zmh3 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 There have been others who have been doing similar things, but i want to do something a little different. I want to take some civilian cars, (Tahoe, Audi, F350) and mod them into emergency vehicles. I was going to reskin them but the DDS converter wouldn't work. So here's my questions:How do i make a vehicle like the black chevy tahoe into 4 separate entities, the secret service, the FBI, the civilian, and the Unmarked LAPD (the one i want to make)?How do i add a light bar? Is it possible with the "children" tab in the editor?I can edit lights and traits, and i can always compare with other vehicles, but is there anything else i should know?

zmh3 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I had tried that, and it wasn't working, after reading through the comments i found i needed to put the file in my c:/ then unpack it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmh3 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 No you dont. I never have bothered to put files in C:\ to unlock them.Odds are it was because i'm not the administrator on my computer, and "run as administrator" wasn't working. Nevertheless, putting it into C:/ worked, regardless of whether it should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bells Gaming Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 If you don't mind using the exact same model and paint job, its easy to have four different vehicles with the same shape and colour. All that's required is making a new prototype. My recomendation would be to copy the FBI Tahoe, and put it into the directory you want (most likely you'll want 03 LA Police). Then name your new prototype, something easy generally works best for me, so, as you want an LAPD Unmarked Tahoe, I'd suggest something like 03 LA Police/tahoe_lapd_unmarked.e4p. Then you can edit the lights, traits, etc, and the wheels and doors will be there. That's the easiest possible way to make multiple vehicles from one model. I hope this helps, and if you need more help, feel free to pm me Cheers,Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
