You could replace the number with "SWAT" and remove the other bits, but you need to edit a texture with an alpha channel. The one at the top (decals).

The yellow line coud be fixed by editing a text file, I think, since most colors are not defined by textures.

Ok how do I change the number I cant find where the file for it is ? none look like a number in the txd file

and where is the text file I need to edit

Thanks for your help

I guess you don't know about alpha channels.

Export the 1st texture as a tga, open it in photoshop and edit both the picture and the alpha channel.

wow thanks man that worked great lol thanks for helping a noob btw does yours still have that line faintly if it doesnt it would be much apreciated if u could tell me how to get rid of it have a

[Fragger.]

Well, My picture's from a model viewer and I don't see any lines. It looks solid black.

In your pictures I can't tell there's a line either. Maybe a close up would help. If there's a faint line, you can blame it on wear and tear...

There is a still a colour difference where the old raindancers yellow line was thanks for all your help

 

 

 

 

Ps: Im trying to make the Fbi Truck Black and a say swat put in the Txd I can only find the PD decal and not the Police of SA to edit any clue where to find them

[Fragger.]

try looking in vehicle.txd.

[adam schiller]

Ok Police and SA pd is in there but I presume if I changed police to swat all the police vehicle will become swat right? how do I make it specific for one vehicle.

Need to edit the model so that it uses a different texture.

[adam schiller]

Link to a tutorial ???

[Fragger.]

Try using a hex editor to hack the model. Maybe if you rename the texture used for decals you could just create a new txd. I'm just speculating, so it may not even work.

Good luck.
