I am using bxbugs123's lapd cvpi. Sometimes it spawns with a lightbar, sometimes with slicktop interior lights.Since they are both extras sometimes neither spawn at all and it just has no lights except for the corner strobes that are not extras and are always there. Is there any way to make it so it randomly spawns certain extras without using the custom backup mod. I find the mod way to confusing bc there are so many customization options, and tbh i dont need that many options.

Go into your LSPDFR folder, and open the backup.xml. From here you can add his CVPI and force extras.

<Vehicle extra="1">police</Vehicle>

Thanks this will help, is there any way in this backup.xml file that you can put randomized extras so that it always has to spawn with say extra 3 or 4 or with both but never without?

I'm not too sure if you can randomize them in the way you're wanting, sorry I can't offer more there.

Also, in case you weren't aware, you can force extras in the vehicle meta, but again, no idea if you can have them be random.

yes i do know about forcing extras in the vehicle meta and I have tried both the backup.xml now and the meta and neither of them work, so not sure what to do now.

What do you mean don't work?  As in the vehicles can still spawn with no lights?  I advise just forcing slicktop interior lights, so that way there is already some form of lights.

You've actually put them in the wrong spot.  Here, look at where mine is.  The vehicles list should go under the <VehicleSet>

                                                                                                                                                                                          <Vehicles>

Question: How are you testing this out?  Are you spawning the vehicles in?  or calling in backup?

calling in backup since those are the vehicles i want the extras to spawn in on

I'm honestly not sure why it isn't working. You can force certain liveries in the backup.xml, so it's safe to assume it works for extras.  Go into the vehicle metas and force it.

Just to make sure, in the meta, it should look like this:  <requiredExtras> EXTRA_1</requiredExtras>

In the event of multiple extras, <requiredExtras>EXTRA_1 EXTRA_2</requiredExtras>

Yeah just tried doing it in the meta and that doesn't work either.

I'm sorry to say, I have no clue.  This is how I have one of my cars, and it always spawns in with the extra. Are you sure you're editing the correct vehicle?

Yeah i tried that with a different vehicle, that i actually only need one extra in on it, and that didnt work either, it doesnt seem to be just for the police slot, it is like it does not want to work on any of my vehicles.

It's starting to sound like more of a weird issue with your game.  I'm not sure what else to tell you, unfortunately.  For now I think you just have to deal with it.

Ok. Also I know this does not have anything to do with this thread, but do you know, if when i install an OIV pack, when it automatically installs the vehicles meta, does it replace the entire meta, or just the one vehicles meta lines inside it. Or does it depend on the author.
