if you could change the colour of undercover cars, taht would rock

To what? Right now, the colour of the unmarked car is black. Black is cool and almost everyone like black cars.

[C.F.D]

Yes. Most police department, they keep their unmarked dark; i.e Coal, Dark Grey, et cetera.

[Newfoundking]

I don't mean permanent change, but like the option to choose light black, white, burgundy something like that. I know theres alot of scripting to that, so if thats a no, then no problem, I'll try to work on it for later

[station9emt/firefighter]

not all police agencies have dark color unmarked cars.....

that's why C.F.D said most.

I've taken the liberty of editing some of the PD vehicles as a proof of concept to see if I could edit the rear flashers as well as add the appropriate steady burn lights. What i've done is on the MX7K's, i've added red and blue steady burns to both the blue and to the special light categories, and changed the rear flashers to a pattern that doesn't conflict when you turn on the special light button. With the slicktop I added the correct rear view mirror light and edited the arrow bar, while turning off the additional lights. With the CHP vision, under blue lights the center pod is steady burn, and under special light, pod's 1 and 7 steady burn.

I didn't do a very good job, as this video will attest, but it was more a proof of concept that you, and other light editors might care to see. If nothing else, I think it at least shows that it is possible, within reason, and without having to add more then 4 or 5 lights, with half of them possibly being off depending on personal usuage.

Hey Mike,

Can you upload the prototype file of the LAPD crown vic for me please?
That file contains those light edits and I want to use them in the mod.
You can find the file in "...\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.5\Prototypes\Vehicles\03 LA Police\" and the file is called cv_lapd.e4p.
The best way to send them is using the attachment system on this forum.

Thanks in advance,

Hoppah

If possible, I hate to ask, but if you could put all the prototypes up

Why isn't the Fire Station, Police Station and the Hospital in the multiplayer version? is there a way to add those in? and also maybe a new map would be great

I think it has to do with the technical difficulties in syncing the information required by scripts to all of the connected clients.

[C.F.D]

It is not Possible due to Scripting, paths and alot more reasons.

I wish Making Scripts or " Escorts" was easy; but it's not.

Also please Post this in Central Idea, you've made a topic in a wrong place.

The addition of the Mod buildings into the Multiplayer is most likey an idea that would cause an already buggy online experience to become frustratingly worse, there are so many things that would have to work that probrably would not aside from the synchronizing of the gameplay between the computers. Aside from that, think about the simple fact of how do you control which player has control over the fire department, the helicopter on the helipad at the hospital, etc.? When you start thinking about the idea more and more you start to see how fast the idea looses it's luster due to the problems it poses without even considering the possibility of it working and how difficult it may be.

The US Secret Service was requested previously and was declined for the simple reason that they would serve no purpose to this mod other than being toys for you to look at, they would not add to the gameplay or bring anything unique to it. My understanding is that there is no desire to pursue a mission at this time related to the President, any other politician, or any other duty that would require the SS to be constructed.... Then you have the fact that an FBI 2007 Tahoe was just added into the mod and that vehicle has a new sniper rifle that is unique not just in appearance but also in abilities, you should be able to see the Secret Service really does not add much to this mod. Perhaps if this mod were the Federal mod or a mod based in Washington, D.C. it would be a practical request but this is the LA Mod and I do not believe there is much need for the Secret Service without a mission that would need them which I do not believe there will be one. You can always try the same request over at the Federal Mod, since he is doing Federal Agencies he may find a use for the Secret Service truck in his mod somewhere..

- An police suspect transport bus. When big fights break out or riots and I have 15 people that need to be taken to HQ it would be nice to have a transporting vehicle for them

Baaah, i was just about to post that. That would be quite useful for Online Play. I always use the black undercover car for prisoner transport now, but if a Prisoner Transport vehicle would be added that would be awesome..

Instead of having the vehicles ALREADY in the Fire Station you just gotta buy them first(just for online.) , as for the Medevac the person who BOUGHT the medevac would keep control of it, with the arrangements we play it's usually like this :

Player 1 : Police
Player 2 : EMS
Player 3 & 4 : Fire.
Not specifically in that order but that's how it is.

As for who has control over the Fire Department the host could always be the one who gets control over it, or how about a little vote at the beginning? or just let it pick someone random. The PD would be nice for online play because it's frustrating to always have to buy new cars and send them to HQ everytime you need to send a Prisoner to HQ.

[C.F.D]

Yes, it has been posted numerous of times; 1.6 will have a Unmarked Tahoe.
