Great ! 

 

I had a peek. I found the audio files, in search for GTA V siren tones to swap with our custom tones. Is there a way to edit the files, like converting ACW format into .wav ?

​I doubt it. I think we still have to wait for a way to open the format. I've never seen it before. It's probably going to be some more time until siren and/or car mods are a thing, you could always view and export the audio files since OpenIV supported GTAV (version 2.5) only thing you can do now is replace them.

 

however somebody should experiment with it, since you can replace files now.

I want to see siren mods! 

let the modding begin!

I'm going to extract some police radio sounds and set them as my phone's text alert sound. If I can find them.

Glad to see there's a tool to crack and edit the archives!

 

Now we just wait for alternative programs to pop up...

Now I am just gonna edit the living fuck out of those terrible LSPD liveries.

Now I am just gonna edit the living fuck out of those terrible LSPD liveries.

​FYI, editing liveries on default cars is hard. The cars don't use the full-car single image livery you see on mods; rather, the basic livery design is baked into the model itself (which is one reason modded cars are hard on your system -- default cars have *much* smaller textures, because the livery texture is much smaller). Basically, most of the color in a default design is done by mapping different parts to primary and secondary colors from carcols (that's how the LCPD's stripe was done in IV: the stripe was mapped to the secondary color, and wasn't in the texture); complicated design elements are all gathered up next to each other in a livery texture, and different patches on the texture are mapped to multiple spots on the car. For instance, the left and right doors on the Interceptor are mapped to the same section of the police_new2 texture in vehshare (as are all cop cars, reducing texture load even further); nothing you do in the texture file will make the left and right side not be identical across both doors. So, if you try putting a seal on the front door, it'll be on the rear door on the other side. Most livery changes will have to wait for model editing, because until you can remap the car you can only change the contents of design elements, not change the basic setup of the livery.

​Shit. 

I am just gonna go cry for a bit now. 

:(

I see a problem in which it's difficult to run 2 mods that use the same file. I wonder if they'll be a way around this. 

Woop! Finally, the moment we've been waiting for.

Let me know if you do

​Because they can't be played by anything, I guess any media player just doesn't support them. OpenIV will figure a way to convert them or have them work on what media players we have.

So this is how vanilla dies, with thunderous applause.
