About the police computer, that's normal, LCPDFR uses another interface than the original provided by Rockstar.
For OpenIV / SparkIV, I prefer Spark for daily use, but when I need something more specific and powerful I use Open.
Just try both, you'll know which one you prefer, as the other said they are quite similar after all.
Don't be terrified, remember to make backups and everything will be ok, if you do something wrong it will just crash the game or alterate some datas, your computer won't explode ^^
edit : mods that I use, if it can help
I'm sorry, I can't help more ^^ I don't remember if other guys fixed this issue too.
And the models are locked, so I guess you can't do something like "reverse engineering".
Hi buddies, Rockstar Games launched a competition today : http://www.epsilonprogram.com/
Kifflom/Epsilon is a parody of a sect in the Rockstar universe.
The information is also available on the official Rockstar newswire.
Follow the rules, provide a photo, and maybe you'll be featured in GTA V.
If you want your face in the streets of Los Santos, try it. And good luck.
Forget Winrar, use something like 7zip which is really free and as good.
LCPDFR installer uses an archive icon because it just extracts merged files to the right place.
Well, download and install an archive extractor like 7zip or another one, and try again.
I'm not sure that you need an archive extractor because Windows already includes one (a poor one but it can handle simple tasks).
You can also try to use the compatibility mode (right click on the file, properties, compatibility, choose Vista if possible, or XP).
You can try to right click and select "solve compatibility issues" something like that, sorry my system is not in english.
If it doesn't solve the problem, check if you have all the required components like .NET Framework 4 Full and Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.
You should have them if your Windows is updated and if you have other games installed. Check in your installed programs. If you don't have them use the links above.
Have you the same problem with other exe files ? Are you on Windows8 ?
No, you don't really need 8GB of RAM. Of course it would be great, but that's not an obligation, see my specs on my profile.
But if you can, upgrade your Windows to a 64bits version, because you have 4GB of RAM but 32bits only uses 3GB.
The problems on your PC are : too weak CPU, too weak GPU (the Gforce610 is a Gforce520 with a new name, a low end graphic card, nVidia do this often, AMD too, but less often).
LCPDFR itself is not an issue, but try to remove some scripts like ELS, DAS, and try to tweak a bit Braveheart policing script (I assume that's the one you're talking about).
They need some resources and your PC can't handle that well. Almost ELS I think.
EDIT : I forget : try some low-poly cars instead of huge packs.
When you can, buy (build yourself it's cheaper and greater) a good gaming PC. There's in our forums.
Ha, the daughter, I don't remember. Yeah I understand for the proper kids as you say.
One thing is that in movies we see kids murdered or injuried, that's shocking but they do it.
Video games editors don't take the risk to do that as well. Is that because video games are not seen as an "art" like cinema ?
Or because the spectator is also the actor ?
I don't say that we have to see kids in violent video games, but it's more like a "debate" about the consideration of the video games.
But I can't express myself well enough in english to begin a "debate" like that, and it's pretty off-topic ^^
EDIT : it reminds me of the first Max Payne game, with the dead baby at the beginning.
Jason ? Yes he looks like an adult. The one in GTA V trailer looks younger by the way, but yeah it's a teenager not a kid.
Anyway I don't think that R* will put children, it's too risky and a lot of people will be shocked, even if there is a god mod for kids.
I don't know how they'll manage dogs if they are really included in GTA V as seen everywhere. PETA and a lot of other associations will be mad.
Yeah it would feel weird anyway, so that's not possible for a game like GTA.
But in cutscenes, why not.
In GTA V one of the protagonist has a kid, 16yr I think, and he his is on mission with us, we can see it in a trailer, don't know what Rockstar is doing about that.
Maybe I'm wrong, I don't remember well, I'm not that interested about GTA V for the moment.
If and only if the kids are in kind of "god mod", can't be shooted or any other damage, that would be a plus for realism, some games have it, like Skyrim.
I'm not a monster or something else, but a big living city without children and animals is a bit strange for me. But as it was said, GTA is not that realistic and is too much violent, so it doesn't really matter...
But anyway it's not to the modders to put kids on that game, they'll go in jail in a minute if they do this.
I try to imagine that due to high criminality, they are on a big island with only children and wonderful blue and pink butterflies everywhere around the school, and when they are 21yr they can live in LC.
What ? I'm not crazy, ask to my imaginary friend if you don't believe me !
My pleasure :)
You can also go to the trainer options ingame, disable the keys, and save to the ini (still ingame options), but I prefer to tweak the ini file directly.
EDIT : thanks for the +1
Disabling Simple Native Trainer keys :
KeyBindingsDisabled=1 //Key Bindings (except menu keys) disabled on startup
Line 576 on my SNT TBoGT, line 574 on my SNT GTA IV, with notepad or notepad++ just search "disable" or "keybindings" and you'll find it quickly.
Photoshop (CS4, don't have the money to upgrade), but I use GIMP (free software) sometimes, almost when I'm on my Linux laptop.
So if you don't have money, use GIMP, it's really powerful and not that hard to learn.
You can also use Paint.NET or PhotoFiltre but I really don't like them at all. Personal taste.
Thanks, but don't worry it was quick and simple to do this one.
Don't forget that I still can't upload it without model author' permission ^^
I'll tell you when I have an answer, stay tuned.
Texture like the Corvette you linked.
A bit blurry on the screenshots, because I'm tweaking some visual settings and was in Medium quality.
I just verified on High settings and the texture is ok.
In "vehicles.ide", try to change the Frq and MaxNum values to "1, 0," like this :
zombieb, zombieb, bike, ZOMBIE, ZOMB, VEH@BIKE_CHOPPER, NULL, 1, 0, 0.1970, 0.1970, 0, 4, 1.0 ,0, noboot
Don't know if it works for multiplayer.
Hi, welcome on the forums.
Yes it's the wrong section, you should post here.
Anyway, I had nothing important to do so I've made the texture, but I'll upload it only if the author of the model allow me to do it.
I sent him an email, waiting for his answer. Texture is finished but I haven't tested it ingame, but it should be ok.
Don't forget to ask to the authors before requesting skins, some authors don't allow modifications, even if it's just a skin.
Sure, I guess that it's mainly Impala for the Aux.
Even if I like the Merit, I don't use it because I didn't find a good model, except the one from LtCaine, but it crashes. Maybe when Pedro will release his awaited pack.
So I mainly use the Cruiser/Buffalo duo. By the way, the Charger from the movie is stunning (great movie too, french title is ridiculous as often : "Metro 123").
Anyway, if you can make this livery for the Buffalo, that's great, but I don't want to give you more work, so if you don't have time, I'll try to do it myself based on the one for the Merit or the Cruiser.
