Hi all, Just wanted to ask if there is a way anyone knows of changing how the prisoner transport in LCPD:FR responds. Wagons or transport vehicles rarely respond code 3, and I'm wondering if there is a way to have the vehicle show up without the lights/siren running. Makes things a little nicer from a realism perspective. Sorry if this is the wrong forum section. I think I've got it right though...

**Disclaimer. I'm speaking in Canadian terms here. The concept is probably same for the U.S., but the terms may be different** Court imposed conditions are a big thing I'd like to see added, both as callotus to the game, and to the computer, as it's something that comes up quite often in the real world but not at all at this point in LCPD:FR. A conviction for assault/possession/PPT (possession for the purpose of traffiking)/etc will often result in conditions that prevent the subject from possessing things like weapons, drug paraphernalia (rock pipes, rigs, etc.) "No-go" conditions imposed by the courts are also very common, ie. subject is not allowed back at a certain store, place of business, residence, etc. A no-go will often be issued for a certain area, a north/east/south/west street boundary being given, and they are forbidden from going inside that particular area. Curfews are often issues as well (Must be indoors @ place of residence between the hours of 2200-0700, etc.) Arrests for breach of conditions are quite common and result in a swift trip back to jail. Warrant Information : Warrant Type : Bench Warrant (An arrest warrant for a defendant who has been discharged on bail or subsequently failed to appear in court) Priors Information : Priors : Convicted of Petty Theft <-in here, depending on how you lay this particular screen out Ticket Information : Tickets : Failure to yield Current Standing : Warrant For Arrest : Bench Warrant Currently on Probation : PBJ - Petty Theft <- in here somewhere as well Not quite sure how you want to work those lines into your particular MDT FinKone but, those things are listed. I also don't know how how in depth you're going, but the MDT's up here also have a street map (perhaps there's some way to tie into the game's menu map?). Might be a pipe dream, but would be very cool.

That is absolutely excellent. I was out on a ride along a few weeks back with a K-9 unit member. We lit up someone on one end of a bridge for no rear license plate. Reds and blues, 45kph all the way across a fairly long bridge, all the way into the downtown core. Went two more blocks before they finally had to stop at a red light at which point we bolted out of the car and banged on the windows to let them know we were trying to pull them over. Excuse? Tourists, who "Didnt know what red and blue lights meant". Unreal.

I've been through a few reinstalls already between when I first noticed the issue and now. Plus, I'm running two other vehicles that are working just fine. It's not an install issue. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi all, So I've got Tim98's Leftwood Sheriff Slicktop installed as I wanted an option for an unmarked car in my game. Love the car, looks fantastic, etc. but I'm having a problem with the ELS. The lights work fine, but for some reason look like they are rotated 45 degrees out of position. I've attached the text I'm using for the ELS config file (which I did my best to update from ELS 7 to ELS 8 spec) as well as a screenshot so you can see what I mean. Would love to get this car working. Its a great model and the lights are in the right order/arrangement, etc. they just need to be rotated 45 degrees :P Any help would be great. // VEHICLE CONFIGURATION FILE (ELS V7.0) // DESCRIPTION: Default configuration // AUTHOR: N/A // NOTES: N/A [ MISC ] Slicktop = on LstgActivationType = default EnableArrowBoard = off AllowTakedowns = on UseCoronaTakedowns = off [ CRUISE ] DisableAtLstg3 = off UseExtra1 = on UseExtra2 = off UseExtra3 = off UseExtra4 = on [ SOUNDS ] HRN_Type = norm HRN_SrnToneForMan2 = yelp SRN_DefaultMode = stby SRN_ResetSrnTone = on SRN_AllowToneYelp = on SRN_AllowToneAlt1 = on SRN_AllowToneAlt2 = on [ CORONAS ] WigWags = off CornerStrobes = off [ WRNL ] Type = led UseScnNotTkd = off ForcePatForLstg = on PatId_Lstg3 = 00 [ PRML ] Type = leds ForcePatForLstg = off PatId_Lstg2 = 0 PatId_Lstg3 = 0 ExpressModeRandPat = off ForcePatForSrnTones = off PatId_Yelp = 0 PatId_Alt1 = 0 PatId_Alt2 = 0 [ SECL ] Type = drct DisableAtLstg3 = off ForcePatForLstg = off PatId_Lstg1 = 04 PatId_Lstg2 = 04 PatId_Lstg3 = 04 [ ENV_LIGHT_COLORS ] Extra_1 = red Extra_2 = red Extra_3 = blue Extra_4 = blue Extra_5 = white Extra_6 = white Extra_7 = amber Extra_8 = amber Extra_9 = amber [ ENV_LIGHT_POS ] Slicktop = yes Extra_1 = -3.5, 0.0, 1.8 Extra_2 = -0.5, 0.0, 1.8 Extra_3 = 0.5, 0.0, 1.8 Extra_4 = 3.5, 0.0, 1.8 Extra_5 = -0.5, 3.25, 0.2 Extra_6 = 0.5, 3.25, 0.2 Extra_7 = -1.0, -1.9, 1.0 Extra_8 = 1.03, -1.9, 1.0 Extra_9 = 1.0, -1.9, 1.0

All good now. Did a full reinstall and that seemed to fix any issues. Runs like a dream now :)

For those who have not seen... A couple years ago, a two season documentary series was produced following officers from the Vancouver Police BET (Beat Enforcement Team), the squads that patrol what is known as Vancouver's Downtown East Side, a 16 square block area that comprises more than half the crime in all of Vancouver and has the highest HIV positive rate per capita of anywhere in the developed world. The area is an absolute haven for drugs, gangs and a variety of other criminal elements and has been a chronic problem in an otherwise beautiful city for years. The series is absolutely awesome, and I blew through all the episodes when I first found it a year or two ago. Season 1 is (mostly, with some exceptions) available on Youtube, but I've finally found someone who has posted season 2, which in my opinion is even better than the first. I'm trying my hardest to find the episodes on DVD or Bluray somewhere but, for now, online is the best I can come up with. If you want to watch seriously in depth look at policing, what it's like to work the front lines and deal with this stuff on a day to day basis, this is an absolute must-watch. Just wanted to post it here for your enjoyment. Videos can be found here -> http://www.dailymotion.com/scottkensai News release on season 2 here-> http://metronews.ca/news/vancouver/329128/vancouver-docu-series-the-beat-back-for-second-season/ For season one, search "The Beat VPD" on Youtube. Enjoy :)

Hi all, So after some fighting, some reinstalling, and some late evenings, I finally have upgraded to LCPDFR 1.0d, the mods I want, and the cars I want (mostly) and it's all running buttery smooth. It's glorious! I do however have one issue. I installed this Charger ('?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>) and added a custom skin I made. Works beautifully, ELS and all. I've now added a second charger () custom skinned it, placed it in the game, works great! No crashes. Here's the weird bit: 1) the ELS on the first charger, works flawlessly without putting it's ELS ini file into the game's ELS folder/linking it to SLOTCONTROL, etc. Nothing required. I didn't drop a single file in, and it works perfectly. 2) The second Charger however, has it's lights positioned incorrectly. They're there, and functional, but in the wrong places. I put it's ELS cfg file in the ELS game folder, did the conversion from ELS7 to ELS8, and no change. They are still in the exact same spot. 3) As a note, I DID change the name of the wft and wtd files for the second charger from "fbi.wft" and "fbi.wtd" to "police2.wft" and "police2.wft" so that they would show up as I wanted them in the game. My question is, firstly, why does the first car not require any mods to the ELS folder whatsoever and yet still works fine? Secondly, why does placing the correct file into my ELS folder not help the second car, and lastly, could the problem be stemming from the changes I made to the filenames? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Cheers PS. For those interested, I've attached a few pics below of my handiwork. I took a Vancouver Police skin that was made for a model that is no longer available, and adapted it to work with the Redondo Charger. I also used the stock skins to create Vancouver Police uniforms. For those looking closely, NO the lightbars are not correct, they should be Federal Signal Valor's but, I don't know how to model, I just know how to Photoshop :P Also, I didn't know how to get rid of the chest badges on the uniforms (no such thing here in Vancouver), so I just clone brushed shirt/jacket pattern over top of them to hide them. I'm not overly picky so I'm happy with how its all looking so far :)
