Hello,

I have problems with installing police-car plugins. I tried several, but they do not spawn in the gameworld. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Some help is much apreciated.

I follow exactly the Readme 's (if they have one) and replace the corresponding files. If it replaces (e.g.) police3, I spawn police3 in RageHook (F4) but it still spawns the original model, not the replaced one.

Do I miss something?
I have the latest version of Ragehook plugin and OpenIV, the GTA-V steam-version, I have installed the ASI plugins in OpenIV, and always use the Edit-mode.
I replace the car-files, and, if it says so in he readme, I replaced the vehicles.meta too. Then spawn them in the gameworld (F4), but they never appear. I tried with several car-plugins. You can say, the top 6 from the most downloaded police-car plugins. All 6 do not spawn.

Who can help? If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

 

Which police3 models did you replace? Change the ones in patchday4ng. 

Thanks for your quick reply, Aquamenti

I replaced the files in patchday4ng, or other locations, if the readme says so.

But in this topic:

I read something about manual add the car to the vehicles.meta. But it says nothing about how/what to write in that vehicles.meta.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I really don't get it.

I'm only learning things, but as far as I can understand you don't need to do that unless you're creating brand new vehicles. If you're downloading a vehicle that's supposed to replace the vehicle you're replacing, then you don't have to edit those files.  I recently downloaded Lundy's Declasse Merit which was intended to replace the Stanier. I replaced police3 instead and so I had to add a few lines to a carvariations file according to the very same tutorial you referred to.

Did replacing the models in patchday4ng work for you? I only know that it worked for me.

I really appreciate your help!

But also Lundy 's Merit Policecar does not spawn in the gameworld.

This is what I did, step by step.

- With OpenIV I navigated to x64e.rpf/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf
- go to Edit Mode
- I replaced the files police.yft, police.ytd, police_hi.yft and the police+hi.ytd by drag/drop them into OpenIV.
- I did not rebuild because OpenIv says that is not necessary.
- I closed OpenIV and started GTAV with RagehookPlugin.
- In game I opened Ragehook-console with F4 and typed "spawn police" (without the quotes)
- The default Vapid policecar was spawning.

What did I wrong or have I missed?

Yeah for me x64e.rpf/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf  didn't work either.  It was \update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday4ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf

Thanks for your help, Aquamenti, 

I can install my favo policecar now.
Thanks.

Actually dragging and dropping doesn't work when editing GTAV files. Use the "+" icon in the toolbar.

If your ultra lazy about finding DLC's to place vehicles. I placed all mine in the latest DLC and they have all worked perfectly.(patchday8ng i think atm)

When I install mods with open iv the game is updated, because ???

Use OpenIV's mods folder or a mod manager.

It solved, because the game was updated (I have the "mods" folder) :)
