Post this in Requests too.

 

Main request thread was closed. What thread am I looking for? I can't seem to find it after a quick search.

 

You know you want some cash there buddy! Think of all the MLP merch!

We have a whole section for requests now - http://www.lcpdfr.com/forum/802-suggestions-requests/ !

 

Hmm... I never used zmod (only 3ds max, and I failed horribly) but I might give it a try. Does anybody want to send me original police2?

Did Caine unlock his uv-mapped merit? 

 

e: oh he did not.

 

e2: Okay I just tried to start this and all my shit crashed and my computer had an immense hissyfit. This is not a good sign... 

 

e3: can you explain what else you want added to the livery other than the numberplate? Do you want the black trim uv mapped or not?

Hey, not good to hear yer compy is doing that! But yes, a lot of people complained that the trim was not mapped, and should have been. Make it so!!! Please feel free to PM me if you have any other suggestions. Subtlety is key. GO EKALB GO!!!!

What do you mean about the side door moulds?

What do you mean about the side door moulds? 

 

So seen here:

 

 

The trim line just below the text on the doors, that should be mapped OVER and included. It should be optional if the person wants it colored over or not. If we had an all-white undercover, the trim would be white as well. Make sense? This way, if a logo is there it is not covered over intentionally, like below:

 

 

Real world instance:

 

Only other two thoughts, Have the license plate map to the same size as the Cruiser's license plate for easy changing? And dual spotlights. And keep the wheel lug covers!!

Hm well I'm pretty much starting from scratch and uv-mapping the original police merit to match Caine's template. Any changes he made won't be present in what I do.

That is great to hear. I think this was a long time coming! So long as you can make it with a plate, and cover that trim, we're good in my book.

That's great! Those door moulds were horrible!

Ekalb, delicious screenshots of progress are required!

I've done one side so far then I had to go to work so it's only about 20% done. I should be able to get into it a bit further today. 

 

Okay here's this

'>

 

Both sides + top now done

'>

 

What do you want me to do with the spoiler? I think Caine removed it from his but I can texture it maybe just beyond where the boottop texture is to keep it in line with Abraxas' skin pack. 

 

Main body exterior all done:

'>

 

There's still a few things to do before I'd call it finished though.

Amazing!

Awesome! Finally the Merit can live up to the standards of the other Vanilla vehicle choices we have available.

Fantastic work! I say ditch the spoiler if you can, it'll likely be easier for you to texture it. Save yourself the headache! Keep it up!

 

Maybe have the spotlight as a rotating extra rather than the spoiler? And FYI, Abraxas' source PSD files, there's more choices with working plates that you can adjust from the Buffalo, not the Cruiser.

 

Anyways can't wait to see it complete!

 

EDIT: To clarify, you're using police2? The less civilian the better.

Edited November 21, 201312 yr by DLer

The spotlight as an extra? Hm okay, odd choice though. 

 

And yes, it was originally police2. 

 

Livery mapped + dirt map: '>

 

 

Template if you maybe want to do some textures for me to release with it;

 

'>

 

 

And now i'm having a whole host of trouble trying to get it ingame! Whoopie! 

Edited November 22, 201312 yr by Ekalb

Ekalb, keep up the good work! There's some bucks involved so don't get discouraged! And lastly, can we get that front plate moved to the center and straightened? Feel free to say no to my obsessiveness.

 

In the meantime, here's what I've been up to using my new computer:

 

 

 

Abraxas' source files are an incredible goldmine. Been working on custom plates all week. More to come...

I seem to be hijacking your own thread with pics of my stuff...

 

This modification does work with GTA IV (original) and EFLC versions.

I can't wait! It looks amazing!
