vehicle>

<Vehicle is_mp="true" use_modkit_liveries="true" livery_multi="1,2,14,18">polgauntlet</Vehicle>

The same line of code works in agency.xml but doesn't work in SpecialUnits.xml

Ultimate backup does it a bit differently I think. Check other entries that use multiple liveries.

unfortunately Special Units and Default Regions xml do not have any DLC (MP) vehicles by default.

I switched to vanilla backup and it works fine. (at least for Coquette 😛)
"Ultimate backup (as of the file upload date) cannot currently use modkit liveries."
