Considering how GPM is down and Bugs disabled PM's for some reason this is the only way I can contact you. I am extremely heart broken to see GPM gone. My old threads with my skins are all gone? I do have the RAW files but still. Is it really gone? Also is there ever going to be an official Bugs/Caine Taurus for V that have the same template so I can import my skins?

I have a number pad on my keyboard is it possible to set my keybindings to those specifically? Or will setting them 1,2 and 3 etc work on the number row and number pad?

A few things. 1) Is this really Bugs IV Taurus? 2) If yes then can you make the template a lot closer to the original? The proportions are all off which means I would have to do a LOT of re-editing on my skins to get this into V which I am not willing to do. This can be done as it was done with the SA and IV Taurus because they are one in the same. Note that I am not in anyway saying this is bad, because it looks fantastic in-game. But I and I am sure a lot of other people would prefer a template as close to his as possible. Yours is a fair amount bigger and the proportions aren't the same. EDIT: With the current template you have my textures are impossible to import to V due to your template being larger. Which means I would either have to upscale them and have them become blurry and ugly. Or redo them from scratch which is a lot of work considering how many I have.

What's the story on this? How close to completion is it? Also I want to see what the template looks like so I can start preparing my skins.

It was my all time top car in SA. I have made the most skins for it than any other vehicle in SA/IV.

Fantastic! I can't wait to release my skins in V.

Please try to keep this Taurus's template the same or too close to tell to that of San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV's. In other words. When you map the template make it almost if not the EXACT same as the one from SA and IV. The great thing about both of those is the skins are interchangeable into both games because the template is the same. I have a bare minimum of 80-90 skins I have done over the years for the Taurus. It would kill me if I had to redo all of them to port them into V.

I am just wondering if anyone has any future plans or current plans to port this to V with the past template I might add. The majority of my skins in SA and IV were mainly this vehicle. I easily have over 70 skins for this. I would hate and probably not port them over manually. Yes I am aware of the "Vapid" look-alike that has been mapped. It's not the same thing.

Hey Doppler I know it's still early but uh, are you going to release a template so people can make skins for the vehicle too? I am itching to dig into my euro skins again.

I want to try this so bad. I would re-install IV for this if people can confirm it crashes much less. It's too much trouble to install IV and get it to launch to have it crash due to LCPDFR.

Vanilla Game. Latest LCPDFR, Latest ELS, 1 Car. Crash in 10 minutes or less. I will say this is a great mod, very fun. However I will wait for the release on V in about a year and a half or less. GTA IV obviously has problems since it's a horrific port and mods make it even less stable. I am pretty sure V will be leaps and bounds more stable than IV.

You call crashing every 10-15 minutes fine?

So I have LCPDFR up and running on Windows 8.1, it seems disabling SP and MP AI ELS fixed most of the issues. However LCDFR still crashes depending on what kind of callout I get. When I use the WoutersCallouts-v1-1 it seems to crash when it uses a callout from there. I see on youtube all the time people doing LCPDFR for up to anhour with all kinds of ridiculous mods and added callouts. But for me it seems I can't last more than 20 minutes or less with just one of the widely used callout scripts.

So I have come to the conclusion that LCPDFR is the cause of my crashes. The game ONLY crashes when I enable LCPDFR, I have no clue why this is. For all I know it's my computer. I am going to uninstall and re-install on windows 8 and see if that works. If not farewell LCPDFR until SAPDFR for V

Which is the preferred method of LCPDFR? Manual or Auto?

So here is the basic rundown. Set gtav.exe and launchgtaiv.exe as admin with Vista 2 comaptibility? [EDIT]: GTA IV is installed with no mods and working flawlessly. Which should I install first? ELS then LCPDFR? also should I install one, run the game then install the other?

Compatibility mode for what? I need to know what to set it to lol. {EDIT} I am going to completely re-install GTA IV. Now do you guys have any preferences for installation and any preferences for installing LCPDFR?

So I am having issues with LCPDFR. First I had an issue with having a modded car in the save parking spot crashing the game. I have corrected that error. But now LCPDFR is crashing. The only mods I have is LCPDR, ELS and BXBUGS 2011 Ford Taurus. I was messing around with LCPDFR for a while and I was just driving when suddenly I hear a beeping noise indicating an alert by LCPDFR. It said LCPDFR has crashed or something to that effect. The weird thing was the beeping tone hung and repeated about 70 times before GTA IV Crashed altogether. This generated about 100+ of the same error log in LCPDFR.log. Also I can't seem to use the LCPDFR configuration tool because of this: My IV is an official copy I bought from target. LCPDFR.log: AdvancedHook.log: GTA IV was freshly installed lastnight. I had a mod called "DayLIVGraphicsV5" to make it look brighter and happier. I installed this before LCPDFR, I thought perhaps this was the cause so I removed it. So tl;dr ~ LCPDFR is crashing, ELS installed, LCPDFR installed, BXBUGS 2011 Ford Taurus installed. Game is crashing. System Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 / Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (Dual HDDs) Radeon HD 7850 2GB AMD FX 8150 3.6GHz 16GB RAM 1TB HDD Biostar TA970XE [EDIT #2] A second crash. Not sure why GTA IV hates me. This time I am using DoubleDopplers mods. I have no clue what is going on. I have never ever had this thing working properly EVER. And this has been on Windows 7 and 8. Also I have reformatted a time or two in between attempts to play this. I have a fresh PC. Not sure, but it's starting to piss me off. Second Crash Log: LCPDFR.Log So yeah not sure what's up and I want this to work. I am not sure but this happens when I have a partner, I think it still happens when I am by myself. Also the crash started right after I joined a pursuit.

Thanks. However I can only take full credit for the last one. The others I converted from sketchup, however the first one is heavily modified, and still needs work.

Hello everyone, I am Collin or better known as StarScream from GTA POLICE MODS. As some of you probably know for the longest time I have been in the skinning scene. But thanks to Emergency112/Dennis and Reckless I have began my journey into the modding scene. I absolutely love the EURO aspect of modding. I have actually scratch made my first ever light bar. The funny thing is I don't know the name of it. Here is my scratch made bar + some others I am working on that are not scratch. Federal Signal Vama Traffic Storm: Federal Signal Vista W/ Siren: I know this bar isn't 100% accurate but it's the best I can find. If someone had the exact model siren/speaker as seen in the speaker then perhaps I could do a better job. Unknown Light bar Used by Mossos D'Esquadra: Completely Custom: The bottom line here is I am looking for a Federal Signal Vista with the speaker in it. The one seen here is pretty boxy and bad looking. In fact when I imported it the speaker had holes in it so I had to patch them which I managed to do by a freak miracle. I am no where close to being able to make this myself. If anyone possess said light bar would you be so kind as to allow me to use it? If not that is okay as well.

Thanks for telling us what you did........
