I've had enough of this. What's wrong with the current society? Is it the media that had access to more and more resources, or is our generation just going crazy? Remember when there were no school shootings, remember when the world was a moderately happy place? Why has it come to this? Why did a "surveillance operation" escalate to the point where it's practically war? Why did an innocent young man decide to take the lives of many innocent children and teachers and then take his own? Why would someone take the lives of innocent people enjoying their movie? Why? What's going on? What's happening?! It's all too fast paced for me. I can't keep up with the corruption of our generation.

I'm pretty sure BPM doesn't make helis. Just attaches things to cars...

Yeah, I understand. Just wanted to clarify some things though because you seem to have misunderstood some things. I am not asking for people to do anything for me, I'm asking for people to help me. Show me. Not do for me. As for my little back story, I'm trying to explain why. You think if I just go and say "Hey, I'm new to scratch modeling and I need help, kthnxbye <3" will really attract anyone's attention? I also offered to trade something as well. If I came off as boasting, I apologize. I actually want to prove to people I'm not a nobody with no previous work asking or "begging" for stuff. Anyway, I hope that clarified some things.

Theoretically, all modded cars (no matter if ELS or non) will have a larger file size, which can contribute to potentially unstable gameplay. I rarely ever get the texture bug, however, when I installed 1.0, I found myself coming across it much more. You shouldn't really be worrying about vehicles or any of that messing up your game, it's more 1.0. Nothing on you devs, but it is unstable. Just to justify it isn't any of your vehicles, what I would recommend doing is going into OpenIV and looking through all your police vehicles. On the top left corner will be a polygon count. You don't really want that to go over 130k, because that's when it starts getting a bit buggy. Anywhere above there is pushing it. I did once test the limit of GTA IV, and built a 200k poly vehicle. It caused a lot of lag and I got up to 224k and then it crashed upon spawning, while running at 18fps (my average is 65fps). Hope that helped.

Haha, they come with various models. I believe the uniforms in the Code Zero Gaming Pack have some nice looking ones, just not great cars. Hope that helped.

Maybe, maybe not. I am unpredictable. They call me the Koala. Mainly because I like to eat leaves real slow and act random.

Scrimpy made one for me, and let me tell you, I haven't been let down at all. They are amazing! Keep 'em coming, bro! And never stop their production! (don't be like Ford with the Crown Vic)

Over on my Teamspeak, the latest hype is about the 2013 Taurus. I would really LOVE to make one for our clan, but I can't find any unlocked Taurae (don't judge, that's the legit plural), and I'm REALLY skeptical about scratch modeling it. Even if I were to scratch model it, I'd need people to help me and walk me through it. So far, I know the basics. I know how to make the polys with the blueprints and all, however I don't really know how to texture it properly or make it optimized for GTA IV. Is anyone kind enough out there to help me? If not, possibly doing a trade for something not too big? Like a console (I haven't mastered light bars), or something small like that. It would be so very greatly appreciated. I have had some bad models, but I've come out with 2 since the bad model epidemic, and they've all got over 4 stars. Also, I have been asked to make people's clan mods and also make various packs as I have been accredited as a 'good modder/modeler'. Thanks a lot guys, I hope I won't be let down :) Thanks so much, Mustu

Can we just keep going about this thread and stop on the 69th page? Then can we lock the thread?

I couldn't make them (I have a lot piled on my modeling to do list), but those are some pretty ugly configurations! Is that So. Cal or No. Cal?

Hahahahaha, because you would know!! EDIT: 500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh, I wouldn't become a firefighter. :P EDIT: 1 post away from 500!

The problem is, this is making it very very complex. We were blown away when we first tested out 1.0, however, we did (as a community I'm referring to) notice a larger amount of bugs than that would be usual for an initial release. For example, nothing on you developer guys, I've switched back to RC2 because of all the bugs that were encountered in 1.0. I used to crash all the time. You can't even have modded peds and the game would lag substantially more than with RC2 installed. Back on topic though, with adding all these features, there would come more bugs. See what I'm trying to say here? With more features come more bugs. As for what features you want to see that were mentioned above, I don't think the developers at Sam's secret lair can limit the amount of AI that respond, that, like you mentioned, is hard coded into the game. The developers have tried their best though, because they make you call a pursuit into dispatch in order for units to respond. So, if you're playing single player and you don't mind twisting realism a tiny bit, you don't actually need to call into dispatch, making all the other units hold off. I do agree with you on having units there already before you can even attempt to do anything, and then having the AI cops ruin the experience for you. Like I mentioned above, there's not much the devs can do in their lair, since you weren't the one who called in the pursuit. It is, however, realistic to have units there already, but I do get the point you're trying to put across - make them at least less reckless. This is another feature that's hard coded into the game. Liberty City is based off of New York. The LCPD is a parody of the NYPD, that is meant to bring out their violent side. For your issue with the roadblock, the solution lies within other mods. Try PoliceHelper or something like that, or possibly even PolicingTools. In a way, I'm kind of disappointed that the developers didn't take that into consideration. I mean, really? Spawn the roadblock at your current location? Is it not kind of common sense to make the roadblock spawn at a given waypoint? The color of the waypoint line has a workaround. >If you install the Google Maps Night Mode minimap for GTA IV, the line will be clearer and you'll get there easier. I believe it's out of their power to actually change the color of the waypoint to blue, but I believe they could change it to yellow, or something along the lines of that. Maybe even red! For your Traffic Stop Extras Again, your solution lies within the use of other mods, but I understand your frustration. After all these mods and testing them, you'd think you could search the entire vehicle, right? I guess not. There is a mod that has been released, and I think it's out of testing now (since it was in testing a long time ago when Avs was in Code Zero Gaming playing GTA IV), and I hear it's pretty stable. You can detain people in the car, but I don't know if you can question them in the back of your car. You can search your pedestrian outside of the vehicle, and when you find something on them, that's when you take them in to custody. With PoliceHelper, you can also ask for their ID, and PoliceHelper conveniently alerts you if they have any warrants or anything like that. I find the breathalyzer function with Braveheart's Policing Script doesn't actually work with 1.0! So, yes, it would only be common sense to include one, but that's a lot more work. There is a debate going on within my clan, if LCPDFR lacks features. That's your opinion though, and through this post, I'm sort of voicing mine. I, personally, don't use non-ELS cars, and if I were to discuss the feature you're proposing, this post would become an awful lot longer than it already is. Extra Command for the Action Wheel Okay, so, I did respond to lots of calls with homeless people causing trouble, and the 'evacuate area' function didn't work too well on them, or the people outside the alleyway. The evacuate feature is actually coded in the same way as a gunshot fired in public's reaction would be. When there is a big shootout, it's really chaotic. The innocent citizens are running everywhere, which does eventually get on your nerves. Again, if the devs really tried hard, they could accomplish this feature, but with that will come more bugs, which will mean more testing, which will mean a prolonged period where its release is just hanging around in the air. *breathes in*, I hope you liked that and found it useful. Sorry, I just had to mention this and celebrate: I'm 2 posts away from 500! Sorry, carry on.

It's fine for me! Why don't you download v7 from here?

What I recommend you doing is going into Polygon mode and deleting the partition, but you have to do it very carefully. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest you look at some more tutorials and documentation before you start making an actual car.
