Thanks for the link, but I want to ADD cars, not REPLACE them.

There was a tutorial on GPM how to do that.

 

Remember you can only add police3, police4 and policeb.

 

Just like I did.

Not anymore ;)

 

Now you can add as many police cars as possible with ELS V7 since it supports added vehicles!!

Just out of interest - do sirens + the computer work with the added vehicles when using the ELS V7 way of doing it??

When modifying anything in your GTA IV game you should make backups, period.  It will save massive time and headaches and you're welcome!  As for you request there are youtube videos if you need to see it done.   I would use Custo's "more vehicles mod" or this added vehicle pack on GTA 4 mods and you'll notice what files are needed to be replaced and what changes are needed to be made.

 

Custo's mod:     '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

GTA 4 Mods added vehicles:  http://www.gta4-mods.com/vehicles/added-vehicles-pack-v20-f16800

 

GPM thread if you need to read how to do it:

http://gtapolicemods.com/showthread.php?3018-Add-New-Car-GTA-IV-Not-Replacing

Use OpenIV !!mandatory!! (nostupidsparkiv!) & btw the part about police3, 4 & b only, refers to the fact that cars won't pull over if there are other cars other than emergency, even if ELS enabled; & you could do that also in V6 anyway xDD

How do you add them then

Please do not thread highjack. Please create your own thread. 

1) Read the ELS guide.

2) Make your own thread for your own questions. Don't use someone else's.

Didn't know if this topic has been solved or just no one gave a **** anymore, so heres a way i added my police3

 

 

In OpenIV add the file into the vehicles.img, make sure to rename the files to "police3". 

 

 

I recommend using notepad++ to edit these files

notepad would just be a pain to use.

 

4 files are needed to be edited : 

 

handling.dat 
vehicles.ide
cargrp.dat
carcols.dat

all files are located in the Grand Theft Auto IVcommondata folder

MAKE BACKUPS OF THESE FILES BEFORE CONTINUING

 

vehicles.ide

In vehicles.ide copy police2 and paste below it and edit the first 4 words to this.

The first word is the Model Name (e.g. police3.wft) and the second one is the Texture file name(eg police3.wtd), third is the type of vehicle. Fourth is the name given to its handling info in the

 

Example:

police2, police2, car, POLICE2, POLICE2, VEH@STD, VEH@STD_RI1, 100, 999, 0.2348, 0.2348, 0.2, 2, 1.0 ,1, ext_requi+ext_strong+livery
police3, police3, car, POLICE3, SULTAN, VEH@STD, VEH@STD_RI1, 100, 999, 0.2365, 0.2365, 0.7, 2, 1.0 ,1, ext_gang+ext_strong+livery

 

at the moment don't worry about the numbers they just relate to the dirt on the car, wheel radius and the frequency of seeing the car.

 

Once vehicles.ide has been edited save it and open handling.dat

 

handling.dat

In handling.dat paste the handling info of the car you are adding below POLICE2 then rename it to POLICE3.

Save handling.dat and go to cargrp.dat

 

cargrp.dat

In cargrp.dat find police2 and add police3, next to it

the line should look like this 

police, police2, police3, polpatriot, noose, predator, pstockade, nstockade, fbi  # POPCYCLE_GROUP_COPS

editing this file ensures that you don't see civilians driving the police car around, it groups specific cars to groups of people.

Save cargrp.dat and open carcols.dat

 

carcols.dat

This file just handles the default colors that the car gets spawned with. Find police2 copy and paste below it, then change the name to police3. If you like a specific color for the car to be spawned with use the col table they have at the top of the file.

 

it looks like this:

col
#BLACK's
10,10,10,-,black			# 0 black				
37,37,39,-,black			# 1 black poly 

if you want black to be one of the defaults copy " 10,10,10, " and paste it next to the other set of numbers in police3 that segment should look like this

police2, 	113,74,113,
police3,    113,74,113, 22,34,72, 10,10,10, 

make sure you have a comma at the end of the line

 

Save carcols.dat 

 

Adding it to the trainer

 

In trainer.ini(located in the main GTAIV folder) find the Added Cars section 

//Added Cars //

[AddedCars] 

edit Enable1=0 to Enable1=1 

change ModelName1= turismo to ModelName1=police3

and then change DisplayName1 = Car 1 to the Cars name 

it should look similar to this 

//Added Cars //

[AddedCars]
Enable1=1
ModelName1=police3
DisplayName1=Police Commodore SS 

Save trainer.ini

 

Open up GTA IV, go into the trainer and spawn the new car in the added car section on the last page, then have some fun!!!

Well, the answer has already been given, that's why nobody replied.

 

And good job. You used a bit different approach than the guide at GPM.  

I have follow the tutoriel of Rng43 and it's work. But i have problem, I can not do traffic stop with LCPDFR, and siren don't work in MP :( Anyone have solution ?
