Hey all,

 

I'm at a loss here. I'm trying to find the pranger carvariations.meta, when I seach in OpenIV I get a ton for "carvariations.meta" files but I can't seem to find the one with "pranger"

Any insight on this?

 

Also when a vehicle is in two different "vehicles.meta" file do you have to make changes in all of them?

The vanilla carvariations file is encrypted and only usable if you know how to change the file type to edit it.  However, you can add your own carvariation line in another dlcpack.  For example, in mpchristmas2, there is a carvariations file.  You can edit that one and add in new entries for pranger and other police slots.

 

For the vehicles.meta, which vehicle are you trying to edit?  I assume pranger?  When I'm editing the default law enforcement slots, I only edit one meta, the one located at mods / update / update / common / data / levels / gta 5.   Editing that one works and overrides any other location for me.

Where I even find the pranger code to add it?

 

I installed another car model but it doesn't show up in the game, that was my "vehicles.meta" part of this thread. I used the OpenIV installer maybe I should have just manually done it?

pranger carvariations or meta?

 

It should've installed flawless if you used an installer.  What car did you install?

You would take an existing line, copy and paste it, then change the name.  Here is a carvariation line.  Just change the name and it's good.

Try doing a manual install of the car.

Eh no dice. Still no liveries for the pranger or the other car model... Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I used to do this all the time, I'm just getting back into LSPDFR recently. 

Do the vehicles.meta entries have FLAG_HAS_LIVERY set for them?

 

Carvariations doesn't usually control liveries.

What exactly is the issue?  Does it not have any liveries at all, or are you trying to add multiple liveries?  If you're trying to add multiple, what The Loot said is correct.  However, if you have no livery at all on the car, what he said doesn't apply here.

I have two liveries for the pranger. I added the flag to a vehicles.meta file.

 

For the other car model, I installed it manually but still doesn't show up in game.

What slot is the other car installed in that has no livery?  and what does it spawn as, a purple/broken texture?

It's police4

It spawns in as the vanilla car.

Put the modded police4 files in the very newest patchday, which is the highest numbered one.  I think patchday 20? 21?  Can't remember off the top of my head, whatever is the highest number.

Huh. Interesting. I spawned the police4 via the trainer and it spawned in as the modded model. But during the vehicle selection at the police station it's the vanilla car.

That's strange, but as long as it's working once spawned via trainer.
