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! 
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!

Type 1


Type 2


Type 3


Type 4





Type 5



Type 6



Type 7 (The lightbar textures have been adjusted somewhat, but not substantially)



Type 8




Type 9


Type 10


Type 11


Type 12

[nerdly_dood]

And now for the German ones.

Cars:
Type 1


Type 2



Type 3



Type 4 (I've now added a clear beacon to the top of the lightbar on this one, but couldn't be bothered to get an image)


Type 5


Type 6


Type 7



Type 8



Vans:
Type 1


Type 2



Type 3



Type 4


Type 5



Type 6 (At some point I got the idea that some German riot-response police vans are entirely green...)



Type 7



And last but not least, I figured I'd try something entirely new, which I do intend to put in-game, now that I've finalized the design.

The last one is a very good idea !!!!!

The only thing is that it's gonna look kinda weird to see all those cop cars parked in the police station lot with the same impact at the same place !!!!!!

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. 

[Une_ame]

Do I smell sulfur ?

[nerdly_dood]

I can't say I do, but I can certainly show a few more "roflcops"



Click image for how I got this one:







"Threatening and Intimidating since 2008"


"To Threaten and Intimidate"

[carkid1998]

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:

[Gwail]

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... .

[nerdly_dood]

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!!!

[cpast]

When will your creations be released?

[nerdly_dood]

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.

[cpast]

I think I asked you this, but can you do helicopters?

[nerdly_dood]

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 (<<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.

[nerdly_dood]

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 , which Police Dept is this paint job coming from ?

[nerdly_dood]

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.




- Type 22 has had hood text added, and the stripe along the side has been improved


- Type 23 now has red/blue lights standard. Red/white lights are still an option.
