No content update here; just an announcement. With the z modeler 3 import/export plugin released vehicle modding can truly begin. I am still trying to wrap my head around what is possible and is not possible with the plugin but if vehicle model improvements become available or especially limitless mapping I intend on reworking this mod from scratch with uncompromising CHP style liveries. I have ran my course with the current vehicle mapping limitations and there's not much else I can do to improve these vehicles or make them more accurate to the CHP look. It's my intention to rework this mod completely and release entirely new vehicles with vastly improved liveries. I'll attach a picture of what I have in mind so you can see what the future holds for the SAHP! I am changing my focus to attempt and integrate new liveries entirely and will not be updating the old style models.
I plan on sticking to the "in universe" theme and will release vehicles such as the buffalo and stanier with improved models, mapping and textures. In other words improved vanilla vehicles. I don't see myself releasing a crown victoria mod or anything (I'm sure there will be plenty of those anyways).
In addition, I would like to say thank you once again to AlexVonShep who is working on a second SAHP station conversion mod. This one, which was a suggestion in the comments, will be for the La Mesa LSPD station which we learned is based on a real CHP station. Seems appropriate!
Thanks to everyone for enjoying this mod! Attached is a sneak peak at what I have in mind for the future vehicles. Keep in mind this is just an edited screenshot and some progress will need to be made in the vehicle mapping department before it is possible. But I am hopeful it will become a reality in the near future.
Hello! Thank you for looking at the current version of my San Andreas Highway Patrol 'immersion' pack. I have worked hard to make sure these vehicles fit in with the other vanilla agencies and used their art style as guidelines so the SAHP does not look out of place when next to them.
Here is what's included in this file:
- Add-on SAHP Stanier, white Stanier and Buffalo (you do not need to replace another vehicle to get these cars into the game)
- Replacement textures for the Bike and Maverick (both optional)
- Sweet ass black and white Maverick texture that matches Stanier
- ALL NEW (Update 1.0.6.1) SAHP Trooper uniform overhaul - which changes the trooper uniforms to tan in the style of the CHP: Also included in this update is a brand new made from scratch SAHP uniform patch that is high fidelity and looks a lot better than the previous one: which was pulled from the GTAV wikipedia. Not anymore! (I include files for both uniform overhaul and vanilla uniforms with new patch only, if you like the vanilla uniforms and just want the patch)
- Alternate version of the Stanier file that has the much requested amber head lamps (with easy installation instructions)
- New version includes a third headlight option that is for amber turn signals only (parking lights remain clear). To me this fits in the best with vanilla cars.
You will need a trainer that has a vehicle spawner that allows you to type in the vehicle name manually. You can also spawn them using the RageHook console by typing "spawn hwaycar", "spawn hwaycar2" or "spawn hwaycar3". I use the enhanced native trainer and have the vehicles saved so they can be easily spawned.
Installation instructions included in ReadMe.
Please check out AlexVonShep's SAHP Paleto Bay conversion mod. We worked together on this mod and he did an awesome job. You may remember Alex from his GTAIV station mods and he is continuing with this tradition into GTAV. For those of you who are big SAHP fans I highly recommend it.
