Made the texture for the liberty 500 series endcap cutout 
 
i put it over the lin6 as a placeholder
 

This is a bit of a rant, but I feel like it's something that needs to be said for anyone who uploads models or scripts.
 
I want to point out that our community guidelines encourage constructive criticism. This means comments on how to improve a vehicle or script, not hateful comments such as "this is shit." If you don't want comments that you think are mean (when they are really pointing out problems with it), then put effort into your uploads.
 
I asked a number of people from both sides of modding, and these are common issues listed:
 
Models:
-Big one: Complete lack of credits. More people worked on the parts used than just "you". All files should have every credit listed from the parts you used to create your content. That's even in the community guidelines.
-The credits section is included on the file page for a reason. It should be more than just "Included." It takes 5 seconds to copy and paste them.
-If you don't know who made something, find out or don't include that part. "Unknown" isn't acceptable.
-Stolen parts. If someone just gives you a part on discord with no credits and he isn't the original author, it's probably stolen.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE- It's not the job of the community to handle those issues, it's the job of moderators. If you see it, report it and move on to prevent drama
 
-Throwing a lightbar on a car and releasing.
-Way out of scale lights and other equipment, such as laptops, spotlights, etc
-No LODs, meaning the added parts disappear more than a few feet away from the car
-Lack of any additional equipment. Police cars have more than just a lightbar and pushbars. Partitions, weapons, center consoles, lighting control systems, laptops, etc. A vast majority of police cars have that and it ruins realism if a car only has lights.
-No VCF being included. Properly setup VCF's are needed for the ELS coronas to be the correct color at a distance.
-Miscolored textures. If a pushbar is green or purple, fix it.
-Clipping equipment. Nothing should be sticking through the windshield.
-Multiple radios and siren controllers. Those are extremely rare if ever used.
-Red and Blue DRL's. Not physically possible in real life.
-Super basic flash patterns that have no effort put into them.
-Calling it a real life agency when it looks nothing like it. If some one searches for that agency, they already have what they want in their mind. Putting "Fictional" in the title doesn't fix that.
 
 
Problems on scripts:
-The exact same stolen vehicle callouts across 50 files, and especially scripts that only contain those. Mainly when it is copied exactly from tutorials and the only difference is the type of car.
-People committing crimes while standing in the middle of the street.
-Outlandish events that never happen day to day, ie: Major shootouts, stolen monster trucks, tanks, emergency vehicles, etc. Even pursuits are fairly rare for most officers.
-Stolen code from others
-Callouts riddled with errors
-Unrealistic premises. For example, a mugging should be over in a few seconds and shouldn't be called in until after it's over. You shouldn't get the call, respond for 2 minutes and still find the suspect holding someone at gun point.
 
There's dozens of discords of talented people who would be happy to help. Don't be afraid to ask them. Modding is a learning process. You're not going to be good over night, it takes time and most importantly, you can always improve. Picasso didn't sell his first drawing he did in grade school, you should probably not release your first ever model or plugin either.
 
Mainly, take some time to objectively ask yourself if you would download it if you didn't make it or if you didn't have a bias towards that agency.
 
This leads me into the topic title. Just because "It's his first time" doesn't make some one immune to criticism. People should be encouraged to improve. I spent hundreds of hours on my first vehicle uploads. I sought the guidance of people with way more experience than me who I trusted. If some one points out issues to the car or script, they aren't a "hater". They aren't a "shithead who would struggle to put 2 match sticks together". They actually do care that some one can improve. I personally want to see as much quality stuff put into the downloads section as possible. But that means actually taking time on something, which is something very few people have been willing to do over the last year.

Gonna be doing a console pack of about 15 or so different consoles, all being different lengths, etc. Here are a few so far
Decided to do another pack because my first one was pure ass and I didn't know how to use 3ds 😂 

So, it's been a while since we've provided an update on LSPDFR 0.4.  As you might've guessed from the title, though, there's a good reason for this...  It has taken us a lot of work to get to this point, and in the last couple of months alone we've made hundreds and hundreds of changes.  Anyway, here we are - who knows how many months late - but we're here.  No riddles, no treasure hunts, no @MSA (at least I'm pretty sure they're not here), but straight to the point!  We can now confirm that we'll be releasing LSPDFR 0.4 in February, 2019.  
 
Anyway... with the scary part out of the way, I wanted to take the opportunity to explain ourselves a little.  No, @LMS wasn't renditioned to an IAA black site, no I didn't fall victim to the Orbital Cannon, and no...  the ghost of @ineseri didn't drive a train into us.  Perfectly plausible scenarios given our silence about 0.4 as of late, but we're actually still alive.  Instead, we've been pretty busy rushing to the finish line as far as 0.4 is concerned, and to complement the big news above, we thought we'd throw in a couple of sweeteners below to show just how much 0.4 is going to change things. 
 
We've talked a lot about our Character system in LSPDFR 0.4.  It's one of the biggest changes to the mod, but we also think it represents an entirely new direction in general.  I say this because, not only does it allow us to have a bunch of really cool stuff natively integrated into the mod, like customizing a character, but it also lets us have a bunch of other really cool stuff natively integrated into the mod!  Having your own character dials up the immersion quite substantially, but we wanted to take things to another level.  We thought, for example, wouldn't it be cool if instead of spawning as Franklin in Franklin's house, you could instead, say, I don't know?  Actually spawn as your own character, in their house.  Or maybe, instead of switching to Trevor and your camera panning down to him being pursued by the LSPD, you could switch to one of your other characters, and "Google Earth" down to them being the LSPD. 
 
LSPDFR 0.4 introduces a fully functional GTA Online Apartment to single-player, complete with transition sequences, working interactions and more Steve Haines than you can handle.
 
It's not just that, though, we really wanted to dial it up.  Having your own character, them having an apartment, switching, customizing, it's all cool, right?  But you might be thinking, what's the point?  These are "multiplayer features".  And sure, LSPDFR is and most likely always will be a single-player mod, but that doesn't mean we can't think outside of the box every once in a while. 
 
Recently, @Cyan, in addition to all of her work on the website, has also been developing an all new framework called LSPDFR Sync.  LSPDFR Sync lets you connect up to your LSPDFR.com account in-game, and you can then synchronize your LSPDFR characters with your LSPDFR.com profile.  To top it off, we've brought back statistics too.  Ever wanted to know how many shots your character has fired?  It's as simple as taking a look at your character's profile on the site - which, we should add, you can actually edit.
 

 

 
LSPDFR Sync provides all-new, seamless connectivity with your LSPDFR.com profile.
 
And frankly, it doesn't even end there.  When I said before that we wanted to dial the immersion up to the max, I guess I lied.  What I actually meant to say was that we'd just ripped the dial clean off the controls, strapped it to a rocket, and sent the damn thing up to the moon.  Not only can you now create a character, customize them, share them, spawn as them...  You can actually do things as them too!  Like, actual game things.  Ever wanted to run the triathalon as your LSPDFR Character?  Now you can.  Or, how about practicing with your sidearm down at the range?  Yep, got that too.  Simply want a can of sprunk from a vending machine?  No problem.
 

 
With the introduction of a new innovative system by @LMS, it's now possible to do many of the single-player minigames while playing as your LSPDFR Character.
 
Of course, with the Character system, and all of the features that come with it, being such a huge part of LSPDFR 0.4 it'd be easy to forget that this is a police mod.  Indeed, I think we almost did given the grotesquely gargantuan amount of work that has gone into it.  Fear not, though, as we have also been working on some incredible new gameplay features too, including massive improvements to interaction with suspects and people that you arrest.
 
LSPDFR 0.4 introduces, in a game-changing way, the ability to take hold of and drag arrested suspects.  Yes, we know that there's some great API mods which have held the fort, and we're grateful for that, but this is something we wanted to get absolutely right, and indeed, we think the result is simply stunning.  The possibilities are pretty far-reaching too and encompass just about everything from shoving suspects up against cruisers, to personally escorting them into their cells.  
 

 

 
No, these aren't cutscenes.  No, they're not edited screenshots.  With 0.4, this is real.
