The Loot

Use Use INI settings like these. [FBI] Active = true Vehicle = FBI Ped = m_m_fbi Hats = 0 Response = 0 NumPeds = 2 Chances = 1 [NOOSE] Active = true Vehicle = NOOSE Ped = M_Y_SWAT Hats = 0 Response = 0 NumPeds = 2 Chances = 1 If you want a vehicle to have the local police model peds to spawn in it, just use "COP" for ped.

An API is coming in the future, so it should be a bit easier to make mods work with LCPDFR. New features are probably planned for the mod proper, too, so who knows what we'll see.

For the taxi question: you could release both versions, and just let people decide which they want.It is a bit noticeable in the second picture, but it wouldn't bother me much.

Quick Questions: i7 3820 3.6Ghz, 660ti 2gb, CX750 Power?

I'd be nice if they could be set as targets like FR does with peds during pursuits so the AI cops would help out. That's the annoying thing about some of the companion mods that add new events.

If you mean the AI moving over for you when driving, I think it's hard-coded. I know there's another police mod in the works out there that made a new script to make them smartly drive to the side of the lanes when ANY vehicle with sirens comes, including AI driven ones. If you mean the traffic stop function, they're probably working on something for RC3, but I wouldn't expect something revolutionary. And if you mean disabling the game spawned ambulances and cleaning up the FR spawned ambulances, you can use something like the coroner mod using ambulances and medics.

Peeked at the GPM thread, and it looks and sounds great. ELS has always had its deal breaking glitches that I don't want to bother with. Just the ability to add regular lights beyond the game's limits, especially without depending on the car modder to do the work, is all I need, and this would do nicely.

Looking forward to both the Washington and Pinnacle stuff. And on the topic of the Pinnacle, would you be willing to make a livery based on Caine's Police Cruiser Blue/White old-style livery for it? And one for F5544's Landstalker would be appreciated, also. I like the Blue/White style, even if it's out dated.

They have to, as I have a timecyc tweak that I downloaded, but the guy decided to remove coronas during daylight hours. He made an earlier version with them restored, but did not do it for the latest. I figured I could tweak it myself without waiting for a reply from them, since they haven't posted on it in a month.

Does anyone know which value in timecyc controls the size of emergency light coronas?

Sounds good! Have you taken a look at allowing us to use it on peds in vehicles?

You'll need to look in cargrp.dat.

If you remove burrito2 from the popcycle group it's in and add it to the cop popcycle group, it should stop spawning elsewhere, but it won't count as a cop car since it's not in a police slot.

That Washington Taxi is very snazzy! I just wish there was a way to make it Roman's second cab instead of a Cavalcade, but unlike his first car, it's not a separate Cavalcade. Does make me wish for a LCPD Vector Washington, though.

May want to remove that link, dakotag. It's against the rules to provide links to R*s unmodified files.

Editing the popcycle.dat file can do that. Lower the PercCopCars value for cars, and PercCopPed for officers on foot. You have to do it for every zone and every time period, so it might be better to use this mod: "Less Cops Around Liberty City". I 'm also hoping for an option to enable the LCPD:FR database in added vehicles using a method like that, too.

Hmm, I think it looks a bit better with the crest on the door.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Might as well keep it to the planned functions instead.

I was hoping for it as a replacement for the towing option for emergency vehicles, so instead of towing at all, a unit would be sent to retrieve it. Otherwise, might as well keep it simple like the default plan. Either way works fine in the end.

All sounds good there, though disappointed that non-EFLC won't get any heli pickup. Maybe we could have the Annihilator come if the Skylift isn't available? Not a big loss since you mention there would be times it wouldn't work anyways. As for the emergency idea, it all depends on how good the script is at checking vehicles. I'd be great to have the specific ped be dropped off by another of the same type of vehicle (e.g. a cop car drops a cop off to drive away in a cop car, an ambulance drops off a medic to take an ambulance, firetruck for firetruck, or maybe just a cop car to drop all of them off.) Just an optional suggestion, though. Another Q: The Ambulance can be towed, and it's about the same length as the Packer and Biff, which can't. Would it be possible to change that? Sometimes those trucks can't drive to save their lives and end up flipping.
