Greetings, I made the Multnomah County Sheriff, my first skin, as a test skin to see what I could do with it. I have since decided I am going to continue creating skins and as such, I am consolidating all my threads into one, I shall update this one as more come out. Enjoy and leave feedback. Feel free to reuse and modify skins as you see fit but you must credit me for them.

Thanks!

Greetings LCPDFR, I bring to you my next skin, the Gresham Police Department CVPI skin.

But first, the CVPI skin;

Now, the 06 K-9 Tahoe Skin;

This skin was made for EVI's Washington Metro Police Department K9 Tahoe, I'd appreciate it if someone could point out any other Tahoe's that use this model(If it's open, come to think of it.) Also, is there a version of this model with a non wrap around rambar?

Here is the newer model Tahoe Skin;

This skin was made for KevinDV + Cj24's Tahoe, . I would also like it if some could point out other uses of this model, thanks.

For those of you who are not familiar with Multnomah County it is the seat of the Portland Metro and the home of world famous former top cop Sheriff John Bunnell. Real life versions of these skins: http://www.flickr.co...ios/4389510260/ for the CVPI's

Older Tahoe, http://www.flickr.co...ech/1314203672/

New Tahoe, http://www.mcso.us/p...arros%20Rig.jpg

These skins are quite accurate with the exception of the Tahoe skins, the reason being is that I made them specifically for models that I could find with a modest lightbar setup that used the Whelen Liberty. The first good K-9 Tahoe with a Whelen Liberty just happened to be EVI's fantastic Tahoe and I could not find a non-K9 version of the same model, nor could I find a newer model Tahoe that was a K-9 unit. This is quite minor in my opinion so I have accepted it even though in reality, the K9 and non K9 Tahoe's in Multnomah County are the opposite, K9 unit being the newer Tahoe and non K9 being the older Tahoe.

Current WIP:

Portland Metro East County Skin Pack!

The Gresham Tahoe and Charger skins are finished, Portland skins are underway! It will feature both the new and old Portland graphics, for Tahoe, Charger and CVPI (If a new Caprice is ever released, I will also release each skin in a Caprice model.)

Edit: Question for mods, is there a way to delete my Gresham and Multnomah County threads?

Please do not post more posts in succession of each other, edit the existing one instead, I have merged your three posts.

No problem, I only did so as no one else was posting at the time, so it would not really be bumping, and to make it easier to read. I'll be sure to include everything in one post next time.

Pretty nice, like the Gresham Police.

Portland's old but still current CVPI coming up for release this evening:

Loving the Gresham skins! looking foward to the tahoe one, will you be making one for EVI's 2012 charger?

Thanks! That would not be a problem, I will look into that. I have yet to download a 2012 Charger because I'm simply working on recreating the departments of my area at the moment, East Multnomah county, but I'd be happy to do that.

No worries....look foward to it!

I think you would be great doing custom skins.

It's coming along, I've had some issues with my ISP the past few days so access to the reference photos I use was halted. This skin is looking pretty odd with the odd indentations of the doors on the 2012 Charger and GPD is moving to the Caprice AFAIK, so not only are there no reference points but there are none forth coming. I'll keep playing around with it.

Thanks ninja but I'm not that creative when it comes to thinking up designs for (fictional) police agencies. I've forced myself to learn how to skin out of frustration for a lack of these agencies in my RP game. I'm working on a few police agency skins ATM that will keep me busy for the next couple weeks, but once I've released the Portland area skins I plan on, I will be open to suggestions.

You could possibly base skins off of others.

Greetings everyone, I am releasing a skin for the Combat Shotgun based on the Hogue Less Lethal shotgun grips, real life pictured here - http://www.botachtactical.com/holeleshst.html

In game:

I am including two versions, one has the LESS LETHAL text on the stock, the other without. Reason being is that the skin is mirrored on one side, so the text is backwards on the side usually not seen in game, but I understand some people would not like this. However I stress, this side is, 90% of the time NOT shown, even in First Person view.

Skins:

Hogue w/LESS LETHAL text on stock -

Hoge WITHOUT LTL text on stock -

TO INSTALL THIS SKIN -

1. Open weapons.img in the models folder with the GTA IV tool of your choice, I use SparkIV
   
2. Open w_pumpshot.wtd for editing
   
3. Replace e_tac_700 NOT e_tac_700_s with the skin of your choice
   
4. Save/rebuild as required by your tool
   

This mod is meant to be used in conjunction with the edited WeaponInfo.xml settings I have provided in this thread to modify your Combat Shotgun into a Less Lethal shotgun.

Enjoy, feel free to reuse and modify as you see fit but you must credit me for the modification.

Thanks guys!

LOL, just saying this, the real shotgun looks like an airsoft gun!

But, anyways, yours looks beautiful!

Any updates on the 2012 Charger & Tahoe Gresham skins bud?

Any updates on the 2012 Charger & Tahoe Gresham skins bud?

I'm having to do some.. creative editing with the Charger skin to get it to look right on the 2012 Charger, because of the recessed door panels it doesn't fit right. Gresham has no 2012 Chargers so I have no point of reference for what the livery would look like. Though, after a couple weeks of break due to family business I am working on it again.

The Tahoe skin is pretty much complete, I'm just getting together a few different Tahoe templates so I can release a Tahoe skin for each of the major base Tahoe models. Which Tahoe model do you use in game btw? One of them is complete, but it's specifcally made for Cj24's Tahoe w/the Whelen Liberty. The problem is I can't find a decent handling line for it, the one made for it is no good, as the vehicle will flip if any acceleration is applied while turning.

EDIT:

Tahoe Released, optimized for BXBugs123's Tahoe:

No worries dude, thanks for the tahoe skin...looks great!

Due to a personal injury involving a fractured wrist the skin projects I'm working on have been put on hold indefinitely. jdm I will upload for you the 2012 Charger skin, what there is of it, when I am able to access my computer at home. Sorry guys, as soon as it heals I can't wait to resume work.

No stress dude i can wait til your better, your recovery is more important than this stuff :smile:

For jdmkrazy,

The 2012 Gresham Charger. I tried to do some creative editing to make it a little less plain but it didn't look good so I'm just going to give that to you as is. I'm unable to test it at the moment so if there are any errors please PM me and I'll get it fixed.

Coming next, the new Portland Police Bureau CVPI design and for my next post, I shall organize this thread, yay!
