Hi there,

just looking for some help when it comes to changing car models. I'm trying to install some different police cars and  have followed the instructions that come with those cars. I'm using openiv and made sure it was in edit mode. after dragging the car models into the correct folder I then closed openiv and loaded gta however the cars had not changed and  I still had the originals. can anyone help

thanks

Go to OpenIV. Click tools and then go down to the manager bit (sorry if any of this is wrong, doing this from memory!). Make sure you all three of OpenIV tools installed, especially the one that enable your mods folder. Go to the dlcpack bit from your update.rpf folder, where it shows you all your patchdays, (make sure you are in edit mode before you make your way to the patchdays) and go to patchday13, copy it to your mods folder, there will be a message to automatically copy it, don't drag and drop it into the mods folder. 

 

Now, when ever you want to add a new vehicle to your game, just drag and drop the vehicle files from wherever to the vehicle.rpf in patchday13 in your mods folder. 

 

That should work.

this is the latest patchday that I have and it doesn't hold any other files than what is shown. I'm so lost xD

I think you've went into the wrong file. See that second image you've uploaded, where it says patchday5? Count down 6 files until you see update, then it does to x64, then update.rpf. Go through those files until you find patchday13. 

This is what's in that folder, no patchday13

Ok try this. Update>x64>dlcpack. Patchday13 should be in there.

I find replacing the files rather than dragging them in works best. (Also in a mods folder), that makes sure they are assigned to the correct slots.

Also make sure all your loaders etc are installed in Open IV  so the game loads the modded files from the mods folder and not the originals.

by replace, do you mean deleting the originals then dragging the new ones in? I have all the loaders installed so theres no reason for the game not to take from the mods folder

no. if you have the right folder copied to the mods folder, then go into edit mode, find the file you want to replace, right click and hit "replace", then select your file in the window, that way you have complete control over what you're replacing and know it's actually replacing what you want, where you want.

also, cant get ELS to work? have checked all files and theyre all up to date, have deleted then re installed it. this game is doing my head in now

So the way I work it and it hasn't failed me yet. Get OpenIV and the file with your vehicle files side by side on your desktop. Go to the most recent patchday and copy it to your mods folder (I now use patchday13 for all vehicles). (Lets use patchday13 as the example) Open patchday13 in your mods folder then simply drag and drop all the vehicle files that you want from the downloaded file, into patchday13. That should be you, try it out!

 

P.S remember to put the ELS files into the els folder (you can do it through OpenIV or just through your directory.

okay, so at last the vehicles have worked however now my els isn't working, I was previously able to open the ELS menu and do everything but now I cant. All these vehicles are ELS enabled as well. Thanks for your help as well!

Well of it worked before, just try and install it how you did before. I get the feeling it's something to do with the Advanced Scripthook file. Let me know how you get on.
