I've not even got round to playing storymode yet lol, a fully modded playthrough is my prize for doing all this work modding the game. Saving that until last.
If you do make a list of essential storymode vehicles, I'd be very interested in that

@epoqx

up !

Change the number to 114. The number is what changes the key. The // denotes a comment, which means everything after it is completely ignored by the mod; it is only used for human reading.

You can find the list of keys here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes

@a63nt-5m1th Oh thanks for making me notice. Second time this happens !

@epoqx Redux is part of the problem.

@cristian304 said in Lights configuration in visualsettings.dat:

Come posso abbassare la luce della scritta taxi e le scritte dei bus??

Try Vanilla Vehicles Emissives Fix [Add-On][.OIV] 1.2

@a63nt-5m1th

With pleasure, here it is !

EDIT :

@a63nt-5m1th

I've actually added WEAPON_SMOKEGRENADE to the LOADOUT_SWAT, and the flag BF_CanThrowSmokeGrenade in combatbehaviour.meta/CCombatInfo/SWAT.
I've modified a lot the vanilla smoke so that it's a big cloud of smoke, we cannot see through that easily, and it deals just a little bit of tick damage.

Now it gives a much better tactical approach from the SWAT units

I've tried creating a new CCombatInfo in combatbehaviour.meta for one of my added peds, but for some reason the game crash at some specific locations in the game.

@a63nt-5m1th Ok I will give it a try with the carcols.meta.

@a63nt-5m1th For future reference, my sweat spot to one headshot protection with DefaultArmour seems to be between 14100.0 and 14900.0.

I'll try using Locational Damage & Deadly Headshots after it !

EDIT :
Locational Damage & Deadly Headshots didn't seem to have an effect with so much armor. I'll seek more into it.

I've realised there is some headshot damage modifiers in weapons.meta, but the base damage and multipliers do not seem to match with my health/armor values.

EDIT 2 :

---- FIXED HEALTH and ONE HEADSHOT HELMET PROTECTION ----

Because having '14000.0' points of armor seems far from being realistic for me

I've changed the weapons.meta/ HeadShotDamageModifierAI value= of each weapons, from '1000.0' to '10.0', And scaled the pedhealth.meta/ DefaultArmour value= with the same multiplier : from ~'14000.0' to '140.0'.

All of this making them still resist to one headshot bullet, and at the same time killable without headshots. Fits better a more realistic damage.

@InfiniteQuestion I'll try this thanks !

Edit : @InfiniteQuestion this materials.dat is related to all characters in the game ?

By making this i will make everyone resistant to one headshot bullet and not only swat ?

@epoqx

wantedtuning.ymt:
Don't have any definitive answer for the ValueForMin/Max values, but I read them to mean how intensely the game is allowed to utilise the values above them. Hard to tell what the AI is actually doing with them though & I could be completely wrong or they have different effects depending on what value they reference etc.

Example:

<AutomobileSpeedModifier> <Min value="1.000000" /> <Max value="3.850000" /> <ValueForMin value="0.000000" /> <ValueForMax value="0.300000" /> </AutomobileSpeedModifier>

Here, I took the 'ValueForMax' to mean how much engine power/acceleration the AI could apply.
I edited this years ago though, & all I really know is that I got the desired effect I wanted (dispatch vehicles/heli's able to keep up with my super cars without spinning out while accelerating due to the nearly 4x top speed) & that playing around with the min/max values didn't affect the top speed of dispatch in-game one bit.
Knowing Rockstar though, it probably controls how consumed donuts affect speed lol. Anyone's guess really.

Loadouts:
Nah, I don't think there is any way to control loadouts using 'wantedtuning.ymt', it's just timing/speed/perception/weapon accuracy & how dispatch spawns (you can set it so cops only spawn driving behind you & have to catch up etc & control at what distance they are despawned at if they fall too far behind etc)

I'll have a look at loadouts & see what I can suss out related to your shotgun issue

@epoqx
If Menyoo and ENT don't fill your need, try Sprayshop - Car Colour Selection & Custom Crew Colour Editor 1.5
I remember it being quite detailed & allowing a lot of control over the final colour (even if it takes a little time to get it right. Not the best UI (bit slow/funky in some regards, but functional).

Note: Sprayshop v1.5 was released February 18, 2017 & requires NativeUI.
It may not function 100% correctly on newer versions of NativeUI, in which case you may have to drop back to an older version (scroll down for older versions, try NativeUI 1.7 first if you have issues ).
Obviously, dropping back to NativeUI 1.7 may not be ideal if you have mods that explicitly require a newer version.

Post closed. I found the fix : The downloaded vehicles needs the files to be in the vehicles.rpf, some proper replacement lines ("fbi" ones for all my cars) in the vehicles.meta AND the corresponding lines in the carvariations.meta.

It fixed my issue.

Yep, so i was able to add (clone) default (i just changed colors etc. little bit) Azteca gang members for World of Variety.. thats a thing that i dont like very much.. WoV replace default gang members.. and this way they work together just fine

@epoqx
If the tuning parts are extras you can certainly do it.
Normal visual tuning/upgrades, I'm not so sure about file edits (unlikely), but it can be done by a script at least, if you find someone to make it for you.

Using 'vehiclemodelsets.meta' you could get the cop cars you occasionally see driving about when you don't have a wanted level to appear with whatever tuning you wanted, but it doesn't look like it can be done with the ones that come from 'dispatch.meta' just using file edits .
A script or getting someone to edit the car in Zmodeler & change the upgrades to extras is your best bet

Thanks for the answer, i'll probably keep my working vehicles even if sometimes they fall from the sky!

I'll keep a look on GTAV Override [.NET] 1.0.0.14 ! Thanks for the information tho

@epoqx did you ever find a fix to this?

I don't know why, but i just realised that at wanted2 the fbi2 would come with 2 peds in it, while at wanted3, there is 1 driver ped, and 2 grabing the sides of the car, so it makes it x3. Gonna test wanted 4 and 5.

Edit : DIdn't changed nothing. Some cars van-like appear driving and slowly stopping without any peds in it. I don't get it.
