omg

i need to reinstall gta

Man that's a tough decision. I'm kinda leanin' towards Caps-Rhino-Horizontal Bars, but then again, you don't see too many cars with Setina's being released nowadays. Either way, if I may make two suggestions - one being make whatever pushbar you go with removable, the other being the ability to map the lightbar's individual modules separately (like Cj24's recent releases). Maximum customization is something I always look for in a model...

Looks great though man, keep it up!

Mapping all the ELS like that is a lot of extra work. Especially with a lot of lights like this car will have. I don't know about that on this car. Update screenshots below..

-Grill lights added, rear deck lights added, rambar modified to better fit the car + pushbar lights, added various antennas

Released, see first post ^^^

Very nice, been using it since it was released :D

best looking crown vic to date...whats your next project?

Thanks. I have a simple private project to complete first and then I'm thinking about doing a Tahoe. Not sure of any details on it, like light bar or slicktop but thats what I want to do next. But who knows, I could change my mind before then and choose to do something else. I have someone who's been asking for an accurate Atlanta Police CVPI for a long time so thats a possibility too.

for you nickie....haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqFhNqIKZug&list=UUlMLCbI13JCepxxS1pltRuA&index=1&feature=plcp

for you nickie....haha

Video looks good man! But laggggyyyy haha

Video looks good man! But laggggyyyy haha

haha yeah ik bandicam lags and im trying to play with settings to make the videos less laggy....are you gunna make a dodge charger with a lightbar anytime soon?

I don't know, I have some other projects I need to finish first for some people and then we'll hit the drawing board and see.

Your CVPI is pretty impressive if I do say so myself; I love the different options for pushbars. A shame the ENB I'm currently using makes the flashers in the reverse-lights nearly blinding, thereby making the car almost impossible to drive.

Do you plan on doing one with EVI's Whelen Liberty but with the same strobe setup?

How long does it take to model? Is it difficult? (I am thinking about modeling, but it looks so complex)

It's pretty difficult. I tried to get into it and it was a lot more than I could handle. Luckily I think someone is going to help me learn it in a couple of weeks.

It depends on what your doing and how complex the car is that you want to make. When you first start modeling things are going to take you a LOT longer since your going to make mistakes and lots of them. I don't remember exactly but I'd say these cars took easily over 15 hours to produce. Then you cross your fingers and hope that when you export it and install it in the game that it doesn't crash. If it does that means more time figuring out whats wrong in. Plus not counting all the time you spend sending out a version to your testers, tweaking something then sending out another version and repeat until you have a perfect product that your happy with. By the time your done completely that your ready to do a public release you could have over 20 hours put in. It not only takes time but it is quite difficult. I didn't have anyone to teach me so I'm self taught and it took me a long time(over a month) just messing around in zmodeler to learn everything. Don't bother asking the experienced modders for help, they don't reply. Good luck to you if you try to learn! If you have a question about something specific don't hesitate to ask. Its better to ask than to waste time trying to figure something out.

@Slimory - No, not at this time

I completely agree with you but the questions I was asking were valid questions and no one would respond. You can ask those who were around. This was a long time ago too and there wasn't the resources that people have today. I agree 100% that people ask a lot of questions now days that can be answered with a little time and searching and people don't seem to want to take anytime to look around. They want a answer here and now without having to lift a finger to search but rather type up a thread and let someone else do the work for them. Even though the questions I had were valid I received no help at all and thats why I said that before, just trying to save him the time/frustration of trying to contact the experienced members. I've talked to others who have gone through the same thing but if you want to try, go right ahead and PM them. Now there are a select few(I wont name them) who have helped me out greatly and I'm forever thankful for that. Thats why I try to help whenever I can because I know what its like to not know what to do next or to have a problem you don't have the knowledge to fix. I don't want to get into a big discussion over whether or not the experienced modders help people out because it really doesn't matter. They help us out with all the cars they release and the fact that they are starting to release parts unlocked is a big help by itself. Plus I do sort of understand now why they didn't reply because now that I've released cars I get PMs all the time asking for help with zmod or for custom cars and its annoying after awhile. Its impossible to try and help everyone with their problems because it would take me all day. Even if you do take the time to help you end up never seeing a released car or any progress so it feels like a waste of time. Especially when I get the classic, "teach me how to make police cars" lol
