I can't really give you any better advise than to read the readme. Have you peeked inside the ini file? It's not that hard.

The readme says NOTHING. And the .ini i don't understand.

// INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIVERY SETTINGS

// - There are four available liveries for you to choose from,

// - namely livery 0 to livery 3 which correspond to the number

// - of the livery in the texture dictionary (.wtd) of the car,

// - with *sign_1 being livery 0, and *sign_4 being livery 3.

// - To restrict a certain livery to a certain borough of LC,

// - you can use the following values which correspond to

// - different parts of Liberty City.

 

// - ADY (Alderney)

// - BKR (Broker and Dukes)

// - AQN (Algonquin)

// - BHN (Bohan)

// - PRT (Port Tudor)

// - FIA (Francis International Airport)

 

// - EXAMPLE: ADY=0 - Forces cars in Alderney to use livery 1

// - EXAMPLE: ADY=1 - Forces cars in Alderney to use livery 2

// - EXAMPLE: BKR=2 - Forces cars in Broker and Dukes to use livery 3

// - EXAMPLE: BHN=0;3 - Forces cars in Bohan to use livery 1 or livery 4

// - EXAMPLE: AQN=0;1;2;3 - Forces cars in Algonquin to use livery 1, livery 2, livery 3 or livery 4

// - EXAMPLE: FIA=0;1;3 - Forces cars in Francis International Airport to use livery 1, livery 2, or livery 4

 

// - The category names below correspond to the model names of each

// - vehicle which you wish to define livery restrictions for.

// - To add a vehicle to the list, simply create a new section for it

// - below, using the same format as provided with the default vehicles.

 

[sETTINGS]

Threshold = 20.0

 

// This distance, in metres, is the distance from the player at which a vehicle must be further away

// than in order for it to have it's livery changed.  A higher value results in less accuracy, but

// prevents livery switching in blatant view of the player.  A lower value produces the opposite effect.

 

Range = 100.0

 

// This distance, in metres, is the size of the radius in which the script will search for the defined 

// vehicles around the player.  A higher value results in more accuracy, but decreases performance.  

// A lower value produces the opposite effect.

 

 

[POLICE]

ADY=0

BKR=2;3

AQN=2;3

BHN=2;3

PRT=0;1

FIA=2;3

 

[POLICE2]

ADY=0

BKR=2;3

AQN=2;3

BHN=2;3

PRT=0;1

FIA=2;3

Still no idea.

Yeah, I know what the file says. And in the ini file, it says exactly how to do it :) There are four available liveries for you to choose from, namely livery 0 to livery 3 which correspond to the number of the livery in the texture dictionary (.wtd) of the car, with *sign_1 being livery 0, and *sign_4 being livery 3. To restrict a certain livery to a certain borough of LC, you can use the following values which correspond to different parts of Liberty City.

• ADY (Alderney)
• BKR (Broker and Dukes)
• AQN (Algonquin)
• BHN (Bohan)
• PRT (Port Tudor)
• FIA (Francis International Airport)

 
EXAMPLE: ADY=0 - Forces cars in Alderney to use livery 1
EXAMPLE: ADY=1 - Forces cars in Alderney to use livery 2
EXAMPLE: BKR=2 - Forces cars in Broker and Dukes to use livery 3
/XAMPLE: BHN=0;3 - Forces cars in Bohan to use livery 1 or livery 4
EXAMPLE: AQN=0;1;2;3 - Forces cars in Algonquin to use livery 1, livery 2, livery 3 or livery 4
EXAMPLE: FIA=0;1;3 - Forces cars in Francis International Airport to use livery 1, livery 2, or livery 4

 

Then you just need to apply it to the model of the car, example:

[POLICE]
ADY=0 (EXAMPLE: ADY=0 - Forces cars in Alderney to use livery 1)
BKR=2;3
AQN=2;3
BHN=2;3
PRT=0;1
FIA=2;3

To begin, you need something like OpenIV, then you want to go to lets say police2. Lets say Livery_1 is Broker and Livery_2 is an airport livery, then you want to go to the ini and look at this...

 

[POLICE2]

ADY=0

BKR=2;3

AQN=2;3

BHN=2;3

PRT=0;1

FIA=2;3

 

With this you will change livery_1 (Broker) and coordinate that livery to spawn in broker (BKR), then you want to take livery_2 (Airport) and coordinate that livery to spawn in the airport (FIA). Last, you take the ini and fix it to those coordination with BKR=1 and FIA=2. Do you understand what I am doing? Lets say those were the livery then the setup would look like...

 

[POLICE2]

BKR=0

FIA=1

 

(notice i used 0 and 1 instead of the livery numbers 1 and two. I did this because Sam set it up so that 0=livery 1, 1= livery 2, 2=livery 3, 3=livery 4.)

 

Still have no idea... *Brain has molten into burnt marshmallows.

What is ALM, what does it do? I had it installed once and it does not do anything 

ALM is Sams Area Livery Mod that lets you use different skins to a specific car in different areas.

 

No one that can help me?

We have tried to. I really can't think of no way to make it clearer than it already is. Read through the ini file carefully. Follow the instructions and you'll make it. 

6th time, here we go! (sigh) Iv'e sorta figured it out, but how do you add the liveries?

OpenIV or SparkIV. There are step by step instructions on what you need to do already in this thread.

 

Have you ever installed a modded car?

I have installed a car before, that is easy, but the liveries i am getting annoyed on.

Did you use Spark IV or Open IV?

Open IV. Spark don't work for me.

Open IV. Spark don't work for me.

 

Open Open IV. You'll need to be using a modded car. Most of them come with four liveries.

 

Click on "Edit Mode."

 

Then select your desired vehicle's .wtd file, and select "Edit File."

 

You can then import new liveries and textures, you can probably find videos on it.

 

Find the file that says "police_1, 2, 3, and 4" and hit "replace." You can then add new liveries. Make sure they use the same template as your vehicle.

...and make backups! 

And make backups.

I don't have the police_1/2/3/4 in my WTD. I am using the vanilla cars.

Vanilla cars don't support multiple liveries. Install Lt.Caine's or Ekalb's modified vanilla cars with multiple livery support.

You cannot install liveries to the default vehicles since they have not been mapped.....
