Since the original police4 carvariations lines are inaccessible, you will need to write new ones. This is why as a beginner it's easier to install add-on vehicles instead of replacing default ones. Install the vehicle files in a dlcpack which has a carvariations.meta (\dlc.rpf\common\data\carvariations.meta). You can mostly copy carvariations lines from another police vehicle. These lines dictate what colors the car will spawn in and set its lighting patterns. The value that your issue revolves around is "sirensetting" near the end of the document, it is probably 1, but needs to be 13. Well, what would you have expected him to type into the search bar? It seems he isn't familiar with carvariations yet.

I admit I haven't tried it, but the author himself said it's little more than a testing tool and unfit for practical use.

Alright guys, it's been some time now since RPH .46 came out, and I really wonder if someone's working with the developer assets to switch sirensetting during runtime. I could really use a simple plugin that changes it to a pre-defined value and back with the stroke of a button.

This thread is always on the front page and yet there's only two or three posters obsessing about how difficult life without ELS is and throwing likes at each other's posts. Seriously, give it a rest, you're devaluing this thread and what it means to see someone has posted in it. Not to mention you're giving yourselves a bad name. You're not making it come out any sooner and you're definitely not the only ones waiting. Peace.

The rotation of the object changes with the rotation of the corona.

That's beyond unlikely, but should it happen, you stop and see what they want, and that's pretty much it. Because there's no way to immediately recognize the difference. EDIT: It's actually even further complicated by the fact that an officer who is authorized to conduct traffic stops may wish to do so from a vehicle that isn't properly equipped for it, ie lacks red lights and a siren (blue means make way, red means stop). It's a very specific situation and by law you wouldn't be compelled to pull over but theoretically it's plausible and in that case any good citizen would want to co-operate rather than have the authorities waste resources on something so mundane as a traffic stop. Not here, although plain clothes officers rarely, if ever, pull anyone over. But it is a possibility and I've seen it happen.

Reading this provides some interesting insight into just how different traffic and law enforcement practices in varying jurisdictions can be. It all comes down to the aforementioned fact that people aren't very familiar with traffic stops and in all sincerity you can't really expect it of them. Incidents like this have happened where I live, although it is extremely rare. Drivers never even suspect it and always pull over immediately. Given the rather unrestricted legislation on unmarked police cars, especially so if compared to American standards, it would be understandably difficult for anyone to make out a phony cop car, let alone in the dark. While most patrol cars are well equipped with plenty of lights, the law doesn't require the siren to be used at all, and whether the car is marked or not plays no part in the subject's obligation to come to a stop. Many drivers, especially in the rural parts, have never been pulled over, so that makes any kind of "cop authenticity validation" extremely difficult at a glance. Even real cops would have a hard time figuring it out on first impressions. I guess delaying pulling over until the cops blip the siren is the fool-proof way of making sure it's the real deal.

Not well.

Do you use the Simple Trainer? If so, open its menu and disable keybindings. Otherwise, hitting PageUp or PageDown (can't remember which one) will spawn the killer sports car.

How is this done, again?

Nobody's suggested it will, though, so stop working yourselves up.

If you only want to change the color of the uniform, what I did is add layers that manipulate the existing colors. In Photoshop, I can see two ways of doing this: Either create a new adjustment layer for hue/saturation, subtract the parts you don't want to color from the mask (such as badges, boots, the undershirt etc) or duplicate the layer, alter curves on the R, G and B channels and delete the parts you don't want to color from the altered layer

The emissive material on a vehicle's generic lights (headlights, indicators, etc) have a unique numerical value depending on the function of the light. This makes it possible for the game to recognize which materials should light up when the corresponding lights are turned on/off. The value can be added or changed in the properties tab in vertex mode.

It's a developer asset, apparently they've left creating a working plugin to use the function to someone else.

I'm glad you asked! I ran out of my ZM3 subscription which has given me the chance to focus more on my vocational and personal lives. Once I'm ready to spend more time on GTA V and modding cars as a hobby again, I'll renew the subscription and will start work on new vehicles and fix any of my current models, should the need arise. A police version of the Radius might be a cool idea that was suggested in this thread, and the IV car pool still has some goodies to produce, which I've also got my eye on.

You know, I'd actually do it, since the car is extremely fit for a police vehicle and I like it, but RDE 3.0 will include it anyhow, and keeping in mind their attention to quality and detail I suppose there's no point in me making another one. Thank you for your suggestion!

So, now that RPH .46 is out, is anyone making use of the new emergency light customization support?

in vehicles.meta just change the <audioNameHash> value of the vehicle to POLICE, it will give you the cop horn and siren functions But you need vehicles.meta lines for the car and you need to do each car individually. Alternatively, wait out for the next RPH update which will let you use sirens on any vehicle in the game without editing the vehicle data files.

Changing multiples to 0 will also fix this

Not a pro by any definition of the word but having tried my hand at modding for a few months now I suppose if you know what you want to do and are really eager to learn and spend a lot of time on it, then go for it. You will fail more times than you will succeed and it will be a frustrating experience... ..but the rewards are totally worth it.

Ok wow, that's embarrassing. Thanks for pointing it out!
