Hi, I'm relatively new to modding GTA. So far I've modded things like popcycles.dat and relationships.dat with success. But now I wanted to add sheriff patrolling around in Davis because that is their only station inside Los Santos. I would think that since sheriff's departments usually have headquarters in cities, especially in county seats, you would see sheriff's deputies around Davis station on their way to patrol the county or something. It is also my understanding that Davis is based on Compton and I know Los Angeles Sheriff's Department has contract with that city after latter disbanded its own police department so kind of another reason to add sheriff's deputies in Davis.

 

Is there a script somewhere in a RPF that controls the spawning of sheriff peds or jurisdiction?

you can edit the popcyle.dat (I think)

 

download cops back on the beat and look at the files.

This currently isn't possible without full .ymt editing. That is assuming the spawning goes this in depth with location. The only way as of now is by script.

RDE uses modified popgroups, popcycle, pedmodelsets, and scenario files to add LSSD vehicles to traffic in several areas around LS, and peds around the Davis station. The one thing so far that resists the change are the vehicles that are set to spawn on the map, and as Lundy said, a script is used to replace those vehicles (another script also controls wanted spawning of cops in general which allows LSSD to spawn then, too).

 

Apparently, the creator of the Real LA Architecture mod seems to have been able to change what vehicles spawn, but for some reason his results haven't been reproduced.

Okay, thanks. What does RDE stand for? I will look that up.

 

Nevermind: Just found it. Realism Dispatch Enhanced. I've come across that mod before. Will check it out. Thanks!
