Area Livery Mod

[Brammo311 0]

Both versions of ALM (old and newer) seem to have an issue for me. Liveries aren't appearing as I've told them to in the config file, and they are also changing every 10 second right in front of me, even on the vehicle I'm driving

 

Any suggestions?

[CrossFire 689]

I am having this issue as well, anyone have any ideas on how we could fix this?

[The Loot 476]

Haven't run in to those issues myself. Can you post your INI file?

// AREA LIVERY MOD CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
// - V2.0 (June 2014)
// - Developed by Sam
// - © Copyright 2012, G17 Media
// ---------------------------------------------------

// ---------------------------------------------------
// INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIVERY SETTINGS
// - There are now an unlimited (read note!) number of available liveries for you to choose from,
// - namely livery 0 to livery x 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 x-1

// NOTE ABOUT NEW LIVERY CAPABILITIES INTRODUCED BY ADVANCEDHOOK
// - By default GTA IV only supports 4 liveries per vehicle.
// - Thanks to research and development by LMS, we are now able
// - to support an unlimited number of liveries with AdvancedHook.

// - It is // essential // that you note, however, that using too many liveries (even 8 can be too many),
// - can and // WILL // result in a BROAD RANGE of problems including, but not limited to,
// - TEXTURE LOSS, POP-IN, SLOWNESS, FREEZING, CRASHES TO DESKTOP and MODELS/PEDS/CARS NOT SPAWNING.

// INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
// - All areas of Liberty City can have declarations assigned to them, as well as certain roads.
// - By default, every supported road and area in ALM has been provided below.

// - To restrict a certain livery to a certain area of Liberty City,
// - you can define area-specific, model-specific livery rules,
// - of which an example is shown below:

> [AREA_NAME]
> POLICE=0,1,2
> POLICE2=3,4,5
> AMBULANCE=4

// - This example will force police cars of model 'POLICE' to spawn with EITHER livery 1, 2 or 3.
// - This example will force police cars of model 'POLICE2' to spawn with EITHER livery 4, 5 or 6.
// - This example will force the ambulance of model 'AMBULANCE' to spawn with ONLY livery 5.

// - Note that for a vehicle model to be enabled with ALM - it must be defined in the VEHICLES section, like so:

> [VEHICLE_MODEL_NAME]
> Enabled=True

// - To disable a vehicle model in ALM - you must remove the lines for it entirely
// - Do note that to disable a vehicle model on a per-area basis, you simply need not
// - define it within the area - undefined models within areas will use random liveries.

// - To disable an area - you must only remove all model definitions under the header,
// - therefore to disable the fake example area shown above, you would remove the three
// - definition lines under the area name, leaving you with:

> [AREA_NAME]

// EDIT THE SETTINGS BELOW TO YOUR LIKING
// - BY DEFAULT, ONLY ALDERNEY HAS VALUES SET

My config file is the default one. Didn't change anything. I'll just make LCPD cops spawn in alderney and delete the Alderney State Police liveries on all my cars lol too bad this thing doesn't work.

[The Loot 476]

My config file is the default one. Didn't change anything.

 

Well, there's a problem. The default INI only has Alderney areas set up, so everywhere else will be random.

 

Why liveries are constantly changing, I'm not sure. I figure it's set to only set liveries once, and probably a certain minimum distance away.

That's how I wanted it though, I just wanted state police in Alderney and LCPD for the rest of the map, and the default .ini is setup that way already. However, the liveries are changing constantly and right in front of me, AND its still spawning the state police livery in the city when it shouldn't be...?

[The Loot 476]

Leaving an area completely blank allows ALL liveries to spawn, so if you don't want the Alderney livery to spawn, you have to put a line with all the other liveries you actually want there.

[cp702 1,930]

Do all of your cars actually have the liveries set up in the config (e.g. if you have a 4 in the config for police, does your police slot have a _sign_4 livery)? That could hypothetically cause a similar issue, maybe (though probably not). Also, did this also happen before you installed 1.0c and/or the AdvancedHook included in ALM 2.0?

1.0c is causing this? I figured something was up. Because it used to work before. Looks like I'm going back to 0.95! It's better anyway, at least you can actually use the taser and yell at people!

Are you using more than 4 liveries on the car? If not, 1.0c is *not* causing this. If so, it still likely isn't; unless the livery changes when you move the camera around (and reliably changes when you do so), it isn't 1.0c.

[Brammo311 0]

Yeah that's what it was doing, the livery would change if I moved the camera around while driving.

Weird ass glitch.

Also why does 1.0 always crash when you initiate or join a pursuit?

Were you using additional liveries (beyond 4)? That sounds kind of like a glitch that happened during the development of more-than-4-liveries, but I had thought that was fixed.

[Brammo311 0]

Nope. Just the standard 4.
