How to add vehicles/skins without replacing them?

[Matey]

Hello fellas, lately I've seen something interesting on a server called Grafuroam, if I'm not mistaken, Grafu added vehicles without replacing the actual ones, cand someone explain me how is this possible? Also, can it be done for ped skins too?

Shaders

Alright but.. could you give me an example please?

[John Smith]

he is making his custom hydra models visible only to FO clan afaik, it could also be achieved by loading dff and txd files for specific team/player without using any complicated shaders.

No, when you press F1>Vehicle you can notice a new tab with Custom Vehicles and the other tabs with the original ones.

go to your mta directory

then edit the file so the start of file looks like this

type="vehicle"> 
    "Real Cars"> 
            "429" name="BMW Z4" /> -- first numbers are vehicle IDs and second is your name of car(can be anything), visit wiki.multitheftauto.com to find out vehicle ids, 429 would be for banshee i believe. 
        
    "Aircraft"> 
        "Helicopters"> 
            "548" name="Cargobob" /> 
            "425" name="Hunter" /> 
            "417" name="Leviathan" /> 
            "487" name="Maverick" /> 
            "488" name="News Chopper" /> 
            "497" name="Police Maverick" /> 
            "563" name="Raindance" /> 
            "447" name="Seasparrow" /> 
            "469" name="Sparrow" /> 
        
--and other things below 
  

when u got that,save it and restart freeroam resource and you will have your real cars list.

Exactly, I don't want to replace them, I want to add additional ones.

[Matey]

Ain't nobody gonna help me?

Matey? Just download a shader from google, and install it like a plugin. From resource and mtaserver.lua. You don't need any scripts.

What do you mean by shader, I'm kinda new to these terms.

[Ren_712]

You can replace textures using mta shader functions - per texture or/and per entity. search shader and shader_examples on mta wiki for more info. Shader effects can be used in resources (not as plugins) btw.

I'm looking for the same thing... Adding vehicles without replacing it. What John Smith writed:

<group name="Real Cars"> 
            <vehicle id="429" name="BMW Z4" /> -- first numbers are vehicle IDs and second is your name of car(can be anything), visit wiki.multitheftauto.com to find out vehicle ids, 429 would be for banshee i believe. 

That's not true!. As he said, 429 id is for banshee, so you need to replace it before adding that line, or you will get normal banshee with new name (BMW Z4). So, i think that we need to create kind of new ID. Idk. Need some 1 to proff that

At the moment using custom vehicle IDs is not possible so instead you need to replace already existing vehicle IDs and that line would only add bmw z4 on freeroam panel list

You need to add custom vehicle model by yourself
