I doubt anyone in China can even afford anything to play BF4 on.

Input lag maybe? Just play around with the game a while, you'll get used to the controls at some point.

The illumination mod seems to use corona's and it mentions that the LED lighting needs a lot of work. My idea focuses solely around LED lights and nothing else, without the use of corona's. Also, he's developing a script, whereas I plan to release some sort of Non-ELS LED lightbar for modelers to use. If Sam never manages to complete the LED side of the script, I'll set my idea into motion. Thanks to all you guys for the advice!

Well I'd sure love to beat Sam to it lol. Of course, if he really did work on such a script. Usually something of that sort would appear on the home page, yet I never heard of it.

Hold on to your hair Kadu, this is just a concept. I don't even know if i'm actually gonna make this script yet.

Of course it won't have nearly as many as functions as ELS (or maybe it will..), but more features can only mean more bugs, especially for a heavily modded 6 year old game. So anyway, the situation we have now is basically indicator vs LED lighting, what would you rather have on your vehicle (not AI vehicles)? We can disable AI from using the script altogether, so it only works for you, and then its up to you whether you want indicators or lights. Personally I'd rather have the lights. I've experimented with the F5544's landstalker and I don't see much of an orange glow around the lights, it's hardly a nuisance. If I can make this at least half-decent I'd be happy, and I'm sure others would be as well, as this is much needed.

Speed bumps you say? I'd sure love that as I don't think GTA actually has any by default, and are you gonna make this using a trainer? If so, thats probably not a good idea, just saying. Also, are you just editing the map, or actually changing AI?

Ekalb, I see what you mean. However, i'm pretty sure we can somehow tweak the strobes script, or get a pro like julionib in in this. Can't imagine it'd be too hard to fix this if you're in the know how, and I believe you can prevent AI from using the script by tweaking the config file. For the glow around the indicators, we could remove the glow altogether and replace it via a script. Mustu, yeah it'd probably clash but I'm sure if someone with the indicator mod would want something like this they'd just remove the indicator script. I myself will attempt to learn some coding and see if we can fix this however. One things for sure, if we're actually gonna go through this it'd be a shit ton of work. Totally worth it though IMO.

Damn, crashes every 10 minutes!? Like Ineseri, use a commandline.

Hmm.. I'm not very experienced in Zmodeler (I started modeling yesterday), but here's my idea: Get a ordinary lightbar, take out the lights and replace them with indicators. There are two sets of these indicators, one set blue, the other red. So half of the lightbar has blue 'indicators', the other half red 'indicators'. Now leave the rest to the script ;)

So then it would work? I'd love to get more developers aware of this, I mean, LCPDFR has over 100,000 users, right? So this could be pretty beneficial to a lot of people.

So, after playing around with F5544's police Landstalker with the Strobes mod by Kit, I noticed this little bar at the back of the roof had lights flashing on and off. I'm guessing this is because the lights on the bar are classified as indicators, so they flashed in accordance with the Strobes mod. Now, if we were to change the color the lights on the bar to, say, blue and red and of course 'split' the bar in half so the bar has both a blue lit side and red lit side, it would look like LED lights, without the use of ELS. I'd like someone with Zmodeler experience to confirm whether this is possible or not, and if it is possible, this idea should be exploited so more people make their models to work in this way. Long post, huh?

lol.

Just use Independence FM if you wanna listen to your own stuff.

Use OpenIV and open look through the files in this directory - GTA IV/pc/textures/ Don't know which files in particular have what you're looking for but you can try looking through 'fxprotex.wtd'.

If I press ctrl+n it tells me that NOOSE is coming.. doesn't mention any choppers.

If anyone does have a drop you should try the 'large address aware' application, it can decrease fps drops (but of course it depends from person to person).

Am I the only one here who's LCPDFR works properly?

Whatever the case it's best not to get our hopes up too high.

Don't forget the guy said 'one day', I'm guessing this day is gonna be long after GTA V releases for PC, so by that time we'll already have ourselves occupied with other stuff.

The multiplayer function is great, but they focus WAY too much on it. Sure its nice to play with a friend every now and then, but now online gaming practically dominates the actual game, leaving very little enjoyability to be found in single player.

No problems at all. Callouts work fine, random events are fine. I used the manual install btw.

Why not check the config file??

Using manual install makes me feel like a boss :D
