I have recently (aka two days ago) figured out how to re-skin automata in SC4. And believe you me, i went to TOWN with that stuff!
My version of Swamper77's mods
I started off with making a yellow version of Swamper77's American fire vehicle mod.
The rural fire unit works fine:

The ladder unit works too:

Rescue Unit 1 works...

...but only if I have your Automata Essentials file in my plugins folder (I emptied it so that the game would load faster, and I forgot to keep that from being moved)

The Pumper looks strange. That is only because when I was turning the PNGs into a FSH file, I changed them into the DXT1 format instead of the DXT3 format. I have fixed the problem but I haven't had a chance to test the updated version in-game, and Ilive's Reader isn't the best method of showing such things.

I am also in the process of making a different version of the ambulance that came with your Euro emergency vehicle pack, but it is still in the PNG editing phase, so I don't have any in-game pictures. A preliminary description is that it will have a red-and-yellow stripe along the side. I haven't started on the Euro fire van yet, or the ladder unit, but I intend to do something with them, possibly turn them yellow, possibly something else.
I have also noted that there is a function to export automata models into 3DS files, which I may use with the plugin manager to turn my new vehicles into props...
I have attached a zip with all the fire units on the last page of Swamper77's Garage (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=171.msg155432;topicseen#msg155432).
My version of Peg's cop cars
I am planning to release a BLaM/Peg NYPD cop car that does not have the number on the trunklid (because all the cop cars have the same number) and red lights on top like real NYPD cruisers. (I have changed the lights already, and have an in-game image, but I haven't changed the trunklid number yet; it should be easy)
Also, I edited the blue-and-white SCPD cop car so that it has a more realistic light on top (But I still can't make it 3D) and instead of SCPD on the side, it has the emblem from the "BLack and White with Seal" police car, because SCPD implies that every city that uses this police car design is called SimCity, whereas with my version it doesn't have any reference to a particular in-game police department.
Here is my (partially) updated NYPD police car in-game, magnified by the SizeOf cheat:

I will post an update picture as soon as I can remove the car number from the trunklid.
I thought I had an in-game picture of the blue-and-white police car, but I don't so i took a screenshot of the car in Ilive's Reader:

My Own Stuff
And finally, I have made a blue police car with a white stripe:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi220.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd138%2Fnerdly_dood%2FBluecopcar.png&hash=0d3cd5406495d04d31a70f63d38f8de9835ab076)
And I have also made a Spanish National Police car (Policía Nacional de España):
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi220.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd138%2Fnerdly_dood%2FPoliciaNacional.png&hash=e5b9964c487cd072624c447b4c523bcd96054447)
I am aware that Fukuda lives in Barcelona; someone could possibly notify him of this car so he can give me pointers on realism and such. Sadly, I cannot change the model, so I cannot make it into a hatchback like National Police cars are in reality.
I have attached a zip with the blue cop car and the Spanish police car. I did not include the blue-and-white police car because I haven't received an answer for my permission request, and I didn't include the NYPD cop car for the same reason, and also because it isn't done.
IF YOU FIND THE SLIGHTEST PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY MODS, NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY!

I bought a model Spanish National Police car on my Spring Break trip to Spain, which is what I used as my template; and also I have seeen that particular design when I was there in addition to the dark blue paint job. I cannot, however, modify the model to make it a hatchback. I am about to upload to the STEX now...
WoW Nerdly I am impressed here seeing yellow trucks even though I am a die hard fire engines are red fan lol these look very good!!! Make sure you have proper permission from Jan and Peg if you can upload the modified versions...
NB: I seen you already gotten permission from Jan but also as he said make sure you got the updated version to make them fit right.... also dont forget to make a readme....
That was quick work for two days worth. It seems like you did a good job on those. I know you may not be able to change the model, but the light bar looks a bit off (though that is really a cosmetic thing). I would be interested to know if there were any particular tutorials you used to figure this process out. I have one or two ideas (SF style cable cars) but don't want to pester anyone to do them. Plus it would be good to learn it myself. Good work.
There are thousands of cable cars out there, and none of them are like the ones near where I live...because there are none where I live! All there are is a bunch of coal trains...
Okay, so here's the deal. I have TWENTY-SEVEN police cars that need to be tested! They are in the following categories:
Blue
-Blue cruiser with the word 'police' in small type inside a break in the white stripe
-...with a gold star that doesn't get hit with the flip bug on the other side of the car
-...with a small gold star and the word 'police' real big so you can REALLY tell that it's reversed on one side
Blue and white
-Similar to PEG's SCPD cruiser but without the SCPD, instead with a gold star
-...with the PEG police car seal
-...with the word POLICE but no star or seal
Brown sheriff
-Blue lights with the worD 'sheriff' and a small gold star (gets reversed on one side)
-Blue lights with a gold star, doesn't get reversed
-Red lights with both above options (two separate cars)
Generic international (White car with a blue stripe)
-Blue lights, a gold star on the door, and a plain hood
-Blue lights, a gold star on the door, and the word 'police' on the hood
-Blue lights, a gold star on the door, and the word 'policia' on the hood
-The same options with the PEG seal on the door
-All of those options with red lights (adding up to a total of 12 cars)
One particular police department (To be released one-by-one)
-Spanish national police
-Las Vegas, NV police
-Chicago, IL police
-California Highway Patrol
Also, I have a small mod made that is only ONE of Swamper77's American fire vehicles, and it is the replacement version of the rural fire truck, with an ORANGE paint job. In addition, I need to re-test the yellow fire trucks, and I re-skinned his Euro emergency vehicles to give them more details like stripes and text. (Due to the way he has modded them, this text does NOT get reversed on one side of the vehicles)
What I have planned that I am willing to tell you about that I haven't started yet:
-Virginia state police
-Washington, D.C. Metro police
-Michigan state police
-Thames Valley, England police
Once I have finally tested and uploaded all my mods that are currently in development, I have an idea that has been in my head for a long time, but I refuse to tell you what it is... until I have the first one in the set done. (They will be released in a single set.)

Hehe...good luck getting away...:P
I've never really seen yellow firetrucks...is there an American fire department that actually uses yellow on their trucks?
@ Godzillaman: Yup, there are a lot of them, but they aren't very common. Roanoke County VA has yellow fire trucks, but Roanoke CITY has red ones, as does most every place around here other than roanoke county. Salem, VA has red ambulances and red fire trucks, too, but the way Swamper77 has his American ambulances set up it will take a bit of fiddling to get them done right.
@ Swamper77: Modeled does seem better, considering that in the wireframe view in the Reader I can see a separate rectangle where the emblem overlay whatchamacallems are... ;)
Godzillaman and would you belive it if I said there are white trucks, blue, and even black trucks too ;D
Yup, i've seen white and black fire trucks too! (But only online looking for ideas)
A more detailed description of what I intend to do for fire vehicles is available HERE (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=171.msg156388;topicseen#msg156388).
EDIT: Oh yeah, I think I should add something to the post above listing a bunch of police car stuff: I posted that to say that I'm kinda overwhelmed by what-all I have to test. If you are willing to test something, PM me or email me or whatever, but I recommend that you mention what exactly you want to test, because if you don't I'll send you EVERY cop car I have made so far for you to test.
EDIT 2: I have fixed the Chicago police car now, it is ready to be...tested.
CPD is ready well then send it my way and I'll get stuff tested away!!!
PM sending in, like, 5 seconds... ;)
Well, I can't attach files to a PM, so here's what the PM said:
You asked for it, and more importantly, you specified which one you wanted... So here ya go, it's my Chicago police car. I HIGHLY recommend reading the README also attached. (You might want to turn off fixed-width fonts, cause it's a .txt file and it's long)
Good thing I can attach files somewhere... :D
LoL Nerdly there is also www.fileden.com to upload stuff to...
NB: Tested and so far I didnt need to change any of the PD that was there in my city and the UDI Works...

Today I tested all of them, and all of them except the ones that I tried to give a double-light effect worked fine... I copied the blue light effect from Swamper77's Euro fire truck and put it in the police car DAT file to see if that would give the car two rotating light effects, and the lights ended up rotating above the headlights, and the car was very similar to the image Pat posted above. (It was the generic police car with blue lights, a blank hood and a star on the door)
And of course I forgot to put the images on my flash drive... So I can't upload to the STEX now; I'll upload tomorrow....
All I have left to do, other than experimenting, is make the English police car the Washington DC police car, and Michigan state police; everything else is done and ready...for me to go and get pictures for.
I know i'm double posting, but this is a very necessary update.
Okay, so finally I have gotten some pictures of my police car mods. I have, at last count, THIRTY-ONE cars made, and that's just the police cars! I have two more to do, and two more that are done that i need to test in SimCity. The ones that I have done are shown below.

Swamper77 has offered me some light models to use in these cars. I should mention that once you first download the cars this afternoon, it will be about a week before they get a major light-model update which will make the first version obsolete, except the Michigan state police car, which uses a red bubble light, so I'll just use the Maxis light model for them.
you do work hard don't you :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Exellent :D
The reskin of Swamper and PEG's cars and Truck was a very good idea, the result is awesome &apls. I hope to see some European Police cars as good as those :thumbsup:.

Thank you Feroxx for this correction. Is this yet another EU standardization? Or perhaps the Polish colour scheme is being copied? Well, let me rephrase my request: I'd like a retro green-and-white yesteryear German Polizei car skin.
Ferox showed new paintings of polish police cars. I will show older, maybe it will be made? :P

Unassigned - Yes it is UE standardization, police cars should be painted silver/white and blue scheme.
The French Police car one TSC is nice BUT, unfortunatly, it's a Crown Vic'!!! Not realy realistic!!!!

I would type more, but my hands are tired from typing s a big response, and when i tried to move the computer so i could plug in my flash drive to save the webpage...the computer got unplugged :'( so consider your requests answered, but please lighten up with the requests.

Okay, so I have a request pack ready for uploading to the STEX. It contains:

- German:

- Hungarian police
- Polish police (Silver and blue, top of page 2)
- San Francisco, CA police
- Vice City, GTA police
Also I have several others that nobody has asked for but I made anyway. (I will soon be relying on requests as I run out of ideas...)

Friendly Greetings! :thumbsup: :)
Hey enncore
Thought I did answer this. This is a link (http://www.simcitycentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117) to SimCity Central of the Dutch Civic Vehicles, I don't think the police car is a focus but the stripes and colours are all in the right places :) If I remember correctly, you'll need to register to download, but its free and simple - have fun!
Enncore, with all the stuff you have produce here, I will make my first dutch Police car!
Now, where are my scissors ()what().....
Thanks for taking the request! The police cars sure look great!!! $%Grinno$%
Yeah, there is already a set of Dutch vehicles available.
Also, the sheriff car (which will have blue lights in my mod, not gray LEDs that shine blue) is on my list, as are your Pompano Beach fire trucks. ;)
As far as current developments go, I have found a way to :
- Re-skin the Maxis ambulance (My preliminary skin sucks btw)
- Re-skin the Maxis police van (My preliminary skin isn't bad, but it shows me something interesting about the way the skin works)
- Re-skin Swamper77's American ambulances, and
- Turn Swamper77's American ambulances into American police vans,
all in one wide-sweeping help request, thanks to Andreas.
EDIT: MEGA-PACK 2 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19960) is on the STEX, and so is Request Pack 1 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19956), and here's MEGA-PACK 1 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19954).

Oh man, thanks a ton! I can't wait to see how these look.
@ Encore: Your Dutch civic vehicles are HERE (http://www.simcitycentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117).
You deserve a big TY :thumbsup:, soo here I go :
THANK YOU
LOVING your work mate! Now how about this for another wide-sweeping request.....
Forgetting the actual paintjob for now, is it possible to make packs similar to swampers Fire Trucks, where you have say 3-5 additional UDI Police Vehicles in the same paintjob as the default sedan...say, in addition to the patrol car, have VAN, MOTORCYCLE, SUV/4WD and an unmarked patrol car (say in black, or even a random colour, with a light in the front and rear windscreens and possibly a small one on roof)?
Also, forgive me if Cycles arent even an UDI option, however I have no CD drive at the moment (away on warranty) so I couldnt fire the game up to confirm or not. YES I am having withdrawls especially with all these new toys to drive!
Anyone who could do this feel free to reply! Then we can get down to paintjobs haha
ONCE AGAIN keep up the OUTSTANDING work! &hlp &hlp &hlp
That's a cool idea Sgt Soul I know theres a motorcycle in the game, I'd like to see a drivable hummer. But this guy has enough on his plate, I'm not gonna ask for anything now.
I can't make any new models or make any additionals, however, Swamper77 is working on a smallish pack of police cars, and a separate pack of fire chief's cars. I can only re-skin vehicles and move some files around so that they work properly (like rearranging Swamper77's DAT files for his ambulances to create a single DAT file for my version, which turns the ambulances into a police van without affecting your in-game ambulances, which I attached below - WARNING: NO README!) I would certainly like to do thta, but it's complicated enough doing what I have done so far. SW77 is the MASTER of automata, hence his CML "BSC Grease Monkey", but he is NOT fond of requests, let me tell you.
Oh, and about the Hummers... I could probably come up with something to replace your police van, you know, MikeSeith has made a H2 model, and that would be easy enough to make a police vehicle out of. ;)
I may actually make Enncore's Dutch civic vehicles, you know... Zwanneman's mod uses Maxis models and doesn't change the light effect to match the lights on the vehicles, but I have access to more realistic stuff to use, so perhaps there will be a pack of updated vehicles, using Zwanneman's as a template, but using Swamper77's and others' models... ;D (This includes Swedish, Dutch, UK, Polish and Russian civic vehicles, and I hope to use whatever police car model in each country that they use in RL - like a station wagon for UK and a hatchback for Dutch etc.)
Also, I have a large pack of black and white American police cars in the making, but I need to be careful that I don't go and make something identical to something in Peg's cop car mod, which is why I WILL NOT make a single police car that is black and white with only Peg's emblem on the door and no text to easily distinguish the two, but I will have some cars with a smaller version of the emblem and the word POLICE. I have gotten a lot of demand outside this thread for black and white police cars that are different from ones in the PEG cop car mod, so I figured I'd make everyone shut up umm, I mean, respond to their many requests, with a real big pack so they can choose the one closest to the one they asked for.
I also forgot that I will release a fire truck pack eventually, containing orange, yellow and white American fire trucks, as well as red American fire trucks with much less white on them, and a set of European emergency vehicles, again originally made by Swamper77, that are more detailed, as in, more stripes and text, not as in, I turned the turn signals orange or gave it back-up lights. That mega-pack will replace my current fire truck packs.
Hi Nerdly,
I've not downloaded any yet - will need to decide which ones fot best in my MD, but I am very impressed with the number you have produced, so just wanted to say "well done" and "nice job".
Good luck with the rest of your project.
Nerdly I was just makin' up ideas, by all means, take your time, I've never made an automata or anything of this nature, so I could imagine these take time.
first: thx for ya work, it's amazing

Hello nerdly, the sims of Massachusettes need your help. With the victories of the sox and celtics this year the population of Boston has been behaving out of control. With your help, law and order can be restored with the addition of Boston and state cruisers on the scene. (pics attached, if I did it right). Seriously, no rush if you can even do these and regardless, love the uploads and with the startup manager I can have a different cruiser in every city of my region, tanx again & keep em coming. Jaatt.
Wow! very good :thumbsup:
Jeez, people, don't you have ANYTHING to request? All I have now to do is whatever transit-related mods I feel like doing (I am working on a SAM replacement texture set but I don't have any pictures yet), a pack of orange-stripe police cars, Boston police (which I already was considering making), Massachusetts state police, and Austrian polizei... which will all be easy (but the transit mods will be boring and tedious)
Current developments:
I have made a smallish pack of "Cop Cars Through the Ages", consisting of the following:
- Two 1969 Chevy Impalas, models by MikeSeith:

And about the Broward County [Florida, I presume?] Sheriff car, well... I liked it so much that I went and made some police cars from it, too...but I CANNOT be made to use any more IMG code... Anyway, the cars based on Broward County ____ (state) Sheriff are all available with red, red and blue or blue lights. There is the gold and green stripe with the word SHERIFF on the side, gold and green stripe with the word POLICE on the side, or gold and blue stripe with the word POLICE on the side.
Also I have made an enormous pack of black and white police and sheriff cars, which are also in my Photobucket but I won't show you any pictures, I'll just make you go and see them (http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd138/nerdly_dood/Emergency%20vehicle%20mods/?start=0).
And what really takes time is getting pictures of them, which is why I just took a picture of all the designs, each with a different light model. Each design is available with each light design.
RL is kinda messing with me now, so it will be very unlikely that I will be able to make any of those international mods based on Zwanneman's stuff but with newer models and modding.
Here is something I have actually wanted for ages but forgot until your impassioned plea for more requests! I have whole city maps that are massive Military Bases, and for those I would love Military Police cars. Pretty easy, maybe just take the Australian Police car design and make the car army green? Either a sedan or SUV would be cool!

Sounds cool Sgt Soul.
MP's in America use Chevy Malibus think you could make some un-marked MP cars?
Nerdly: Freakin' sweet! Yessir, it's florida. When can I expect these to be on the STEX?
I love the Chevy Caprice !!! Very good idea Nerlly_dood :thumbsup:.
Okay so about the MPs... I could probably whip up some MP cars, that wouldn't be hard...
And Mega-Pack 3 should be on the STEX within a week or so (but I am very unreliable as far as upload dates go, it's just an estimate - so it's actually about a week, give or take a month or so)
Excellent work nerdly_dood, I like your police car and your trucks.
Go on.
Expanding on the MP idea, would it be possible for you to pleeeease make 3 different ones, one using the grey camoflage on the Maxis Cargo Airplane and one using the camoflage patterns found on the 2 Maxis Tanks that appear at Army bases? That way I can have a different one for my Royal Yeoman Marine Corps and Royal Yeoman Air Corps LOL &hlp &hlp
Once again, I bow to Nerdly! :thumbsup:

Your english is fine :) I mean it's on a .cz link Czech Republic link, it's a jet of theirs but we also have B-52's in other words, it's a different jet with a different logo, we have the same jets. I hope that explains it.
Back to the MP vehicles, the MP's here on base in addition to the chevy malibu use the dodge durango and whatever chevy pickup they could aquire.
QuoteI mean it's on a .cz link Czech Republic link, it's a jet of theirs
OK, I got it, I see what you mean but there's no B-52s in the Czech Republic. The only ones are in the USAF.
I'm pretty sure Une_ame is right, I don't know of any hot sales to foreign nations regarding the B52, its still a vital resource in the air force arsenal.

Guys, can we keep this thread in topic? This is a showcase of Nerdly's work not a chat thread about planes
Nice work Nerdly. Look forward to seeing those released on the STEX :thumbsup:
MP cars have been made (Brown, green and desert tan) and they will be released in Mega-Pack 3. However, I can't do the slightest little thing with bombers or much of anything military-oriented, but I may eventually come up with a Humvee that will replace your in-game Army truck, but If I make it it won't be anytime soon.
T1, I sent you a PM (Personal message) with a download link for your Broward County sheriff.
I don't have any in-game images of the MP cars, but I could show you some screenshots of them in the Reader. (The white things on the corners DO NOT show up in-game so just ignore them.)
Also, about the Austrian police cars: I spread the word POLIZEI across the front and back doors (it's not a Porsche) and I just wanted to know how you like it. (I liked it a lot so I made a version with the word POLICE on the side)
And so Photobucket is being stupid, just like myself as usual, so I have to attach your picture.
I got an issue :( the Broward Sheriff car doesn't do anything, the only thing that file does is make the lights on the PEG cop cars go blue and I did remove all the PEG cop-car stuff :(
have you looked closely at it? is it the maxis police car with blue light effects, or what?
Okay, so now Swamper77 has shown me a website where I can get almost ANY model I want! I just need to open the .3ds files in Gmax and figure out how to decrease the poly count, and then I can just import it into a DAT file and GO with it! (I think...)
()flamdev()
Or I could just tweak the current model so that its lights aren't just painted on the roof...

It's the peg white car with police on the hood and no logos.
That's a sign that you didn't properly remove the PEG cop car mod, and you have a conflicting file somewhere in your Plugins folder. You should use your computers search function for these files in your ENTIRE main hard drive:
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-Seal_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-OrangeStripe_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-BlueStripe_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_St-Lucie-Sheriff_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_SCPD_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_NYPD_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Star_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Seal_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Sheriff_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Police_205.dat
If you find any of them in ANY SimCity 4 folder (Documents or Program Files\Maxis), REMOVE IT. If you find "blue lights gold green stripe SHERIFF.dat" then you should put it in one of your Plugins folders, 'cause that's the Broward County sheriff car.
If all else fails, ENTIRELY empty your plugins folder, try my police car and see if it works, and then put half your plugins back WITH my cop car and run the game. If you get the same bug, take out half of that half and try it again, if not try the other half, etc etc etc. That's a boring but effective way to narrow down conflicting flies.
In other news, Mega-Pack 3 is almost ready for release, and should be on the STEX tomorrow.

I already have a Porsche model. I will probably add a box to the top to act like a light-bar though. And yes, you will likely start seeing more varied models. I currently only use a different model if someone specificaly asks for something other than a sedan - my current model is by no means a Crown Victoria, but I could make it one with some effort... but SW77 is making a CV police car pack which should be released soon(ish). The reason I haven't been using any Porsche police cars is that the skin is kinda stupid, just like myself -- the part that shows up as the roof of the car isn't really done well, the only part that shows is just a small part of a large white (or whatever color the car is) rectangle.

That's a sign that you didn't properly remove the PEG cop car mod, and you have a conflicting file somewhere in your Plugins folder. You should use your computers search function for these files in your ENTIRE main hard drive:
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-Seal_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-OrangeStripe_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_WHT-BlueStripe_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_St-Lucie-Sheriff_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_SCPD_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_NYPD_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Star_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Seal_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Sheriff_205.dat
- PEG_CopCar_BW-Police_205.dat
If you find any of them in ANY SimCity 4 folder (Documents or Program Files\Maxis), REMOVE IT. If you find "blue lights gold green stripe SHERIFF.dat" then you should put it in one of your Plugins folders, 'cause that's the Broward County sheriff car.
If all else fails, ENTIRELY empty your plugins folder, try my police car and see if it works, and then put half your plugins back WITH my cop car and run the game. If you get the same bug, take out half of that half and try it again, if not try the other half, etc etc etc. That's a boring but effective way to narrow down conflicting flies.
In other news, Mega-Pack 3 is almost ready for release, and should be on the STEX tomorrow.
Found the source of it all! Thanks I forgot about that stuff being in there.
No problem.
And BTW, Mega-Pack 2 is now a victim of the latest problems at the STEX - It went missing, so I had to re-upload it, and then I uploaded Mega-Pack 3...but wait... The STEX isn't really accepting any uploads lately. So you'll just have to wait until it's gotten over whatever it is that's going on, or you could just click here (http://www.savefile.com/files/1646087) for Mega-Pack 3 or PM me for Mega-Pack 2.
Mega-Pack 3 contains a pack of Austrian police cars with the new EU-regulated paint job, a pack of police and sheriff cars based on the Broward County, FL sheriff's office, a really big pack of black and white police and sheriff cars, one Bloomingdale, CA police car mod, one smallish pack of police cars with a dark blue stripe, a small pack of military police cars, a smallish (smaller than I had hoped) pack of "Cop Cars Through the Ages", a pack of orange American fire trucks, one Allen, TX police car mod, one Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) police car mod, and a pack of yellow fire trucks.

(prior to lightbar install and numbering)
Black and white police cars ara already available in MEGA-PACK 3, including ones with a badge emblem and the word POLICE. If you really insist, though, I will make one like that but FIRST I need to know the light color/pattern. Also, if I make it, it won't be released in any mega-pack or request pack because I've already done DOZENS of various black and white designs. I'm starting to turn my focus away from police cars, too.
Current developments:
- In progress:
- Police vans that will match the PEG cop car mod (Each van mod will match one of the cars in the PEG Cop Car Mod)
- A mod to replace the STUPID PINK CONVERTIBLE with your choice of a red, blue, green or gray sedan, or with a Jeep. (I haven't decided on the colors for the Jeep yet)
- Police cars:
- Knoxville, TN
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Annapolis, MD
- Florida state patrol (or highway patrol or whatever they call it)
- Gold police car requested by Deion30296 by way of the ST Live Chat
- OPP - Ontario Provincial Police - Both the white and the black/white designs
- Being planned:
- A mod to replace the in-game Army truck with a military-looking Jeep (Designs will include desert tan, forest green, brown, or brown/green camo)
- A school bus re-skin to have a more orangey-yellow color with several design choices:
- Completely yellow
- White roof (like most school buses where I live)
- Black hood
- White roof and black hood
- A bunch of police vans to match some police cars in my mega-packs
I think that's it... Anyway, keep the requests coming (just try to limit requests of black and white police cars)
Yup, the STEX is still broken... NO IT'S NOT! The STEX is alive!

Hopefully I helped ya. They also have Crown Vic's (the patrol car posted above your post)

Probably not the fire trucks.
I do have PLENTY of Florida HP images, though, but thanks anyway.

I think I should have clarified my school bus intentions - The only appropriate models I have available are for American buses. I would like to do other types of buees, but I don't have a suitable model for a Japanese or Belgian school bus.
I hope to release a yellow European-style ambulance, both with the Dutch diagonal stripes and without, and also a fire truck with those blue and white diagonal stripes, too.
An email I sent to my uncle who knows most everything there is to know about computers:
My laptop problems began a while back when I was at the library. The battery had run out, and as I went to the nearest power strip to plug in the charger cable, something caught on the laptop, and it fell from the chair into the floor. When I opened it up, the colors on the screen were distorted (but not the shapes) so I restarted it and everything was peachy for a while. Then after a while this situation began happening more frequently, but without any large shock like being dropped like that. A firm shake alleviated the problem for the moment, but it didn't totally fix it. I think of that as being "when the colors get stale, shake it." The computer stayed like that for a while, and then of course I got the BSOD, and that was the end of the older laptop. When I go the newer one, it worked PERFECTLY until I changed hard drives on a whim (The other laptop's hard drive wasn't the BSOD problem apparently) It worked fine until I had it at school and the friend of a friend couteously reached over during lunch and poured a small amount of iodized salt on the keyboard. Nothing bad happened after that - until a couple hours later, the cursor started behaving very erratically - bouncing around the screen of its own accord, moving in straight lines with no input from me, that sort of thing. I shut the computer down and tried scraping around the trackpoint with the only available tool: a paperclip. I didn't find any white granules. I restarted it and hoped it would work. it showed the blue IBM in one top corner of the screen and 294 336 KB OK in the other. When it showed the ThinkPad logo in the corner, though, it showed the code 8611 under 294 336 KB OK. Then it showed a CMOS box with the word ERROR and the choices TEST or RESTART. I chose RESTART and it worked fine. Things went like that every time I started it for a few weeks. Then it wouldn't get past the ERROR message - it would restart and give me the 8611 again. I then hit TEST and, experimentally chose the SystemBoard test. It ran the test, but it quit when the progress bar was about 80-85% done. Then the test box disappeared and the SystemBoard icon had a red X next to it and under it, in red text was:
DEV 086
ERR 22
FRU 0010
I don't know exactly how I found the looptest feature, or how I figured that pushing the trackpoint around while it ran the looptests would help, but for a while I would run the looptest on the System Board and it would run fine: CMOS, REAL TIME CLOCK, PROTECTED MODE, CPU REGISTERS, CACHE, CO-PROCESSOR, and when it got to POINTING DEVICE it quit and gave me the same error text as I typed above. So for a few months I avoided shutting down or restarting, preferring to have it just on Standby, and only shutting down for hardware tweaks. Then a few days ago, the screen broke and I got a big black spot on the screen along a crack, and so I shut it down, switched screens with the old laptop, and after getting past the 8611 message I found that it had the same glitch with the screen that made the colors stake, except this time it was more severe - the screen would sometimes go black entirely. I had to smack it pretty hard to get it to respond. Then even this quit working, so I took the screen off, peeled off the paper cover on the back, and made sure that everything was plugged up right. One little ribbon going from one green wafer to another seemed to be loose, so I removed it and put it back, and then put the screen back and started the computer. The screen problem wasn't entirely fixed, but it wasn't nearly as bad. But of course, there was that 8611 message. I cranked on the trackpoint as it ran the looptest on the system board for about twenty minutes, and then I just got bored with it and turned it off. Then I got the old defunct laptop with no screen and removed all the screws from the bottom, which released the keyboard and the speakers and the sheet of whatever-it's-made-of that they're attached to. I then unscrewed the keyboard from the unidentified-material plate and found that the trackpoint was also attached to the keyboard. I then pulled off a random key that was directly adjacent to the trackpoint - the H key, as I recall. There were four tiny Philips-head screws holding the trackpoint and its small little doodad under the keyboard's baseplate to the baseplate. I then pulled off the G, B, J, V, F, and N keys, and found my glasses screwdriver, and found that the screws were too tight for this screwdriver to work. So I was then unable to transfer only the trackpoint from one computer to the other. I then got the idea that I could transfer the whole keyboard/trackpoint bundle from one computer to the other...but then again, I had removed a number of keys and they weren't going to be reattached anytime soon. I am now left with no choice but to run the looptest indefinitely until it realizes that I DO have a backup "pointing device."
So I am going to be unable to make any police car mods (or any mods at all for that matter) for a while until I can solve my laotop's retarditude.
My laptop is an IBM ThinkPad 600E with Pentium II, 256MB RAM, a piece of crap 2.5MB video card, a 12GB hard drive, and once it boots, it will have Windows 2000 again.
My desktop is a custom-built job (by my uncle) with AMD Athlon64, 1gb RAM, a decent ATI Radeon x1050 video card, 40GB hard drive, and a stable evaluation version of Windows Vista Ultimate, but no internet access. Since it's Vista, I am unable to properly use FiSHMan, and sometimes the Reader acts improperly, too - so modding is out of the question.
Well, this just caught my eye on the STEX, sorry to hear about your laptop, I hope everything works out there Nerdly.
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20109&v=1
I think that guy might be taking requests, all I saw was expect me to come out with more, but maybe if ya ask ja/att.
I've been communicating plenty with Ja/att and I see a lot of great mods coming from him in the near future.
TY Nerdly and T1 for those nice news (about the arrival of new MOD!!) and I hope your uncle will find a way to solve your laptop problem :thumbsup:.
Sorry to hear about your problems nerdly!
I have been testing all of these for ja/att lately, he has great things in store! I have also asked him for military Fire/EMS/Police Van and Chopper! I am sure he has a lot of ideas of his own as well.
Hope u r back online soon!
sorry to hear about your computer trouble, it will be a shame that you won't be able to make any more cool stuff for a while. i just downloaded your request pack 1 and inserted the green german police car into my plugins folder, but when i dispatch one in my city, a generic all white taurus-looking thing shows up instead. the white cars are also parked in the police stations. what have i done wrong?
tanx for the compliments guys but from what I can see on the stex there is a lack of interest for my automata. lol did you see they got outrated by that first time bat residential house? I thought there would be a high demand for the helicpter files since there hasn't been a market for them before.
Don't let them curb your enthousiasm, your idea is very good and I hope you will MOD more of this :thumbsup:.
Like we say in France, sometimes, the hunger comes while eating ;).....
For sure don't be discouraged, your work is greatly admired!
I love the automata created by both Nerdly_dood and ja/att but the issue I have and I think others as well is the game's limitation which only allows you to use one set of models at a time. I think this somewhat limits the demand in my opinion.
On the contrary...As for the models themselves, I'm really hoping that a set of props could eventually be developed so that we could take advantage of the diversity that both of you offer. I would love to see my military police station lot with camo cars while my civilian stations in the same region are lotted with your black and whites. Helos are rare in fact outside of the some coastguard choppers that I believe came from Pegs site, I don't recall any other props in existence leaving our airports barren of this type of aviation. The toughest choice for me right now is the fire trucks. Neerdly_dood's yellow engine's was a nice break from the normal red but Ja/att's recently released flag painted engines certainly adds some pop. Which to choose????? In any case I hope you both keep developing new models and continue to present us with this dilemma
I know that the Mi-24 is available has a prop but where ??? The Mi-26 has also been made by SimFox (release ??)
On Simtro, Casper has made the V-22 and the UH1 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&Keyword=casper3141&view=all) :thumbsup:.

Umm... Nobody ever said that. I am currently in the process of figuring out how I can make additional police cars. It should be pretty simple, too.
I am also currently planning the creation of a stand-alone prop pack so that you can have, if you wanted, every single one of my police cars in Lot Editor.
Nice stuff Nerdly, keep up the great work! I am assuming ur computer problems are over, bet thats a relief!
Computer problems are no fun. Its sad to hear about the laptop, I saw a neighbor drop his across the street. If, and I mean if I ever get one of those, I probably would get the toughbook type. I had liked your commitment to fufill requests, Nerdly.
Guys, just multiple ids are needed so the replacements aren't duplicate. Now, since textures require new id's like the rest of the community, if only someone can come up with a system like that for automatta, that and others' replacement vehicles probably could have been. Lots of people do want more than one type of moded automata in their game. However, since the community spans well beyond this site, it probably is too late to ask everyone around to follow a new system for new automata id's. In my case, I have multiple fire units, multiple taxis, 2 types of patrol car, 2 types of passenger train, and 7 type of freight train, thats more than one of the same type compatible in my game. Funny, that they already consisted of multiple users' work already. As for patrol units though, it would be wierd to see multple ones in the same town for me. Then again, that could be state, local, county, gov. I think if there could be the same station that had there own unit, may be what people want. Who wants to be switching plugins all the time?
I for sure don't mind spending a total of 10 seconds to change plugins! Having said that< I am looking forward to the additional packs if they do come to fruition (like the multiple fire trucks pack but for police etc)
VERY interested on how u have 2 different patrol cars running at the same time! I would love to do the same, have marked and unmarked cars at the same time.
As a matter of fact, I am about to make my additionals available so that you can use them IN ADDITION to swamper's additionals. The same theory goes for making the additional police cars, but I don't have a template exemplar to base them on yet (I don't know what IID to change what part of the additional fire truck exemplar to...) so fire truck additionals will be released before police cars will. (They will likely be released as an update to the existing files and will not take up more space on the STEX)
Also, Swamper gave my my own IID range, which is E4400000 - E44FFFFF so that my projects won't conflict with his.
Also, I have some ideas on how to make a state police car in addition to police cars that will appear on the UDI menu separately from the standard city police car. (The same might be said for sheriff cars)
BTW, in Virginia, cities are utterly and completely independent from counties, and as such have separate police departments and sheriff's offices, and the members of the city sheriff and police have no business in the county, and vice versa. Towns on the other hand are part of the counties and although they may have their own police, the county sheriff still has jurisdiction in towns.
Law Enforcement Overload! I can only imagine the unnecessary costs due to duplicarion of services, and comunication and co-ordination nightmares when systems differ from state to state, even area to area! Lot easier here, we have the Australian Federal Police (FBI type investigative role plus air/sea port protection, digintary protection and general policing in the Australian Capital Territory. Then each state/ territory has a state force.
Vehicle markings WERE supposed to be nation wide, in the markings u did, but states are starting to vary, in markings and colours of cars. I still like our ones in New South Wales (the ones u did, although the Highway cars in particular are starting to come out in random outlandish reds, blues greens and yellows!) Makes life as an Emergency Services vehicle photographer more interesting for sure! My website is much more colourful now!
The US was developed mostly by townships first, then growth over time, had seperation of city and state. Thus, most cases you had to rely on the sheriff, which was for that county. So my city, well it was a town first, had a township, before incorporation, there was only a certain amount of land. Then after cities are incoroporated, you get local community patrol. Actually whats weird now is, where the city limits end, the township which was settled for that city, goes into other cities. City limits are completely different than townships, thus community boundry lines overlapping existing boundry lines. So then, theres an agreement, that patrols have a certain amount of distance across boundries for patrol. One part of the neighborhood is one community, while the other is different, but then that road circles back to the first one, (there was an issue with residents declaring their address as to what city the street was on) or the road is the boundry line in between communities. There was a state troopers building in my city, but I think the priority is the interstate/highways. Basically thats an explanation to the U.S. having enforcement overload. Oh yeah, occasionally park/forest district have their own seperate gun wielding units. This isn't private security I'm talking about either. Even the zoo has patrol. A wild cougar, not from the zoo, was on the run in city streets once, and the police shot it down to death. Which reminds me, was the park ranger station in this game suppose to have a patrol unit at one time? In my game, there is another police car pictured in the SimCity 4 automatta, but not in game. So were looking at local patrol, county, state, and government. Which the government is a bunch of smaller branches, that don't always live well with each other. I wouldn't suggest other countries do the same type of system the U.S. has. But we all have our differences. I have never seen cop cars like the ones Spain has here.
Around here, you have the FBI of course... Then there's the VA state police, primarily as a highway patrol force, but they also respond to major problems like bombs and visiting presidential candidates and such. Then there are the sheriff's offices, which carry out court business, and police, well they're just the city police I probably don't need to explain that. The County and City of Roanoke are separate entities so their police and sheriff's deputies have no business in the other's limits.
Now I just need Swamper77 to release his police Jeep so I can use its exemplar to make state police cars and sheriff cars separate from city police cars... (I will need some advice on how to put them in the UDI menu though)
Okay...so...
Current project is making my current police cars into standalone props that you can use in the Lot Editor.
Next project is making the police cars into additionals which, when you choose to drive a police car with UDI, the game will randomly choose from either whichever police car you have as a replacement (or the default Maxis clunker if you don't have one) or it will choose the additional.
After that I hope to make a pack of state police cars which will be standalone choices in the UDI menu, so that you can have a city police department and a state police department. (When you dispatch a police car, it will be the city police)
Then maybe I'll make the sheriff cars already available into another standalone choice in the UDI menu so that you can have police, sheriff and state police.
The second one - the additionals - requires a little advice from SW77.
The last two - the standalone additionals - require SW77's police jeep to be released, as well as a little more advice.
Here's a picture of slightly less-than-current progress with the police car props:

You don't need my Jeep file to make additional police cars. I've posted in the other thread as to what needs to be changed. And using my Jeep to make additional police unit would not be recommended due to how the vehicle is modded. It does not drive like a normal car when off the pavement. $%Grinno$%

Then maybe I'll make the sheriff cars already available into another standalone choice in the UDI menu so that you can have police, sheriff and state police.
The second one - the additionals - requires a little advice from SW77.
The last two - the standalone additionals - require SW77's police jeep to be released, as well as a little more advice.
Unless you know how the game's LUA scripts function, this will be a hard task. I am not going to do the work for you, so you will have to be willing to learn how to do LUA scripting. LUA scripting is not beginner's stuff. Depending on the complexity of the scripts, they are considered intermediate to advanced modding. The LUA scripts are what make certain UDI vehicles available when certain buildings are present in your city, and they control how the automata behave in UDI mode. Such scripts also control what the Occupant Groups do, at least the ones that are
not hardcoded by the EXE. The Occupant Group ID's used by the vehicles are created and controlled by LUA script files.

I know that the LUA in the DAT tells the game how to deal with the vehicle in UDI - I intended to remove that from the DAT anyway...
I'll definitely check the other thread in the next few seconds or so.
The LUA file also is what makes a vehicle separate entry in the UDI Menu. It's how I made my Fire Chief's Jeep separate from the Fire Chief's Car. ;)
-Swamper
Oh okay, so perhaps the fire chief car is what I should base the state police/county sheriff cars on?
Anyway...
The tutorial for making additional police cars works!
First I tried out an additional police car with an otherwise empty plugins folder:

Then I put in the police car I use normally:

And the partial prop replacement thing I made also works (It requires that the additional be loaded after the replacement, so the additional police car filename starts with zzz and should be in the same folder as the replacement)

And then I tried it with a police van (the one farther away facing to the left is the replacement; the box-van is the additional)

And this image below took a long time to get, because for some reason the replacement police van appears much more often than the additional.

I will be unable to make any progress on this for the next few days because I'm moving a block up the street. When that move is done though I should be able to continue working on these projects.

You can, but without making a custom LUA file:
- The vehicles will require a fire department to be place before being unlocked
- Only one vehicle will appear at a time on the roadways near fire departments.
You will need to make a custom LUA file to make your vehicles require a police station building to be available for UDI. You can also use the custom LUA file you will make to have your state police/sheriff cars appear on the roadways near police departments. We'll discuss the specifics in the other thread.
I can't help you next week as I will be camping with some friends for a week.

I know where talking about police cars here, but also them being under the fire department menu. Its just, how did this picture happen then? As you can see, despite two of the same vehicles driving around, there is three Different fire vehicles driving around on the Avenue here. This station allows three vehicles to be dispatched, as it has three garages. Is that whats causing more than one fire vehicle in this picture below to be driving around?

There are properties with all police and fire department buildings called "
Response Vehicle Type" and "
Response Vehicle Count". The "
Response Vehicle Type" property references a particular Occupant Group ID of an automata, in your case the fire engine Occupant Group ID (0x00004202). The "
Response Vehicle Count" property tells the game how many of that type of vehicle to produce, in your case 3. The properties are set on a "per building" basis. The vehicles are produced once, after the building has been plopped. After they disappear, they will not respawn.
With my fire chief's car installed, all fire departments will spawn one fire chief's car upon plopping the building down. After a set time, the car will disappear and another will take its place on the roadways, starting at the fire department. My fire chief's car file has linked an automata generator to the game's fire department Occupant Group ID (0x00001502). Removing my fire chief's car file will stop the fire departments from spawning fire chief's cars.

He was talking about the fire chief's car specifically - one each of it and the fire support Jeep will appear near fire stations when plopped, in addition to however many fire trucks that station can dispatch - so if the station can dispatch five fire trucks, five will appear when the station is plopped.
Exciting stuff guys keep it up! Love the vans as well, great to have a match for all the sedan options!
I haven't done much work on this lately, except for figuring out that the order in which I release the addtionals will be:
1) Fire trucks, sheriff cars and state police cars
2) Nonspecific police cars that I came up with on my own
3) Police cars based on real cities, and international police cars
The props will be released in the order 1, 3, 2.
The reason for the additionals being released in that order is:
1) My fire trucks that are already additionals aren't compatible with SW77's additionals; and state police and sheriff's offices are separate entities from city police departments, so they get priority
2) Less priority than 1; more priority than 3.
3) It's less likely that you would want an additional police car for a real life city or for another country's police cars because individual city police departments almost always use the same paint job on all their cars, and in other countries, police car designs don't vary much from city to city; mostly country to country, so therefore these cars in the 'additional' format have low priority.
The reason props will be released in that order is:
1) The fire truck props that are currently available are only red; lot developers making state police stations or sheriff's offices will be able to use these props separately from the regular police cars that they are currently restricted to and separate entities and yadda yadda...
3) Less priority than 1; more priority than 2.
2) The nonspecific police cars are more likely to be used as the city's only police car paint job, and unless someone is making a police station with more than one paint job, that person will probably use the police car prop family in Lot Editor.
Using the prop family is much better than using individual props because the individual props appear at certain times of day, which is why there are more than one individual props, so if the person uses the prop family, the cars will be randomly dispersed around the parking lot, and it will seem like the cars will be randomly driven off or parked back at the station, instead of all driving off at once and coming back at once. The partial prop replacement feature of the additionals would be best used if the police station lot uses the prop family for this reason, so that it will appear that the two designs are randomly scattered around the police station parking lot. Yes, sadly, the partial prop replacement limits the number of police car designs in the prop family to two; you can have more designs driving on your streets but only two will show up as props - but you can choose which designs you want as your props, one will be the 'replacement' model, the other will be the additional that loads last, and to make them load last, make sure it has more Zs in front of its name than any other additional, and it would be preferable to have the same number of Zs on all additionals that are not used as props, which could if you choose be none at all, but it must be less than the number of Zs that begin the file name of the additional that you want to show up as half the props at your police stations.
EDIT: I will release those two police vans in the next few days, before any of the additionals or props are done. They will be released as additionals and as replacements at the same time; props will be released in the first pack.
I would like to have made a pack of police vans to match every oe of my police car mods, but until such time as I can get Windows 2000 on my virtual machine (running within Windows Vista) you can use one of the police vans shown above which will be released soon (they survived the death of my laptop), or you can use use one by Zwanneman, links on page 1 (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4904.0).
I got to come out of hiding for this one :D
Thanks for the Brit police cars, they look great.
This is just an advisory for anyone that's having the same problem getting them to show as I did. After checking through my somewhat weighty (3.5gb *insert blushing smiley* ) plugins folder for Pegs police cars, I then did the hokey-cokey with the rest in order to find the offending file .. it turns out that I'd installed (many moons ago) 'Dunkin Donuts' by Kevdan25, complete with 'cop car'. I guess I'm getting too old for this game, I tried every abbreviation of 'police' that I could think of in my search, never gave a thought to searching for 'cop' .. shoot me now, please.
Gladly.

As a matter of fact, there is even a prop pack on the LEX that accidentally included a police car mod by MikeSeith.
If I remember properly, it also was done by Kevdan25, and included the very same mod that comes with the Dunkin Donuts.
I'm beginning to consider releasing my police cars on the LEX here... I'm not entirely decided but I'd like some input to see if people really want them on the LEX in addition to the STEX. If O do begin to release my stuff on the LEX, first I will release my three mega-packs and one request pack all at once, and then after that all future releases will be both at SC4D and ST.
I'm being kinda lazy now and not doing much with the props or additionals, but at least I have the functionality figured out and finalized for whenever I actually start working on them.
its all good nerdly and I personaly think it would be cool if you did get up on the LEX....
I don't know if there is anything with the BLaM name on the LEX - you would probably know though. (Wait.. Is there some HIDP stuff there?)
the only HIDP stuff is the rework by xxdita that I know of... There is a few things by Ant on there and also I think one or 2 by Glenni..
I have salvaged the data from my old laptop hard drive! I have managed to pull a Virginia Beach, VA cop car mod that I completed from it, and I may be able to continue my work on various automata mods, some of which aren't emergency vehicle mods. The Virginia Beach police car is attached.
Due to this discovery, ANY ORDER OF PROJECT RELEASES POSTED BEFORE TODAY IS NOW OFFICIALLY NULL AND VOID.
I will continue working on police vans, releasing the van mods in the same order as the police car mods that they match, including Mega-Packs 1, 2 and 3 and Request Pack 1. I also have the following police car mods being made: Annapolis, MD; Older blue and white Polish policja car; Boston police; Durand, WI; Florida highway patrol; Knoxville, TN police; Ontario provincial police (both the black/white and white versions); a gold police car requested by Deion30296 at ST; and of course Virginia Beach police. I also am planning mods for more realistic American school buses; a mod to replace the in-game Army truck with a Jeep; a mod to replace the UGLY PINK CONVERTIBLE with a nondescript sedan of your color choice; a pack of police van mods to match the various skins included in the PEG cop car mod, and that's all that I have already begun so far.
I may also make a pack of totally random police car designs - no specific city, just designs that I think might look cool; and also several international ones (so far I have specified the Canadian RCMP, Swiss Miltärpolizei, United Nations civilian police, Abu Dhabi, UAE police, and others); several American police departments, including Charlotte County, Alachua County, and Bay County, Florida sheriff; Georgia state patrol, Americus, GA police, and others) and maybe a pack (or several) of police SUVs.
Now this Boston police car may be a sticking point between me and Ja/Att who has made his own Boston police car, but I (naturally...) think my car would be infinitely better than his for several reasons which I don't really want to type but if inquired I'll tell you why mine's better. (But I haven't done anything to the back of the car to make it like the real Boston car because I couldn't find images of it but now I have some so I'll change it when I get a chance)

Yes, all of them are Chevy Impala's
It shouldn't be too hard to fix the headlights and tail lights so they look more like an Impala... actually it should be pretty easy.

nice police car Nerdly_dood &apls
Very fine work n_d
I have a request for some more Canadian police and fire vehicles i do have some pics for rendering i wish I knew how too do so but i dont. so your help or anyone else's help would be most helpful.
heres a few more police pics i included the new paint scheme for the OPP Ontario provincial police swat team and highway rangers also the local Niagara regional police with their new paint scheme. would really like these vehicles for game play.
almost forgot about the Niagara EMS this new paint scheme really looks cool better then the older dont u agree here is the old and new paint would really like the new paint scheme for my EMS in game play.
Niagara Regional police added to my list, and OPP was already on it.
I have also been planning a few ambulance skins with different designs, but that has somewhat low priority.
Could you make this policew car
IT a Montreal POlice Dep car well "a Windstar"
Yeah, you thought I was done forever! :D WRONG.
Police van development: I have found the FSH textures for the police vans that are intended to give users of the PEG cop car mod a matching police van. The ones for St. Lucie Sheriff and NYPD were made using only the PEG police car textures as a template: if I used any RL images, they wouldn't look as similar to the PEG versions as they would otherwise. Also, the black-and-white and SCPD vans were directly based on the Maxis police van texture. (meaning that the lower half of the vans is black, not the front and back ends) Also, since the van's model is pretty crummy, I have to limit the width of the colored parts of the lights: if I make the red and blue sections wider, then they get totally ruined, so what you have is what you have. &mmm Still, it's better than nothing, and also I can release it tonight if I try... (Sorry, too lazy to do it all tonight, probable release within a week)
The vans will include within the individual DATs for each separate van mod a modification of the van's flashing light models so they match the van's individual lights (mostly red and blue, but blue only for the Orange Stripe van) which is done so that the vans match the PEG police cars that much more. Also they will include separate DATs for red and blue or blue police car lights (so you don't have the old single red light effect that looked good on the Maxis police car, but really ruins the PEG police cars)
Completed mod: Also, if you thumb back a page or two, you can find a post of mine to which I attached a Virginia Beach, VA police car skin, and I also have several other police car (and other) skins already run through FiSHMan and ready to put in-game. These that I have already completed will be released shortly after the police van pack. (They will not be very coherent or organized, I was just fiddling around when I did them, but they are [mostly] release quality)
Future development: Keep in mind that I am still working on my Vista computer, so I can't use FiSHMan. (That's a program I use to change the PNG images I use for the textures into FSH files that the game uses as skins for models) HOWEVER I do have a newfound source of money (One thousand seven hundred and ninety-two dollars) coming soon it got here seconds ago, which will enable me to purchase a new laptop and Windows XP. (Thank you social security!) Once I get the computer and install XP on it, I will run all the textures I have made through FiSHMan and make more police car skins of of those. Yay! I'm rich! :party:
Also, I may create more textures for the flashing lights - that way, the lights would flash in a way that more closely resembles the way they are on the vehicles. This would likely require that I release them as a dependency pack.
Requests: I do intend to make ambulance skins - I don't need any requests for those until after I've released my first pack. ;) Also, making a Montreal police car would require that I either omit the large number on the doors of every police vehicle, or else the number would be the same on each and every one.
Also, here is a list of current textures I have made:
Red text means none of the skins have been run through FiSHMan
Orange text means one or more of the skins have been run through FiSHMan
Blue text means the textures are all ready to be put in-game and released
The colors of text in here will be revised as the textures are run through FiSHMan once I get the laptop.
Skin packs:
- Spanish civic vehicles (Two varieties of Spanish National Police cars, an ambulance and a fire truck. Dependency: SW77 Automata Essentials)
- Police vans to match PEG cop cars
- Improved school buses
- Ugly pink convertible replacement pack (Your choice of ONE of blue, green, red or black sedan)
- Police vans to match Police Cars MEGA-PACK 1 (others have not been started yet but will be done)
- Improved paint job for SW77 Euro Emergency Vehicles (on LEX: creator is Swamper77)
- Pack of sheriff cars with red stripe (New York style)
- Pack of boring police/sheriff cars (Plain white car with no stripe and very little adornment, as always your choice of lights)
- Expanded pack of police cars with blue stripe
Single skins:
- Virginia Beach, VA police
- Yet another Polish police car
- Florida highway patrol
- Boston, MA police (Texture incomplete)
- Annapolis, MD police
- Durand, WI police (Be aware that the PNG image has fine details similar to those which FiSHMan has been known to work badly with)
- Knoxville, TN police
- Ontario provincial police (Both the black/white and the white versions)
- Abu Dhabi, UAE police (In English as well as Arabic - I have no idea what the Arabic text says, I simply copied it by hand with meticulous precision)
- Alachua County, FL sheriff
- Americus, GA police
- Blacksburg, VA police (The texture may need to be refined - it has a stripe across its trunk that should line up with one across the side, I may need to adjust it)
- Bristol, VA/TN police [It's on the VA/TN border...]
- Charlotte County, FL sheriff
- A police car based on Charlotte County sheriff
- Georgia state patrol
- Gotham City police (based on the cars in the latest Batman movies)
- Swiss Militärpolizei
- The following police cars that cannot be described with words:

Is that enough for ya?! :D
I may have to split that into two mega-packs...
Individual police car skins can be posted on request. They will show up in a similar fashion to the ones demonstrated above (the ones that words couldn't properly describe)
Wow! :thumbsup: You are the mod lord... the mod-master... I cannot believe how many mods you make Nerdly-san! My favorite is the green 'POLIZEI', but they are all just magnificent! Wow! &apls
What's puzzled me is the number of skins you can make in a short period of time :o!! I do love the dark grey with the blue lines. :thumbsup:
Short period of time? The last time I released was in July and now it's October... But then i did make the textures for the boring police cars in less than an hour.
I will hereby refer to these and similar police/sheriff cars as the "fancy" police/sheriff cars. (There may be more varieties of fancy ones made.)

I have done a very few ambulance skins, but that number (two as of now) will increase soon. One is a preliminary texture that will definitely be improved to release quality very soon, and the other is perfect at the moment. EDIT: Twelve actually...
I have now completed these additional police car skins:
- Philadelphia, PA police
- Nonspecific Puerto Rico police car (Release would require a green flashing light effect!)
- South Portland, Maine police
I intend to add:
- Minnesota state police
- Bay County, FL sheriff
- Several ambulance skins (of course)
Also I have devised another way to have red/blue lights on police vans using the current imperfect model, but that is not a guarantee that it will work.
Wow wow wow wow and wow! :thumbsup:
QuoteThe last time I released was in July and now it's October...
That's what I said :P, a short period of time compares to other big packs made by other talentous MOD/LOT/BATers &apls.
Okaayyy... The police van mod pack is completed, and ready for me to get in-game images, fix up a readme and upload it to the STEX. Also, I have compiled every single skin I have made so far (except a few police van skins, they'll be posted later) and here they are, in a somewhat organized fashion.
To use these textures in-game without waiting for me to release them, you can use this tutorial (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=233.0) to put the textures in-game. You must first use one of my police car mods, preferably with the same color lights as the texture you borrowed from the ones below, and in the tutorial where it says "edit the skin to your liking" insert one of these images instead. Be aware that FiSHMan cannot, will not, and ain't gonna work on Windows Vista, compatibility mode or not. It will be more difficult to re-skin a police van, though.

Large Police Car Packs
New York-style sheriff cars
Since all police and sheriff vehicles in the state of New York have red or red/white lights and most have a red stripe, this is what I came up with. (They may look exactly the same, but you'll notice that I gave more variety of red lights than usual)

Boring police cars
These are a collection of plain white cars with a minimum of adornment, meant to indicate a low-budget police department. (Sorry, I can't make them appear below a certain funding level for your police department...) The ones I post all have red/blue lights, but they are also available in all-red and all-blue lights.

Blue stripe police cars
The first set I made was rather small and didn't allow for as much flexibility as this set does, and also the way I had its blue stripe set up, at times in-game it looked like a set of diagonal blue stripes, which was not my intention. This set cannot possibly show up with a row of diagonal stripes, and it allows much more variety. Also, I will only post the red/blue light style but red-only and blue-only are also available.

Hispanic police vehicles based on props in an LBT prop pack (not sure which)
I was beginning to run out of inspiration when I made these, so I went and got the designs by looking at some props in Lot Editor... Not the most efficient way to get a look at them, but hey, it works... You can't see props very well in Lot Editor due to the pixelated view in closer zooms, so I had to come up with some parts of the design (particularly the text) myself. As you can tell they are available with text in Spanish and in English; the lights are only available in red/blue.

Undefined Police and Sheriff Cars
I had been thinking that we needed some police and sheriff cars with some blue and green stripes, and this is what I came up with. I couldn't think of a suitable name for these... so they're forever undefined. This pack also violates my belief that sheriff cars must not have any blue on them. Lights are only available in blue.

Police and Sheriff Cars with Wide Stripes in various colors
These I based off the South Portland, Maine police car shown below which I felt needed to be more colorful. First I had the police and sheriff car with the green stripe, and after that came blue, red and black, in that order. Lights are only available in red/blue.
I will add a police/sheriff car with a wide gold stripe, and also gold, blue, green and black police/sheriff cars with a wide white stripe, and a brown sheriff car with a wide gold stripe.

Gray Police Car
This one started out as a toy car I've had floating around my room since I was ten years old (now I'm sixteen) that kinda migrated into prominent places of its own accord, so i knew it well... i don't play with it, never really did, but I still kinda like it, and this design is based off it. (this one does not include he orange highlights that the toy car has)

Orange and Green Stripe "Polizei" Cars
This one started out as a typical Austrian police car: white with an orange stripe and blue lights. So then I added another with a green stripe instead of orange to satisfy German SimCity players.

Nonspecific Puerto Rico Police Car
I'm not sure how many people here are from Puerto Rico, but I made one anyway... This one is based on what PR police cars in general have: Blue and green lights, yellow and green stripes, and the word "Policia" in small text near the top of the doors and the word "Transito" in big text near the bottom. I will have to create a new colored light texture in order to properly release this one because to my knowledge there is no green one.

Black and White Police Car: Type 1
I figured that there were more police cars out there in the real world than just ones without stripes (actually I've seen dozens of them) and since Ja/Att's set on the STEX only has police cars with a single color stripe, I made one with a modern design and a blue and gold stripe. An earlier version had a white hood and trunklid but I removed those.

Black and White Police Car: Type 2
The only black and white police car I've released so far with a black rear door is the California Highway Patrol car in Mega-Pack 1, and the only other one can only be used as Ontario Provincial Police due to the prominent "OPP" on the front door. So I made one with a nonspecific emblem on the door and called it Type Two. (Only available with this unique flavor of red/blue lights)

I don't know how these would look like without LED lights which all of the black and white cars have (but most of the white ones don't - they usually have the lights that I show here) so I just came up with what I thought they would look like with standard colored lights.

Sorry, no ambulance textures yet... (but you can go here (http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd138/nerdly_dood/Emergency%20vehicle%20mods/no%20really%20i%20mean%20skins/) if you're not so lazy you have to wait for me to post them)
Textures I intend to add:
- Georgia state patrol with orange text {done}
- Wide white stripe on gold, black, blue and green police/sheriff cars {done}
- Wide gold stripe on brown sheriff car
- Black and white police car intended to match Maxis police car, but with modern design* {done}
- More vibrant gold color on gold police car for Deion30296 (forgot to add to latest post) {done}
- Several nonspecific State Police car designs (some based on existing textures) {done} (unless i think up another design or three)
* This car will use the badge emblem copied from the Maxis police car skin, which requires FiSHMan to change from a FSH to a PNG, so unless someone else is willing to give it to me, this texture is to be delayed until I can get my laptop (which will hopefully be by this weekend) Otherwise, I can fix have fixed up a blank black and white police car to match everything else other than the door emblem on the police car. That includes which panels are white and which are black, lightbar color... and that's about all I can do ATM.
WOW Nerdly_dood san! :thumbsup: It is amazing that you actually managed to make this many mods! :) You are off the hook! ;)

Love the new ambulances! :)
Well, my dad happened to see the Abu Dahbi police cars. And when he was in the navy (on the USS Kearsarge in Norfolk) he went there on a navy cruise. He told me to tell you that the main police car in the city is a 2000 Ford Explorer. Oh yeah. THANK YOU FOR THE VBPD POLICE CARS! Also, I'm trying to find and upload a picture of my conuty's police cars; Campbell County, TN. ok

Blue text was added Saturday, plain text was added Friday.
Thank you for the requests, but I'll need a side and rear view of the Australian ambulances (if I can't find it in the SSC thread)
I found another thread at SSC devoted to police cars, too, but there are almost no ambulances or other emergency vehicles in it, except police cars. Also, many of the images don't show up properly in that thread, but there are enough for me to be able to add Croatian, Danish, HK, Czech, San Juan, Manila (Philipines), Slovak, and Slovenian police.
Thank you for the link - it will enable me to add several countries' fire vehicles and ambulances.
I have been forced to stop making new skins for the time being, but hopefully this willl be a short-lived problem... I have been cursed by the loathed "DLL Hell," which in fact has killed nearly every program that is not essential for school: including SimCity, all my web browsers except IE, PhotoFiltre, WinAmp, Pidgin and Y!M, but NOT Ilive's rograms Reader, LEProp and Prop Viewer. I have found a registry file that could help me with this, but for some reason my computer mistakes a *.REG file for a *.MP3 file, and we all know what MP3 is, don't we?
Anyway, all is not lost! I have been improving the textures on ALL of my black and white police cars - including ones that are already released! I don't know what happened to my black and white OPP texture, I'm [somewhat] absolutely sure I improved that one... Never mind, I found it ;D Anyway... Since i am too lazy to manually post images of interest, I'll just link you to my PhotoBucket (http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq330/nerdlydood/skins/?start=0). You can find many skins already posted there, but some you will notice have been updated. The updated black and white police cars that were already released in a form that was less awesome than they will soon be are on page 1, as are a few "Fancy" police and sheriff cars. (Two "Fancy" ones are not in that folder, so I've added them below) You'll notice that there I have added the wide gold stripe police and sheriff cars. On page 2, you will find that the Wide Stripe police and sheriff cars have been continued, with a couple new additionsm and for the most part, you've seen the rest on that page. On page 3, there are mostly cars you've already seen, but a few you haven't: Cincinnati, OH; Lincoln, NE (Have you seen that one already? I can't remember...) Niagara Regional, ON police, and a few police cars with a gold stripe on the side. On page 4, you have almost entirely new additions, which I am calling the "multi-color stripe police/sheriff cars," which will be expanded somewhat. Notice the two sets of black ones with subtle stripes: I call those the "No-See-Ums" because many police departments are using police cars that don't look like police cars at a glance but if you look closely you can tell they're marked, but barely. You've seen everything on page 5 already, and on page 6 there are a few new state police car skins, as well as a 70s-era Swedish police car paint job, but on a modern car model. (That's the black and white POLIS car) You'll also notice a few new black and white police car skins, as well as some that have been shown already but not released, and improved somewhat. Page 7 and 8... Well... I'll let you explore them for yourself, but I will tell you that there are several white police cars with designs based on some of the black and white ones on previous pages. The skins formerly referred to as the "undefined" police and sheriff car are now "white police/sheriff car type 5".
There are a few improvements planned for existing skins as well as several new ones (particularly now that I've gotten these links to the threads at skyscrapercity - thanks skyliner!)
Now for the images that were not in that particular PhotoBucket folder:

I hate to double post but it's been a cople days since my last post and I have an
ANNOUNCEMENT to make:
I am considering including an installer program with future releases. I haven't been able to install the installer creator due to this DLL Hell but I think I'm beginning to chip away at the crust of "security" within the depths of my WORTHLESS! operating system... (Windows Vista) But since I haven't been able to look at how the installers from Clickteam are made, I'm not sure that I'll be able to include options and sub-options, which are in previous releases folders and the files within. I may also include readme files as HTMLs instead of TXTs, thanks to a few templates available for the LEX candidavy advice thread.
I will NOT seek LEX candidacy for my mods until SW77 releases his police car models: at that time I may re-skin his vehicles wih the intention of releasing them in the same places he released his own versions - that is, the LEX and not the STEX. My stripey version of his Euro ambulance will also be on the LEX only, as well as my version of his Euro ladder truck.
"$Deal"$Please note: Vista increases the chance of a blue screen of death by %50!
My the luck be with you!
[/b]
Vista doesn't have BSODs - it just restarts.
But I haven't been getting any BSODs, or sudden restarts, so I may have to reinstall Windows... I know of a place already on my computer where I can copy my sensitive files (including police van mods but NOT including the upcoming vehicle skins I've shown you) to protect them during the reinstallation. I will put my files in a safe place tonight and reinstall Windows tomorrow.
Okay, again i hate to double post, but this doesn't seem like something i should just add to my previous post...
I reinstalled Windows, with most of my data protected in a separate hard drive, but I lost my fonts :'( (from here (http://www.dafont.com)) and i lost my flash drive with all my new skins on it, so I'm lucky I posted the pictures on Photobucket... ()stsfd() So I'm back to fixing up new skins and waiting for a laptop.
(to song) You gotta- Backup! Backup! ::)
I did back them up! ;D I made a point to back up nearly everything before I reinstalled Windows because I knew I'd probably have to re-format the hard drive... I have retained my SC4 files, music [much helped by a set of new speakers, complete with floor-thumpin' woofer], pictures, documents, and a few other things. It will be a little time-consuming and boring for me to download my skins from Photobucket, but once I have them back it's going to be easy as pie to add more, 'specially with a new source of images. :satisfied:
I have re-downloaded a desktopful of fonts, which will be easy but time-consuming to install.
I haven't yet put the SC4 folder back in my Program Files (x86) yet, but when I do I'll still have crummy performance with about 2.3GB of plugins on 1GB RAM...
Sadly, FiSHman still won't work, since I'm still on Vista...
Maybe an emulator will help? Than again, I've heard of all sorts of mixed results with that kind of program... &Thk/(
Since my computer situation is about the same as it was before DLL hell, let's just say the computer problems are gone. ;)
Good news :thumbsup:.

EDIT AGAIN: Rummaging through my old files, I discovered that I have, in fact, COMPLETED 4 of the 5 mods I intended to release for my pack of Spanish civic vehicles. Both police cars, one being the older white paint job of the National Police, the other being the newer blue one, as well as an ambulance and a fire truck are complete. I never finished the blue police van skin, and although I never started on a white police van skin it should be very easy to do.

Why, certainly: None of them do! :D I'll do a Montpelier one soon.
The one for Spain and Germany aren't based on any particular city, either, but based on styling from most police cars, plus more interesting graphics I added. ;D
Is the yellow british ambulance available anywhere or is it still to be included in one of the packs?

Merci beaucoup pour vos efforts mon cher ami :P!!
Translation : TY dude.
I have, under somewhat unpleasant circumstances, come across a computer with pretty decent performance overall (a mediocre integrated video "card", but that can be solved for less than a hundred dollars) which runs Windows XP... meaning... that since my mom died last week, I have inherited her computer, enabling me to turn some of these textures I've been making into actual skins for the vehicles, and perhaps much more. My first concentration will be on requested items (yes, you, une_ame ;)) then ambulances and then after that... who knows... ;D
There are a few new skins, but I'll probably keep those secret (more or less...) you can find them if you know where to look
So yeah... I have XP now, a few more computer problems riddles, and a restored ability to re-skin SC4 automata!
Farewell, Vista! And good riddance, too... %ban%
EDIT: I've tried a bit of fiddling around, and I'm back on track! I'm a bit overwhelmed by all that I have to do... But it's nothing I can't handle ;)
Really? That was unexpected. Sorry to hear about your recent passing like that. The way how fate makes things happen is beyond words. Its great to hear fate had you get back to the XP again. Hope that makes a big easier difference. Me on the other hand, am sticking with the Vista, just because I can zap through those Mac ads like Tivo with the entertainment feature, and remarkably SC4 runs alot faster with opening those run on menus then the XP could. As always your reskining is appreciated since I myself can't do texture editing because of the V word. We can only hope Microsoft does better then both XP and Vista combined once the next operating system- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx -is on store shelves next year. What a hosed up name for an OS. I don't think switching to 7 or XP is worth it for me, too hard.
Thanks for your sympathies...
Oh, um... a bit of progress:

There are a few changes now: New skins will no longer include the lightbars, but rest assured, they will be included in the model. (Yes, that means versions of the Montgomery County police cars will be available with red/blue or blue lights, or perhaps both can be used at once)

Hello Nerdly Dood,
Everytime I come here, I feel like a little boy in the middle of a new toy shop $%Grinno$%!
But I've got a question : when do you plan to upload all the nice stuff you show us here ()what()?
TY
I'd really like to upload them very soon but I can't get in-game screenshots without being able to play SimCity, so due to a corrupted CD that makes it impossible to install the game I've been waiting for a chance to go out and buy a new copy of it. Until then I'll be unable to make sure my mods actually work, so official releases will be impossible.
However, I can certainly make unofficial releases - I have attached three of the four French police car mods I intend to release - the fourth, the older paint job of the National Police, requires a bit of extra modification which I'm finding hasn't been working well, so I'll release that one whenever I can finish it - hopefully very soon. This one will be unofficially released along with the two ambulance mods.
As always, you can only use one mod a time or else there will be conflicts that degrade game performance, and may actually crash your game - so keep track of which police car mods you're using to avoid future headaches.
I must warn you - I haven't tested these in-game and am unable to, so I recommend trying these out first in a test city to make sure they work. Download only if you're willing to be the first ones to test them.
ND,
I've download your MOD and will test it later tonight (GMT) in a TestCity.
Hope I'll be able to show you the results soon :thumbsup:.
Nerdly Dood,
I've tested the 3 cars and I found no problem using them :thumbsup:, the lightbars are OK, the police stations parking lots are filled, the car can be use with UDI missions, etc.

Since I'm there and because I've made a small trip to Morocco, I take a couple of pics of a Moroccan "SURETE NATIONALE" (National Security) police van. The police cars have exactly the same paint scheme. Those police vehicules are realy interesting because the lightbars are actually Green and Red.
While the Arabic "SURETE NATIONALE" title is red, the French one has the same green than the lines one the front and the rear of the van.

Oh good, they work! ;D
I'll see what I can do about the Moroccan police vehicles. And about the unusual lights - Police vehicles in Puerto Rico commonly have blue and green lights - and i'm not sure why this one has text in English, considering that Spanish is the primary language in Puerto Rico:

It's been my intention to create a van to match every police car that I make - so from now on most of my skin making will be concentrated on vans (apart from the Morocco police vehicles - that is the one last car I'll probably be making)
I do have future projects in mind that would include new cars, however... ;)

What a nice surprise :D!!!! :thumbsup:
This nice skin will be perfect on Mikeseith Renault Trafic vans : http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14400
I've actually been rather reluctant to use Mikeseith's vehicles - in retrospect it was rather unwise to use his Renault Laguna for the Police Nationale car i have released already because although I gave him credit, I didn't notify him or ask permission beforehand. I intend to have a lightbar on every new vehicle that I release that would naturally have one, and one with the most configurations possible - meaning I'll add the lightbar I have on the latest police car model to other vehicles. That way it would be the least amount of work if I just keep using the standard Maxis police van I intend to add the lightbar to soon, as well as being a safe alternative to using the someone else's work without their permission. (I'm not sure I would receive a reply if I asked him though - AFAIK his ST account has been inactive for quite some time)
I do have many of his models available to use though...
I understand your opinion regarding Mikeseith's vehicules. It's a pity the guy disappear because his models were very good in shape and in detail.
At least, I hope the link I put above will help someone discover his work &mmm.
Mikeseith replied to me in his thread 2-3 months ago post and you never know!!
How do I change the lightbar style on the cars with the bar part of the model? Changing the FSH file gave me a car with an all-white lightbar.
But thanks for the skin!
You should be able to simply click "replace texture" after you right-click the texture in the Mats tab in Reader, then load up a working FSH texture you've saved.
Be aware that this texture you're replacing is NOT a "DXT3 with Alpha" texture - the ones I'm using are "32-bit ARGB (8:8:8:8)" so that may be a factor.
Just curious - what exactly are you trying to change the lightbar texture to? The texture is a bit complicated so I think it may be easiest for everyone involved if I know how to help you.
The red-blue lightbar for the MCPD car. (facing forwards, red on right.) Thanks.

I've got that covered for you - you don't need to bother with those, I'll put more detail into those lightbars than you'll ever care to put in yourself. ;)

Meanwhile, I'll content myself with blue/blue. (I used the French beta cars for the model.)

I probably won't make that particular fire truck design, primarily because white trucks with a gold stripe is a rather uncommon design. However, I do intend to release a set of white fire vehicles with red stripes.
Notice that I didn't say I wouldn't do that design for ambulances. ;) (Okay yes I did, but then I edited the post.)
That may take more time than other skins because I've already got colored, black and white car skins so I can do pretty much anything with any of them. However, the only fire truck skins available are colored, and it's not easy to turn the skin grayscale, then increase the brightness so that they're a very light shade of gray without turning everything else gray too. But it's not impossible though - I'll get something done.
EDIT: I have attached a ZIP folder containing three emergency vehicle mods - the two French ambulances, and the older French National Police car. I had intended to have symmetrical blue and amber lights on this police car but due to a strange complication, I was forced to make them blue only.
I'm gonna test the old scheme police cruiser and the ambulance and will show pics ASAP :thumbsup:.
Are the ambulances working the same way the cops cars do, only one type in the plugin ()what()?
Yes - only one at a time. I do, however, have the capability to create "additionals" in which one mod would replace the original ambulance (or if you wanted you could keep the original) and have more driving around as well working the same way (but that's more complicated than doing one at a time)
The older French National Police car isn't bugging anything in my test city. The UDI missions are possible and the cruisers are surrunding every police stations :)!!

I find it difficult to see the paint scheme details.
Pause the game, right-click on a police car to center the view on it, then press CTRL+X. This brings up the cheat code input box in the top left - in it type "sizeof 5" then press Enter to magnify the view 5 times - this will enable you to get a better view of it.
I try to make the graphics as close to life-size as possible, which due to the limitations of the game's antialiasing at normal views, makes the police cars look a bit... bad.

I've got another pack of pre-release automata. This one only has the Bethesda-Chevy Chase ambulance among several other non-ambulance mods - the next pre-release will include mainly ambulances.
Contents:
BCC ambulance.dat - Bethesda Chevy-Chase ambulance.
blueyellow diag stripe.dat - A police car with a stripe along the side consisting of blue and yellow diagonal slashes. Blue roof lights.

police municipale van.dat - A police van with a design matching that of the Montpellier police car mod.
police municipale van (modern).dat - A police van with the more modern French Municipal Police design.
police nationale new.dat - A police van matching the design of newer French National Police vans.
police nationale old.dat - A police van matching the design of older French National Police vans.
DEPENDENCIES Both Morocco police vehicles require Swamper77's Automata Essentials (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1626) to function properly. None of the others require this or any other dependencies.
Could you make a police car with a V-shaped lightbar so I can use V-bar skins? Also, is there an easy way to convert your old skins to work with 3d, not painted, lightbars?
I've got a somewhat reasonable hope of a V-shaped lightbar coming in the future, and also I have a somewhat substantial intention of converting older mods to work with the new 3D lightbar.
I made a tutorial describing how to upgrade an older mod of mine to have the 3D lightbar here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7435.msg234618#msg234618).

Okay I have found the glitch and identified it. I typed in SW77's green light texture IID incorrectly as 0x0235001b when it was actually 0xc235001b. The Morocco police van had no such problem and was fine from the beginning; the matching police car should be fine now.

Can you release the additionals script for the police vans?
Did u release any Police or hospital Helicopter packs?
QuoteDid u release any Police or hospital Helicopter packs?
I was also thinking about that :o!!! But I guess it's a different technic ()what()?
There is already a pack of medic-helicopters on the STEX by Ja/Att. (I know next to nothing about them so I haven't made any)
There is now a new modder releasing several police files on the STEX. I think I should hurry up and finish mine soon so he doesn't release one I had planned! :D
EDIT: I think there might be an additional police van attached to one of my previous posts in this thread.
I have finished testing the latest batch of international police cars and I hope to pack it up and release it on the STEX sometime this week. The police cars for Puerto Rico and Morocco will require SW77's Automata Essentials, there are no other dependencies.
After int'l police cars I will finish and release police cars based on RL police departments within the US and Canada; after that I'll release the ambulances.
Mega-Pack 4 is on the STEX (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21628)!
I've just downloaded the megapack4 file (ok, a couple of days ago) and put the file numbered 5 in my plugins folder... no luck... still showing the old Polish Police car I had installed. :(
You cannot use multiple police car mods at once, you must uninstall the other one first. There are only a few polish police car mods available, so if you could show me a picture of it I could tell you the filename you should search for so you can delete the older mod.
Thanks.. I was just about to write that I FINALLY found the offending file. Nice job that you did with this. THANKS! :thumbsup:
I'm glad you got that cleared up then.
No comments. It makes me sad. :(
Mega-packs 4 and 5 have been on the STEX for a few days now.
Anyway... I've been tinkering around in Gmax and come up with a few things I expect you'll like. Naturally, all are designed to allow for maximum customization.

Nerdly wow I love that vector bar!!!! that is going to be the next light bar I actually get once I get a new vehicle as my poor blazer died... Took it into the shop to get a fine tooth comb to go over it to get it ready for the summer months and found out it has no body mounts... Anywho looking real great here and love that NYPD cruiser!!!
That won't be cheap... it'll cost something in the $900 range. The best lightbar available for VA volunteer firefighters to use would perhaps be a Streethawk with only one rotator per side, but cascade mirrors so it looks like there's more lights, and probably takedown/work lights all around, rather than more flashing lights (State law (http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-1024) only allows 2 flashing lights - it doesn't restrict where they point or what kind of mirrors)
Looks nice nerdly. Thanks for the latest mega pack as well :thumbsup:

If you're a bit more particular about it i think i could fix something up... But i only have the Vector light on the police car because i'm promised a matching light effect for it by swamper77, and i have no such guarantee for a light effect for the ambulance so i'd prefer to have a light effect that perfectly matches the lightbar.
Oh hey, look what i found.

Updating the STEX file in the next few minutes. One question first - is this Santa Clara County in California? It must be, since thats the only Santa Clara County i can find.
Also I've improved the lightbars on many of the police cars in MP5, so I'll be updating that in the next few days.
I honestly don't know lol it was the best AMR representation I could find... Where I had AMR was in Winnebago County in IL... I didn't even notice the Santa Clara County part lol oi...
Oh well... i suppose having the wrong county on it isn't a major problem as long as their design is the same. $%Grinno$%
Naw no biggie on it at all I am happy its AMR that's all!!! I wish I could give you a K-point about now for such a quick fill on a request and such a great detail too!!!
After an update to the ambulance pack which added an ambulance Pat requested, and an update to police cars MP5 which added a few police car mods and greatly improved the lightbars on nearly all of them, I've got a bit more development:

(your choice)
I was already planning to do one of those.
In the meantime, I've been refining the various models I've been working on, and also testing out my own share of the Cities XL closed beta... as well as some Norwegian police car models from Glenni which I will convert into automata and release when ready.
Very Cool stuff, maybe some day you can do a few futuristic cars :)
I'll probably avoid doing that, since our expectations of the future are always totally different from what really happens... for example, in 1920 nobody expected a new world war within twenty years, and throughout the twentieth century everyone expected flying cars to be just around the corner... here we are with a good start into the 21st century and there are only a handful of flying cars but they're just ludicrously expensive curiosities...
So no, I won't make futuristic police cars because I'm positive that whatever i make will be totally wrong... $%Grinno$%
I do have a few secret projects, but since they're secret I can't type them at all, invisible or not, because i dont know if i can get them to work so why post something i can't surely do?
In the meantime I've done a bit of texture work and come up with this, along with much more:

I will be out of town from tomorrow, July 2, until July 16, and will be unable to work on any of my projects until I return. Hopefully when I get back i can fast-track some great stuff I haven't mentioned much...
Hi nerdly_dood. I really like your automata mods made so far, but I would like to put in a little wee request (or two).

These, as you may have guessed, are from the New Zealand Police, and St. John Ambulance, also in NZ.
I'm not too worried about the shape of the model it's applied it to, just the paint style. Given some form of template, I could make the textures myself, probably.
I've been intending to create a blue/yellow and a blue/orange NZ police car for quite some time but I haven't gotten around to it, but I have a few skins I'd like to make when I get back home. Rest assured, the NZ police car will come in due time.
As for the ambulance, that certainly seems like something I could easily do - easier than the police cars as well... Consider it done.
Thank you very, very much! :) If only now we could figure out how to have two police cars, because the yellow and blue one (Highway Patrol) would be so cool as well as the orange one. If your ever looking at police vans again, perhaps you could also do one to match the NZ cars?
Thanks Again.
It is indeed possible to use multiple police car models, and I do intend to release additional models that are used in addition with the regular Replacement models I usually do.
Somewhere I heard that the NZ police was changing all their vehicles, highway patrol and regular police, to be either blue/orange or blue/yellow, but I can't remember which... and I can't remember where I heard it either.
Hmm. I have never heard anything like that, (it could be true - probably phasing out the yellow design) but I am quite certain that blue and yellow is reserved for 'Highway Patrol' at the moment, anyway.
If you want me to, I am still happy to make the textures for the cars.
No no no, i'll make the textures when i get back home.
I haven't gotten around to making the NZ textures yet, but here's just a sample of what I've been working on lately:

Hey, Is there a chance u can try and do the GTA IV Ambluance and Fire truck? And Nice work on those cars
I won't be able to make a GTA4 ambulance or fire truck to my satisfaction since I can't make rotating light effects; however, I do intend to release a GTA4 LCPD car (I hope to make two - one based on the Police Patrol, and the other based on the Police Cruiser) as well as a NOOSE cruiser.
My releases from now on will be smaller, so I can make more frequent releases. My next three releases will be the pack of Norwegian police vehicles, with models made by Glenni with minor tweaks from me; a pack of German and Austrian police vehicles (which I hope will also be released at SimCityKurier); and another police car pack containing the white police cars and fancy highway patrol cars shown above, as well as a bunch of various black and white police cars. After that, I have a vague idea of a few things, but nothing as close to release as those. (They will be released in the order that I finish them. I cannot guarantee they'll come out in the order above, although I'm thinking that the German vehicles probably won't be the next release.)
I have just finished the NZ police car skins... Not easy! Any police car scheme with large repeating patterns is difficult, because they must match up properly with parts of the car and whatnot... Exhausting! But I'm done. The NZ police cars will also be available in blue/yellow with small red "Highway Patrol" text at the rear, and in blue/orange, as well as the blue/yellow version below. (I've toned down the too-bright yellow a bit, though... That was very easy, especially compared to making the design in the first place)

I've also updated my nonspecific white police car group to fit with my HD scheme, and will soon follow with images of the HDified black and white group. Here is a sample of the white police cars (See more here (http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq330/nerdlydood/skins/))

Very, very nice. I can hardly wait to download the set when you get done with it. It looks as close to real as I could have ever hoped. Thanks again.

Hey mate, I'm a big fan of your work.
I have 4 requests for vehicles. These are 2 police, 1 ambulance, and 1 fire truck. (I've tried this once, and I lost it all. I'll break it up into 2 posts)
1. Queensland Police (General Duties) Car

If you could make these, you'd be a legend! ;D
Cheers mate.
The white police cars are in the final stages before being exported to an in-game format. all will be available with red, red/blue, or blue lights; the light colors shown below are what I personally prefer for each one.
Some designs come with various color options, others don't.
Comments, suggestions, requests etc always welcome!

It won't replace all the cop cars, it's going to be mixed in with a lot more that are in good condition. But of course, cars that are in good condition aren't much fun, though... At least not until I get ahold of them. ()flamdev()

"To Threaten and Intimidate"

I like the last one! And also the 5th one!
Also, how about adding more damaged cars?(Doors or bumpers missing,
Just ideas for more wrecked cars!
Ryan:thumbsup:
The upcoming police pack is really impressed, I like the V-lights! It could be good to make the "roflcars" with the new LUA script, apart from the original one, I guess so.
Beside, don't you think it would be fine to refine the original Maxis' van model? It's so ugly... :).
As far as developments go, I've completed the white police car set and the German police car set - all i have to do now is get an in-game image of each, then package them up and to the STEX they go. (And maybe as a candidate release for the LEX...? No guarantees.)
As a matter of fact, I've done quite a bit of modification of Maxis' van - its longer, its got a much better texture, and its got a new set of lights. Keep in mind, though, that SimCity can only show so much detail on automata at normal zoom levels, because SimCity was not designed for a first-person, street-level view of the city.
Comparing my modified van model with the Maxis model (For some reason, when i exported Maxis' texture i got an all-opaque one, idk why...)

Breaking News
Announcing the latest and greatest in SimStrobe technology, with blindingly strobey and blinky police car lights, so that your dumb Sim drivers will swerve and crash into some innocent telephone pole when they see a police car on an urgent mission, rather than just driving straight into the police car, cause we all know you don't want that. Download below!
In plain english: It's a new police car, with a strobe light bar based on the Whelen Edge series, with a brand new, fully functional flashing light effect that I can modify to also flash like newer LED lightbars, which I happen to loathe with all my heart. The next police car release will include a car with the same design as this one, but with a different light style; some others will include strobe lights instead.
Nerdly I think I love you man!!!!!!!!!! you make my heart sing with great joys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heheheheeh OK all kidding aside here great job on the light rigs and thank you for bringing in strobes and LED's!!!
When will your creations be released?
The next two packs are complete, and just need in-game images, and then I can package them up properly and upload them to the STEX.
I think I asked you this, but can you do helicopters?
I don't know nearly as much about aircraft as I know about road vehicles. I'd like to do some, but it's just outside of my skill set.
Here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?p=files&keyword=ja%2Fatt&view=all) (<<click) is a link to Ja/Att's STEX files. He's done quite a few road vehicle skins, as well as news, police and medic helicopter skins, and fire plane skins as well.
All i need now is to make a readme, then i can pack it up and send it to whichever exchanges i feel like.
And now I have a name for this police car model:

These cars are numbered by design, and all are available with red, blue, or red and blue lights, with a few exceptions which will be noted in due time. Each design has a standard light color which I think looks best, but if you don't like it you can choose different light colors or a different design.
This release will include only white police and sheriff cars.

The last one is quite amazing :thumbsup:, which Police Dept is this paint job coming from ?
None of these designs are directly based on any particular police department's design. The last one is vaguely intended to appeal to European users, but it can fit in just fine in any setting.
A few minor modifications to note:
- Type 10 and Type 12 have had "POLICE" text added to the hood, since they're intended to vaguely resemble British police cars: British police cars have hood text quite often; on American police cars it's very rare.

It's been awhile, but I actually HAVE been working on my car projects.
Next in line is a pack of slicktop police cars - mostly unmarked, and a few marked ones - and a pack of German ones. (Still have a few modeling kinks to work out, that's all that's holding up the German ones) - as for Glenni's Norwegian police models... they won't be too hard to finish up, but sadly for Glenni, they'll be awhile.
Oh yeah, and a pack of Federal Police cars based on the design of various United States federal agencies. The Federal Police agency I'm creating the design for will include a Dead Serious Division for routine patrols, a Mechanized Cavalry division for high-speed pursuits and whatnot, a Friendly PR division for ... well, PR... a Merciless Attack division for their SWAT team, and a Scavenger Division for their CSI work.

You may recognize some of these designs as being remarkably similar to some I posted on previous pages but never released. They're coming.
It's coming out pretty nicely, nerdly :thumbsup:. I do hope to spare some free time to test the things we were talking about lately.
They all look excellent, :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
(I'm wondering what they would look like with HD textures (presuming they can be HDed?))
Actually they are all HD, and they have been since Mega-Pack 4 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21628) was released a while back. (Most of those vehicles use 256x256 but some used older 128x128 textures.) The textures are all 256x256, with the exception of the lightbar, which is 128x128 because it simply doesn't require any more detail.
In fact, they've all been HD since before people realized that HD textures could be used... I just doubled the size of the texture to add more detail, and I liked the result - it was only later that more people realized the power of HD.
The textures may look blocky in these closeup images, but this isn't GTA, this is SimCity - you just can't see that level of detail in-game, even at Zoom 6.
BEHOLD!

Nice cruiser and paintjob Nerdly, always a pleasure to see what you've done. Too bad SC4 allow only one type...
May I ask why these cop cars have no light bar?

Some American police cars have lights inside - usually inside the top of the front windshield, inside the grille, and on the rear deck. The vast majority of police cars using this setup are unmarked, and as you can see above there's only a small selection of marked vehicles. This setup allows plenty of visibility without requiring a cop inside to stick on a magnetic roof light, which can be a distraction at the worst of times.

So, if I put two of your cop cars in my plugin, I will have the choice ?????

You could use any number of them. They are all available as replacements and additionals - the addidionals will show up randomly, with an even mix of however many designs you have installed - so if you have four additional mods and one replacement mod that looks the same as one of the additionals, that one will appear 40% of the time and the other three designs will each appear 20% of the time. Or you could have one additional and one replacement mod, and both would appear 50% of the time a cop car shows up.
Replacements can only be used one at a time, but I've fixed the additionals so that they don't conflict with each other, so you can use any or all of them at once.
Hi Nerdly,
your work is really great! &apls
By the way - is it possible to make your props into ploppable props? (and if, how)
Because I search for an x-tra Police Car(s) - in german we name it "Bereitschaftspolizei" to plopp them on special lot's at my airport.
I don't know anything about turning props to ploppable props except that it's supposedly very difficult, and I do know that Dedgren can do it but he's caught up in his RealRoads stuff right now. So ploppable props are not likely to be available soon.
As for your "Bereitschaftspolizei", which Google Translate tells me is German for "riot police" - I am currently working on a set of German police vehicles, including a set of police vans. Two of the van designs will have a reasonable approximation of the standard German riot-police livery - one with wire covers protecting the windows and headlights, and one without them. If requested, I will create prop versions of the police vans, as they are not initially available as props like the police cars are, and that will be a separate release.
That would be great, if you release them also as props! :thumbsup:
Meanwhile I have found a Tutorial here at SC4D how to make automatas into props. If I have time (who has time..) I try this and show you the results.
Thanks!

This one is the Impreza WRX I was talking about, I don't think they have Legacys ;).
A sampling of upcoming designs...
My latest, greatest and final attempt at a decent NYPD skin. I have finally perfected the blue color and the font of the "NYPD" text, which I could never get just right, until now.

It's been a while, but I've finally finished the pack of slicktop police cars.
It's on the STEX! (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=23774)
@Nerdly: The Slicktop remix cars are pretty cool. Very cool. Any way some of them could be released with all blue flashing lights?
It's pretty simple to do yourself. (It looks complicated below, but it's really not ... right?) First you'll need Ilive's Reader program, available here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=656) [requires separate LEX registration if you haven't already]. Install the Reader, and start it up. Click File > Open... and use the mini-browser to find where you have saved the police cars. Open the design you'd like to use.
In the center you'll find a bunch of SimCity computerspeak. You only need a very small part of it. On the top, each column is headed by a name - you need to look at the Entry column on the far left, and the Instance column on the right. Whether you're modifying a Replacement or Additional, you will need to pick a "S3D File" from the Entry column. If it's a Replacement, the "Instance" number will be 10643000. If it's an Additional, the "Instance" number will be E44100_3 - the second-to-last digit will be different depending on which design you're using.
Once you've found the proper "S3D File", double click it. On the top right, a number of tabs will appear. Second from the left should be the "Mats" tab. In the table below that, there are more hex codes. To change the color of a flashing light, click the far left cell with a number in it, then right click it to bring up a menu, and from that menu select Set Texture. Do not change item 2 on this list. If you do, strange things will happen, but your game and data will not be harmed. You do not need to change the Name, but you can if you absolutely must - it won't change anything important. To change a light to be red, change the Instance to 0x10690002. To change a light to be blue, change the Instance to 108C0002. Yes, that is the letter C - it is not case-sensitive. When you have changed the Instance, click OK. Repeat until the Material IDs - the righthand column in this table - are 0x108c0002 for items 0, 1, 3 and 4, to make all flashing lights blue. Select Apply at the top of the right-hand sidebar, and then select File > Save As... and save the file, preferably with the same name, in your SimCity plugins folder.
That's about it. You can also change the lights to flash white, amber, yellow, or green, but generally those colors aren't used.
WOWZERS!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!! What are the "instances" for the other colors you listed? I'd like to experiment!
Glad you like the changes.
Other colors are used in a dependency file here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1626), Swamper77's Automata Essentials. Install that in your Plugins folder first.
The instances for the colors are as follows:
Amber: 0xC235001A
Green: 0xC235001B
White: 0xC235001C
There is also a yellow texture, but yellow isn't used, like, at all, so you probably won't need it. Amber is used quite often, so it's a much better choice. I'd like to be able to have these slicktop police cars use different colors in front than in back, which would make amber more useful, but it's simply not feasible with the current lighting setup at this point, so whatever amber lights are in back will also be in front.
Wow, nice vehicles, these for sure will be in my City Journal :thumbsup:
Excellent work Nerdly, anyway to put flashers on the front of the vehicles in the grill?

I totally enjoy your slix remix. Would it be possible to make some slicks out of Simfanatik's USA Police Pack Vol. 2? These are modeled after the new Chargers. It would be great to see these as slicks! Thanks for all your work! Much appreciated.
Hi nerdly, my friend, LTNS :)
Doing great work as always.
Have you count how many different cruisers you made for the community ? I think, it must not be far from 100 :o!!!!!

Actually I think it actually is kinda far from 100 - i think the number is going to be approaching 500 with future releases. (that's countng individual mod files, not paint schemes)
My life has been rather chaotic lately, with my house being renovated around the last week of May,and after that i never unpacked my computer. I graduated from hgh school yesterday, and today I moved to live with my uncle outside Washington for the summer - I will soon begin work at a summer job for the Social Security Administration on 6/21. And around the end of August i'll quit the job, get my car working, and begin study at George Mason University, somewhat farther outside Washington. But I'm sure I'll find time to work on more cop car mods.
@Nerdly: Congrats on the HS graduation, and good luck in college! I'm up in Baltimore, and it's nice to hear that people in the region are playing SC4!
Yeah, I was happy too since I used to live in Arlington (VA.) before moving to France.
sorry for digging up this topic :-[ but you're still accepting requests ?
I would request a cruiser of São Paulo Police Department (Brazil)
