Having a problem with the Multiplayer Map. I'm running a few MLO mods that add interiors to police stations and a few other places. Problem I have, is with the MP Map enabled, the exterior textures revert to a very basic version. For example, in the screenshot below, you can see the MLO is loaded correctly (you can see into the police station), the textures are good and there's object/clutter on Del Perro Peir. Then in this screenshot, taken just a few seconds later, you can see the clutter has gone, and the textures have potatoed. Now, if I walk into the door, then I get the normal MLO interior - it ONLY affects the exterior textures - but it does this for all MLOs I have. As you may figure by having police stations, I do use these for LSPDFR - so disabling the MP isn't ideal as that shuts out the MissionRow interior, and makes some other MLOs a bit janky. Is there any way (file setting, texture to delete/override) that can tell the MLO textures to overrite the MP map ones? Feels like if I could enable only the MP locations I want (say, Mission Row Police Station) and leave the rest as SP map, it would be fine, but not sure if I can do that. Cheers in advance!

Hi all, When editing the Stations.xml, I know the DropOffPosition is where to bring a prisoner to drop them off in a vehicle, but is there a way of setting up a drop-off point to walk them in on foot (like there is for the Mission Row Police Station) or is that hardcoded? Cheers!

Turns out the problem was simple and noob-ish. Zmoddler wont import a node with the same name as one already in scene - not that it tells you that. Anyway, problem resolved!

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to the modding scene, but I've ran into a problem that's left me stumped. I have an unlocked lightbar (that I've edited to my needs) and I have an unlocked car, which I have not changed at all. The problem is, when I "Merge" them in Zmoddler, no matter what way round I do it, something is always missing. Basically, if I merge the lightbar to the car the glass of the lightbar won't merge with it. It will be there when I select the nodes to merge, it just won't show up once the merge has been done. If I try it the other way round (Merge the car to the lightbar) then everything on the lightbar works fine, but the car is missing a wheel, the headlights and indicators don't work. If I don't import anything, the car works perfectly, so it's something in the process of merging that is going wrong. I can either have a glassless lightbar or a wheelless, lightless car. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Hibblejaybob

Thank you so much for this, it worked! I always though it was the other way around: that the vehicles.meta of any patchday or addon file overwrites the meta files of update.rpc, but I'm obviously mistaken! Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone, I'm having an interesting problem in GTA with a modded car. I currently have it in an addon slot and everything works perfectly. I've now copied over so it replaces the POLICET slot. The model in POLICET has the problem that the lightbar and rear lights (but not windows and windscreen) are black (AKA the window tint bug). The model in the addon slot does not, and has never had this problem. I'm using identical vehicle.meta, carvariations, and ELS files for both. So if it works for one, it should work for the other? In the vehicles.meta, the diffusetint setting is already set to 0x00FFFFFF (which is the common fix to this problem), yet the problem is still occurring, and yet, if I go into the Simple Native Trainer and change the tint, I can get it back to normal. It's set to "none" by default, but if I change the setting then change it back, everything works perfectly. So my question is this. The window tint is obviously the problem, but the diffusetint setting is already set to 0x00FFFFFF, so how can I fix this problem? Hope someone can help!

I think he means that would be the reason that mods are broken. Update 1.0.8.0 breaks most mods, and you generally have to downgrade back to 1.0.7.0 to get things working again.

It's early days yet, but does anyone know if Alexander has any plans to update his Scripthook?

Might need to, I have a LCMP video to record tomorrow night lol

Removing ScriptHook alone worked for me. I pray to the giddy goose that ScriptHook gets patched! My GTA IV videos are my flagship series on YouTube!

Update: I've tried adding in a mod pack that acts as a new DLC, but replaces default cars (This one: https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/realcars03-dlc-from-gtav-mods-as-new-addon) and now I've noticed something interesting. If I try to spawn the vehicle using the Rage Hook console, the cars no long appear in the list of what it can suggest: only vanilla ones. If I go another spawner with fixed spawn menus, the cars are there, but when you try to spawn them, nothing happens: no errors, just nothing spawns. It seems like the game is loading the DLC, but it can't understand anything from it. Still looking for assistance, if someone knows!

Hi Everyone! In order to have all my modded files in one place, I wanted to group them together in one custom DLC. I don't know if all the guides I've read have been invalidated by recent updates, but I've followed 3 guides (including just using the files supplied), but I can't get the cars to appear in game. Looking through the list of the loaded files in-game, it appears the DLC simply isn't getting loaded, despite being included in the dlclist.xml and extratitleupdate.meta. I don't understand why it's not working. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the DLC loading in game? Cheers, Hibblejaybob
