Greetings everyone.

 

I received some extra cash and put together a system... recently built it and GTA iV seems to work well.  Initially I had some issues and after testing found out I had a bad graphics card... but now GTA is stable and can run for hours with no issue on totally maxed out settings.

 

But now Im concerned with loading mods and having issues.  So wondering if anyone has a similar system or set-up and can tell me the best way, sequence etc to load mods.

 

First here is my system specs:

 

Processor: Intel i5-3570

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600

CPU Cooler: Corsair H800i

Graphic Card: Gigabyte GTX 670 OC with 2GB

Power Supply: Corsair HX-850

Data Storage: Both SSD & Mechanical HDs

Case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-1

 

 

I know my cooler is a bit overkill... but I originally was going to get the i7-3770 but for $100 less there's  not much difference in processor performance as far as gaming so I got the i5 instead and rather then re-researching the coolers just kept the one I originally ordered.  It actually keeps the processor pretty cool.  And with the Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 case with all the fans etc... my overall system is pretty cool.   Had to swap out the default color shift fans for Cooler Master fans which are really quiet.

 

So there's my system.

 

So now that I got everything working and GTA IV (Steam) ... how do I get to play LCPDFR with ELS and replacing the games generic cars with ELS compatible cars?   I tried doing it and I get tons of taxis all over the place... and in different parts of the city I will get all one generic car type.  

 

I see videos on youtube with nicely mixed traffic.  Thats what I want. 

 

I would also like to run mods that make the game look realistic and some of the other fun police mods like Towing and other things i see on the many youtube videos I have seen in the past 2 years.

 

Any suggestions as to how to go about installing these without getting crazy bugs making me have to re-inslall again and again?

 

Thank you all for your help.

I'm only interested in doing the LCPDFR... no fire or medic scripts I dont think.  See enough of that at work.  So you suggest LCPDFR first, then maybe a environment enhancer and ELS?

 

Thanks for your reply

 

NYCMedic

well yeah i do lcpdfr then els then go from there all ways do the important mods first.!!.

Gotcha.  I will give it a try in a little bit.

 

Thanks again for the replies.

 

NYCMedic

your welcome anytime

Ok just loaded LCPDFR and playing a little bit testing it out.  It seems I am only getting Domestic Disturbances, Muggings and Suicide Calls.  Is it because of the area I am in?

 

NYCMedic

well theres really not alot of different types youll have to download bravehearts police mod or somthing its on this website and it gives you different calls!!

Ahhh ok.  I saw on youtube videos drug deals shoot outs etc.  I guess its the other script.   I will try installing that next.  

 

Again thanks for your help.

 

NYCMedic

If you want to get those calls try and hit alt-f11 and you should get random calls like drug deals and armed suspects fleeing.

Awesome!  Thank you!

just follow the readme. To prevent lagging and stuff i suggest to close all the unnecessary background programs.

and for els just google els v6.1 or v6 i think the latest one is and download and itll tell you how to install if not theres many tutuorials on youtube and then after that just download els enabled models from here in the download section, make sure you download vehicle models and not textures that was my problem at first when i started playing. as for the shootouts and fleeing suspects i second the reply above pressing alt+f11 will give you random calloutsand if you do not get one you want, hit it again, and again and so on untill you see one you like! for your taxi bug or same type of vehicle bug, you will need to download traffic flow which is a script that loads up diffferent types of vehicles. also if you have online you could always start up a game by yourselfa and you will have different types of vehicles without traffic flow. as for bravehearts script the calls are very diferent and more over the place but you just have to remember the more scripts the more your game will lag/ or crash due to script failure. if you have any other questions or concerns to pm me or something!

Appreciate the reply. I was watching some videos of LCPDFR and I see some users use all the little add-ons like towing etc. But they sometimes seem buggy or just a waste of time I guess. So I will stick with the basics for now.

So far with the re-install of LCPDFR I did not notice the taxi or same care bug. But Im about to install ELS so we'll see. (fingers crossed) :)

good luck man!

Ok I installed in this order:

LCPDFR

ELS

NYPD 2010 Crown Vic ELS - Police

NYPD Charger Highway ELS - Police2

Loaded up and see only Taxi's and Pollice cars.

Turned on LCPDFR and went on duty... was able to see the new police cars. Got in turned on the lights with ELS and all that works. No difference in performance from what I can see. Just loads of Taxi cabs.

Also noticed that the camera heigh when looking from behind the car... the camera height has lowered so I cant see what is in front of the car. When I go into a taxi or parked vehicle I see it with a higher camera angle so I can see. Is this a bug or can it be corrected?

Thanks!

the height thing is the police car depending on what car you put i the file spot.

I put the 2 new police cars in the Police and Police2 spots. They both do the same thing. Camera is lowered.

I did notice that inside view on one of them is not good at all. Looking for the other police car to steal and try.

I was reading that the taxi issue is from High Poly cars. is adding 2 new cars that high in poly to cause it or is it a known bug?
