Gta Guy 108 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have been wanting to change the police maveric in vice city from green and white to black and white, like it was in the beta. But whenever I change the colors, it doesn't change, it stays the same. I think that the game sometimes uses the police maveric that is flying around vice city, does anyone know the file of the police maveric that flys around vice city?

Gta Guy 108 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 as far as im remember then you have to edit the txd in gta3.img. I already know that, what I want to know is why when I change the carcol of the police maveric to black and white, it stays green and white. And the name of the police helicopter that flys around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all must start by uncheck the 'Read Only' property from all your files, now here's the deal, in VC exist two kinds of Police Mavercik, the one you can drive, and the one you can't, the regular Police Maverick is always at the top of the police stations in DownTown, you can change it color to any you want, it have it's lines in the Carcols file, if not you can always add it with the name of POLMAV, the other one that is actually the one that chases you and fly around VC is named 'Chopper', doesn't have it own line in carcols, although it can have one, by default, model's color is white, meaning that is not actually color-compatible, if you really want it with other color without screw so much into 3D Studio, just look for chopper.txd, you will find it textures and you can edit the skin at the color of your like.

I have been modding Vice City for a long time, I already know that you have to unmark read only, but when I change the car cols of the police maveric, from white and green to black and white, it doesn't work. And the chopper.txd doesn't have any green, it is just white. I don't know how it gets it texture unless if it takes it from the carcols...

Gta Guy 108 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 So I renamed the polmav to POLMAV, and it worked! Although there is still the same problem... Now the one that has a blue circle is me, flying the flyable police helicopter. The one in green is when the police helicopter was chasing me because I had a three star wanted level. The one in red is the one that flys around Vice. The only differences in the one that flys around and the one that chases you is that the one that chases you, has real blades, and the one that flys around doesn't. And the one that flys around has a red light that beams out of it. I have a picture of chopper.txd, and it has NO GREEN, it is all white. How can I change them to black and white??

Suction Testicle Man Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The chopper.dff could have the green polys' material set to green - in which case import the file into Zmod or whichever program you prefer, and take a look. If so, just change the material's colour to white and export the file again. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated.
