Brute Stockade "Police Transport"

This simple texture-swap mod replaces the "INMATE TRANSPORT" writings on Police Stockade with "POLICE TRANSPORT", since for some odd reason this truck appears in Three Leaf Clover, being used for NOOSE emergency response. Also, NYPD doesn't really transport inmates, that's someting that the New York City Department of Correction does.

Also, this mod removes the "BN32" and "KSC-303" writings, as they could be considered unique and exlusive for this particular Police Stockade, while in Three Leaf Clover we see multiple of them next to each other, with the same (seemingly) unique writings.

Install:

0. Backup your original files, I recommend to copy your entire vanilla "vehicles.img" if you're a frequent vehicle modder!

1. Using OpenIV or SparkIV, open the GTA IV > pc > models > cdimages > vehicles.img

2. Find file "pstockade.wtd" and replace the "pstockade_livery" using a file provided.

===Technical Info===

Only the pstockade_livery texture has been modified, nothing else. The word "POLICE" was created using letters from "INMATE TRANSPORT", with L being created from T, and C being created from O.

The new textures were placed within default mapping limits, to not require more mapping space than default texture. This means that if some other vehicle mod is also using this texture file, it should also appear correctly on such modded model.

GIMP has been used to edit the textures. I am providing two graphic files:

• .dds file, which is a default OpenIV format, the texture file has simply been overwritten using default GIMP's settings, hence the texture file size and lack of mipmaps. I highly suggest using OpenIV's function to generate mipmaps and change pixel format.
• .png file, which was exported using GIMP with its default settings, with every box unchecked except "Save background color" and "Save resolution".

I'm not a professional nor experienced modder; however I am open to any advice and constructive criticism!
