I am trying to make a Mechanic car to light Orange instead of Red/blue as police and Ambulnce have.

Okey, i have tried bit by making a Carcols.meta with a edit .Lua . Event download a Sheriff car that had all that Data ( Carcols.meta and Lua file in it ) but i cant get it to work, Nothing happends.
The Server is on ESX script…

Anyone that can show me the way how its done?

Okay so you’ve done the correct thing there, then the vehicle you are modifying have you downloaded it’s carvariations.meta and modified the siren settings in it and streamed it along with the carcols.meta?

Look like this in the folder:
data ( carcols, carvariations and Vehicles meta file are in )
stream ( the cars yft and ytd file are in )
_resource.lua

Lua looks like this:
resource_manifest_version ‘77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5’

files {
‘data/vehicles.meta’,
‘data/carcols.meta’,
‘data/carvariations.meta’,
}

data_file ‘VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE’ ‘data/vehicles.meta’
data_file ‘CARCOLS_FILE’ ‘data/carcols.meta’
data_file ‘VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE’ ‘data/carvariations.meta’

client_script ‘data/vehicle_names.lua’

Try updating the manifest version to the latest, make sure you clear the server cache before you try it.

resource_manifest_version ‘05cfa83c-a124-4cfa-a768-c24a5811d8f9'

I just gave you the line of code to replace the one in your file.

Replace this

resource_manifest_version ‘77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5’

with this

resource_manifest_version ‘05cfa83c-a124-4cfa-a768-c24a5811d8f9'

carvariations.meta (8.1 KB)
There is the file
Never look at that thought it had nothing to do with light

carvariations.meta (8.1 KB)
carcols.meta (41.4 KB)

Try these 2. Make sure you backup your old ones just incase. And clear your server cache again and restart the server.

  1. change texture colors of lightbar/lights to yellow/orange (ytd file)
  2. convert custom carcols sirens setting to yellow/orange with custom ID (defaults are 1 thru 15, I think so use a number like 110 or 223)
  3. vehicle carvariations must point to custom carcols
  4. merge vehicle to existing metas or run as separate resource
  5. clear server cache (esp if merging to existing metas)
  6. restart server and restart sessionmanager

  1. vehicle carvariations must point to custom carcols
    There i go nuts… where does this point to carcols? Change the ID now to 111 (it was 15 so that may be the problem)
    I find Modelname that not have same name as the car i use …is that i have to change?
    or is it the sirenSettings that conects to that ?
