Thundersmacker's Workshop

[JoeVK]

This is definitely replacing the Merit cruiser! Unless you do a Noose version.

[Thundersmacker]

You could just replace the NOOSE cruiser with a LCPD car seeing how normal LCPD officers drive the NOOSE cars. That's what I did with my game, I replaced the NOOSE Patriot with my Ranger and the cruiser with the TBOGT Police Buffalo.

[JoeVK]

All this time, and I never thought of doing that. And my parent's told me I was smart.

 

BTW: Any chance of getting a variant with the Noose cruiser's light bar on it? Just to mix things up a bit?

That's too bad there isn't going to be a 90's livery. I would've loved to see how it looks.

[PhillBellic]

Making progress on the Police variant of the Premier, I'm using the default modern LCPD livery to start. The wheels are just placeholders right now, I'll be trying to make replicas of the 9C1 Caprice steelies to put on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It needs badges badly.

Most EFLC cars need proper badgings so badly. Just look at F620 and Tampa.

 

I believe the Tampa has badges on the back, I also added badges to the F620 as a personal mod aswell.

 

 

Here some ingame progress pics of the Police Premier.

 

 

 

 

Notice the new replica 9C1 rims, I think they turned out great.

 

 

Thunder', you've made this Officer proud.

 

With proper UV Mapping (including the License Plate/s), it will be even better, and allow for better customisation.

You first have to find someone willing to do that, because almost if not all good lore-friendly police modders have shifted to V or stepped out of modding.

Like I said a few posts back, I will be providing a "unlocked" editable model with the mod so you can go crazy with any changes you want to make to it.

[JoeVK]

But...but...but I don't want to do it myself.

 

 

[Thundersmacker]

I just wanted to let you guys know that the Police Premier is finished, it should be uploaded this weekend.

Note to self:F5 your 4-Mods page like crazy Saturday.

Pfft I'll just write a program that checks if he has uploaded a mod lol.

You doing that reminds me of this:

It may sound nitpicky, but is the upper blue stripe supposed to be thicker than the bottom one?

It is a little small on the bottom, that's the side effect of using the car's mesh to make the livery instead of a full UV-map.

[JoeVK]

lOOKS GOOD TO ME. gOODBYE nOOSE CRUSIER.

 

Lol oops, capslock.

 

Looks good to me. Goodbye Noose cruiser!

[PhillBellic]

WOOT!

 

Will this be part of an Expansion Pack, CP?

[GreenAid]

Yeeeeeeess!!

[gts.]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

[Thundersmacker]

That looks incredible _CP_, fits in the game like a glove.

[PJR_4015]

Aww yiss. An LSPD version of it based on the LAPD caprice would be even more awesome.

[86DX]

f*cking A, knew that'd find it's way to V sooner or later.

[unbid]

-snip-

This should give the Stanier a run for it's money.

[JoeVK]

It should, realistically. The old LT1 powered '94-'96 9C1 Caprices accelerated quicker and had a higher top speed than the Crown Vics (even the Crown Vics made after the Caprice died). The local sheriff's department mostly uses Chargers and Explorers, and a few Crown Vics. But there are two deputies who still drive '96 Caprices because they refuse to drive Fords or Chryslers, and the county won't get them new Caprice PPVs.

Why do they refuse to drive a Ford or Chrysler?

[86DX]

Brand loyalty.

[Thundersmacker]

That's exactly why I replaced the NOOSE cruiser in my game with the Premier, it's pretty cool making it so that the LCPD keeps their old reliable cars for more intense chases.

Aren't there some PD's that rebuilt their Caprices when they reached the end of their Service Lives?

I remember reading somewhere about a place that did rebuild old Caprice's for Police, but I can't remember who or where it was.
