Hello, There folks, 

Spoiler

I don't know if I'm posting this question in the right place. If I am not I know someone will correct me and hopefully guide me in the right direction.

 

 

My question is~ I would like to find somebody that can help me make my very own customized police car pack. How do I do that?

 

 

Meaning I don't know how any of this works but I take if you wanted a crown victoria whatever model year. Somebody has to make that model for you. I really don't know anything about this kind of stuff. So this is why I'm asking this question.

 

 

How do I find someone, that would help me make a few car models for my game?

 

 

I hope I'm asking the right thing… it just seems that I can never really find a car model that I like… it seems as there are a lot more red and blue police car packs then there are just blue.

 

 

I'm looking for an all blue also I would like vehicles to be put in the right places.

 

 

Anyway,  Thank you for reading 🙂

 

 

It depends on what edits you want to make for the model. If you want just texture edits, those are simple, as OpenIV can open up .yft's (texture files for models) and export/import them (and you can preview their respective ytd's -model files- to see what it looks like) and you can open the .dds file in whatever image editing program you like.

 

If you want to do full-out model replacements, you need a 3D modeling program that has support for GTA V formats, such as 3DS Max 2016 with GIMS installed. Keep in mind, I haven't done a vehicle mod for GTA V, I've done only ped mods so I don't know how similar the two processes are.

I see.. So How would you change the color of the lights? Thanks again for commenting!  Much help 😁

One helpful thing to learn about is to search your question on google, you might find the answer 🙂

 

If you're referring to the lightbar lights...

 

 

 

For the texture color of the lightbar itself (not the lights it emits), you can find them with OpenIV. Just search the model of your car on there, open the .ytd file up, and look at the textures on the bottom right part that lists what textures your vehicle uses (and it will direct you to them). If you want to edit textures, I strongly suggest making a mods folder for that, if you hadn't already (OpenIV will prompt you to do that if you try editing).

 

Though, I think the actual lights are controlled somewhere else, I'm not sure about changing those.

 

As for headlight color, iirc an update supports changing headlight color so you can change them with a trainer.
