Cool mate, thanks. Once I move onto peds and vehicles, will definitely consider that. Cheers. Cheers. Keep an eye here and I will post when I need help. :)

Made a thread. I'll be posting pictures and updates on there from now on.

Grand Theft Auto: Australia A complete graphical overhaul of the environment, vehicles, and players of the Grand Theft Auto V universe to match the Australian landscape, signage, laws, and civilisation. The final modifications package will be available as a .oiv and manual installation formats. Additionally, users will be able to choose from optional addons based on each state and territory of Australia, including assets for services based on the fictitious state of San Andreas. Checklist of work to be done before release: All road signs and barriers retextured to Australian styles Retexture freeway informational panels Retexture assets such as postboxes Complete overhaul of billboards for Australian and international brands advertisements Retexture pre-exisiting signs (eg. stop signs) to be cleaned and have more accurate enhanced colours Develop textures for the buses and trams for every state and territory, as well as fictitious services (ie. Los Santos Metro Bus Services) based on Australian styles Retexture governmental facilities and properties with accurate logos and styles Retexture NPC models to represent real Australian logos Retexture vehicles such as the armoured currency vehicle Work with a team to develop player and vehicle textures for emergency services for every Australian state and territory, in addition to the creation of fictitious emergency services of San Andreas based on Australian services (ie. San Andreas Police, San Andreas Metro Fire Service, etc) Revamped dispatch audio to suit Australian voices and codes Key: Not started Working on it Completed Pages 140-143 of the LSPDFR Australia Discussion Thread show some pictures of what work has already been completed. Stay tuned for updates on this thread from now on. UPDATE: New lead developer - @Sgtnicko As a result of this update, some promised features may not be included. From here on out (25 March 17), @Sgtnicko will post here with updates, comments, pictures, requests, and so forth.

Indeed I will. I have lots of plans, and quite a few variations of things I'd like to do, and I'll definitely need some help at some point. Some of my plans include: Complete overhaul of billboards for Australian and international brands advertisements All road signs and barriers retextured to Australian styles Retexture pre-exisiting signs (eg. stop signs) to be cleaned and have more accurate enhanced colours Develop textures for the buses and trams for every state and territory, as well as fictitious services (ie. Los Santos Metro Bus Services) based on Australian styles Retexture governmental facilities and properties with accurate logos and styles Retexture NPC models to represent real Australia logos Retexture vehicles such as the armoured currency vehicle Work with a team to develop player and vehicle textures for emergency services for every Australian state and territory, in addition to the creation of fictitious emergency services of San Andreas based on Australian services (ie. San Andreas Police, San Andreas Metro Fire Service, etc) I am aware some people believe fictitious services for San Andreas based on Australian states won't fit with the environment, however I disagree and it's something I would like to try out, which is also why I plan to have multiple options of all the states as well as the fictitious services, so people can choose for themselves.

They'll be done. At the moment I am mainly focusing on Los Santos, and then I'll start expanding to the highways leading north to the outback (as it will come to be known).

I agree. As much as I fonder the novelty of having rhd and driving on the left in GTA, personally I think while it would be cool to test out, I would never have it in as a permanent change because of all the bugs.

I've found the billboard models, but the textures are not embedded into the file, nor can I find textures in a seperate file within the same directory. They must be somewhere else, or I've just overlooked them. Someone has made NZ variants of billboards (https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/new-zealand-billboards-buildings-textures), you can ask the mod author. I would suggest downloading it, but it's a fairly large file and have to use alternative links, more of a hassle than it's worth. If you find out, if you could send me a message and let me know, that would be appreciated. If I end up finding it, I will try to remember to message you.

When I release it, it will be available both as a .oiv and as a manual format for people to modify and install as they wish. Right now, I am focusing on the fundamental nation-wide elements of the map by myself. Then, I might consider forming a small team to do state-specific elements. We'll see though. Anyone is welcome to send through stuff they think would be cool to be put in, however I cannot guarantee something sent will be put in.

Some more pics. I've done all the speed limit signs converted to km/h and rounded to the next multiple of ten (will create multiple variations to choose from). I've done a fair bit, but these are the only ones that I could find during a quick 5 minute session.

Yeah mate, that's the goal.

And it begins.

I'll have a look around and if I find them I'll let you know where they are. Yeah, I can do that. I have seen them before, they are definitely on the to-do list. Can't remember exactly where, but I know I have seen them, and they will be converted to km/h! I have never loved a Wikipedia article so much: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Australia Making things 10x easier.

Aw yeah - finally got around to learning the whole texture toolkit thing... GTA, get ready to be Australianised.

There is a button in the text editor already for quotes, assuming I understand you correctly. The editor tools are separated by vertical columns, and immediately following the fifth line, there is a button that resembles quotation marks. Click that. Alternatively, you can highlight text within a previous post and a button will show up saying "Quote this," although I do not have any problems at all with just simply clicking the "Quote" link at the bottom of posts. I'm not entirely sure if that is what you are referring to.

Hmm. Not too sure. Maybe @majorpaine2015 can offer some guidance.

You'll need to be more specific. You cannot be helped if we do not have more information. Let us know things like: The cars you have in that aren't working The most recent modifications you've made to your game Any changes you've made to .ini files How long have you had the issue Any lighting scripts/patterns you have installed etc. The more information you give, the more likely someone will be able to help you. Better to give us too much, than not enough.

Nice flags. Adds so much more to the picture. I'm thinking about putting some Australian flags into my game too. I'm also thinking of texturing the "POLICE - DO NOT CROSS" barrier to be yellow with the black "ROAD CLOSED" text, however I have found the model, but am yet to try and extract the texture files as they seem to be located somewhere else (really annoying).
