I had created my own uniform texture and it worked perfectly. Then, GTA V got updated a while ago. When I started up the game, the texture appeared like the original texture, but my texture was still in the s_m_y_cop texture file. I'm not sure why the texture is showing in game as the original ped texture, but in OpenIV, its my texture. Any ideas?

Try and check patchday8ng or patchday9ng for an updated cop ped model.

PERFECT! That's it! I see original cop ped textures there. Thank you both for helping me locate it!

You know, I don't see why they have to make little changes like that, which piss the rest of us off. It's like we have to go scavenger hunting for texture locations!!

No problem :) Glad its fixed

The easiest way to figure out where the recent textures, models, peds etc. is, is when you get OpenIV started and click on the search bar on the top right corner and type in something specific for example "s_m_y_cop_01.ytd." After you type anything in, it should say something like Search "s_m_y_cop_01.ytd in all archives" and click on that. Once you do that it will search for all files related to what you typed in through the whole GTAV game directory. It does not always have to be to specific though if you do not know the whole name of the file it could be something as simple as "cop" but it will take forever to find as there are a lot of files with the word cop in it, so it makes it easier to be specific when searching.  A few files will pop up if you typed it in correctly, and typically the ones highlighted in blue will be the most recently updated file and it will show a directory to this, which is what you want. I know this post was a while ago but some people do not use this method, but I do and I can say it saves a lot of time for us modders when trying to find files instead of jumping through hoops on the internet. Anyway, I hope this helps in making modding fun and simple for the future 🙂
