All you have to do is change the name of the Agency, It doesn't have to be named Los Santos Police Department. You change the name of the agency and the name of the loadouts. You can change the shortname also.

Like literally, just change the name. easy as 123

No you save it as the xml it is. So basically Ill chop it up for you. If you have Jurisdictions+ then you will have an agency that patrols an assigned area(maps are included for what agency is for what area). If you want LSPD's area to not be patrolled by "agency_lspd" then you can change the name to, as example, New York Police Department inside of the file. You can change the shortname to NYPD, and you can change the name of the loadout to New York Patrol Units. Then you can add your New York police vehicles to that agencies file. This is not creating a custom agency, just altering one that is already there. 

 

If you do not have Jurisdictions+ same applies really. As long as you are not changing the scriptname, and messing with other parts other then <Name> and <Shortname> then you shall be good.

You can even change the name of the file. Agency_lspd to Agency_nypd

And if you really want a custom agency, then copy Agency_lspd, paste is somewhere else, change the name of the file, and paste is back, then do exactly as I told you above in the first paragraph, along with changing the scriptname. So if you change the scriptname to <scriptname>nypd</scriptname> then you have created a custom agency. You now have to add that agencies scriptnames into the backup.xml, duty_selection.xml, and stations.xml in lspdfr>data.

 

If you add nypd to the lossantoscity region in the backup.xml, then those units will patrol and respond in that region. 

If you wanna know what region that covers you look in the regions.xml

And if those zones are jibberish to you then refer to this fileZones reference.txt

And if you wanna know where those zones are here you go

If you decide to move zones around make sure you delete it from where you moved it from or its going to be messy.

 

Duty_selection.xml is what you see when at a station going on duty, choosing cars and outfits. if the agency (nypd) is in <Peds> then you will see the option to choose from that agency when going on duty. If its in <vehicles> then diddo. the vehicle desciptions is what the game will name the cars as when choosing. name then whatever, just make sure whatever vehicle you add to the agency of nypd has a description here. Specify which agency the vehicle is for by placing the scriptname in agencyref.

 

The stations file determines which peds and vehicles will be parked and standing around the stations, add the scriptname to wherever should be placed.

 

Then you have done it. Now if you want custom NYPD outfits then you need to install them. Find out where they are in the closet at your apartment and write down the numbers of the locations. example is ID 3 is shirts, drawable is what shirt "54" and the texture of the shirt "2". Then copy outfits_lspd, copy it, change the name, paste it back, trim it down a bit Im sure you wont have 10 outfits. Paste the numbers in that you wrote down and change the names up.

 

Sciptname is what you will refer to in the agency file
