I've been watching for about 5 days now and no update. i am still patiently waiting as i have a few other games i can play at the moment but this new R* update actually is some trash. Free SA is a plus..but a launcher that essentially broke offline mode altogether (even though they stated themselves it was not a "bug". Also breaking scripthookV as every update does by R* , but this one really has a grip.

It will be bypassed no doubt but they need to just stop this nonsense with a launcher and constant crappy updates and half-assed re-skinned DLC cars and events for online. Even the casino update was still MEH. They need to go focus else where and leave GTA5 alone. Let the modding community take that shit over.

I haven't even played Read Dead 2, loved the first one, so they should probably focus a bit on that as well as GTA6...

Update Ready Alert

Been having problems trying to add more than one livery to a vehicle.
done some research and turns out i have to mod the ytd file of the car, import/export the livery i want, rename the sigh_name_number file and save it.

Although for planes or other vehicles their is also a +hi file.

If i am looking to add more than one livery to a vehicle, do i have to have the +hi file as well in order for the liverys to show since some require that file as well to be moded?

Example: i am adding a livery to the buffalo2 but only the YTD file is there, no +hi to edit although some other cars have it but not the buffalos.

Also i heard of the YTD file for liverys being locked in openIV to only being able to use just 1 livery. unsure about this if anyone could shed some light?
Also was stated you may have to enable liverys on a vehicle but altering the vehicles.meta file although unsure how exactly, i see you have to add FLAG_HAS_LIVERY under the FLAg portion of buffalo2 but still unsure of how i actually add it.
UPDATE: figured out how to alter it and replace but now the game crashes when it's altered... can anyone show me where exactly to put the FLAG_HAS_LIVERY?

Could anyone please help in this situation?
EDIT: Figured it out. went into vehicle.meta and added FLAG_HAS_LIVERY in the CORRECT spot with in "flags".

Greetings,

Having a problem with a few cars with not showing the sirens fully. They almost look like they are covered in carbon fibre or there is metal on the roof with no lights .It shows the lights kinda of on the side view of the sirens but they are not blue/red like usual on the top of the siren block.any way to fix this issue?

upon spawning regular emergency vehicles that have not bee altered by mods like police cars, they seem to have their sirens but not my downloaded/replaced police cars...... Any suggestions on how to fix this issue or reset and alter the file they use to replace/mod the sirens?

Thanks in advance!

@krissboo That's what I'm thinking, thanks again guys! Perhaps is there away to move the ski aroudn with in openIV?

Can one do that maybe? been trying but dont think you can.

@krissboo Thanks man but i figured it out, although some skins that are placed don't match up, is this normal?
I've chosen the correct model of file and car. In other words, i have a skin for an impala police car and applied that to the impala that i currently have in my game and it looks a bit off.

Again, is this normal behaviour of the skin itself based on how the actual model of car is made by the moder?

Thanks again guys!

@Willief23 oh really? i watched a video ad all buddy did was grab the images he wanted and replaced it with in the ytd file of the car...what trainer would i need or how would i do this, i didn't see him use a trainer. Where can i change the liveries and where are they in this "trainer"? Im not completely oblivious to modding, i can get the majority of the mods to work, i just never learned how to add custom livers/skins from other people and added onto my added/replaced cars, specifically speaking the emergency ones.

Is there any type of guide or video that can help me?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am having some problems adding skins to some vehicles of mine. I have a few custom cars i have downloaded and went onto LCPDFR and found a really nice police skin for my region and wanted to add it some of my current police vehicles.

Upon from trying to change it in OpenIV, When i import the file on the car with the corresponding images that i want, i go to Import them and they show up in the ytd. file..but upon from going into the game, i see there is no skin change at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

@LeeC2202 yeah that's weird...then again you write the mods and i know nothing about that stuff...i wish you luck on it

UPDATE turns out it's not actually the skin of the car that caused the problem..it was a certain vehicle.meta file that was the issue.

@LeeC2202 Man...saw your post as soon as i got in from college and thought, hell... rename the mods folder and it might work? well i took your suggestion and.... i thought well i don't think that would cause the game to act up its just naming a folder..... o.O

IT WORKED...no more crashes in the customs shop now...or in sandy shores... I can't actually believe that method worked!!!

you just saved me hours of work

I did rename my mods folder to "mods folder" and my mods didn't work and changed it back to "mods" and my add on's worked so i am assuming you HAVE to have your folder named "mods" in order for them to work and for OpenIV to register the mods...

As for your Franklin issue i am honestly not sure... perhaps trying to rename the mods folder like you originally suggested if you have not?
Try re downloading the script?
perhaps take ALL scrips out of your GTA directory and try ONE script at a time or take like 3-5 or w.e how many you have until it doesn't crash anymore?
So after 4days of testings and works... sandyshore freeze was im pritty sure caused by a skin on a vehicle since i took them all off and it seem to not freeze..as for the customs mod shop freeze, all i had to do it RENAME THE FILE......LOL
Again....GTA5 modding is just.......speechless....i hate computers....lol

@LeeC2202 Yeah it's weird.....my game will freeze in one mod customs shop but not the other... tried taking my scripts folder out as well....same result..solved the sandy shores freeze..but now this new problem arises.

I was also thinking how Add-On cars/planes could also cause the game to act up....

I'm thinking tomorrow im going to do a CLEAN sweep on all my vehicles and planes and start from scratch again and re add them....

Like i mean i am still having NEW issues even though i only have add-on cars/planes so maybe re adding the dlc files into Update folder might fix that problem...just seems so much work to get mods to work then rockstar updates and there are new peoblems...

god i hate GTA 5 modding......but soo addicting at the same time...

I'll keep you posted on the issue, it that fixes my problem i'll let you know and maybe that method will work for you and maybe fix your "franklin loading screen problem"

I have even re-verified my game files....

@LeeC2202 Well i played around with my files and couldn't find it...so i deleted my mods folder and created another one... the crashing stopped in sandy shores now so assuming it was a skin on a car causing the crash...but for some reason my game is crashing in the mod shop now and not sandy shores... seems like every few weeks mods are fucking up due to rockstar updates and i can never really find the MAIN cause of it....

@Orangade Nope, not at all, i know its the Mod folder, i just don't know what is causing it I took out my whole scrips folder and it still did it so i know its not any of the scrips and i have the https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars and it works for this update currently so i know its not my gameconfig, alkso if it was it would be freezing on the loadup screen.

I was hoping someone would know if it was a certain car or skin that was causing the problem and perhaps i could find out if someone had the same car/skin as me so i could narrow it down.

Guess ill have to go in and search all my skins individually...

This is going to take awhile....

Decided to come back to some Moded GTA 5 and it seems that when im in Sandy Shores/Airfield, my game will crash with in a few seconds to a minute or so...Ive taken out my scrips folder, updated my Scripthook, Scripthook V.net, Native UI, still getting crashes..., perhaps there is a newer/better gameconfig i can use (maybe the one i have it outdated?)

https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars

Says it's updated..I have that current version and still getting crashes only in Sandy Shores...Any insight?

Thanks in advance

@Leto2405

All planes should work with the carpet bomb mod regardless if it was made for war or not

747s and alike can even drop bombs, as long as you toggle the bomb view, it should work regardless of plane used.

hope that helps

@Oskar

Weird, validated my files, still crashes for some reason....

@TobsiCred

The Blazer3 is moded, just of a monster skin though, never caused crashes before...what makes you think its this vehicle specifically is causing the crash and not my other vehicles?

UPDATE: Blazer3 was set back to default and the game still crashes..
Thanks in advance,

@LeeC2202 @FoxtrotDelta BUHAHAHA!
Ill take your guys word for it

@negnoodles what error code are you getting if any? is your game crashing on start up? loading screen or ingame?

Will do, i will find a mod that says to adjust the extratitleupdate file and wont follow that step and see what happens.

@LeeC2202 uhmm ok well lets hope thats the case, from now one ill scrap the extratitleupdate step in any readme file, thanks! less steps are always better.

@LeeC2202 haha yeah really, but im not sure why in some Readme files people give you a

<Item type="SExtraTitleUpdateMount">
<deviceName>dlcSPUpgrade:/</deviceName>
<path>update:/dlc_patch/spUpgrade/</path>
</Item>

file name for specific mods.. i think some car addon's wont work if you dont update that file..then again i have about 40something car add ons and they all seem to work fine despite the fact i have never NOT put in the required information,
only thing i don't do is update my config.xtml file because in most cases thats not needed as long as you have this config

https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars

I'll have to try it the next time when somone's readme file says to add somthing in the extratitleupdate file and i decide not to do it.

@negnoodles Don't think so, i also have the SP apartment mod and my game seems to be running fine, remember to replace not only your update .rpf file but also your dlclist and extratitle update. if the game still is crashing, maybe get a new config file from the mod website.

This is what i use https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars
