Ekalb, one very important suggestion would be to update all of your Vapid models to the enhanced version, including the Arjent and Liberty-styles, and the older slicktop model, though the new one could just replace that outright. If you could also take some of the enhancements from the new slicktop (divider, plates, grill, badges, additional or replacement rambar).

 

Oh, and speaking of badges. Abraxas released some new badge textures in his new pack that are supposed to remove the Vapid lettering on the back, but it doesn't have any effect. Must be part of some other texture I can't locate, or part of the model itself.

You always can export to open formats by OpenIV and then rename badges textures and import whole open format pack. Then your badges should work. Same with lights etc.Screenshots of Vapid in my pack was done with Ekalb's enchanced Vapid. Too bad that mine crashes every time I shoot lights (not lightbar).

I can't believe I have missed these vehicles...

I don't know why this is and I really really want to fix it :(

 

 

The Loot: Which model are you using? I may have accidentally exported it with textures inside, so any small textures are difficult to edit. I can fix it and re-upload if you let me know. 

 

 

 

edit: Did I just fix it...?  No I did not.     Okay I think it's fixed! Updates for all Vapid Cruiser platform vehicles incoming!

 

F*#$!!!!!!!!! I've tried everything I can think of;

Restoring the original lights

Adding collisions to the lights

Re-arranging the lights in the hierarchy

 

Yet I still can't work out what's going on here.

I'm using the latest version of the Enhanced Vapid. The word "Vapid" on the back stays even when it's removed from the badge texture. Same thing happens with your Liberty Vapid, and I'm assuming the other two as well (though I don't have those installed).

Updates have been released to the Enhanced Vapid Cruiser (Vector)!

 

(I hope) I have fixed the headlight-shooting-CTD error! (with help from KevinDV)

The Loot: I tried the badge-less textures from Abraxas with this new model and they work fine. Let me know if there are further issues

Oh man, I hope it works now. You are my hero :D

Great, on both issues! Will download when available.

 

Nice one. Will download ASAP.

Yeah cheers, let me know if the issues are actually fixed or if it's just doing that thing where it only works for me. 

Hey, those red/blue indicators, how did you map them for strobes mod?

The light parts are just attached to indicator_rr_l0 and indicator_lr_l0

 

Testing the latest version of EVCS for Grady: (not my vehicles but I set up the lights) 

 

 

 

 

Hoping to try to do up some EVCS vehicles too with inspiration from GTAV models...

It's about time I brought this up in my own thread;

 

 

Declasse Merit Police Patrol

Uv-Mapped from scratch to match Lt. Caine's original template (so Abraxas' vdh texture pack will work well enough)

Added license plate to livery (will include versions with non-mapped plates so people don't have to edit original textures at all)

 

Are there any other particular variants of this people would like to see? The model will be released unlocked as I normally do so if I don't release other variants or don't include particular changes you're welcome to try them yourself. 

Finally no those annoying black stripes on doors? That's awesome! The car itself is brilliant, like all yours :D Thanks a lot!

If you could make that traffic bar work, it'd be even more amazing.

Yes! Only two things was the black molding and the advisory lights as indicators. I'm pretty sure the blinkers and tail lights are separate, unlike the old Vapid (are Enhanced Liberty and Slicktop versions ever coming?), so yeah, those two things and that car is golden.

 

Maybe eventually I can get a new Gfx card so I can enjoy some more stable GTAIV cop action. GTAV is great, but I miss being the law.

4 rep points on one pic! I knew there was demand for that car. Glad to see it in production man.

-snip-

So you can use them with the strobes mod? Sweet. Isn't it a bit awkward though to have a red turn signal or a blue turn signal?

Okay so at this stage I will release these versions altogether:

 

1. Ekalb Enhanced - UV mapped vehicle + uv numberplates + indicator traffic bar

2. Original plates + no indicator traffic bar

3. Original plates + indicator traffic bar

4. Slicktop with original plates

5. Slicktop with UV-mapped plates 

 

Slicktop will probably just have a simple light setup like the default fbi buffalo but I might do the pushbar and spoiler as random extras. I don't think I'll do an internal traffic advisor like my slicktop Vapid or Buffalo S/M unless people want it.

I want the advisor on the slicktop. I love it in the Vapid. By the way, where can I find the version in post #12 of this thread?

 

Also, visor lights would be much nicer than grill lights. They break too easily.
