Can someone link me a tutorial or explain how to add multiple vehicles for different agencies. I know how to add vehicles via OpenIV but would like to know the best way to add several for Local, sheriff, fbi, highway, state, swat ect. Including implementing the vehicle.meta files. I get the concept behind the new Epic Customization in 0.4 but dont know how to fully take advantage of it. Also editing the files to designate which agencies get what vehicles and where, what gear and uniforms they wear, etc.

To designate which agencies use what vehicles edit the agency.xml file in GrandTheftAutoV/lspdfr/data. I've attached an image of my agency.xml which allocates the vehicles Police, Police2, and Police3 to my nypd agency. You can also specify what ped models to use for the officers in the same file.

Okay so now what about the vehicles.meta question? If Im adding vehicles and different ones come with their own vehicles.meta file do I just overwrite them each time or add them together in notepad or something? If adding together how do I know where to add it in the txt file?

I find it easier to right click vehicles.meta in openIV and choose edit. You always copy from the vehicles download meta from the first <Item> to the last </Item>. You always paste into openiv's vehicle.meta right above the very first <Item>. See the highlighted part in my screenshot.

 

You never overwrite the vehicles.meta, always paste it in.

Does this work for vehicles I rename to sheriff3 or sheriff4? So I can have LSSD use sheriff and sheriff2, Grapeseed use sheriff3, and BCSO use sheriff4?

sheriff3 and sheriff4 would have to be added as addon vehicles, and at that point you could name them whatever you want.

 

And any vehicle you add, so be it named sheriff, sheriff3, or grapeseedsheriff. The name you add it as would go in the agency you want it in, like he explained in the SS you quoted. Here is a SS of my agency

 

So now if I want to choose what uniform pieces the AI get, like the kind of uniform, vests, etc where would I change that at? Im going for the whole map wide, 1 agency thing. The whole state will be only San Andreas State Police. So I want them all to have the same uniform (except special ones like unmarked vehicles with detectives, etc). Also where can I change the spawn of certain vehicles. I know about the "chance=#" line but I have noticed that when Im not on duty the local police like to spawn police3 way to much.

Watch Albo's playlist. This is the safest and working way I have found that isnt that hard if you take your time. Watch videos 10-12
