@HRH I'm sorry about that sounding vague. I knew what style and year of vehicle, but I was torn between 3 companies. I chose a 1950 Ford Club Coupe. Thank you!

@Namie243 Cool, I'll check it out later.
Since you mention accuracy on your Audi A4 mod page, I'll point out that the Wiki page says that police vehicles always have a license plate that starts with "AM".

@Namie243 All in-game colors are supported(even utils), scroll carcols a little bit down and there you see the list, there are different blue. It was hell of a pain to one-by-one match different blue colors with my Bahrain, California, & Monaco plates (which all use different blue colors).

@Jitnaught but still if you are working on pc and you have forum opened on pc whole day, you may check that new comment when you get new notification and 5 minutes later you got new one and 10 minutes later another one and so on

I think authors mean this good but people are lazy or unskilled so they don't tag or don't know how to tag people. I think the solution may be once you start writing coment under any mods, you'll get hint saying hey if you use @ with authors name, you can tag him to let him know about your comment

@Dekurwinator Thank you!

So the livery I'm making. The back of the truck should say:

สภ.แก่งโสภา
Kaeng Sopha Police Station

สภ.แก่งโสภา
Police Kaeng Sopha

??
Yes, I made a mistake oops....

EDIT: I fixed some errors and uploaded the livery. Thank you.

@Namie243 You can decrypt carvariations.ymt with that programme I linked to but it contains all those hash_collision values in the xml file. A lot of it is readable though, in fact, about 96% of it is, as plain xml.

@FoxtrotDelta My response wasn't to you, don't worry I agree with what you said.

Smiley faces are laughing faces?! Ok oops

@OrcaellaSaurusID Paint.net is like adobe photoshop. I recommend Gimp2 as well its a free program and does a good amount of the things photoshop does. Pretty sure it does more editing then paint.net. You will need to find some plugins called NormalMap, insanebump and bumpmap to make normal maps for any texture that you make. You will also need the dds plugin so you can load dds textures which is what gtav uses.

@Namie243 said in How do uploads get verified?:

"mere moderators" are important too though....

Indeed but I always look at it like this...

Without the owner, there is no site...
Without the users, there is no need for a site...
Without the moderators... there is a site in total chaos, full of console modding questions and Chinese Spam.

But in all seriousness... never underestimate the importance of the user... they keep things going and provide the reason modders create mods.

@ReNNie Thank you!~

@Namie243 technically this method works actually on any replace vehicle. Now you don't need to wait for the authors to make add on dlc in a future update

@Namie243 Excellent.

And thank you for posting the info, this is bound to be helpful for someone else.

@ReNNie I never knew about this site! Thanks~
My wishlist is longer too, but if I wrote everything, I'd be in the 22nd Century.

I know it's not on the gta5mods site, but I've just installed lspdfr. My new favourite mod ever, that isn't a car mod ...though sometimes unexplainable things happen, such as the police running me over, to then not chase the suspect. Mostly fun.

Height (text placement and size in general) can be changed with the FontExtents part of carcols. X and Z control the horizontal stretch/placement, and Y and W control the vertical stretch/placement.

X - How far the left side of the text stretches across the plate.
Y - How far the top of the text stretches down the plate.
Z - How far the right side of the text stretches across the plate.
W - How far the bottom of the text stretches down the plate.

To move the text up, you have to decrease both Y and W values. Likewise, to move it down, you increase both values. Same with moving it left/right - decrease for left, increase for right. I would recommend changing the values by two decimal places so that you'll fine-tune it better.

As for scaling, change the values of either X and Y or Z and W. Increase both X and Y to make the text smaller, decrease to make it bigger. Reverse for Z and W, increase to make bigger and decrease to make smaller. Alternatively, you can modify individual values to stretch the text however you want. Keep in mind, if X/Y is bigger than Z/W (or Z/W smaller than X/Y) the text will turn invisible.

I've already played with these options since I made my add-on license plates mod six months ago (planning to release a full documentation with the next update), so feel free to use the values in it as a reference.

@GTPZ It was in the x64b generic like you said.
