Will it have multiple liveries or just the one? 

Even if it comes with one texture slot, you can still add multiple textures.

How do you do that?

You export the only texture slot, then change the number (for example, car_sign_1 renamed to car_sign_2) and import to the .wtd file. Make sure you add it and not replace the other. Finally, use the same properties and you should have multiple liveries.

So.. I'll let the picture do most of the talking about my progress

This was the first test with four people in the back. It kind of worked, but also the result was that when I tried to get in, I was teleported in and a few seconds later teleported out, so it's definitely not fully working yet.

Unfortunately, I might have to release it with only four seats, in one version, and a version with the outside people holding on.

What I did should have worked, and it did, I managed to get a total of eight NPCs in the back of the car by spawning them. But once I first got out, I could not properly get back in and none of the NPCs would even try to get in. I really want at least four in the back so I will continue to try to figure out why it won't work properly, but at the same time I will continue to finalize it so that I can release it even if I haven't found the solution yet.

 

In other news, Sgt. Kanyo let me use his handling line from a GTA IV bearcat and it works great in GTA V.

I also added a trailer hitch because in the future, after I release the vehicle, I plan on making some sort of bomb disposal trailer, hazardous waste, or some other kind of specialty trailer. I'm pretty intrigued about all of the possibilities with trailers in V.

I think I will try to make the car a little less shiny/reflective and then it'll probably be ready for initial testing.

 

Feel free to post with any suggestions, ideas, questions, or comments.

She's coming along great

Looks great and i like the idea of the trailers. Maybe give it a matte black finish? Might suit it well.

So the power supply in my desktop blew on Friday and i just fixed it today so it put me slightly behind schedule, but I am planning on getting it finished up and released this weekend.

That sucks, I hope the test fire shows that it was the power supply that failed. How long did you have the power supply?

Yeah, I just ordered a new one and installed it so now I'm back to working on the bearcat. I had the power supply for at least a few years so it probably died of natural causes.

Ah, aged a bit, maybe it had some leaking capacitors. You could send me the old power supply, I will tear it down and determine the cause of death. In school, I am taking an IT class, so I know how to repair a computer, I am also taking a CCNA class so that I could learn how to configure networks.

It's not a dead body.. I don't think people really care the cause of death on an old PC part dying. waste of time tbh. If it's old, just toss it and buy a replacement. 

Just made a LAPD skin !!

Nearing the end..

I hope to release the bearcat tomorrow, 2/6/2016. If I can't however, then I will definitely release it the next day on 2/7.

 

I finished making all of the LODs (L0-L3) using zModeler3's handy optimization tool.

The windscreen also now cracks and shows bullet holes (just have to do that to the rest of the windows)

The lights are also all in place now (On the first try too!), and I'll have a video before, or on, release.

The last few things I have to do is tweak the collision model a little and fix any minor bugs I come across.

 

A few more screenshots in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

The lights in action

 

 

I turned up the brightness so you could see the cracked windscreen. The extralights look like they're on when it gets dark, so I might have to take them out for the release unless I can find someway to fix it. It uses the exact same texture as the headlights and those don't look bright when off and it gets dark so I don't really know why it does that at this point.

Can't wait to use it!

Looks awesome!

Hows it going with the Cat i only finally managed to fix my game 

Very sorry about the delay but I've run into a bug that is quite major and makes the car fairly useless.

I'll work on it tomorrow and I'm sure I can get it fixed and uploaded by tomorrow on (2/8/16).

Damn that sucks :(

Do you think you could try adding multiple seats to the back of the bearcat? Yard was able to figure out how to have 8 peds in the back of the riot by editing vehiclelayout.meta

Also, more peds hanging off the side would be cool too. Maybe 4 on each side?

 

EDIT:I can send you Yards vehicle layout file if you want to try it out.

when will you release it? :DD
