Hey guys - first post here.. been playing around with this mod for a past few days...
Boy was there a slight learning curve... in regards to over-looking making folders not read only, NOT BACKING UP MY GAME, before destroying it and redownloading it (harhar) and figuring out SparkIV
I was looking for something to entertain me for awhile, came across a rather organized multiplayer group on youtube... and ran to steam to download GTA IV... been awhile since I played it.
Either way... I'm here for suggestions because these mods are rather large. I want to see what you guys are using, incase I looked over something thats a nice addition - as well get any new guy questions off my chest.
Heres what I'm currently using.
LCPDFR (Latest verison)
ELS V6
Braveheart policing (Latest verison)
Police Helper
Traffic Flow
Towing Services
Medical Examiner
Heres some general questions I've got. (EDITED IN REPLIES THAT ARE HELPFUL.)
1) I don't really respond to many of the LCPDFR calls, I use Bravehearts policing when I'm looking for instant action... when I'm in a pursuit of a drunk driver, or something or that nature - I cannot use the call for backup features that LCPDFR has to offer... I understand why - but is there a way to edit the script limitations to pick up on Bravehearts?
Policing Script (BRAVEHEART) does not talk with LCPDFR script.. no support given.
2) Do I need to keep the Towing Services Scripts - since I have the helper? I'm not sure if the helper has this built into it, and I am able to use my phone that the helper supplies to tow?
YES - both scripts are maintained.
3) Will all of my current mods work correctly online - or will I need to disable/remove some when I'm ready to check out some clans?
NO - TrafficFlow mod noted to cause issues.
4) When I'm typing the name of the person I've initated a stop on... my lights, horns, and so forth will go crazy... is there a way to disable this?
NO - ELS mod conflicts with this.
5) I've noticed several people using "trainers" to disable certain keys - which is kind of a related question to #4 - anyone have additional information about this?
Unable to stop keys from interacting with keys in game. Trainer disable key features are for the trainer, and not the game.
6) Do you guys recommend a backup copy seperate for multiplayer use as compared to some more unstable scripts that you would use in multiplayer?
YES. Of course a backup of the main game should be maintained, also maintain a personal offline copy, and whichever setup is required by the clan you join online.
7) Is there a way, without using a control to make my throttle a bit more controlled... and not always wide open, or nothing?
Best option is controller... ;(
Also - I was wondering if there are any additional mods that add onto this that I've over looked for that you guys would recommend? Such as weapon replacements, uniform replacements, or first person views
Thats all I got for now...
Thanks guys.... gonna go back to watching bad socket replies for new uniform, K9 and car downloads... ;( I'll get'em at some point.
