Yes, you need to make a new model for it and then use the <ShieldModel> tag in the Agency XML. The new model you set will then be used for that Agency instead of the default one. If you don't know how to do this, I'm sure someone will make one eventually.

We have released a minor update to LSPDFR 0.4.2 to fix a couple of issues which have been reported to us. You can download this, and see the change notes, here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/7792-lspd-first-response/

Are you using police car mods?

Thanks for letting us know this. We fixed a couple of issues with the walk styles in 0.4.2 but this one specific to only the Cop one has slipped the net.

We think most plugins should be fine.

20 June, 2019 - We have released a minor update (Build 7110) for LSPDFR 0.4.2 to fix a couple of issues that have been reported to us. We're happy to announce that the latest update of LSPDFR, version 0.4.2, is now available. LSPDFR 0.4.2 brings with it a couple of snazzy new features including protective ballistic shields and the ability to flash your police badge. Aside from this, 0.4.2 not only fixes a number of bugs that have been reported, but also introduces sweeping changes and improvements to the LSPDFR 0.4 API, giving plugin developers more access and power than ever. Additionally, we've made a massive improvement to the Pause Menu which, in something of a first for a GTA mod, now lets you seamlessly configure your LSPDFR keybinds in-game, using the same system as the game itself. LSPDFR 0.4.2, along with full release notes, can be found here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/7792-lspd-first-response Please also see our updated Wiki articles detailing some of the new features in LSPDFR 0.4.2: https://www.lcpdfr.com/wiki/lspdfr/04/features/

Updated for LSPDFR 0.4.2.

I will look into this further as what you describe sounds like a problem.

If you are talking about during a pursuit, it might be easier to just set Lethal Force to "Forced On" in the Pursuit Menu. https://www.lcpdfr.com/wiki/lspdfr/04/features/pursuits/

This sounds interesting, but your links are broken?

In the wise words of @LMS, if you have a bad config, sooner or later something is going to go wrong. Coincidentally this was probably one of the number one complaints about 0.3, we toned it down for 0.4 as such.

The files for this are in 'lspdfr\audio\scanner\RESIDENT' DISPATCH_INTRO_01 DISPATCH_INTRO_02

As said above, we don't support pirated copies of GTA V.

Hot off the release of LSPDFR 0.4 a couple of months ago, we're upping the ante with another update which brings not only sweeping improvements to the LSPDFR 0.4 API, but also some unique features which have long been requested. Originally, the plan was merely to release 0.4.2 as a quick follow-up to 0.4 and 0.4.1 - just simple fixes and changes, plus the API improvements to help developers make the most of 0.4. Necessary changes, but not really cool enough, right? So, with that in mind we took a little time to dig back into the archives of LSPDFR and revisit some of our old concepts and ideas. Now, while some of these are actually in the mod - they're most likely either tucked away as 'easter eggs' or just disabled because they weren't quite right. If you're a connoisseur of traffic stops, for example, you might've noticed that occasionally the unexpected and oh so demoralizing experience of pulling over a federal agent hits you right in the feels as they arrogantly flash their shiny badge, tell you where to stick your comparatively less shiny badge, and drive off. (If you haven't seen this before, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNOxZR2ak0M) Originally the plan was to add this as a feature for players to use, but it just didn't quite fit in with 0.3, and we had some trouble with the animation not being quite as fluid as we'd like. That was then, though, and given that you now play as your own character both on and off duty, we thought it'd be a bit of a must-have now, so we've tidied it up and are introducing it as a player action in 0.4.2. With one quick glance at the shimmering shield, her problems are suddenly your problems. (Note, a custom badge model is shown instead of the default FIB one - you will be able to define custom models to use on a per-agency basis) Now, not only does this look exceedingly awesome, but it serves a practical purpose too. Available both on and off-duty, showing your badge will clear any wanted level and may also instill the fear of the law in nearby citizens, potentially de-escalating the otherwise unavoidable confrontations that flare when you walk around Mirror Park without the latest iFruit phone, for example! Of course, that's not all. Continuing with the idea of adding things that are just generally cool, we know that people have wanted a ballistic shield feature in LSPDFR for quite some time. Sure, you can spawn one with a trainer or download another mod, but it's just not quite the same is it? We thought it'd be particularly sweet to have it at your fingertips instead, fully integrated with LSPDFR, ready to kick some butt. As if being Frank Tenpenny isn't cool enough... Our ballistic shield, accessed from the Interaction Menu, uses our new animation system in 0.4.2 which we think looks absolutely gorgeous. There's also the freedom to switch between Stealth and Action mode which will vary your pose accordingly, compatibility with most weapons and the potential for future AI support. Oh yeah, did we mention you can actually arrest people at gunpoint while holding a freaking shield?! Keep your eyes open for LSPDFR 0.4.2, coming soon.

Have you tried creating preset characters? You can use custom ped models there, although you might wish to consider using custom outfits instead of custom ped models. We are 'over the pond' too! And I think 0.4 is actually quite simple. If you haven't, give this a read: https://www.lcpdfr.com/wiki/lspdfr/04/features/characters/

Nope, it's actually a little easter egg in LSPDFR. Has been in since 0.3. To answer your question, this was something we had thought about doing with the 0.4 character system but didn't quite have the time to do.

I will take a look.
