Not a Narc

Hot off the release of LSPDFR 0.4 a couple of months ago, we're upping the ante with another update which brings not only sweeping improvements to the LSPDFR 0.4 API, but also some unique features which have long been requested.
 
Originally, the plan was merely to release 0.4.2 as a quick follow-up to 0.4 and 0.4.1 - just simple fixes and changes, plus the API improvements to help developers make the most of 0.4.  Necessary changes, but not really cool enough, right?  So, with that in mind we took a little time to dig back into the archives of LSPDFR and revisit some of our old concepts and ideas.  Now, while some of these are actually in the mod - they're most likely either tucked away as 'easter eggs' or just disabled because they weren't quite right.
 
If you're a connoisseur of traffic stops, for example, you might've noticed that occasionally the unexpected and oh so demoralizing experience of pulling over a federal agent hits you right in the feels as they arrogantly flash their shiny badge, tell you where to stick your comparatively less shiny badge, and drive off.  (If you haven't seen this before, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNOxZR2ak0M)
 
Originally the plan was to add this as a feature for players to use, but it just didn't quite fit in with 0.3, and we had some trouble with the animation not being quite as fluid as we'd like.  That was then, though, and given that you now play as your own character both on and off duty, we thought it'd be a bit of a must-have now, so we've tidied it up and are introducing it as a player action in 0.4.2.
 

 
With one quick glance at the shimmering shield, her problems are suddenly your problems.  (Note, a custom badge model is shown instead of the default FIB one - you will be able to define custom models to use on a per-agency basis)
 
Now, not only does this look exceedingly awesome, but it serves a practical purpose too.  Available both on and off-duty, showing your badge will clear any wanted level and may also instill the fear of the law in nearby citizens, potentially de-escalating the otherwise unavoidable confrontations that flare when you walk around Mirror Park without the latest iFruit phone, for example!
 
Of course, that's not all.  Continuing with the idea of adding things that are just generally cool, we know that people have wanted a ballistic shield feature in LSPDFR for quite some time.  Sure, you can spawn one with a trainer or download another mod, but it's just not quite the same is it? 
 
We thought it'd be particularly sweet to have it at your fingertips instead, fully integrated with LSPDFR, ready to kick some butt.
 

 
As if being Frank Tenpenny isn't cool enough...
 
Our ballistic shield, accessed from the Interaction Menu, uses our new animation system in 0.4.2 which we think looks absolutely gorgeous.  There's also the freedom to switch between Stealth and Action mode which will vary your pose accordingly, compatibility with most weapons and the potential for future AI support.
 
Oh yeah, did we mention you can actually arrest people at gunpoint while holding a freaking shield?!
 
Keep your eyes open for LSPDFR 0.4.2, coming soon.
 

Short: I've been off for months now due to a high-functioning illness. I'm glad to be perfectly stable and willing to pass thanks to all of u.
I'll be moving on. I hope all of my fans remember me.

I second this.  I'm looking forward to not using such resource heavy mods and using less non-callout plugins.

That's why it's called the Ford Rollover Utility.

Now if this badass fucker was still in service...

 
But in more modern terms, the Crown Victoria is literally the best LE vehicle of all time. The Taurus and the Exploder aren't exactly police vehicles. A. You're crammed in this little Taurus sedan trying to peek out of it's small windows. B. You're inside a fairly big SUV which rattles and squeaks and overall just looks like your mother's "utility" van.
 
The Crown Victoria may  not see modern safety standards, but you have a car that can take a front end collision, and if that motor and chassis is untouched, you'll spend more than likely less than 1k in repairs. Even so, some departments have spent $ on new blocks for their wrecked Crown Vics. The car is dirt cheap, takes constant abuse, and has maintenance costs the price of a plumber for your shit filled toilet. You won't see departments rushing to the current newer cars after their production line is finished the same way they did the Vic. This car does not stop.

You may be thinking, "XDUFJUFSJHNGHANWHF ME OPENIV IS GOOONNENEEE AAAAaaAaaaAAAaAAAAAA I CXANT MOD NO MOREEE HOW CN I FCLIVE NO MOAR U TUBE VIDEYASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you've come to the right topic.
 
Now you may still have OpenIV on your computer if you didn't overreact like some spastic tweaker, but you'll see a new update (version 2.9) or a new message.

Now you know you're no lawyer, but you're an edgy pre-teen who likes GTA V minion mods, or some short circuit light bulb who drives around in a retired fleet car with amber "warning" lights, with thin blue line garbage plastered everywhere the rectangle will fit, and pretends to enforce his neighborhood watch program while being as grey as he can with the law, but who uploads YouTube videos with that there __PDFR mod, where they could do all those things that would be in direct violation of your state and federal laws. Yet let's assume you'll get some knowledge from my simple how-to topic here that'll hopefully let you see that nothing has changed and you're not as sol as you think you are.
 
Step 1:
Press the button.

 
holy shit look at that!!!!

You hacked the modder code you law breaking sob.

you've been a criminal, bud.

This topic is obsolete. No matter what choice you make, he IS doing the CVPI first. If he doesn't, I will make sure Hurk doesn't produce another mod again. He knows what is expected, don't bother, he's lying. CVPI first, CVPI best.

I'm the loner white school kid of the LCPDFR forums. You better watch it, dude.

Hope its alright if i post a photo of this guy here, mods let me know if you want it down.
 

Who knows!

Hopefully due to the nice police report that just happened to be filed.

I'll just leave this here for your enjoyment.

@americanboy That's a fine model. Would you mind sharing it? I'd love to fix it up to a proper 98-02 model.
 
I own a 2005 year myself and am literally a walking encyclopedia of Crown Victoria knowledge. I could do some flawless work with this beauty.

Need For Speed HP 2 was my first NFS game and I think my first "racing game" i put that in quotes because I never drove anything but the police cars.

There are lots of mini-agencies in GTA V the US Coast Guard, the US Marine Navy Army mismash of god knows how much inaccuracy at Fort Zancudo. But besides all that one thing I've always wanted to do is provide air support for a chase and have a chance to direct that fucking spotlight or atleast have my co-pilot do it.
Bringing up co-pilot, will LSPDFR be Multiplayer compatible SP Only or MP Only... The feeling of being in a chase alone isnt as great as with friends all working together to catch the suspect.

Riot Mod!
 
Oh and ambient patrolling cops which are missing from the game.

As scary as it sounds, its impossible for black holes to sustain themselves until they get much much bigger than the earth, until that point they can't suck up anything and dissipate into energy. That's why a huge fucking star has to implode. This isn't the SyFy channel the world isn't gonna end.

I have Comcast, so doing something evil is expected; I absolutely fucking hate this pop-up, is there ANY fix for this.

As long as i can recreate this.
 

Waiting on the new PC to come in, i5 and a GTX 970 to boot! I'm shelling out $900 or so so I can enjoy GTA V/GTA IV LS/LCPD:FR to the fullest, and even if LSPD:FR doesn't happen for a while, the consoles already proved how easy it was to modify single player characters to cop models complete with them not shooting you.

1. Get rid of this crap. 


2. Make this appear. 


3. Re-make this.
