Like the title says, has anyone taken Policeman456's new cop model with the new belt and radio and such, and put a different BELT texture on it? I don't care much for the basket weave texture that is on the original release. I've combed through the ped model downloads for days and found several with different color uniforms, but they all have the basket weave belt texture. I've recently been trying to adjust the texture myself but haven't been satisfied with the results, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone had been able to make it work?

I don't see any of the officers in the video wearing tasers; I've always thought it strange that NYPD doesn't seem to have them. It greatly reduces the available outcomes for a situation like this. So, given the known circumstances, it was a good shoot in my opinion. There was no other viable option. Officer safety is priority one, period, end of discussion. If a human being ran at an officer, and that officer reasonably believed that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm, it would be a good shoot; same rule applies to animals. As much as we all may like to think of dogs as cute cuddly pets and man's best friend, it simply is not true. A dog is capable of killing a human being in seconds, just takes one good bite to the leg or neck which is what the dog naturally tries to bite. I'd much rather watch a dog lay on the street and bleed out than to have to watch a police officer bleed to death with a dog latched onto his neck viciously mauling him. That may sound cold but, welcome to the real world.

Oh. My. God. A realistic looking uniform like that with a final version of your campaign hat... I cannot even describe how excited I am at the prospect of being able to complete my departments uniforms. :yes:

As someone who experiences near death moments frequently I have to add my opinion here. Oone thing I didn't see pointed out by many people here and elsewhere regarding this video, is that the K9 officer did not fire all 10 shots. The K9 officer only fired the first 5 shots. The second group of 5 came from the other officer, who was startled by the events that just took place and likely reacted out of adrenaline rush after he was almost hit in the face with a crowbar and then heard / saw his partner begin shooting. While the second grouping of 5 shots was unnecessary, I have a hard time saying it was "excessive" based on the emotional stress of the situation and the fact that the second officer likely reacted solely out of adrenaline rush in the heat of a potential near death experience; his actions indicate rote memory response based on extensive training to me.

Question deleted. I answered my own question through playing around a bit. Thanks again for all the help, this is awesome!

It sounded stupid because I am stupid. That was the trick right there.... I wish they would include that step in the tutorials. Thanks for all your help, sometimes I wonder how I deal with noobs like me.... :-p

Ok so I've tried adding multiple shirt textures using the method described in the OP and I'm running into one problem... I'm using OpenIV 0.9.3, and I'm not finding an Import button anywhere. No button, not in a drop down menu or anything, all I see is export everywhere I look. I've searched youtube, I've read the help section of OpenIV and still no luck. Where the heck is the import button so I can import the new textures I created...

As long as I can have multiple shirt textures then I'm happy and that sticky seems way more simple than what I'm trying to do. I skimmed it earlier but I got distracted and missed the concept of adding multiple short sleeve shirts lol. Thanks for reminding me to read it carefully!

So I've started working with OpenIV, 3dsmax and gims trying to learn how to copy / paste ped models. Im trying to take the m_y_cop model (which by default has short sleeves, long sleeves, winter coat, and rain coat) and copy the short sleeve shirt over the other 3 since I never use them. If I can figure it out, it would basically mean that the model would have 4 different shirts and I could put textures for 4 different departments in and switch uniforms the same way I switch car skins. I've been playing for a few days trying to get the model copied, it seems like a simple copy/paste operation since I just want to clone an existing model instead of making something new but so far it hasn't worked for me. I'm going to keep trying to figure it out, but I thought I'd see if any of the more experienced ped modelers have already done something like this or could provide some tips about how to make it work.

Where I grew up, Police use blue lights, fire/ems use red lights. Maybe it's just because that's what I grew up with but I definitely prefer all blue lights on my police cars.

The arranged times on the website are not the only times we play. We pretty much get a game going anytime there are enough people online, which usually happens 3 or 4 times every day.

Hey Braveheart, thanks for the quick reply, and again, awesome work. If you're interesting a virtual police force you should check out Ocean View Virtual Emergency Services; that's where I'm a member. http://www.ov-virtual.org We use the island of Alderney to simulate the operations of a fictitious city called "Ocean View". Not only do we have a full police department including SWAT, Detectives, and an Aviation Unit, we also have a dedicated Fire/EMS department. If you're looking for an active role play community for GTA IV, I highly recommend you check out Ocean View. Again, great work on the police computer mod, I can't wait to see what else you can do with it. Det. Sergeant Shaw Ocean View Police Department

Braveheart, I just discovered this tool and it is amazing; I was actually just thinking today that I wished there were something like it. I do have 1 question for you, is there a way to create a private log in session with this tool? For example, I play with an active role play community in private game matches. It would be great if we could incorporate this tool into our games, but that means we'd like to only see our members in the system instead of other random players that aren't on our server. I didn't know if it was possible or would be possible in the future to create this sort of private session. Thanks again for the great work and I look forward to seeing what becomes of it.

Thanks; I was afraid that was the case. I only asked because the beta build is quite stable for me, excluding those events which seem to have a 50% chance of causing a crash especially in a multi player game it seems. No big deal, thanks for the answer and I look forward to a release build for 0.95!

Firstly, let me make it clear that this is NOT A BUG REPORT and NOT A SUPPORT REQUEST; I have read the numerous topics regarding the use of the Beta version 0.95. This is merely a question directed to the members of the community that are using the beta version. A search of this forum as well as google yielded nothing so I thought I should ask the question. I installed with the "Disable call outs" option checked through the installer but I'm still getting the random "white blip" events that occur sometimes. Has anyone in the community figured out how to disable those events as well?
