Hello.

I've been looking for an unmarked/undercover/slicktop Suburban for quite sometime but can't seem to find it anywhere.It'd be much appreciated if anyone will share theirs (if they have one) with me.

ELS: No bar

Multiple liveries: No bar.

I actually want it to be just black and slicktop because I'm gonna use it for undercover purposes.These are my only two requirements.If not suburban,then its sister models Avalanche or Tahoe would do.But not pickup,please.

Thanks in advance.

Unmarked Tahoe (NON ELS)

Best I could find.

Thank you so much,sir.I had one '08 Suburban from Bugs,too.But it didn't comply to one of my requirements: black color.Your Tahoe did.Thank you very much.

They might spawn as white but that's because the vehicles colours are generally determined by a separate file (unless there is a texture that goes over the car's basic colour).

To explain more clearly;

If you're replacing the FIB car, then it will spawn as black since the default FIB buffalo also spawns as black. However if you use it to replace the polpatriot, the car will spawn as white as that's what the base colour for the default polpatriot is.

To correct this and have your car spawn as a different colour than what the default is you need to edit the carcols.dat in gtaivcommondata

Simply find the car you wish to edit the colours for, eg.

fib 0,0,8

(the default line for the FIB buffalo in black)

and then either change the colour numbers to those from another vehicle or add extras

For example if I changed it to

fib 0,0,8, 34,1,45, 113,74,113,

It would spawn as black (0,0,8), dark red (34,1,45) and white (113,74,113).

Editing the carcols.dat is pretty simple but shouldn't be attempted without first backing up the original file and knowing for sure that's what you need to do. This also means you can do what I have done for my unmarked cars and have them spawn in a range of colours, other than just black or white. No one suspects the bright blue crown victoria!

Alternatively, you can apparently use SNT to change the colours of vehicles ingame.

Strange! Bugs' Suburban still spawned as grey as FBI.How can it be possible? Perhaps the car was given this "fixed" color while it was in development?

Maybe it was given a grey texture that goes over the base paint. Dunno.

Are you using this one?

It has a police_sign texture in the wft file that'd you'd need to replace with a blank one if you want it to spawn unmarked. (I'm guessing)

No,its this one:

If you can help me out,I'll be very grateful to you.And thanks again for all the help so far.

Yeah I can see from just looking at the pictures that it has an additional texture that goes over the vehicle.

To remove it you'll need to use sparkIV to open your vehicles.img, then open/edit the texture file (.wft), find the texture layer that it would be (most likely one that is very large and gray perhaps with some labels on it) and then import a black, transparent .png image to replace it.

I have made a replacement texture for you:

Just save this and use it to replace the gray texture in the .wft file using sparkIV

Thank you so much,Ekalb.I'm gonna download and apply the texture.Sorry for such late reply.I was away (I had to be away) for sometime.Thanks,again.

EDIT: Sorry but I was unable to figure out how to change that gray into black.I could see only one gray texture of 128X128 res. and I changed it to black,but made no difference.Its still gray.

The one your looking for is called subu_sign_1 (if I remember right, I don't think he called them police_sign_1 in that one). That is the texture for the car body.

Thanks,gnat326.But we took this to pm and solved it already.But still,I appreciate your help. :smile:
