[How-To] Get the Chameleon paints

[AvaN0x]

@AvaN0x

Streaming the files

First you’ll have to download the files from gta mods : Chameleon Paint [Add-On] - GTA5-Mods.com
Next you’ll need to open the .rpf file, you’ll find the needed files in dlc.rpf/common/data/ and dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf/.
This is how I ordered the files :

resourcename
| stream
| | vehicle_paint_ramps.ytd
| carcols_gen9.meta
| carmodcols_gen9.meta
| fxmanifest.lua

So you’ll have to stream the vehicle_paint_ramps.ytd file, and both .meta file need to be specified in the fxmanifest.lua as data_file.
Here is the content in the fxmanifest.lua I used:

fx_version "cerulean"
game "gta5"

files { "carcols_gen9.meta", "carmodcols_gen9.meta" }
data_file "CARCOLS_GEN9_FILE" "carcols_gen9.meta"
data_file "CARMODCOLS_GEN9_FILE" "carmodcols_gen9.meta"

And it should be done, there is not that much needed to be done.

Then you did something wrong .
I’ll let you follow the tutorial again.

You don’t have to edit anything, just follow the tutorial.

Alright. I will redownload the mod. I am not sure if I copied the correct files.
I already had the dlc mod installed in GTA. I am not sure if I copied the dlc mod, or the actual gta 5 gen9 files. Because I had a 27kb carcols_gen9.meta file. Not the 7kb. I most likely copied the wrong ones.

[Xd_Golden_Tiger]

Ah… Omfg I guess I copied the gta 5 version of the gen9 files. Not the actual mod gen9 files.
It works now. Sorry for wasting your time!

[FearlessFizzy]

May i ask how u got it working in vMenu?

[Xd_Golden_Tiger]

Yes.
Pull Request for actual vMenu release:

Chameleon Paint Job Update

My Fork of vMenu:

GitHub - XdGoldenTigerOfficial/vMenu: vMenu is a custom server sided...

[FearlessFizzy]

Awesome it works, Only when i switch to game build 2699 sadly. I am not using the new game build yet because it doesnt support my steering wheel, and i’ll wait till the new game build is fully fixed. so i stay on 2545 for a bit.

is there a way to use the colour codes from 161 to 176 with vMenu. or can u actually add a version for that for build 2545.

You can update your client scripts, you just need to download resource hacker, then there’s a forum post here that people use to update Menyoo, simple Trainer, etc etc

[Xd_Golden_Tiger]

Ah ok, If you where to edit my vMenu fork, You would just need to edit the IDs in the VehicleData.cs file from the data folder, then Build it. I might be able to make a build for you, and other people who might be using the same version (or lower).

[FearlessFizzy]

‘‘I might be able to make a build for you, and other people who might be using the same version or lower’’

That woud be awesome if u could do that.

[anon70864786]

Streaming content intended for one build, on a lower build, isn’t exactly allowed on FiveM. Just enforce the right gamebuild and call it a day

[AvaN0x]

I’m pretty sure they are talking about vMenu and not game build

[InclusiveRp]

do i have to add it to qb-customs or does it automatically show in the mech shop

[AvaN0x]

Hello, you’ll have to add it yourself to your script.

[anon70864786]

Worked a charm, thank you for your in depth tutorial!
