Hi guys, i am desperate.

I want to replace police3 slot. But almost every mod i take, the lights doesnt work. The dont work properly.
There is a lot of topics about this but none of them seem to solve the problem.

Apparently there is no carvariations.meta with police3 with it.

Where i have to make new lines for police3 and what do i need to write?

Lines for carvariations should come with the car. Put the lines in mpluxe, I think.

You should check out this guide, it'll teach you anything you need to understand how things work! :)

You didn't read properly! :O

Let me quote it for you! :)

As you may have noticed, the police model has halogen and LED lightbar, the police2 model has only LED lightbar, and the police3 model has rambar LEDs on top of having a LED lightbar. Because of those different setups, the lighting setups are different depending on the car, because the lights have to flash differently depending on what setup is on what car. That's why sometimes you will install a car in the police slot, and find out once in-game that the lights are actually not flashing properly and do weird stuff. That's because the lighting setup needs to be modified for the lights to work properly.

Those light setups are written in files called carvariation.meta. When a car mod works with a different lighting setup than the original model it is supposed to replace, you will find in the installation instructions something called carvariation.meta lines. Those lines of code will have to be installed in a carvariation.meta file that will be specified in the installation instructions. They are absolutely needed for the lights of the car to work properly. At this point, all you have to do is follow the instructions, do as they say and you're good to go. To modify a carvariation.meta file, or any .meta file, you will have to extract it somewhere with OpenIV, open it with a software like notepad, modify what has to be modified and then replace the original .meta file with the one you modified.

• "Help, the lights of my car are flashing weirdly/seem to be misplaced!"

Once again, easy fix. I see it happen often with cars having to be installed in the police, police3 and sheriff slot, but it can happen in different slots occasionally. When lights are not flashing properly or seem weird, like lights appearing mid-air, floating over the car and so on, that means that you did not modify the carvariation.meta lines I mentioned earlier and that should be included with the car you downloaded. Simply follow the installation instructions provided with the car and you should be good to go. Scroll up if you want to know the reasons behind this.

 

Trust me, this guide helped me so much in understanding how car modding works, you should read it thoroughly! :)
