GTA 5 Jedi Master

Hey brother, here is my train of though: Wait until you get into a specialized unit before getting a tattoo that specific. For example, Swat, Sniper, Special Ops or whatever it is called in your department/agency. That is something that is above and beyond special and meaningful in my department. There are a TON of cops out there, not a ton of specialized unit members. In my neck of the woods a tat like Swat or any of the others is earned and marks you as an elite member! Kinda like a biker clubs rocker or "colors" on their leather. After all, Law Enforcement is the largest "Gang" in the world! Just my 2 cents!

The ELS 7 update is truly an erotic idea! But what I am curious about is the infamous Lt. C. going to be busting out some new vehicle models as well? I did notice in the video NB posted that familiar site of other emergency vehicles with various lights on their light bars illuminated while driving normally. I DO HAVE FAITH that bug will be a thing of the past in V7. I CANNOT WAIT, Lieutenant! After this you will be MAJOR or CAPTAIN Caine! A promotion will be in order for sure.

Hell man, I'll slap the green arrow just for the future help you gave me with Zmod! Don't know if it helps the OP or not, but It helped me. Thanks man!

GOD DAMNED IT!!!!! I gave up guys....after replacing EVERY .dat file and EVERY .img file with a verified & working backup, with ZERO success in fixing the problem, I ended up just copying the whole Common and PC folders from a backup over my current files. I just lost the backup I made 1 week ago in a hard drive crash and burn a couple of days ago also. I resorted to a backup from October of last year. I know, yeah, yeah, not a real big deal....could have been worse...at least I don't have to completely start over kinda a mouth full of shit still. What pisses me off is the fact I was NEVER able to find out what caused the issue in the first place. I DID verify that it was not a script issue, not a .img issue, not a .dat file issue in the end. Doesn't leave a whole lot left, eh! Only thing I can figure is this: I lost the yellow waypoint line on the HUD for the gps right before this all happened. Some stuipid HD texture thing I added somewhere I think. I can't help but GUESS that may have been related somehow. I'm pissed because I literally spent a week troubleshooting over and over in what little free time I had to not figure it out. Screw it, my game is back now and that is all that REALLY matters. THANK YOU ALL who tried to help me with this B.S. See you all in Liberty City!

Oh, okay! I see what you're thinking. I will try this first! Thanks brother, I will let you know the results. See, I thought of this issue. I recall checking out the options in OpenIV after adding a new vehicle, I may have even clicked the button in OpenIV to 'RUN GTA' or whatever it says. If I recall correctly, GTA didn't run and I ended up just closing OpenIV via the "x" in the upper corner. I thought I saved my changes before all of that by backing out of my vehicles.img and into the subdirectory. This response makes sense also......I will check into this as well! Nah, that's not stupid at all! I have f-ed many a thing up with SNT. I don't recall changing anything there....nevertheless, I ended up replacing all of my files in the main folder except Common & PC with working backups. I like where you are going here though, I will check this also! Hey all, thank you too everyone for the feedback! You guys never leave a member in need without help. I really appreciate the overwhelming amount of ideas/responses to this issue. I'm not in a position right now to try these fixes but I will this evening. I will post up what fixes it soon. (Hopefully). Side note: I even tried the More Liberty Mod, the mod that adds more peds & vehicles. I ended up with a helluva lot of random peds, still not spawning in a consistent manner though, and still ZERO vehicles cruising around. Like I said earlier, I have removed any Taxi bug fixes, other scripts and the like, and even replaced the vehicle.img with a fresh, untouched version. I'm thinking this rules out the corrupted .img thought. I am refusing to reinstall just yet! Essentially, I have several working complete backups stored and will take files from there first. Thanks again all! I will end my babbling rant and just try everyone's suggestions tonight. Stand-by for results....

Sorry guys if this is a no-brainer to fix. A google search & site search yielded no solutions. For some unknown reason all of the vehicles excerpt an occasional parked car have disappeared. I have a few peds roaming around but nothing consistent. My 'Traffic Density' has been adjusted from 0 to 100 with no effect. After troubleshooting by removing ALL the scripts and even restoring backup files in the Common & PC folders, I am at a total loss here! I even restored the original Vehicles.img and Weapons.img files thinking this was a memory issue, or the games textures being overloaded, but no solution. All of my graphic settings are now on LOW and the others at 0...no texture pop-ins whatsoever now. Damn I don't want to re-install...AGAIN! Can anyone suggest some vehicle related .dat files I can restore back to the original? I'm hoping I didn't f-up my backup files somehow and save non-original files in their place. Thanks for any help you all can offer!

Darn brother, busted! I hadn't even noticed my ridiculous lack of spelling ability Not once, but twice. I appreciate your observation and you keeping me honest. *I went back and fixed my embarrassing spelling!

Well, I guess i'm one of the few that digs the REP system. Essentially the same as others 'Like' system I guess. I'll be honest, my REP as indicated in my profile does matter to me. I take it seriously that my posts may be helpful to others and am concerned that I represent myself here as proper and/or helpful. Call me shallow or whatever. It really does matter to me that my fellow members 'respect' my thoughts and opinions on the information posted here. Just my 2 cents.

Damn nice video! Now all that needs to happen is a script to do all of that with one button press! Nevertheless, sweet video!

Are you referring to the "Shoulder Epaulette"? Here is a template with all of the parts identified. Hope it helps!

Congrats all! This is a well deserved promotion for all of you! We are all lucky to have you gents overseeing the boards.

Thanks Sgt. K! I had a feeling this was something that was alterable only by the vehicle author. That really BLOWS!

Here's my preferred patrol whip: Dodge Challenger-V1.0 by Yakadafi (EVI) with added engine/exhaust sounds taken from BxBugs123's 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71- Liberty Sheriff's Department, & LCSD skin by BxBugs123. I absolutely love the added exhaust rumble from BxBugs123's Tahoe! Pure melodic bliss when the car is simply idling! Yes, it is an absolute erotic experience to hear this beast. ​ *Disclaimer: Skin was self modified for proper fitment (Skin modified for personal use only, thus not releasable. )

Hey boys, check out fellow member ABRAXAS's files here: . The included 'Read Me' reveals the location of the files you guys are looking for. (I believe anyway) Also, I use "PhotoFiltre" which is FREE, http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/ - as my 'quick and dirty' image editing software and save everything as a .PNG file for later importing to GTA IV...as previously stated, you can use OPENIV - openiv.com . to import your .png textures into the game. Also check out this: http://www.gtamodding.com/index.php?title=Importing_Textures_with_OpenIV . You may also check out youtube & google for tutorials as well. Good luck with all of your texture modding escapades!!!! You guys will figure it out rather quickly i'm sure! EDIT: Sorry SOBILO, I didn't see your post with the link to Abraxas' file/download initially....

Damn CG BLAZE, spoken like a true expert! Great information there. I know I drove my CVPI like I "stole it" while on patrol. A lot of ENDLESS idling only to be ran peddle to the floor in short bursts then back to idling. When I got my Expedition it was the same...only when I got a BRAND NEW Charger did I baby it. The CVPI's are awesome cars but I personally would NEVER buy one that was previously used in a law enforcement fashion. Yes they are serviced to a high level, but a lot of times they are getting rid of them because they are miled-out (high mileage) or have issues that aren't cost-effective to fix. Good luck nevertheless!
