needing help my GTA 5 won't mod the cars using open IV

[Guest]

@TR71777 All I want to see is the names of the files, I don't need to see the actual files. Pick any one of the mods, tell me the names of the files that are included in that mod, that it wants you to use to replace the vanilla police cars.

You also shown in your last post that you have not done every step everyone has told you. Two people, one of which was myself, has told you to replace them in patchday14ng (the latest patchday folder) and I even gave you the path to replace them in but you haven't done that.

If you're going to tell people that you have done every step, then you have to have actually done every step. Because if people see that you aren't doing the suggestions they give you, then they won't suggest anything... they will just leave you to it.

@TR71777 And you can see from those files the problem that @Willief23 was telling you about.

Consider this set of files:

sheriff2-16 explorer
sheriff2.yft
sheriff2.ytd
sheriff2_hi.yft

As you can see, there are three files. Now consider this list of files from patchday3ng

sheriff2+hi.ytd
sheriff2.yft
sheriff2.ytd
sheriff2_hi.yft

As you can see, there are four files, one of which is a ytd file, which is where the textures are stored.

So here's what i would suggest, take your sherrif2.ytd file and copy it. Name that copied file sheriff2+hi.ytd. Take the four files you now have and put those in patchday14ng, in the path I specified above.

If that works, you will need to go through every model you are replacing and check how many files the vanilla version has. If it has more files than you have replacement files, then you need to create the missing files in the same way.

The fbi2 only has three files, it doesn't have an fbi2+hi.ytd, so that can just be replaced as is, in patchday14ng.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 well I will give it a try I want them to show up in the game in traffic that's why I didn't put them in patchday14 cause there is no police or sheriff or fbi or towtruck or policet files in there but I did tried it that way and still was the same but ill try it again this time using your method

[Guest]

@TR71777 There doesn't have to be matching files for you to replace. If you put replacement files in the latest folder, the game will use anything in there in place of anything in earlier folders... that's how the game works. That's why it is guaranteed to work.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 ok I did it not once but 3 times your way and it still dose it I even separated both times I did it the normal way then the patchday14 and it still dose it when I spawn them and even calling 911 and it still the same I honestly did everything you told me to do and its still doing it I think Open IV either has a bug or the game do I don't know what else to do it shows my other modified files as it should but not the police cars?

I do have team viewer and skype I can show you what I am doing all 3 times?

@TR71777 said in needing help my GTA 5 won't mod the cars using open IV:

I do have team viewer and skype

I don't... I don't use any form of communication beyond this forum.

I don't know what the problem is then, sorry. As I said, my knowledge on replace vehicles is limited. It should be straight forward...

[Guest]

Well, I don't know what else I can say. I downloaded the first mod on that list, found the sherrif2 files, created the missing file as I said and then replaced them in patchday14ng and this is what I got.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 ok well I just made a video that shows step by step of what I did the normal way and the patchday14 way please watch it so you know what I am doing and your still a awesome person

[TR71777]

@TR71777 how do you post a video on here its saying it way to big its almost 30 mins long

[Guest]

@TR71777 You can't post videos on here.

You need to use something like YouTube or Vimeo to have them as videos. Or use something like Google Drive, OneDrive or DropBox to share them as a file.

Why is it so long? It took me about 5 minutes to install that mod at the most, they should only be short videos.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 the reason is because I showed my way and then your way in the same video that's why lol

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 I am uploading it on youtube so I can show you what I did

[Guest]

@TR71777 Here's one I have just made... this is how simple it is. The video is 1 minute 23 seconds long.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 hey bro here is my video.

[TR71777]

well I hope that everyone sees what I did and I did it correctly

[AHK1221]

@TR71777 You have a very weird desktop wallpaper... Im not judging...

Anyway, do you actually have OpenIV.asi installed? Because like you're saying the mods aren't loading.

[TR71777]

@AHK1221 yes I do bro everything is installed correctly here are the screenshots.

[AHK1221]

@TR71777 Do one thing, instead of copying ALL the patchdays, only copy the patchday14ng and put the mod in that.

[TR71777]

@AHK1221 lol the desktop screen saver is the pic of my fave NFL football teams cheerleaders lol the Dallas Cowboys the pic is of the Dallas Cowboys cheerladers

[TR71777]

@AHK1221 I did that as you will see in later on in the video I did your guys way and it still didn't work.

[TR71777]

@LeeC2202 I just tried it your way again and it still show the vanilla police cars with the messed up paint jobs even when you told me to make a copy of the ytd file and rename it the +hi.ytd and its still acting up

[V4D3R]

@TR71777 Have you installed RDE?

[TR71777]

@V4D3R nope I don't even use that mod cause it messed up my game the last time I only use mods that don't mess up my game

[TR71777]

well I tried another police pack from LSPDFR.com and still the same out come smdh
