Here we go with the result of the tests.

The file contain:

BCC ambulance

No pb.

Blueyellow diag stripe

No pb.

Gendarmerie Nationale van.

No pb.

Graycopcar.

No pb.

Police Nationale new van.

No pb.

Police Nationale old van.

No pb.

Morocco police car.

Houston, we've had a problem !!! The green light are showing a strange texture. Everything else is OK.

Morocco police van.

Same has above.

I do not expect any problem with the Hampton cruiser and the 2 municipale police vans, I will test them if you ask me.

For the green light, Nerdly most likely used my Automata Essentials File on the LEX for the graphics. You can grab it here: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1626.

Yeah I forgot to list that as a dependency. Sorry!

[Une_ame]

I download the file (SW77-Automata Essentials) but, sadly , the problem remains .

[nerdly_dood]

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.

I have edited my post on page 12 to have the updated file and I'm about to edit again adding SW77 Automata Essentials as a dependency.

[Une_ame]

Cool, it's working now




Thanks Nerdly .

[Pat]

very good fix there Nerdly!!! BTW did you catch the Aprils Edition of the Podcast?

[cpast]

Can you release the additionals script for the police vans?

[Nexis4Jersey]

Did u release any Police or hospital Helicopter packs?

[Une_ame]

Did u release any Police or hospital Helicopter packs?

I was also thinking about that !!!  But I guess it's a different technic ?

[nerdly_dood]

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!

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!

[pzl]

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.

[nerdly_dood]

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.

[pzl]

Thanks.. I was just about to write that I FINALLY found the offending file.  Nice job that you did with this. THANKS!   

[nerdly_dood]

I'm glad you got that cleared up then.

[nerdly_dood]

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.

V-bar front


V-bar back - just to show the directional bar as well as the fact that the rear of the lights can be a different color from the rest (that's actually available in the RL model, and this is the style the NYPD uses)


Single rotator:


Double rotator (as is common in Italy)


Improved rotator lightbar:


Improved ambulance model with the same lightbar as the previous police car:


Improved ambulance model with a pair of single rotators (The lightbar is the only difference, the lights around the top are the same on both):

[Pat]

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!!!

[nerdly_dood]

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 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
