Is There Any Way to Have More Police Cars?

[Eagle 58]

I wanted to know is there any way to have more police cars? I mean you have police, police2 and as a third cruiser you have sultan for example. Of course you can mod the sultan with police model but I wanted to know how he can have proper siren (when you press G, people will move) and be used as a real police car.

Thanks.

I believe you can only change existing vehicles, not add new ones, so your choices are police, police2, noose, polpatriot (if you want a truck or SUV, cars don't handle as well in this position) and fbi. You also have nstockade and stockade [might be polstorckade or pstockade - can't remember off the top of my head] however those are going to be slow and roll over around every corner.

What I have done is made a copy of my vehicles.img file and I just change the name of it depending on what is in it, so if I play with a certain group of people I have certain cars that they roll with. For example I would just have to rename whichever set I want to use to vehicles.img and change the current vehicles.img to whatever it contains, say I have vehicles-orig.img which is the vanilla GTA 4 vehicles, then I have vehicles-lcpdfr.img for use with people from this site, etc, etc.

Hope that helps you a bit.

It is possible, just add the car files into your vehicles.img (I called it for example police3) and add the lines for it in vehicles.ide, carcols.dat and handling.dat. To spawn it you have to use SNT, look for added cars in its config file and add yours. If you want your car to appear in traffic I recommend to use mod. If the vehicles.ide is set up correctly (I think 4th or 5th value must be police) the cars will also have lights/siren.

No, unfortunately not.

I thought that would be the case, I heard about that method a while ago. would the LCPDFR one work though?

Then you can't do traffic stops with LCPDFR I assume if you don't have board computer?

you can choose 'Don't use computer' during traffic stop

You can use G for lights/sirens if you call the car police3, police4, or policeb. For stops, just flip a coin or something, or use mdc.lcpdfr.com (NOTE: this is a SEPARATE TOOL from LCPDFR; learn how to use it before you substitute it for checking on the ingame computer).
