After being inspired by Yard1's work in this area, I have created a  HQ package with GTA "in-game universe" livery. This pack includes all the files you need, (textures and model files) to fully update your game with a bit of colour in the countryside...

Unit numbers have been assigned to not conflict with the LSPD units (such as a chase between areas)

'missing' textures' in the Sheriff Maverick have been located and are present in this pack.

Includes bonus USCG predator for the water babies. 

nb. until we are able to modify car files and proper texture mapping is available, the sheriff cruiser's door decals are compromised (simple flipped only)

Project updated to release status

*** UPDATE *** The 'bonus' textures are ready first (the coastguard ones) ;)  If you haven't already used Yard1's coast guard update, these are based on them, but more in canon with the GTA style than based on reality. Will update the vest patch for the coast guard ped's at a later point, I'm concentrating on vehicles at the moment.

Installation: please refer to Yard1's guide, the .ytd files go where his do! (the .png is for your reference only)

LOL at the starbucks logo for the Coast Guard. Great job looks neat. what about the sheriff cruiser, not possible?

​Thanks - thought the mermaid was appropriate! The cruiser isn't possible (yet) due to the R* texture mapping not supporting two-tone colour scheme AND double-door decals... I would actually prefer the stanier for the sheriff cruiser, leaving the interceptor for SAHP. I'll give it some time for the tech bods to enable vehicle editing!

Like I said on the other site, great work on that Interceptor. Since you mentioned the door mapping issue, one solution could be to place the LSSD badge logo on both sides of the text, if it would fit well enough.

What program did you use to edit textures in gta5,  how did you get templates for gta5 car's if not templates how did you make sure hte textures etc would all line up / look ok, and wht did you save and export the files as

sorry I like making texture's and there's not a lot of help out there
 

What program did you use to edit textures in gta5,  how did you get templates for gta5 car's if not templates how did you make sure hte textures etc would all line up / look ok,

OpenIV to extract, Photoshop, GIMP or various other programs. A lot of trial and error and simply working within the space the existing content was and checking it every time. That's what I would guess.

say for gimp what programs would we need to use and what file type do we save hte textures as

OpenIV recommends exporting in dds, I think. You'll need to track down a dds plugin for GIMP if I remember correctly.

So my question is what texture changes the SUV black texture. Because I edited all the Sherrif2.ytd textures into white which is what I want and in game it doesn't change. Am I missing something?

Are you using this file: update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday3ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf?

R* made updates to several police related things since release, and since the update files will superseed the base files, you'll have to change those instead.

Well you beat me to it....the sheriff colors and car swap part I never thought about the USCG but good job they look good.
