I always modified paintjobs in GTA IV because I hated the original LCPD badge that shows riot gear officers dragging a man away.I

​I kind of liked that badge, it was a funny satire of the heavy-handedness people associate with the NYPD. But realistic badges and door text would be pretty cool.

​Lol, indeed I definitely understood the sattire for the LCPD badge. It IS funny, but as I said, I like to make my games realistic, and speaking strictly from a realistic standpoint, I imagine realistically people wouldn't be too receptive to seeing that on law enforcement officials. I feel policing is all about winning the hearts and minds of the general public, something I think the law enforcement agencies in the US have been falling down on. There's so much cop hate it's sickening. However, The LSPD's badge motto of "Obey and Survive" is very definitely an accurate dig at the LAPD, especially with the recent trigger happiness I've seen in the news headlines. (I feel as though I'm not well enough informed to go into that, and I don't mean to offend anyone on either side of the issue, because, frankly, I don't give a damn. I'm just here to play vidya games)

If modding GTA V is anything like GTA IV, using something like OpenIV/SparkIV, it should be a cinch to modify the existing paintjobs. Just clone stamp out the phrase "Obey and Survive" with something more appropriate, save, and boom. Done. However, I have a bad feeling GTA V will not be so easy to access texture files with. I haven't attempted to mod GTA V yet, as the recent virus scare on such brand new mods for the PC port have kind of discouraged me.

​Generally speaking, we already have a texture editor, and some people (I'm not pointing any fingers at Yard) have already changed some liveries, like black-and-white Granger to plain white. I think even now removing the motto is possible. 

However I just fail to see how can you promote those principles in GTA, where cops don't even know how to arrest people :D

That cat picture is cute.......

But Sam's also been very quiet recently, maybe he's been performing the illegal act of SLEEP! Duh Duh Duuuh!

Sorry, was just joking around :P

Eh, I've seen worse on this topic. Didn't someone threaten to whip Sam if he slept?

​Even better! Whip em!

Why are we taking out our rage on just Sam and not LMS or others?

​That would have been me! Of course, a little whipping never harmed anyone ;)

Sorry.  I slept.

 

For an hour.

 

:(

Sorry.  I slept.

​Tut tut...

Sleep is for the weak, and those who aren't being constantly pestered by a large internet crowd to get something done! :P

 

 

But no seriously Sam you're doing great with LSPDFR, you deserve rest :)

In all seriousness though, not only do we have 'Crew Friday' tomorrow - there's something else to look forward to as well.

​Why are we taking out our rage on just Sam and not LMS or others?

It's easiest just to take out all of our rage on Sam. Too much effort to beat up the whole dev team

Sorry.  I slept.

 

For an hour.

 

:(

AN HOUR?! WHY NOT SLEEP FOR A YEAR?! IMA START MY RIOT NOW (Pssst Pipeline, get da whips!)

 

All jokes aside, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I am very grateful for your hard work and dedication. Someone give this man an award!
