Hello everyone,

 

I downloaded ALM 2 from: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I also downloaded the following cars:

 

YARD1'S BRAVADO BUFFALO: 

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

LT.CAINE'S VAPID STANIER CRUISER:

 

and also GTA V livery pack: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

I then edited my ALM file to match what the skins were in the cars:

// AREA LIVERY MOD CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

// - V2.0 (June 2014)

// - Developed by Sam

// ---------------------------------------------------

// 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

The ALM file is getting ignored it seems as the skin that is used for the correctional facility is appearing in other parts of Alderney. I don't know how to add more than 4 skins.

The skins btw are named like "buf2_sign_4" etc, is that what I am meant to put next to POLICE= instead of 3/4 and what not like above?

ALM is a bit confusing in its setup since the number you put in the area config for the livery you want is one less than the actual livery number. For instance:

For *_sign_1, you put 0.

For *_sign_2, you put 1.

For *_sign_3, you put 2.

For *_sign_4, you put 3.

Your vehicles must have +livery in their vehicles.ide for this to work.

For example, from my own config:

// -----------------
// VEHICLES
// -----------------

[FBI]
Enabled=True

[NOOSE]
Enabled=True

[NSTOCKADE]
Enabled=True

[POLICE]
Enabled=True

[POLICE2]
Enabled=True

[POLPATRIOT]
Enabled=True

[POLICE3]
Enabled=True

The top part states that the vehicles "FBI, NOOSE, NSTOCKADE, POLICE, POLICE2, POLPATRIOT, and POLICE3" are to have multi-livery enabled. The vehicle you are trying to use must have something similar to that in the "VEHICLES" section, like so:

[VEHICLE_NAME]
Enabled=True

If it does not, the vehicle will not be able to switch liveries per the area.

Now for an example for the second part - the area settings:

// -----------------
// ALDERNEY
// -----------------

[ACTER]
FBI=0
NOOSE=0
NSTOCKADE=1
POLICE=0,3
POLICE2=0,3
POLICE3=1,2
POLPATRIOT=0,3

In this example, in Acter the FBI vehicle will display *_sign_1 only, the NOOSE vehicle will display the *_sign_0 livery only, the NSTOCKADE will display *_sign_2 only. Next up, for multiple liveries, the POLICE vehicle will spawn randomly with *_sign_1 or *_sign_4, the POLICE2 vehicle will similarly spawn with *_sign_1 or *_sign_4, the POLICE3 vehicle will spawn with *_sign_2 or *_sign_3, and the POLPATRIOT vehicle will spawn similarly to POLICE/POLICE2 - *_sign_1 or *_sign_4

Hope this helps!

Yeah thats great thanks :)
