Custom liveries are the ultimate way to brand your private server. The process begins outside of Roblox. You will need to download the official ERLC vehicle templates provided by the developers. Using image editing software like Photoshop, GIMP, or Photopea, you will overlay your designs onto these 2D templates. Remember to keep your layers organized and always save your work in high resolution before uploading to Roblox.
The Police Roleplay Community (PRC) has strict moderation guidelines for custom liveries. If your livery violates these rules, it will be rejected, and repeated offenses can lead to a ban from the custom livery system.
One of the most common reasons for livery rejection is copyright infringement. You cannot simply Google a real-world police department seal (e.g., the NYPD or LAPD badge) and slap it on your vehicle. This violates intellectual property laws and Roblox Terms of Service.
The Solution: Create "Lore-Friendly" equivalents. Instead of the exact LAPD badge, design a custom shield that uses similar colors and shapes but features original artwork in the center. Use generic fonts instead of a brand's trademarked typography.
Because ERLC wraps your 2D image around a 3D model, designs often stretch or warp over wheel wells and door handles. Before finalizing your livery pack, upload a low-resolution test version. Spawn the car in-game, walk around it, and note where lines mismatch or text is cut off. Return to your editing software, make micro-adjustments, and then upload the final, high-quality version for official use.
Creating custom liveries requires patience and a good eye for design. By respecting the PRC guidelines and avoiding copyrighted material, you ensure your server's vehicles look incredible without running afoul of moderation.
