Rockstar has added a new emergency vehicle to the game in the Doomsday Heist update, called the RCV. This new addition gives us modelers an extra slot to insert a vehicle model without having to make it an add on. I've seen people try to replace the RCV and it would not work out for them. But I have got it working correctly. Somebody pin this please

 

Here are two things you should note before you try to replace RCV:

1. RCV is actually called riot2 in open iv. So you need to name your model riot2 in zmodeler3.
2. RCV is not set up for paint3. You must change the paint of your vehicle to paint1 in zmodeler3. Otherwise any skins or templates wont show up in game. (Unless someone finds a way to make it work with paint3)

 

Okay. So if you ignore that second note. This is what your model will look like in zmodeler and openiv:

But this is what it is gonna look like in game:

You see, my template does not show up. If you change the paint to paint1. It will show up. Like this:

But its not done yet. RCV is designed to spawn with dark colors like grey. So we have to edit the carvariations to make the RCV automatically spawn with a white color so the skin is visible. The carvariations for RCV is located in Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpchristmas2017\dlc.rpf\common\data

 

Once you find the carvariations. Drag it onto your desktop, open it up, click edit, click find, and search for "riot2". This is what you will find:

Every spot it says "<indices content="char_array">" with numbers under it. You want to replace all the numbers with            

111

111
 0
156

 

In each spot so it should look like this:

        <Item>
          <indices content="char_array">

If you are too lazy to do this yourself, either copy the entry above. Or download my already edited carvariations here: (In medafire because I cannot upload it directly to LSPDFR)

After all that is finished. Your vehicle should spawn with its skin/template in white.

Should be here Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpchristmas2017\dlc.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5

something is still overriding it, even when I edit it in  Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpchristmas2017\dlc.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5

Is their a certain vehicle you are trying to edit in the vehicle.meta?

the riot2 which is the rvc (sorry for the late reply)

 

@Walters Thanks, I've been trying to figure this out for a while, and just use dark colored unmarked CVPI's most of the time. Here's another one for you. Do you know how to make PBUS function as a police vehicle? I've copied vehicle and handling metas from the police slot into pbus, but cars still don't pull over or react to the lights, etc.

Have you found a fix for pbus and riot2?

How to correct the handing for this slot? If I use a car? Can't locate the slot in vehicles.meta file

Thats great! but is there a file for the RCV thats alredy moded and ready for me to downsload and use?

if so what is the link to the file?
