I thought I had permission. I downloaded models that are in the unlocked section and each one has a readme saying I can redistribute them. Looking at other packs on LCPDFR these packs also include these models. These pack's credits also show the pack creator has re-skinned models that are not theirs. I thought I would be able to do the same?

Hi, Yep I have been working on the skins, handling, ELS configs etc. Please could you clarify what you mean by not uploading here. The reason I ask is I downloaded a pack of police vehicles where the description specifically says that the up-loader did not create the vehicles, just re-skinned them all to a common theme. When you say I cannot upload here how does it work: a) I can't upload to this board as it is for author's of mods to display and release their work? b) I can't upload anywhere on the forum (if I can is there a particular board to post the link in)? c) I can't upload the pack to LCPDFR.com's download section (where I got the first pack from)? d) Can I upload them to an independent file sharing service and link here on the forum, if so in which board?

So it would be skins only with people having to download all the individual vehicles and set them up?

Hello everyone, I am working on a second vehicle pack whilst I wait for replies for permission to include vehicles in the first. This pack only contains vehicles where the permission to re-distribute has been given in the readme and it doesn't need to be attained from the author before re-distribution. This pack will contain vehicles in appropriate slots for AI use and will be designed to work well with LCPD:FR, they are all low poly vehicles too. The main aim was to create a British themed pack with the liveries on vanilla GTA universe vehicles, I will do another with LCPD scheme vehicles later. I have attempted to re-create the style and they are loosely based on my local area. Let me know what you think, if there is interest (I haven't seen a pack like this before) then I will definitely finish it to a high standard and release. Please bear in mind these are very early shots, I haven't even viewed them in game yet.

Hi all, I have one pack almost ready to be released (mainly for role play) and would like to make another designed for LCPD:FR. I have a nice set of game world police cars and a brute ambulance, that are ELS and low polys. I would like some ELS low poly 'other ' vehicles, such as police vans, bike, command centers and a firetruck. They must be ones that the readme permits distribution on LCPD:FR please (or ones that you own and are happy for me to use in a pack). I would also prefer 'game world' vehicles please, such as vapid, declasse, brute etc. Once I have a good pack I would like to make a few varieties. Any suggestions please.... Cheers

Is there anyone who would like to test this pack? I have few liveries left to do then would like a few people to test it from tomorrow eve. Cheers

Cheers, that worked like a charm, I knew it must have been something I had missed as it was only occurring on the additional vehicles. Not far off making an early test release now. Just need to add a few tweaks and check the ELS configs.

Hi guys Another question please if you are able to help, when I view a model in Open IV, it all looks correct. However when I spawn the vehicle in game, it is often missing the interior textures. How is this fixed, I have missed something from a vehicle or handling line? Screenshots attached. - Jason

I have updated the stripes on police & police2. Took a few other shots of stuff during the day too. I have just noticed I need to change the wording on the fire granger too, it should be FD LC not LC FD! Replace the badges next I think and sort the LCPD transport van, then try the other bike.....

Cheers I shall do that then.

Hi, Putting them in the police group would mean you could have fire engines joining a chase couldnt it? Is it possible to create a new group? Sorry what I meant about the license plates is are they special government plates that look any different from civ cars?

Hi guys, thanks again for the replies, it is great how people are responding with what I was thinking too! TheOneHick, yes, my initial plan was to use r* agencies and vehicles, this turned to where possible. My plan is to go back through the vehicles and edit the other textures to turn them into r* world vehicles. Thank you for the offer of the bike I will have a look at it, ELS doesn't work too well with the one I have. So my plan is now: Go through the models, double check for any issues, bad placed text, spell check etc. Check the ELS config for each vehicle, they all use the default at the moment and some of the big trucks the orange lights flash half way down the vehicle. Re-badge to r* vehicles where applicable. Alter the stripes for police1, police2 and the speedo transport to follow the body work better. Possibly release a pack with darker blue coloured stripes. Possibly add livery options for the common vehicles you would see in traffic. As a personal one, release a third set with all the vehicles re-skinned as in an English batten burg design if wanted. Two questions, how do you stop emerg1 to 7 spawning in traffic when you drive them and how license plates work on emergency vehicles, is there anything specific about them? Thank you guys.

Cheers guys, can't believe I missed "tactics" on the truck!

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Yes after using them in game and seeing them driving around I think they would look better to follow the bodywork of the vehicle. I didn't initially do it as: a) Straights lines where much quicker! b) Wasn't sure if an agency would care or if they would just sticker them up? c) Wanted to ensure both sides of the vehicle matched, diagonal lines would have been harder to match up. I shall give it ago!

Hi everyone, Fairly new to re-skinning vehicles for GTA IV. However I think I have a half decent pack of vehicles, do you think it is worth continuing with the pack and uploading it to here? Let me know what you think, I have gone for a simple scheme that is consistent across the vehicles whilst keeping them with how I would envisage LCPD and FDLC. I have attached screenshots of the vehicles and the descriptions are as below: GTA IV - Tried to keep this to the main vehicles people would need. police = marked LCPD general patrol car police2 = marked LCPD patrol car polpat = marked LCPD grainger noose = marked bravado, for LCPD Highway patrol fbi = unmarked bravado, could be FIB or LCPD pstockade = LCPD Special Tactics and Weapons van nstockade = LCPD STAW command and control truck firetruk = replacement ELS firetruk ambulance = replacement ELS ambulance GTA IV tBoGT - additional vehicles that are nice to have! police3 = unmarked grainger, for LCPD or FIB police4 = marked k-9 grainger policeb = LCPD marked police bike policew = LCPD transport van apc = LCPD riot control van Additional vehicles for ELS slots Emerg1 to 7, not essential but fun to use, my thoughts would these would be more useful for the role playing community. 1 = FDLC Rescue Truck 2 = FDLC Ladder Truck 3 = FDLC Command Truck 4 = FDLC Chief Jeep 5 = FDLC Mobile Hospital 6 = FIB Command Centre 7 = Mett Coroners Van Sorry, some of the pics have not come out well, they are much darker than what they were in GTA!
