Bravado Buffalo Slicktop/MX7000 by Ekalb 1.0

Another addition to my Buffalo series!

This one comes with alternating lighting setups using the extra components feature. This means that sometimes the vehicle will spawn with extra1 (a Code 3 MX7000 lightbar) or extra2 (slicktop with grill and rear deck lights). What this hopefully means is that you can have marked and unmarked cars spawning from the same slot if you use fully marked and unmarked liveries.

It's important to state that this vehicle has become very similar to one that Lt. Caine made back in 2009, his NLSP Buffalo (http://gtapolicemods...hp?do=file&id=1). My mod does not use any of Lt. Caine's content and I did not make it in an attempt to plagiarise what he had done. I created it based on what suggestions community members made and it has just happened to end up relatively similar. I hope I have tried to deliver something slightly different though and I do believe Lt.Caine/Luxart Modifications deserve substantial credit for his contributions to the modding community.

I continue to learn new things about modelling and for this project what I had to deal with a lot was collision setup. Due to a bug that I couldn't resolve the mx7000 lightbar unfourtunately has no collission, but on the plus side the collision for the rest of the vehicle should be working perfectly. I've also figured out how to fix an issue which I believe has plagued many of my cars in that you couldn't shoot any of the vehicle's occupants through the glass. With this Buffalo, that should be possible - so enjoy!

The vehicle remains relatively low in file size meaning it shouldn't cause as much of a strain on games or systems as other modded vehicles well, and the fact that it is a modified default vehicle should allow it to fit well into your game world.

The model is provided in open and unlocked format in order to encourage members of the modding community. If you wish to share liveries of this vehicle, a template is provided. However if you wish to share modified versions of the vehicle files themselves, fair credit to all contributed authors, myself included, is expected.

I did not distribute this to a test group but I believe it is more or less bug free but if you do identify any issues, please post them here or in my modding thread and I'll work on a resolution.
