Fair enough, Sgt Kanyo. Thanks for replying, not to mention all the time you've put into your other handlings!

I just came across this one. I haven't tested it yet, but the one review on the page says the handling is messed up. Gonna go try it, but would love one of your handling lines if you have the time, Sgt Kanyo. Please and thank you =) http://gtafiles.gtainside.com/downloads/ftph/1397319750_Jeep Carver 6x6.rar Very cool looking Jeep heh

Thanks, Crawford. That works a lot better than what I was trying to use. Fixes the stance and ride height issues I had, and handles better. No more flipping over on turns. =) It is a little finicky trying to get Niko to get in, but at least he DOES get in hehe

If you get a chance, could you possibly come up with a handling line for Yakadafi's F-550 NYPD ESU pls and ty?

Thanks Uniqe, I appreciate your help. My main issue, unfortunately, is I'm wanting to make new paintjobs for the truck, but it is near impossible to do without the template that the author failed to include with the model. I even DL'ed zmodeler in the hopes that I may find some way to make my own template there, but I can't get it to work

Hi all, I have an issue that I hope somebody can help with. I've DL'ed a towtruck that I'd like to reskin, but it did not come with a template. I've not been able to track down the author/releaser, though the truck was at one time here on this site. If anyone has found or made a template for the this truck, I would greatly appreciate a link to it please. Truck is a Ford f-550 Towtruck, and is multiple livery enabled Link for the truck itself is as follows: http://gta.com.ua/file_gta4_details.phtml?id=3627 I'm rather new to skinning, and haven't a clue how to make the template myself. Failing an existing template, instructions on how I could make one myself, would be appreciated just as much. Thanks in advance to any assistance!!

Thank you for trying nonetheless. Funny thing is, I could care less about the multiple liveries on the enforcer. The bearcat seemed like my best option for replacing the securicar, which is about the only vehicle I haven't found an adequate replacement for. Figured I could make use of its multiple liveries to try my hand at skinning some real world security companies lol. And unless I attempt to learn how to model, I guessed I could live with police lights on my bank trucks heh. As you said, I can make myself live with just the one skin, at least until the model gets fixed. Thanks again

Yes, as positive as I can be. The Bearcat version I DL'ed is KevinDV's Noose Bearcat, from GTA4-Mods.com. It has black paintjob with white Noose Riot and Special Operations liveries, numbered 1 thru 4. I replaced the 4th with my own skin, named bearcat_sign_4.png, as the original in the file, just to test it. As I mentioned above, I did some further testing last night, and discovered that the one I have installed on my enforcer also will not spawn skins 2 thru 4. I'm hoping that the version that I DL'ed is simply an older version, and that a newer version, if I can find one, may work. Edit : I tracked down the original release post for this model, and reading the posts, it appears I'm not the only one to have this issue with the liveries. The date stamp on the files in the archive correspond with the release/edit dates on the page, but I guess because I'm just a new member, the site won't let me download the file from there to compare them.

Ok, that makes sense with the model viewer. My issue with the livery is in game, though. Changed the carcols entry for the stockade, and found that the truck does spawn with the original noose livery, but only the first skin. After further testing, I've discovered that the Bearcat won't seem to spawn any extra liveries, only the first livery slot, even installed on the Enforcer. It would appear that perhaps the fault is with the Bearcat mod itself, and not (necessarily) because I screwed something up. I guess now I go on the hunt for an updated version, or simply try to find a better looking armored car than the base game version. Thank you for the reply

I have replaced the securicar with KevinDV's Lenco Bearcat, and created a Brinks skin for it. Unfortunately, it is not spawning with any of the liveries. The wtd file still has the original Noose liveries on slots 1 to 3, and I replaced the 4th with my Brinks skin, saved it and rebuilt img. Every attempt at spawning the truck, though, has yielded simply a white (only color entered in carcols.dat) vehicle with the faint noose markings seen on the wft in Open IV's model viewer. None of the actual liveries themselves show up. Very new to modding, and I am certainly no creator. I've been using GTA IV Vehicle Mod Installer for all of my installs, and as mentioned above, Open IV to swap in/out some skins on some mods. The Brinks skin is my first attempt at skinning, and I figured that before I waste any more effort on the skin, I ought to see if there's something obvious (or not) that I am missing, or if multiple liveries is even possible on the stockade. My settings on the truck are as follows : handling.dat ============ STOCKADE 6500.0 4.0 95 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.0 5 0.12 1.0 150.0 0.15 0.68 0.2 35.0 1.00 0.75 14.4 0.15 0.48 1.0 0.8 0.7 0.20 -0.25 0.0 0.5 1.0 0.3 0.5 1.5 0.15 80000 8 8300000 2 vehicles.ide ============ stockade, stockade, car, STOCKADE, STOCK, VEH@TRUCK, VEH@TRUCK_LO1_LO1, 10, 999, 0.3286, 0.3286, 0.3, 2, 1.5 ,1, noboot+big+isvan+avoidturns+truckfirefx+truckenginefx+livery As near as I can recall, the vehicles line is stock for the stockade, with the exception of the +livery Any help or advice would be appreciated
