Topic closed and warning issued. We do not tolerate childish behaviour. If something happened here, report it, if it happened elsewhere, we don't wanna hear about it.

It was true!

Yeah see this is the type of childishness that we won't tolerate here on this site, if there were an issue on this site, then it has a bearing and should be reported to the staff.  If it took place outside of this site, why are you going to bring it here? What possible positive effect can come about by spreading drama that nobody but yourselves can validate, nor take any meaningful action against?  Perhaps you don't quite understand but it's meaningless to us what transpires outside of our "realm" on this site, if it does not occur here, we should not have to be brought into the mix in regards to it. If something transpired on this site, it is then that you should report the incident so that we may address it, things like the above should never be displayed in public for all to see, again I have to ask what possible positive outcome will result?  Anyone who can be objective knows airing grievances in public, especially unsubstantiated claims of grievances will end with nothing but ill effect.

Okay guys we are back on track. Hopefully ill get some pics later on of some lights I just did. Please remember its really hard to get this modification out if we don't have enough people. If you would like to help us then please PM me.

[Newfoundking]

Eh, I wanna argue that point. My experience is the "mod teams" with bigger numbers are generally less productive and spend more time releasing nice pictures, and less time producing and release actual product. You don't need more people, you need more skills. Me, Mikey and Hoppah are responsible for the NYC mod, three of us, and I'd argue it's one of the more complex and advance english mods available, with the most original custom content in it in a while, if not ever. 

 

You don't need numbers, you need skills. I need to make that clear. 

[Corsair]

But we have three too but not all of us have skills that we need to get this mod out.

Are you still planning on using my PD skins? That would save you some time to work on other areas.

[Corsair]

Let me check with my team mates. Thanks for the help and consideration.

Yes we are! Thanks for making them!

[ThatOneIowan]

Awesome! Other than some nit-picky things with the map, the rest of the mod looks really good, too. I'll be waiting for a release (:

[Corsair]

Don't worry we will make it happen soon!

[Corsair]

I am presenting some lights I just did for the Denver mod

I like the ambulance. However, the police skin is some kinda simple. I am not saying that it is necessarily wrong but it seems weird.

Some tips to help improve your mod:

• Try not to aim for just simple reskins of my or other's vehicles. Its nice having different things once in a while. Here's some tips to vastly increase the accuracy of your units.
  • You should try to add variants and things. Best example in that pic would be for you to change out the light setup on the ambulance box. There are many light setups you can find on the internet.
  • The police crusiers could be installed with many equipment such as bama's spotlights, rambar and ALPR cameras. You have a decent selection of lightbars to choose from, cops, mine or EmC-Unit's.
  • According to Bugi, the skin looks simple. Some insight I can give:
    • I'm guessing your skins are based of these:
    • 
    • 
    • You can use my Whelen Freedom lightbar then color the lightbar according to that. Bama's spotlights and rambar are perfect for this vehicle. Everything for this vehicle is available here.
    • Your logos and decals are a bit too big and you're missing the circle decal at the rear bit behind rear window
    • The part of the rambar that wraps can be modelled very easilly
    • The rear window texture can be edited to have those bars and stuff on it
  • For the ambulance skin:
    • 
    • I'd recommend making the orange stripe wrap around the vehicle more.
    • Its missing the top stripe and some lettering
    • The LED's on the box appear to be big versions of Whelen M2's that I've released
    • A nice touch would be modelling the oval things on the hood and the horn on the side
    • Some new wheels would suffice. The front wheels in my ambulance are perfect for this role, but you could make your own.
• Now for my opinion on the map
  • It looks great and is a breath of fresh air from all of the mods using the LA Mod map
  • Although its new, it feels too European IMO. Doesn't look American to me coming from someone who's never been in America
  • You could try sourcing new North American architectural buildings into the map
  • Something really cool would be to model the actual firestation, hospital, etc in Denver.

I thought my original skins had the new Interceptors. Maybe not. Also that stupid little circle thing I couldn't figure out what that was and it's not on all their cars so I omitted it from the skins I did forever ago.

Edited: It is a seal with the Denver PD badge in the center of it with a blue line going diagonally through it, I can't find what the writing states, this is the best picture i've found of it so far.
