Vehicle spawn color

mmods

Hi! I write this because yesterday I mapped a vehicle but when I spawn the default color is black and the template looks very dark, but when I change the color to white with the trainer v it looks well. The texture is from NYPD show the main color is white. Do you know how to solve this? Thank you.

Pd: I'm replacing the vehicle with the fbi2 model

Vehicle spawn colours are controlled in 'carvariations.ymt/.meta' files.
The 'carvariations.ymt' for 'fbi2' is stored here:

...\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\carvariations.ymt

Open 'carvariations.ymt' & search for "fbi2" & you will find it's settings. They look like this:

    <Item>
      <modelName>FBI2</modelName>
      <colors>
        <Item>
          <indices>
            <Item value="0" />   
            <Item value="0" />  
            <Item value="3" />    
            <Item value="156" />  
          </indices>
          <liveries>
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
          </liveries>
        </Item>
      </colors>
      <kits>
        <Item>0_default_modkit</Item>
      </kits>
      <windowsWithExposedEdges />
      <plateProbabilities>
        <Probabilities>
          <Item>
            <Name>police guv plate</Name>
            <Value value="100" />
          </Item>
        </Probabilities>
      </plateProbabilities>
      <lightSettings value="23" />
      <sirenSettings value="1" />
    </Item>

The spawn colours are controlled in this section:

    <Item>
      <modelName>FBI2</modelName>
      <colors>
        <Item>
          <indices>
            <Item value="0" />    - **First value is Paint 01 Colour Index**
            <Item value="0" />    - **Second value is Paint 02 Colour Index**
            <Item value="3" />    - **Third value is Pearlescent Colour Index**
            <Item value="156" />  - **Fourth value is Alloy Wheel Colour Index**
          </indices>

There are ~160 different 'Colour Index' values (0>160) that each correlate to a different colour.

Example:

Metallic Ice White = '111'
Matt Ice White = '131'

You can find the 'Colour Index' values in this LSC Vehicle Colours Index Chart.

Example (Paint 01 & 02 = Metallic Ice White):

    <Item>
      <modelName>FBI2</modelName>
      <colors>
        <Item>
          <indices>
            <Item value="111" /> 
            <Item value="111" />   
            <Item value="3" /> 
            <Item value="156" /> 
          </indices>

Hope that helps

@mmods make sure that the texture on the Detail section of the UV map is included in the YTD file (carname_sign_1.dds)

Sound Let us know how you get on.

Tip:
In OpenIV 'Ctrl+F3' can be used to search for files by name/extension. Very useful.
