oh ok so like using police radio you can actually call in fire ambulance and such. i wonder if there will be an addition to lspdfr so you can have different stations respond with units either fire ambulance or police. that would add some realism to lspdfr as some units would be out a ways to certain calls.

hey man it works like a charm though i have contacted the author of the vehicle to get the settings for carvariations to get the lights working and siren right. i mean they work just not how he has them in a video. I will be doing this for all vehicles i add. one quick question is there a way in game to get the added vehicles to spawn like in traffic or something? i was just curious on that little issue.

thanks. listen i have a question do you have a tutorial section on modeling lightbars by chance? and what programs to use? also I did create a topic on issues i am having with lightbar colors and coronas. I am not sure what i can do to address that issue.

hey thanks for all the help. look im sorry if i did something wrong . i kind of forgot the way this site is set up. i thought pms were supposed to be used but i guess its better to do the forum way first huh?

i was wondering if there is a mod or visual settings file out that can render the reds and blues like on the stock vanilla vehicles but with a brightness to them. i have noticed if i put in vehicles with a certain visual mod the colors are more washed out like bland or not even looking like reds and blues. if anyone knows which visual mods are good for getting the correct colors looking right again and with some brilliance please let me know thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can find the 2016 chevy express prisoner transport van and the 2015 charger they are by different authors one by policesco and the other by jjdawkins. problem is neither vehicle seems to be available anymore. that is why I am asking if anyone knows where i can download either one or both? I want to use them in lspdfr. i alreayd tried to contact policesco via message no go. he didnt reply back . i was also wondering if anyone wanted to improve upon the prisoner transport van by using either chevy or ford and using the armor package that the vanilla one has for bullets and such on the front of the van or maybe making one which has off road capability or something. just something better for the prisoner transport since it is used in roadblocks sometimes.

OK but how do i create a new line in the carvariations from scratch?

ok i have just one more question on this topic. where can i find the carvariations with the firetruck police and ambulance so i can copy and paste them to edit for the different vehicles i plan on adding? I might try the mpchristmas but i am not sure that that carvariations is the one i want to find these particular info so i can do a rename and such for each additional vehicles as far as carvariations are concerned.

thanks for the help not sure what happened there. quick question on the carvariations? does it matter which one you use from the different dlc pack areas? I mean i get what your supposed to do with the vehicles meta and inside the carvariations one but does it really matter which carvariations meta file you edit or is it just in general cause i edited the mpluxe2 one with the coroner van and it works like a charm spawning wise.

umm that is the ymt file not the meta. I will look at yours but i was looking for the original carvariations.meta file not the ymt one. sorry i should have clarified that better. i have the firetruck line saved. I cant seem to find the ambulance one though from the vehicles meta. I am trying to do what you and some others are saying when trying to addon vehicles using the lines from the meta files and editing them into a new meta file to add or replace so there are extra vehicles available. problem is I am not sure where to retrieve the ambulance line so i can add some ambulances as well. i am trying to add maybe 2-3 firetrucks and 2-3 ambulances so it adds some different vehicles for them and i will do the same with the police and such just i want to get those out of the way first as a way to test if everything will work in game.

I want to actually get into modding myself. what i want to know is where to begin and for starters modding rotating lightbars for vehicles in gta 5 and what programs to use that sort of thing. I want to start off small with lightbars then work my way up. also does anyone know of tutorials to direct me to the right info?

i was wondering where the original carvariations meta is located. i found the vehicles one ok but when installing different car mods ive come across several carvariations meta file locations however i want to add on some vehicles but in order for me to do that i would need to have the original carvariations file on hand to help me with the whole adding of vehicles.

that sucks man i thought that you could fix an issue like that.

i was wondering if there is a way to make nonels vehicles compatible with els settings? reason being i noticed if you have a nonels vehicle in a game with els installed it messes the vehicle lightbar up so it doesnt spawn.

oh ok but will it work with the latest patch? i have 1290

actually i have a question when you replace the gameconfig in open iv and start the game and play it i dont notice any difference with traffic or peds. is there a setting or such that i should know about that spawns more peds and vehicles in game? also someone did mention a realism mod to bring gta 5 to life i was wondering if i need to use that in conjunction with the gameconfig?

OK. thanks for letting me know. what exactly do i have to do if i want to add another firetruck and ambulance to the game? i know you can rename the vehicle files but in the metas i think you need to copy a couple of lines from the original meta files correct?

ok i will try this. though i wish there was an easier way to do it with gta 5. is there any way to add vehicles which dont have their own carvariations vehicles or any other data files? I have heard of a mod which provides something but I am not sure if that is what i would need to use. MODDING DLC PACK V. I was wondering if this would work for me?

yeah i guess that was part of what i was asking. actually i was wondering if there was a way to create those files for vehicles which dont have them or a mod which has blank files so you can add on cars and such using the proper data files from the mod. I have heard there is a mod out there by albo or someone that uses the extra car slots for addons and has carvariations and other data files to use with said mod. I am not sure how successful that or the gameconfig xml files would be for addons.

I was wondering is there a specific mod that you can use to addon vehicles which have no custom carvariations, vehicles, carcols or handling files for gta 5 using extra police car slots or something like that?

I was wondering if there is a way to add multiple cars and trucks and such to gta 5 and having those extra vehicles available to use in game at any time? i know there used to be a way in gta sa to add multiple extra vehicles and such through a free ids setting. i was wondering if such a method could be employed with gta 5. and or if someone could develop such a method to address having extras available.

hello everyone i have fixed the firetruck its working now. i had to adjust the ymt file.

Ok the lightbar acts wonky when being used and the strobes on the truck are distorted or something. its like the textures are not right or something not sure if that is the actual problem though as i have seen the truck being used by others in gta 5 with no problems. suffice it to say the lightbar when turned on has something appear outside of the normal bar . its like there is another lightbar or something rather than the one used on the firetruck and i did mention the lights/strobes distort when in use on the firetruck. I am not sure the cause but I am seeing this.

I am having no luck contacting pimdslr on his firetruck for support. I need help with it as I am not exactly sure what the issue really is. i have tried to install it correctly but no such luck. I was wondering if anyone would know what settings in carvariations and carcols and such I have to adjust to get the lighting to work correctly. I have tested different siren settings and light settings but no good. I just cant seem to get it to work correctly. I know someone mentioned an lod thing is there a file or setting i have to adjust for that? I am completely in the dark as to what the cause of the issue with the lights is as I dont have els currently installed nor any other custom files except for the carvariations file he provided.
