BenzyPlates

Features

• Just drop in images. Replace any of GTA’s plate designs with your own PNG — no OpenIV, no CodeWalker, no rebuilding vehshare.ytd. BenzyPlates loads your images and swaps the textures at runtime.
• Clearly labeled. Every plate is documented and named for the design it replaces (e.g. 1_yellow_on_black.png), so you can tell exactly which image changes which plate.
• Self-documenting placeholders included. Ships with a labeled placeholder for every plate — each one looks like a real plate (border, screws) and prints, right on it, exactly which design it replaces. So you can see which is which in-game before swapping in your own art.
• Plate template + normal map included. A blank templates/template.png (the plate, with screws) and its matching normal map come bundled to build your art on — and the normal map is applied to every plate so they sit on the vehicle like real, screwed-on plates.
• Replace some or all. Change one plate or all of them — anything you leave disabled stays the untouched base-game design.
• Includes the Chop Shop DLC plates. eCola, Sprunk, Liberty City, Las Venturas, and the LS Car Meet / Panic / Pounders plates are supported too — they ship disabled by default (so they don’t overwrite the branded stock plates until you opt in) and need game build 3095+.
• Optional “one plate for everything.” Made a single design and want every vehicle to use it? Turn on Config.ForceIndex and BenzyPlates points every vehicle at that design.
• Helpful console output. If an image is missing or a name is wrong, BenzyPlates prints a clear, bordered message telling you what’s wrong and how to fix it.
• Tiny and standalone. Entirely client-side. No database, no dependencies, no server load.
