Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

Anyone by any chance has a link to NNico's '09 Charger? Any I find is busted up.

Nah, I was talking about an '09 charger model. You know, the one with split rear lights, like this

NNico's one was better detailed than the LA mod one, and had no pre-installed accessories, which is what I need. Or maybe if there is another one you guys know..,

The LA Mod one is actually better IMO than Nnico's model. It has a much more accurate shape and captures the look of an '06 Charger much better. If you give it a bit of a reskin and some touch ups, they can look quite good.

From my personal LA mod, and no, I ain't giving it.

 

Don't fall into the gimmick that HD skin and highpoly model = good. In this game, less is more. Also, you could easilly take the LA Mod Chargers and rip the lightbars off of them. Then you're done.

Those Chargers are utterly beautiful

I know that HD skin in this game is far from a requirement. But sometimes LD skins just don't cut for a certain unit. I mean, on 512 skin, the writings I plan for charger will likely look a bit "fuzzy". And with NNico's 2k CVPI, them standing side by side it would kind of catch the eye.
Or, for example with personnel, 128 is good enough for most uniforms, but if you try to strap some camo on 128x128 LA Mod SWAT guy, it will look fugly. Probably that's the reason NGs in LA Mod have 512x512 skin and most other personnel - 128x128.

You're welcome. Those Chargers have improved skins that I resized to 1024, then added the decals on them afterwards.

 

A simple resizing and redrawing of the Charger texture is all you need. Taurus on left has 1024 vs Nnico's 2k CVPI on right.

Yeah, I know 1k vs 2k both seem good. But wouldn't resizing the texture require it's remapping?

If you keep the aspect ratio the same, the UV mapping won't be ruined. If its currently 512x512, making it 1024x1024 won't hurt. Its what I did.

Thanks for the info, that may really help me out.

Hello was browsing the internet just about this state and the state police

 

and I found a very interesting cruiser - I know it is in an older Version LA mod

 

And if you get the  permission , then you can have it as a highway patrol

 

This is an older unit but it would be nice to see this vehicle in Modification

 

what do You think about it ?

I though about that one. Let's say, for now I'm focused on making the map work and getting all kinds of units that will allow normal gameplay. Plus, for now OSP has probably the most different units of all the agencies included. Long story short - it is (one of the) first among the units that are planned to be added after the first playable build.

Damn, this car brings back memories from old NFS games

UPD:
And here is something I worked on today. Civilian model taken from LA Mod, textures redrawn into 1024x1024.
Thought small sheriff's dept couldn't go without having at least one such classic in their park

Model: LA Mod - not in credits - probably Hoppah
Textures: Wheel texture - bama1234, reworked by Ace612
               Headlights and taillights - Pumbars (for GTA:SA)
               Grille - that guy, who put up a '92 Caprice grille up for sale on EBay
               Rest - Ace612

I'd hate to sound picky but that doesnt portray a Lenco BEAR well enough. It seems too low and too wide/fat. Its front rambar sticks out way too much IMO. The side stepboards are a bit too far out as well. Whats the polycount on this model btw?

 

Some of it seems based off of the LA Mod SWAT Rescue 2. The lights and LED's seem to give that impression. The hood shape also seems quite similar to Rescue 2.

 

Some hints to making a better BEAR model:

Taken from my cancelled vehicle set.

 

I'd make the proportions narrower and taller. As of right now, your model looks more like a bank armored truck rather than a SWAT tactical vehicle. The headlights also are missing the covers on them and are supposed to be recessed deep in the square part. It might be preferable to reduce the extension on the stepboard to make the vehicle look less fat. The wheel arch could also be reduced along with that.

 

I'm assuming this is what you're aiming for. Note how tall the thing is next to a hooman being. The wheel arch is in a half pentagonal shape and not that round as seen in your pic. The front bumper that goes downward could also be extended a bit. The overhang on the roof over the windshield also seems a bit drastic. It should be trimmed a little. You're also missing the two gun ports underneath the rear windows. There also seems to be too little distance from the front passenger doors to the rear box extension where the rest of the stuff is.

Reminds me of an older GMC armoured bank truck 😁 still looks good though, but there is room for improvement like itchboy said.

Yeah, I know it's quite misproportioned. Probably would be rescaled in the (near) future, but for now it is just a "better than LA Mod"-kind of model. I mean, the LA Mod ones are a bit too small. Thanks for input, anyways.
