Project Virginia - Lore Friendly Blaine County Mega-Pack Textures by: amen_brother What started as a personal project for my own pleasure quickly snowballed into my largest, most ambitious, and first public release for GTA V - Project Virginia. I will start by saying that I am a complete amateur texture developer and this project was developed with extremely limited resources (basically just GIMP). If you are expecting professional quality liveries, you may be disappointed. However, this process has helped me develop better techniques and skills, and I believe that this pack represents my best texture work yet. This pack was developed with the purpose of filling gaps left open by other popular packs. Many livery packs out there have tons of regular patrol vehicles, which is awesome. However, for someone like me that enjoys having a uniform experience, the lack of SWAT vehicles, helicopters, marine units, and prisoner transport vehicles really started to bother me. So, while this pack may lack a variety of patrol vehicles, it does bring a uniform theme to special vehicles that aren't often considered. First off, why "Project Virginia"? As a proud Virginia native, I wanted to create a lore-friendly pack that stuck to my roots. In this effort, I based every vehicle off of those used by my local Sheriff's Office and those used by the neighboring city. They are not 100% accurate, and I have taken some short-cuts and liberties, particularly with some of the special purpose vehicles. However, every texture is as faithful as it can be, while still providing some visual interest and staying true to the theme of the pack. So, what can you expect with this pack? This pack includes a WHOPPING FIFTEEN (lol) individual textures, including: NINE Blaine County Sheriff's Office Vehicle Textures TWO BONUS Los Santos Police Department Vehicle Textures TWO BONUS Blaine County Fire and Rescue Vehicle Textures TWO BONUS San Andreas State Police Vehicle Textures Recommended Vehicle Models The creation of this pack would not have been possible without the use of some incredible vehicle mods and packs. These are: Other Credits This pack was made with the use of several freely available logos and decals, most of which are available online. However, a few elements were made here on the LSPDFR website, so a very special thanks to: BritishIndieKid for their BCSO, LSPD, and SASP logos from Indie's Assorted Logos: Part Two SkyDaFur Development for their BCFD/BCFR logo from LSFD & BCFD Logo Pack Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I install these textures? A: I have included both written and visual instructions to show how to install them. Beyond that, I would recommend looking up some YouTube tutorials for more general instructions. Q: I want the lights like in your screenshots. How do I get them? A: The lighting textures and configs are, unfortunately, specific to the vehicles I personally use. You can find these in the above spoilers, or in the README under "Recommended Vehicle Models". For these, I have included the light textures and ELS configs in the Bonus Bundles folder. Instructions for installation can also be found in the README. Q: Why did you make LSPD and BCFR textures? A: I wanted to use them for my game, and I figured I might as well just spread the love. Q: Will you be updating this pack? A: Yes. I plan to add three to four more BCSO, LSPD, and BCFR textures in the future. I kinda wanna play my game though for a bit lol Q: Will you make a texture for [INSERT VEHICLE HERE]? A: Maybe. If I find your request interesting or a fairly simple task, it is possible.
