Publicly Owned License Plates (Request)

ZombLee · September 2, 2012

Hello gentlemen and gentlewomen.

So even though I've been keeping to Liberty City Police's NYPD style in my game, who use white plates with unit numbers, I'm trying to find a license plate texture mod that would change my in-game police vehicles to have plates similar to Klamath Falls Police Department's bright yellow "publicly owned" license plates, as a callback to my home town in Oregon state. Problem is, I only want to change my police vehicles plates and not every vehicle in the game, and I don't exactly want it to have Oregon over the top, because, like I said I'm trying to keep in the Liberty City setting.

Ridge Runner made excellent Oregon State Police textures which feature Alderney alternate plates, but I have no clue as to how to isolate the plates from his texture and use them on my cruisers. I also never use the State Troopers just regular LCPD officers, so I don't think State plates would fit with public city police.

So, long story short, I'm requesting to any modders who know what they're doing to make some plate textures for my police cruisers that look like the below picture, just without "Oregon" over the top. Maybe instead "Liberty City"

Here's the example:

Thanks in advance guys. I don't even know if it's possible to change just certain vehicles plates or not.

Send me a link to ridgerunners textures and I'll take it out of them for you. You'll need to give him credit though should you release.

You sir, are excellent! I'm using the improved default buffalo and vapid cruisers, so I don't know if it's possible to add them without changing every car in game. Anyways, I also will keep this personal use. Thanks again, PM sent.

If you want them for only the police cruisers, you'd have to manually apply the mapping to the police cars in zModeler

Download the attachment and then add them to the skins that you need them on.......

Thank you very much, Tom!

Umm, honestly, I don't know if I should remove the topic now, considering I never asked Ridge Runner to take stuff from his skins. I'm not a modder, so please forgive this very informal credit line, but the above work is content from Ridge Runners Oregon State Police Skin Templates and should not be added to anyone else's mods and then released without his permission.

I will also be sending him a PM to notify him just in case he doesn't want that attachment up. But thank you again Tom, considering I won't be releasing this for anything I make. I'm using it for personal stuff so maybe it doesn't violate his work. I don't know the modder's rules, considering I don't make any mods so I'm just trying to give credit where it's due.

I really appreciate the time and effort you took for me Tom.

Also, thank you Harper for the heads up on that. I'll see if I can find some tutorials on that.
