LCPDFR is still a pain in the ass.
Automatic installers never seem to work properly when it comes to GTA IV. With the manual installation, all you need to do is copy all of the files from the download to your GTA IV folder. I've never seen a simpler installation process for any mod. The other, unexpected problems, are due to incompatible systems (i.e. XP with .NET Framework 4.5) and GTA IV just being GTA IV (the issue with the taser). All of the required programs (.NET Framework, Visual C++, etc) should already be on your computer if you keep it up-to-date, so there shouldn't be a problem there. And finally, it's a mod that is developed by 3 people (Sam, , LMS, plus testers) in their spare time, absolutely free of cost to you, excluding the purchase of GTA IV and your internet service.

GTA IV Roadblock script?
If you open vdH_PoliceHelper.ini, scroll down to this section: [ ROADBLOCK ] CustomCar = NONE // Custom car to set at road blocks. Leave blank to get cop car currently in memory. Type = 0 // 0 - random road block type, 1 - wood road block, 2 - concrete road block Accuracy = 45 // Accuracy of policemen on road block (0-100)Change "Type" to "2", that will spawn concrete barriers as the roadblock, so even though the police cars join the pursuit, there will still be a barrier.

LCPDFR T-shirt
I bought a shirt from a YouTube guy that uses Spreadshirt. I don't know how you go about selling stuff through them, but it's worth looking into. I know he has a separate shop site for North America and Europe, so I think they handle that stuff for you. Here's the links to his stores: American, European This is the Spreadshirt home page.

I'd probably buy one if there was a store.

(EFLC) "OMG" seeing buildings
Yeah, you could try that. I'm not saying it will work, but it's worth a shot.

(EFLC) "OMG" seeing buildings
Did you not get the memo about construction across the entire city? I don't know what the problem is, the only thing I could suggest is to start a new game since sometimes random appearing things is due to a corrupted save file. From my experience, they usually have the orange glow that's around pickup items, though. I do know people always seem to have problems with Icenhancer.

Chicago PD (T.V. Show)
I just hope it doesn't end up like Chicago Code did and get canceled after one season...

Chicago PD (T.V. Show)
I love Chicago Fire, so naturally I had to watch this too. I forgot about it last week, though, so I watched the premier last night. This show is just as good. I love that they had characters from Chicago Fire show up in it, too; Dawson and Shay in the ambulance, Herrmann at the police station, then Herrmann and Otis at Molly's. You kind of have to watch Chicago Fire to get the references...

"Detain on Foot" does absolutely nothing
Yes, arrest them like you normally would and don't call for a prisoner transport - say you will transport the person yourself. You can then do whatever it is you want to do. When you're done, you can aim at the person and press E (or hold E, not sure which, a message will pop up though) to release them. If you want to interact with the person you cuffed again, you will first have to release him/her.

Court Rules Against FCC's Open Internet Laws
I think the ruling is correct as well, but this is removing the whole "open internet," "net neutrality" thing that everyone likes and fights for. The problem is that ISPs will have control over what we do on the internet now more than ever. Verizon says nothing is going to change for the consumers, but I highly doubt that will be true. All companies are always looking for more ways to make money, and I'm sure over time we will have to pay more to access more of the internet. Similar to how cable is already - you can pay for a basic package and just get basic channels, or you can pay extra for more channels. With the internet, they'll be able to charge you to use certain sites now. "Want to access all your favorite social media sites? Sorry, you'll have to buy the 'social media' package for that." Hopefully that doesn't happen, but it is entirely possible now.

Court Rules Against FCC's Open Internet Laws
If the FCC wants to appeal the court of appeals' decision, they'd have to have the Supreme Court review the case. This is the whole appealing process: http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/UnderstandingtheFederalCourts/HowCourtsWork/TheAppealsProcess.aspx "The court of appeals decision usually will be the final word in the case, unless it sends the case back to the trial court for additional proceedings, or the parties ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case."

Court Rules Against FCC's Open Internet Laws
Does Congress ever get anything done? Hopefully the FCC brings it to the Supreme Court and they actually do something.

Court Rules Against FCC's Open Internet Laws
http://www.thewire.com/technology/2014/01/what-ruling-against-fccs-open-internet-laws-means-you/356997/ You can easily find other sources by a simple Google search. Basically, a federal appeals court ruled that the FCC does not have the power to require ISPs (internet service providers) to treat all internet traffic equally. What this means is that ISPs such as Time Warner Cable and Verizon will be able to block and slow down websites. This could lead to having to pay more to access certain websites, smaller websites could be slowed down and larger websites with big wallets will be sped up, and a whole lot more if this isn't changed. According to the court, only Congress has the power to enact such laws, so until they do so or they delegate that power to the FCC, ISPs are free to do whatever they want.

Vice city Rage Question?
Has anyone tested using map mods with 1.0? There's a few problems I could see since 1.0 relies more on the GTA IV map than .95, such as the road names for radio transmissions. I guess that shouldn't cause a problem, though; usually the game picks road names regardless (there is still a road name when you press the button that zooms out the radar, as well as under the radar with ELS). Try it out and see what happens, I guess. Some callouts might work, like the reckless drivers - I think they are spawned randomly. For more callouts, you should be able to use >Braveheart's Policing Script since some of them are spawned in random places instead of at a specific location. >VpCallouts might do that, too.

You're the one drinking "fool aid" for trusting all these ridiculous websites.

2 Issues
Your question about the colors in the trainer was answered a few posts up, and I believe the car lights are because of the model.

Which Graphics Card?
Here's a comparison for you: http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1863&gid2=1252&compare=radeon-r9-270x-vs-geforce-gtx-660-evga-superclocked-edition They pretty much balance out according to that comparison, I think. I'm not very good at suggesting between AMD and Nvidia, though. I would probably go with whichever you can get cheaper from a reliable seller.

I don't think GTA IV is available on Mac, but you can install Windows on it. It would barely run it, though, if at all.

vdH PoliceHelper 1.2.0 beta
It wasn't bumped, the last post before those was 2 days ago. This is still the official topic for vdH Police Helper, which is the preferred place to ask for support instead of cluttering the forums with topics. Plus the section you posted is for LCPDFR support only, not 3rd party mods. In regards to it working with 1.0, there may be errors since the mod is made to work with .95. It may never be updated to work with 1.0.

Happy Birthday gamerdanger99
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. ... Uh oh. Somebody cut the cake. I told them to wait for you, but they did it anyway. There is still some left, though, if you hurry back.
