Vapid Stanier Police Cruiser Federal Signal Vector [ELS] v1.2
by Naruto 607

View this file in Fullscreen mode.

My first Stanier police cruiser for GTA IV using Ekalb's Enhanced Cruiser as a basis made with different lightbar and ELS v8.5 compatible.
The lightbar is Federal Signal Vector with low-poly, made compatible with ELS v8 by Kinksta100, released under permission by F5544.
This cruiser follows-up the NOoSE Cruiser by removing the indicator lights located at the top rear of the default lightbar and replaced with tail lights used by NOoSE Cruiser (as I happen to found that removing it will remove the rear indicator lights located near the tail lights).
I have added several world objects in the cruiser to decorate it, thus adding a bit realism to the game, having it similar to the mock-up P71 CVPI and modern CVPI.
I was hoping to enhance the mod further, but this is the best I can do. Ekalb has provided his mod (Vapid Cruiser Vector by EKALB) open for everyone to encourage the modding community, so I'd like to say, without him, this mod will be impossible.
By perspective, it is indeed similar to default IV police/NOoSE cruiser, but the difference is the lightbar.


Installation:

Assuming that you have the latest version of OpenIV (which is intended for GTA V), you can start working immediately by opening it. If not, download one from http://openiv.com/.
Make sure that you have installed ELS-IV v8.51 by Lt.Caine before proceeding. Note that this is an ELS-enabled vehicle that uses DROT (DRO1) primary lighting system. You can install this without ELS-IV, but I'm afraid IV siren rotators that used in this primary lighting may or may not work properly.
If you do not want to use the function of ELS-IV, you can download the same mod with non-ELS compatibility.
If in case you are experiencing taxi bug and popping-in textures, install a taxi bugfix such as TrafficLoad, TrafficControlSystem, or RIL.Budgeted.

1.	Open OpenIV and select either GTA IV or EFLC, depending on the game platform you have installed.
2.	Enable Edit Mode.
3.	Open models\cdimages\vehicles.img.
4.	Extract the archive to Desktop or any folder that you can easily remember.
5.	From the extracted archive, open Model folder and drag-and-drop police.wft and police.wtd into OpenIV.
6.	Close OpenIV (you can use Archive Defragmentation to rebuild the archive, but you don't need it as OpenIV automatically saves it as soon as you import it).
7.	Place Stanier Cruiser Vector.ini to ELS folder of your game dir, open _SLOTCONTROL.INI and replace the whole [POLICE] string with this one then save:


[ POLICE ]
Status = on
File = Stanier Cruiser Vector

8.	Please use the original IV handling as this mod uses the default police cruiser (in GTA V is called as Vapid Stanier) (or you can use Realistic Driving n' Flying v1.3 mod by Killatomate).
	Open vehicles.ide and replace the police string with this one (it uses the default one with added "+livery" at the end) and save:
police,		police,		car,		POLICE,		POLICE,		VEH@STD,	VEH@STD_RI1,		100,	999,		0.2345, 0.2345,		0.1,	2,	1.0	,1,	ext_requi+ext_strong+livery

9.	Start up the game, have fun!

If you do not want to have Ultrastar domelight on top of the Vector lightbar when extra_10 is spawned, I've provided one model in "without Ultrastar" folder. Just place the .wft file as normal from that folder.

I am not responsible for the misuse of this mod for anything unlawful and immoral acts.


Bugs:

If you see this glitched police car on the road that's an error. A chance of this will be a game crash later on.
Idk what caused this, but if you spawn first this police cruiser, this bug will gone.
If you wish to avoid car spawning and minimizing error chances of this, use the alternative version without Ultrastar domelight.


Notes:

This car mod has extra_10 that can spawn dome lights near the rear windscreen and Ultrastar domelight on top of the Vector lightbar, with additional of Sapphire Light Controller in the car.
Though it may look unrealistic, I do use this so that it can be used in airport or Stockade Escort purposes.
I wish if somebody can make a FlyUS skin or Gruppe6 skin for this Vapid cruiser that has been a law enforcement icon since GTA IV was released...

If I'm missing one single author who owns the developer files I am adding into this cruiser, please let me know via PM or mail so I can address this immediately.
Some of the dev mods are advised to release when placed to car in locked condition. That's what they supposed to be because their disclaimer stated so. If you violate the disclaimer I made, not only you will get into the trouble, but also me, so READ CAREFULLY.



I hope this mod works on everyone as I did this with heart and imagination. Liberty City is a fictional city of New York; anything might happen.
Enjoy!
