I was very happy that someone has introduced the idea of a holstering & unholstering sound system. However, I was a bit unsatisfied with the actual audio itself as it didn't quite sound right to me. I grabbed an actual Safariland SLS/ALS holster I had lying around, and I re-recorded the audio sounds.

Included:
- Replacement Audio (holster & unholster audio)

Notes:
- This file only contains .wav files of the holster sounds. Full installation will require you to install the original plugin.
- This audio is meant for a modeled holster with a retention hood. If needed, I can release a version in the future without the hood snapping open and closed.
- Installation guide included in the download file (backup files NOT included, be sure to backup your files prior to installation!)
 

Hey folks!  I am fairly new to the LSPDFR game and community, and one of my favourite (and most frustrating, sometimes!) parts of the game is all the mods/scripts/plug-ins/etc that you can add, to build the game into what you want it to be.  I know I have benifited a lot from so many of the mods out there, figured it was about time for me to contribute back.......at least in some small way.  
 
Over the past few weeks, I have been working with GIMP a bit - getting more comfortable with making my own changes to put into my game.  One change I made was coming up with an actual ProLaser 4 LIDAR icon to put into the vanilla GTAV weapon wheel HUD - replacing the "Vintage Pistol" icon.  This is meant to go along with Opus49's amazing Lidar gun script.
 
I created 3 variants to choose from - see the photos for what they look like on the in-game HUD.  The first is a "realistic" coloured icon - basically a stock photo of a ProLaser 4, that I scaled down and then pasted into the hud.ytd file.  Not completely happy with that one - looks great in GIMP and on the OpenIV file, but maybe the game itself can't render photo-quality well??  The second is "semi-realistic" - a side view of the PL4, made into grey-scale line drawing.  The final option is a GTAV "cartoon" style - matching the style of the other vanilla icons.  I am happy with how both of those turned out.  Pick whichever one works best for you!
 
If you have followed the suggested install for the Lidar gun script, and are using it in the "Vintage Pistol" slot, then you can just drop into OpenIV the "weapons_dlc_bb" I have included for each variant (install path below).  If you chose to replace a different weapon slot, I have also included the individual icon versions - but you are on your own for editing the file to where you need it to go!
 
My first upload, so go easy on me, lol.  Any problems, please let me know.  This is pretty basic stuff, I know......but it was a pain the arse to do!  Honestly not sure if anyone else is even interested, but I figured if I could save someone else the effort, why not?
 
By the way, if anyone knows how to edit the actual text that comes up with the Weapon Wheel, please let me know!  Would love to change "Vintage Pistol" to "LIDAR"......
