Hi guys, thought id post this here in case anyone else knows the answer. Im trying to add in game licence plates. I have UV mapped them, and have assigned them as vehicle_licenseplate but when i load the game their not working. The actual licence plate displays fine. It just doesnt have any writing on. What am i doing wrong and what do i need to do to make the plate text display? Any help with be appreciated. Thanks

Make sure you used the vehshare textures which contains the textures and configurations for the plate. You have to uv map (vehicle_generic_plate_font) onto the plate to get it to show writing.

Hi mate, i have used the vehshare textures. I've uv mapped it to plate01.dds with the transition map being vehicle_generic_plate_font.dds. Is there supposed to be a certain named dummy for the plate or anything?

No, but you can if you choose to.

Okay. Well this is how i have the texture set up and it still only shows the plate with no text. So do i swap the plate and the transition map around?

No, you have the correct setup. It should work. So is it not shwing at all or from a distance?

Its not showing at all mate. I used a trainer and the plate changes through all the different options, like the black plate, blue plate etc. It just doesnt show any text.

Try this, import a default police or sheriff model. Detach the tag from the vehicle and delete it. Now open your materials editor and delete all the materials except for the plate material. Delete the tag you have and place the new tag to your vehicle. That should fix it.
