  Change dial needle color?

  Still no luck. Tried everything suggested to the best of my ability.

  All I can do is make the dial needles disappear, glow bright or be super dim so they look black but cant change the color

  Of all the car mods with dial needles the only one with white needles I have seen is the BTTFV Deloreans.

  Using Codewalker and Notepad++ I compared the dials section in the .xml files for number setting differences but the numbers match.

  I'm now wondering if it's actually possible to change the dial needles color to white without some special script?

  Any more help or suggestions appreciated thanks.

  @Aurora11 I don't have enough experience with Codewalker, but the error message I'm very familiar with.

  In your case it's likely trying to change a property that doesn't exist.

  Just as an example, you want to change the eye colour but the eye colour property doesn't exist for that specific ped.

  Or your value is null because you want red, and only brown and blue are acceptable.

  @Couchlander

  Just to add to what @ReNNie wrote.

  What is your definition of Lore-friendly? The only 100% lore friendly cars are the vanilla ones. After that you have your pick of cars and motorcycles ranging from Alfa Romeo to Z1 (Kawasaki). There are thousands of mod cars that are lore friendly. In fact most vanilla cars are based on the original brands you will find in the mods section.

  What does outdated mean? Cars are not scripts. I have more cars installed than I can count and have never encountered an "outdated" one. Unless you mean a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO? I'll take that any day.

  Finally broken. Unless your game is properly setup for modding expect it to crash on start, every start - and particularly with packs like Vanillaworks - if you haven't installed the necessary mods.

  @AHKEXE1 I don't think so. Doing this in settings.xml is kinda an exploit/glitch type way anyway since game doesn't allow turning off shadows entirely.

  Maybe a mod can do it, I don't know any but if inpracticality isn't a problem for you and if you don't mind the weather itself, it is also possible to duplicate a weather for example w_clear.xml , rename it to another weather (prefarably one you don't use, ie: w_snowlight.xml). Then modify the shadow values in there to remove the shadows or making their distance 0. You also need to modify weather.xml as well to make Snow Light weather act like Clear weather.

  Once that is done, you can switch to Snow Light when you don't want shadows and switch back to Clear when you want them back again.

  @MissySnowie it would be nice to have a tool that simply allows us to modify encrypted archives without a full blown editor. We would just use windows explorer and any text editor.

  My dream would be to use command line scripts to edit rpf and files like dlclist.xml which is contained in an rpf.

  We would no longer need OpenIV the editor, however we would continue to load addons with OpenIV.asi.

  Well maybe not. Openformats is a great feature. OIV is definitely not.

  Rpf explorer can replace OpenIV for some edits as well.

  Ofc T2 would probably shut any new tools down if they messed with encryption.

  @taymiester94 Dawg real talk...

  The time and effort it takes to make most mods is not worth the pay. Strictly from a financial standpoint charging for mods could make sense if the authors only play their own mods. Using this same model if they play other authors mods then one author charges then gets charged by another. Net result is eventually and potentially little to no profit, possibly a loss depending on the price of the mod/s purchased. Lol yo imagine if AB charged for SHV updates and he totally would be entitled to but he doesn't. Doing something purely for the passion of doing it is always better than for money because the true focus is the task itself not the money with the task being a paid job. Alternatively these authors could resort to an exclusive author only mod barter type system but bartering carries with it exchange issues. Plus a VIP club setup excluding new comers with potential value to offer is not a wise way to fuel and grow such a community long term.

  Beyond retarded to count on praise from strangers on the net. Deadass. If all it takes is a simple comment good or bad to affect ones internal state then seriously wtf lol. That's being a plastic bag at the mercy of the wind. Time to re-think their life if they are mentally that fragile.

  Imho modding (the majority at least excluding custom commissions etc) should be done as a passion and freely with a donation type mindset fostering a sharing type community vibe. The author/s are doing what they love and unaffected by random mofos but still in a position to take on board constructive criticism and improve.

  Of course Rennie is aware other modding exists but as a moderator his concern is this site.

  Check JohnFromGWN's resume dawg. All the dope help and advice he gives. More than one way to contribute. Dumb ass questions often warrant smart ass answers.

  Anyone know this icon?

  @JohnFromGWN Well it's most useful when used with Favorited animations and Spooner saves.

  So let's say you created a scene with Menyoo's Object Spooner, there are people in the scenes playing animations from the Favorites. and let's say you had a new idea and spawned a few other people and wanted to make them play the same animation some of your peds are playing.

  So if you have saved like 100-150 animations to favorites, it is very difficult to know which one is playing in which ped, so you gotta scroll through until you can see this icon which indicates which animation is playing in the said ped. Then remember the order number in the list and go to one of the newly spawned ped and make him/her play the same animation from the list.

  Since Menyoo is using white font for letters and numbers, when this icon is also white color it is sometimes being super difficult to see it especially if the animation name is too long and it overlaps with the icon. But now that I made it red color, it is being quite easy to spot it. I just turned off my ENB to have higher fps and scrolled through at the 120 fps and still was able to notice the icon despite the animation name overlaps with it Before this, I was scrolling one by one and sometimes I was still missing it haha

  In that case just make a script that will (somewhat dynamically) spawn random vehicles out of sight, either parked or in traffic with a driver, optionally with arrays of vehicles per area.
