Try playing with the z-coordinates and seeing what happens.

"Unlock" here refers to IV's car door locks. Also, it appears that the "new format X, Y, Z" means that the 3 lines in a v7 VCF: Extra_*_X = foo Extra_*_Y = bar Extra_*_Z = baz need to be changed into the one line: Extra_* = foo, bar, baz

Why should they do that?

But that's not being a gamer messing with school, that's having had a rough childhood messing with school. "I dropped out because I needed to work a job in order to feed myself" is a lot more legitimate than "I dropped out to play Skyrim".

I play games, and I go to an absolutely top-tier American university. They can affect my schoolwork by way of being distracting, but that's the thing - they don't mess with knowledge, they mess with work ethic (when they mess with anything).

Speaking of killing, this thread will be killed if it continues down the path of insults.

That's because the cars *stop*. 5 seconds away when *stopped* is right on top of each other. But you're ignoring that when car 2 slows, car 1 isn't standing still - it's moving away from where car 2 slows at a speed of 30 mph. The time that stays constant is front-to-front: time from front bumper of car 2 to front of car 1. If this time times the final speed is more than the length of car 1, they will not crash.

No, that's not what would happen. Distances between cars would shrink, but times would not. Think of it like this: All cars entering the radius slow down at the same rate. If Car 1 has slowed to 30, then the distance it's gone is enough to slow from 60 to 30. Car 2 cannot plow into car 1 at 60; that would only work if it actually decelerates more slowly than car 1. However, if the cars are, say, 5 seconds apart, they will be 5 seconds apart in the slowed down section as well; car 2 enters the slowdown 5 seconds after car 1, completes the slowdown 5 seconds after car 1 did, but car 1 has now traveled 5 seconds at 30 mph and is not hit by car 2.

Bxbugs123 certainly speaks English.

No, US police tend to use a name-based phonetic alphabet (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAPD_phonetic_alphabet)

You're a bit late there. GTA is the *prime example* of a game that gets blamed by moral guardians.

Exception: If a cop pulls you over and tells you to get out of the car, and you then collapse to the ground unconscious, with neither breathing nor pulse, a properly certified police officer may perform CPR. However, that looks less like "kiss" and more like, well, "assault" (CPR is pretty violent, which is why you only do it if you have to choose between "severe body damage" and "death").

Considering that an unwanted kiss is considered sexual assault, I think it's unlikely.

Posse Comitatus says absolutely nothing of the kind. It says that members of federal military forces, aside from the Coast Guard, may not enforce the law unless Congress has specifically authorized it (e.g. in cases of insurrection, which is why Eisenhower sent federal troops to enforce school integration, and why the military can intervene in riots). It says nothing at all that even remotely relates to the *style* of enforcement. The key thing is "federal": a state's National Guard, when not under federal control, is perfectly allowed to enforce laws. States can have their own *military* personnel, in regularly organized National Guard units, enforce the laws whenever they damn well please. It cannot *possibly* be interpreted to say "military-style weapons aren't allowed for civilian police".

The police in GTA games are anything *but* innocent. The LCPD has a picture of police brutality on their uniform.

So when you're shot once by police, it seriously impedes your activity; police are hurt by your shots less than you're hurt by theirs; when busted, you don't get out on bail, but instead get held in maximum security until you go to court and get sentenced to death (or life w/o parole, but CA has a death penalty, IIRC), when you die you're done with that save forever, etc? The GTA games are not very well acquainted with realism.

FWIW, I can't see that file either.

Also, it's not unusual for senior officers to wear white shirts. Lots of US departments do it too. It's a sign of status and seniority - senior officers are professionals with office jobs, while patrolmen actually have to work for a living. EDIT: Also, the Metropolitan Police was one of the first modern police forces ever created; a LOT of forces modeled themselves after it (that is literally the reason police wear blue - the Metropolitan Police did it to distinguish themselves from the redcoats in the army, and it stuck).

Yeah, like drdetroit, the title made me think you meant "subway" as in "underground rapid transit system", not "Subway" as in "large sandwich chain". I have no issues with the latter doing this - they do what makes them the most money, and it's probably safe to say that if they remove ham and bacon from a store, the store probably wasn't selling much of it anyway.

You can buy GTA on Steam.

IIRC, the only models on which ELS v7 will work are: those models found in vanilla GTA IV, police3, police4, policeb, and emerg1-emerg7. It does not work on arbitrary added models; I'm not sure if it has *all* the EFLC models, and you should check the manual.

I must have missed where this thread was about the United States. Can we please stay on-topic?

It still depends. If Shaefft converted his Crown Vic from a game, then your model will still be an unauthorized derivative work. Even if every bit was scratch-modelled, Ford and Whelen have certain IP rights, which you are likely violating (you are almost certainly violating their trademark if you present it as a Ford Crown Victoria, instead of, I don't know, a Vapid Stanier or something - if you're wondering why Rockstar uses made-up car names, that's why). Claiming a copyright stands a chance of getting you a stern letter from Ford's lawyers. Attribution is irrelevant, unless required by the terms of a license - a copyright infringement where you give credit is still a copyright violation. Also, it's highly doubtful whether "slap a lightbar on a car" is sufficiently creative to receive any sort of copyright protection. TL;DR: No. Copyright is not a mechanism that is particularly applicable to mods. ...wait a sec. Are you trying to copyright your mod, or are you wondering if you'd become liable to copyright claims? In general, copyright is not a big deal in this community (built as it is on a lot of copyright violations), and companies like Ford normally only get involved if you start selling stuff or the like. If you release the mods, you can't be certain of not getting in legal trouble, but you can be *basically* certain that no one will care about it. My posts were on the assumption that you wanted to *receive* copyright protection, which would be unlikely to happen.
