Okay....

I am getting into replacing the liverys on the stock cop cars. If I wanted to put together my own 4 liverys how would I do that? How do I open a .WFT or .WTD file?

1.Open Spark IV

2.Find the desired .wtd file

3.Click 'edit' on the top right corner

4.Find the stock livery #1 and click it.

5.On the top,click 'Import images' and import your texture.

6.Do the same with rest.

7.Click,'Save and close',then 'Rebuild' and 'Save'.

8.Now do I really need to write the 8th step?

Not at game computer right now......can I view the livery with spark4?

No.You need Open IV to do that.Place the desired file in GTA4 directory anywhere and you can open it with Open IV.Spark IV doesn't support these kind of requests.

You can't use liveries on stock cars. Luxart did map them at GPM; those have the same design as stock, relatively low poly (compared to real cars, at least), and a template.

Yeah,might be possible.Well,I didn't see that.

I am using files from Lt.Caine to replace the stock cars. Low poly non-els cars.

• Actually I just discovered with the latest Spark4 you CAN view the liverys. Learning alot here. This is great!
  

Riddle me this Batman....

Can I use an older texture file (.wtd) on a newer release of a model file (.wft)? Like if I wanted to use CVPI model (.wft) version 7.4 but I wanted an older skin on it (say CVPI version 6.9 skin (.wtd) as an example can I do that?

Probably not. What you can do is export the texture you want from the old .wft, and import it into the new .wft.

To do this, import the old .wft using SparkIV (if you have already replaced it). Select it and hit Edit. Select the texture you want, and click Export, then Save and Exit. Next, import the new .wft, and hit save. Select the file and click Edit. Select the texture you want to replace, and click Import Texture, and browse to where you exported it from the old file. Save, Exit, etc.

The reason why you cannot simply import the .wft itself is because it has all of the textures used in the vehicle, not just the skin, and depending on the model/creater, it could screw up some textures.

Yes,most likely.All the CVPI templates are almost same,as far as I've observed.
