First things first... I think this is probably the best mod for OFP yet and I wish every addon was of this quality!... but.... Is anyone else having the problems with this mod that I am? Everything is ok except when I try and place in the editor and then play the Scout/Commando soldiers. I get an error message similar to "CANNOT LOAD MODEL.SPECIAL". Pressing continue will get rid of the message and the scouts/commandos appear but without any weapons loadouts. Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on and how to fix it? Thanks

yeah, tell me about it!

@ WackyIraqi ...clearly you don't quite understand irony... never mind eh - there's still time for you to learn! Â Thanks for the welcome though, and you know I'll be up for a test drive p.s. were you high on a sugar rush or something when you wrote your last message?

@ DELTA HAWK PLease check your email!!

I'm glad someone likes our new national paint scheme! @ DELTA HAWK - Can you send me the basic model as you have it so far. I can start trying to learn how to skin the models as no one else has come forward... If you reply to this I'll know you're interested and I'll PM you my special 10mb storage email address!

OMG we really need a skinner... I can't believe that we don't have one that can help. I will be willing to do something for this mod - I should be able to have the time as I am soon to have five days off in a row from work. I am quite confident about the actual textures (external at least) but can anyone find me a tutorial on how to actually map the textures to the car componants? Any help would be appreciated as I am sure everyone wants to get this show on the road.

@ SPAD Please check your email!! I can't wait to get the 1776 units!!! Many thanks

@ SPAD or anyone who can help!! Where can I get the British 1776 soldiers??? Anyone got a URL or anything!?!?! Please help - they look great and I must have them!

@Ninja_STO I know I've seen these templates before on the web (as I downloaded the Crown Vic before as well!) but I can't remember where the hell they were! Â you got a URL? I could only find a similar page Police Vehicle Templates It has a Crown Vic, Lumina and a couple of 4x4 vehicles. I've put a few of the vehicles here - click the thumbnails!

@ Ninja_STO Thats exactly what I mean (I think we must have been writing this at the same time!! ) regarding the lightbars... its not like I'm obsessed but I have every OFP police vehicle and the best one I think is probably the strobe effect one on the Finish Defence Force Mod 1.3 police car. Coming second would be the GAZ24 Police vehicle for its rotating beacon effect (if that could somehow be incorporated into a bar system that would be VERY cool) but the strobe one would be a lot easier!

@WackyIraqi, Yeah... but that's not exactly what I meant - I meant that first of all, we (when I say 'we'... I mean someone with more skill than me!!! ) need to get the original textured in say DELTA HAWK's original paint scheme his Yucata County Sheriff and release that. Then, whoever textured the Sheriff's car could also include a blank white 'canvass' zipped in the pbo so that if one was to un-pbo it, it could be used as a starting point to paint your own. - I didn't mean use some sorta scripting to do some sexy paint changing mid game or anything... nothing that mental!! Granted, it would take a bit of skill to make your own paint scheme but its a lot less than starting out from the beginning... I mean even I can make my own (pretty decent) paint schemes if I have something to start from... and god knows you guys don't want to see a British Police Car as the default colour scheme - click the thumbnail! p.s. And yes, before you say it I KNOW they are not Crown Vics (They're Vauxhall Omegas) but its the closest we have here Â

Delta Hawk... Wow, I can't wait for this one to be released... I can't really offer any texturing skill to you I'm afraid, but like the other posters here, I'll be more than happy to alpha/beta test for you. Unfortunatley I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic to help you with primary photo resources... but I'm in the right job if you need any other random help on police stuff!! ----====== Can I make a suggestion though... ======---- ...Could whoever has the skill and eventually textures this vehicle please make it fairly easy to de-pbo and re-texture so that (with permission of DELTA HAWK) there can be some kind of community set up where anyone (once again with permission) can make their local police force's vehicle and possibly upload them to a dedicated site such as in operation with the Need For Speed Series of games. Just a thought... but a good one I think

Hey Colonel, Just seen your post about the multiple gun positions on boats on another thread... is there any news about the police launch yet?... and even... a ... release date??!!??!

There's one of these in the Finnish Defence Force Mod - it works quite well, as you can do an immediate full stop to get your troops out quickly.

Col Klink, What would the chances be of you releasing a basic version of the police launch without any scripting (i.e. just a basic beta boat addon) almost as a teaser for those of us who just can't wait to get their sticky little mitts on the boat, ...and then building up to a release of the full boat with scripting etc as and when its ready for proper release! If not, then any chances you could send me a beta version!!??! please!?!?
