I never knew how much I liked vintage police cars until I found some.

 

 

I am in the process of converting a few law enforcement vehicles from Mafia II.

1940s Culver Empire Police Special - http://mafiagame.wikia.com/wiki/Culver_Empire_Police_Special

1950s Smith Custom 200 Police Special - http://mafiagame.wikia.com/wiki/Smith_Custom_200_Police_Special

And possibly the Armored Truck and Police Bus - http://mafiagame.wikia.com/wiki/Police_Bus

And maaaybe I'll do a few civilian cars like the limo and some nice ones but I'm really not sure yet, I'd be more inclined if people wanted them.

 

 

Here's the Smith Custom 200 at the moment:

 

 

Also, if anyone could give me some tips about ELS Rotating lights, that would be a huge help. I've never used them and there isn't too much documentation that I could find. I know normal ELS, I just don't know how to set up the Hierarchy for rotors and such.

Wheres Lundy?
             ^Can somebody teach me how to notify a user in a post?

Edited July 21, 201510 yr by lcpdUnit22

Besides quoting, I have no clue how to tag users.

I am not sure but here goes nothing... [tag]lcpdUnit22[tag] [tag]lcpdUnit22[/tag]

No, you type @ and the user name directly followed by it. 

Thanks ineseri, I guess this is how you notify someone @lcpdUnit22

Hey, I just got a notification! thanks.

So, Where is @Lundy?

Oh I love the smell of vintage cars in the morning!

If you actually get these working in-game, I will look through every single file I have, find them, and get these released.

P.S - It's sort of feeding time here, not morning, unless if you eat all day.

Oooooo I like ;)

So after creating the car backwards (Yes, completely backwards), I finally got the model in-game with minimal errors. Don't mind the textures, they haven't actually been mapped yet.

 

However, the wheels rotate around the car but I checked the dummies and collision models and they're fine.. so anyone know why this would happen?

Sooo, I got the tires working and got a basic rotating light working.

The light is bound to get better and now I just have to actually map all the textures.

Luckily the rest of the cars will take much less time since I know what to do now.

Also, I'm looking for anyone interested in possibly beta testing because I'll probably miss something.

 

PS: Don't mind the low quality, I just run the game on low.

Next thing we know someone will go and make this...

1899 goes about 18mph on level ground 30 miles on a charge

Haha nah I think 1950s is old enough for me.

So far so good.

I think the actual model has been fully textured and everything seems to be working fine except the wheels (not sure the problem) and the collision models (just have to tweak them).

 

In the video you can see the basic police light (hopefully I'll be able to make a better one), and you can see the wheel problem.

If anyone knows how to fix the issue, that would be great.

(Also have to fix it so that bullet holes and such show up)

Hello everyone, just wanted to let everyone know that this isn't dead.

I've finished that car and Sgt. Kanyo was even nice enough to make a wonderful handling line for it.

The only thing holding me back from releasing is that darn rotating light. If anyone knows about rotating ELS, please pm me so that I can fix this thing.

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I am going to a military college in just a few days and that will make it impossible for me to work on these vehicles anymore since I won't have access to my desktop. 

 

So, if anyone would like what I've got so far and wants to finish it then send me a PM and I'll send you everything you need. All I ask is that you give me a little credit because I've put countless hours into these.

The Smith Custom is pretty much done, the only thing not done is the light on top because I never did find someone that knew about ELS rotating lights.

As for the Culver Empire, its not as close to being finished but it's mapped, drive able in-game, and the heirarchy should be pretty much all set. I think the collision mesh is all that needs to be done and some minor shader editing.

 

The Smith Custom also has a wonderful handling line which was custom made by Sgt. Kanyo. (All hail Kanyo)

hola existe la posibilidad de acceder al vehiculo ya terminado?
