Plateback Extender (Add and use more than just 3 License Plates)

Does it works on addon vehicles?

@sauin8s9h0ine21 Yes, but only on cars, that use the original license plate system, because there are some cars that have never changing license plates. These don't have a object on the car model that the game can handle as a license plate. For example: The Car on your profile picture is an addon car, that uses the games license plate system, so in this case it just works.

to edit its bit misunderstanding here

64-146=1
147-161=2
162-209=3
210-231=4
232-240=5
241-330=6
331-339=7
340-356=8
357-363=9
364-376=10

confuse to remember how it works why not plate name then zone name
//plateLS is texture name
plateLS = los santos
plateLV = las ventura
plateSF = san fiaro
plateWS = Whetstone

which means according to zone it will use that texture. it will be easy to understand just saying hope you doo something and its geat mod i like it very much

@Davidstrs The game points to an index in an array defined by an memory address that get's modified by FLA to get the texture. So that means that it creates an array out of the texturename: platebackX, where X is the number in the array minus one. So plateback1 is array index 0, plateback2 is array index 1 and so on...

That's why there exists an debug option where you see on screen, which zone name you are at/in, what index from the zone mapping it is and in what platebackX it results.

You can always add comments in the txt for an better overview at the bottom where i defined the plateback mappings, so you dont get confused. Just start the line with ; and then write your own comment there.

I've added a link to a zone short list that is used in game from top to bottom it goes in the plugin from 0 to 376. Write an exact mapping or a range mapping into the file and set that to the index from the plateback array. The confusion might occur because of the "off by one" mistake. It's a common error that can occur when working with arrays, because they always start at zero, but a normal person counting would start at one.

I can in the next days look for a better approach that isn't so confusing. But even if confusing, it's way better than in the original game because in the past i always wanted to add more plates. Now it's finally possible!

Edit:
Maybe i'll just add a function that takes an additional argument from the txt file to show in game what the plateback says.

is it possible to add an option to turn on the night number plate, such as what the ivf uses ?

Heya, I think there may be a bug with this mod. Whenever I try to use RZL Trainer's Teleport to Waypoint function with this mod on, the game crashes. I can teleport just fine between Interiors, but when doing it in the game world itself crashes the game. Hopefully you can look into this, thanks!

Bro this is absolutely awesome. I've been waiting for a plugin like this for years!!! Thank you so much!!! I hope it works as intended

What do you think of adding a function for multiple platecharsets? Like synchronized with the currently used plateback number? That would be totally awesome because there are many plate mods which replace the platecharsets texture

Actually it would be awesome if you could add variations for any other textures inside vehicle.txd. There are mods like EnhanceParticleTXD which replace the original vehicle.txd. How awesome would it be to be able to use multiple vehicle.txd's inside a single one?

Do you think it's possible to remove the 377 plateback limit? There are tons of plateback mods.

Oh i now understand what your plugin does. It checks the current zone the player character is in and uses the corresponding plate. This is awesome, too, but what would be more awesome would be just random license plate using of cars

Oh what a coincidence, i made the same plugin for Tightened'reas

Is it possible to raise the limit of the plugin from 376 for adding new platebacks for added zones?
