Yep, if you delete every instance of

<Vehicle>police3</Vehicle>

it won't spawn anymore.

​Thank you for this! I was sick and tired of the interceptor with it's cruddy "POLICE" livery always showing up.

Plus, I know it's based on the Ford Taurus, but I rarely ever see it fielded on the road whenever I'm driving out. Having the Stanier spawn more often, it feels more like the actual LAPD.

Yeah, actually, it would be nice to make Buffalo and VSPI spawn with like 80% possibility, while the Interceptor will be the least probable car, like IRL. Will see if I can do it myself...

Just add more instances of police and police2.

Buzzards work! I was using the wrong dispatch.meta file. I wonder if they will still use fast ropes.

-snip-

​Already at work I see yard, I loved some of your previous stuff from GTAIV. Will have to check this out 

Someone please make a video about this!

Alright, now time for loadouts.meta!

Changes:

All police shotguns, MP5s and carbines have flashligths.

Cops and Shotgun SWAT (they use the same loadout) have 75% chance to get the normal Pistol and 25% to get the Combat Pistol and the a 50% chance to get a flashlight on their pistol.

Shotgun Cops have 10% chance to spawn with the carbine instead of the shotgun.

SWAT has Heavy Pistols with flashlights as their sidearms.

SWAT has 15% chance to get a MP5, 42.5% chance to get a carbine and 42.5% chance to get a carbine with a scope.

Soldiers get Heavy Pistols, carbines with flashlights, scopes and grips and a 25% chance of a Combat MG with a scope.

​Will this also be downloadable?

I've noticed a weird bug with the new edited dispatch.meta, and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere so I thought I'd report it. The mod has been working great, though a lot of police vehicles (I've seen the Cruiser, Interceptor, Buffalo, Unmarked Cruiser, and FIB Granger) have been spawning with nobody in them. These "ghost cars" have no drivers (though they still drive), all head/tail/emergency lights off, and do not appear as flashing red/blue icons on the minimap. I haven't gone out into the country yet, though, so I can't say whether or not this issue occurs with the LSSD vehicles as well. They only seem to spawn every now and again, though I have seen four of them bunched up together at a red light. Other than this I've really been liking this mod, it's been much needed.

Yeah, I am going to upload it tomorrow. For now, you can download the paste (http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=hNwyexH3) and replace the loadout.meta with it. 

They are going to be a bit tricky, because they are not a different model, but rather a "tuned" version of the standard Stanier. I was wrong, they are a different model. I'll see what I can do.

On the other hand, I can add FIB or the Army to the wanted level system. Anybody up for this?

​Oh we're ready lol. There is a mod out already that spawn army and tanks and all, but I don't want to replace your amazing Vapid Stanier spawning mod that you created. Also, is it possible to make a mod that will spawn cop cars to patrol around like in the old GTA's?

Is it now possible to have police cars and officers patrol the streets now because someone was able to do that some way with this mod https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/cop-world so maybe it possible for officers to patrol the streets finally?

Could you please make an alternate version where helicopter spawn rates are toned down if that's possible? The mod idea sounds great, especially the loadout part, gonna test it tommorow, however it'd be just awesome if it was finally possible to have decent heli spawns, so that they don't spawn LITERALLY a second after you destroy one.

Why do some police cars spawn with no drivers and act like a regular driver? I ended up scaring an Unmarked Cruiser off and it had nobody in it, lol.

The cars are patrolling, it's just very rare. I could try to increase the number.

I will see what I can do. 

 

Hey guys, could somebody make a video showing off my mod? Turns out my PC is not suited for recording :/

In other news, I am almost done with the loadout.meta mod!

It would be neat if the unmarked cruiser and the FIB Buffalo had a low chance of spawning with lower wanted levels, a lot of agencies use these vehicles for their traffic divisions. It would also give the county cops a bit more variation, since they really got the short end of the emergency vehicle stick. Likewise, if possible, adding the Police Bike in the city and out in the county with SAHP officers riding (maybe give them the set of unmarked vehicles as well?) would be a very nice addition.

​Agreed. Blaine County really got the short straw, in regards to vehicles, and Deputy Sheriff's.

I am adding SAHP motorcycles to the countryside - they are going to have 33% chance to spawn, in addition to 44% chance of Stanier and 22% chance of Granger on wanted levels higher than 1.

There is going to be 33% chance of spawing FIB instead of police on 4th level and 66% chance on 5th level.

 

Released an update.

This is something that bothers me, if all it took was a few extra lines in dispatch.meta to see all of this variation, then why the hell couldn't Rockstar do this? FFS!

Because most people wouldn't care.

 

Hey guys, if you notice a car without a driver crusing around, please let me know what car it was and at which wanted level it spawned. Thanks.

Once vehicle mods become available, I would like to replace the sheriff SUV with a CHP/SAHP Ford Explorer. Do you think it would be possible to spawn these with a single Highway Patrol officer instead of the 4 SWAT guys?
