Officer Newton

Alright, I agree that there are a lot of CVPI's out there and yes there are a lot being uploaded to the site. The reason they all look the same is because all these new "modelers" are just importing parts that import directly into place or ones that can be placed with little effort. Then you end up with another CVPI with a go-rhino and a Liberty. I've been taking a lot of time lately to scratch make new parts just so that my cars have some variety and new lighting modules on them. That way I'm not adding to the list of 100 CVPIs with Libertys. OP, you say you want a variety of cars, new cars, well you don't understand how hard it is to get those cars. The very few people who have them are not giving them out to just anyone. Plus some have mentioned converting, I don't think you realize how long and how much work it takes to convert something. This is another big reason why you don't see every modeler converting cars. In the end, modelers, experienced or not, are going to make what they want to make. You can post about it and complain all day long but the only true way to get the models you want is to make them yourself. I'm not going to join in on the little war thats started here but I do agree with LucaDiablo on some of his points

Hey guys,

I don't know how many of you know about Large Address Aware - it's an application thanks to which programs can use more than 2 gigs of memory on x64 systems. Quote from original topic on techpowerup.com:

So, how does this apply to GTA IV, you ask?

Wonderfully!

After applying the LAA flag to GTAIV.exe, my game is much more stable. It might be just a placebo effect, but it feel smoother, textures pop up faster and it crashes less (from 15 mins. to about 30 - 45).

Link to the application and instructions how to use it are here - http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112556.

It also works with other games!

Just remember, you must have x64 Windows to use it.

Try it out and let me know if it worked for you!

A few people have been asking for the vehicle.ide flags and what they do so I compiled a list below. I think I have them all, but please feel free to add any that I may have missed.

isvan - vehicle has van style rear doors.
livery - If the car has multiple different textures, it will randomize between them.
noboot - you won't see the car parked at the side of the road with a ped looking inside the trunk/hood.
onlyduringofficehours - the car will only spawn during office hours and not at night.
truckenginefx - truck engine.
truckexhaustfx - more dust when changing gears .
truckfirefx - Larger flames when vehicle catches fire.
avoidturns - if the car is big, like bus, it will avoid sharp turns
bangerexhaustfx - dirty smoke
big - the car is big (Duuhhhrrrr)
delivery - it's a delivery car so only spawns in the daytime.
ext_all - spawns with all extras.
ext_conv - Convertable, this means that the driver can jump in the car without opening door.
ext_gang - spawns all extras simultaneously that are named extra_5 and above.
ext_rare - spawning with extras will be rare.
ext_requi - extra required, will always spawn with an extra.
ext_strong - This flag means that the extras won't come off easily when you crash the vehicle. Without this, they come off in light crashes.
ext_sunroof - switches the component at the top.
ext_taxi - will cycle through extras named extra_5 and above.
ext_script - has extra decorations on it which is activated with an external script (Useful with ELS, AI cars don't drive around with lights randomly on)

Yes, it's finally here after various setbacks. :)
From the beginning to 3:36 the quality got really pixelated for some reason but it's fixed for the rest of the video.

Big thanks goes to Alt for voice acting! You people ought to check his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/K6Productions Enjoy!

I don't really know if this is the right place to post this but I figured it would be alright since I used a few LCPDFR.com mods for quite a few of my clips and the script for a couple as well.  If it's not the right place, then feel free to delete this post.
 
Worked on this for quite some time and I think it turned out pretty well.  Feel free to let me know what you think.

vdH K-9 Script v.1.0.0
 

Meet Jerry Lee, K-9 officer from Liberty city.
He loves chilli, cruising in patrol car, biting bad guys asses and coke... I mean and searching for drugs, firearms and cadaver.



It's not that complex script like my other mods, but it is really fun. Jerry Lee is still in training, but he's better every day. I'm affraid I can't solve every problem, so know issues are: sometimes weird animations (it's 4-legged model rigged to 2-legged body by AC.Amir, he made great work with that huge limitations), wrong collision box (anyone know is there a way to fix it?) and what's annoying, LCPD:FR doesn't treat Jerry Lee as police officer and you can hold him or arrest by mistake :-/

Greetings everyone, both new and old. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, for it will be my last on the LCPD:FR forums.

I amn't sure as to where I should post this, but I feel that since it is me saying goodbye, the discussion forum is as good a place as any.

I am sad to say friends, that today is the day I have removed both LCPD:FR and GTA IV from my system. Everytime I start up the mod and go on duty, I get a 'GTA IV Fatal Error' - sometimes almost immediatley. I have viewed your support forums and tried everything you have suggested relating to this issue, including everything you have not, yet, sadly, nothing has fixed the problem. Please be clear that I am NOT blaming you OR your mods for the crashes, I am merely saying I cannot use nor enjoy any of them as they continually occur. I really wish there was another solution to this issue as this is the best mod I have ever seen. I respect each and every one of you modders and developers because you bring us these excellent mods through hard work, dedication and lots of your own time, without being asked to do so and without being compensated for your efforts. The quality of work you produce is worth charging for, but the fact you choose not to speaks volumes about you. It is for those reasons, plus many, many more, that I will respect each and every one of you and I thank you for the fun times LCPD:FR brought me. Really, thank you. I can move on to other aspects of gaming knowing that, after years of searching for a mod such as this, not only did I get to use it, but I got to meet and chat to the very people who made it possible. It is a proud moment for me. Keep up the hard work friends. I wish you all the best in your lives, both now and in the future.

This is Officer AimForTheBrain, handing in his badge and firearms. My cruiser is in the garage below the station. May it serve you well.
