I was just wondering on how to change the color of cars that have permanent colors. Such as the FBI Rancher, the Taxi and te Patriot. If I use Lithjoe's trainer to spawn one in a garage it doesnt change the color. How would I do this? Thanks!

Wouldn't editing the carcols.dat work?

No, I don't think it would.

I've over the weekend managed to randomly spawn FBI Washingtons around town, in various colours. This was done by changing default.ide, or if it was the other default.something, can't remember.

Anyway, all attempts to do the same with the FBI Rancher has ended in the game freezing when one is about to be spawned.

I'm franticly working on figuring this out. As long as I don't change carcols.dat, the game doesn't crash but it doesn't spawn the car either.

I think this is a job for Cerbera...  :D

Yeah... sorry 'bout that, totally forgot.

Anyway, It seems impossible to make the game randomly spawn the FBI Ranchers, it just causes the game to crash. I'll try the other cars that are set to "ignore" in default.ide when I get the time. I suspect that all vehicles that have submissions are impossible to spawn randomly though.

[Edit] Noticed that the FBI Rancher is set taxi yellow in the colours file. Damn these shaded textures [/Edit]

You can spawn teh Deluxo and most civilian/normal cars randomly, its specials, such as police, etc, you can't.
