It seems pretty high-poly, at about 1600 polys. It won't get much higher than that, though (nearly done, mesh-wise).

1600 polys is not near the maximum. If you don't care about people running Pentium 3s, then you are fine to go up to 4000.

Oh, regarding the possible Vauxhall Vectra police car, I think you may have seen a Skoda Octavia and mistook it for a Vectra ;) They don't look so different. No mod news until tomorrow though, sorry!

Correction there, you can go up to 15 000, thanks to MikePI. :)

If you're talking to me here, I'm pretty sure it was a Vectra.
In fact, 100000% sure, because I saw it again yesterday, and got a good long look at it. :)

The Freedom Of Information thing that WM Police sent to Forensics doesn't mention anything about Vauxhall Vectras. I don't think they have them.

It could have been from another police force instead, and next time you see one why don't you take a pic and upload it so we can see.

Where did you see it?
That FoI list is only for in and around Birmingham.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I don't feel that was off-topic, because we are trying to get West Midlands Mod to have realistic vehicles so it can be realistic as possible. It is all part of planning, for future reference ;)

Also, I found out what the actual roof ID codes mean. The official website for the WMPS strongly implies that the different codes (LetterNumber) on the roof show what station the vehicle comes from.

Below is a link to the source of that information, and the different codes for the various stations.

http://www.west-midl...uk/np/index.asp

This means that either I need to base the map on somewhere real, or I have to make up my own station code. It's quite complicated because this now means that I may well have to script the dispatch system so that cars called from the map are all different with different roof codes.

However, it shouldn't be so bad. I think I may centre the map around the Kings Heath High Street. I think it's a great location for this game.

First off, as its in the city (with Central London-like traffic on the High St.), car chases almost never happen, so that gives a nice explanation for EM4's lack of car chases. Secondly, it has a big crime every now and then - armed robbery, stabbings, etc. Thirdly, it's very close to where I live, so its not a problem if I need to go and get resources for making the map.

Also, a reason no ARVs were on that FOI fleet list - this idea also explains why that armoured Land Rover was seen in Staffordshire and in the West Midlands. Perhaps we don't have enough gun-related crime around here to justify the West Midlands owning its own fleet of ARVs, so when we do need them we just borrow one from Staffordshire.

Expect some mod updates + screenshots throughout this weekend :)

And yes, I am going to change the medical bag.

Oh, and don't expect any missions, not even for 0.9, maybe for 0.99 but I doubt it.

I doubt that, just the town of Shrewsbury has 2 ARVs.

Looking forward to updates. :)

Thanks. To ensure every mesh gets put in-game correctly will be a tad tedious. I'll probably end up messing it up, maybe I'll forget to import one of the meshes into ZModeler (that's almost the worst one, because then I have to try and get it scaled to the same scale as the rest of the meshes).

Not sure about the colour of the middle part of the roof though. Might actually be red.
