This is a side project I decide to do for fun. There will be no new scripts or a new map, just a complete set of retro themed units for the LA mod. This project is planned to only cover the most essential units within the game. An early 2000's unit set will be released in this project, however it will only replace the lowest quality models in the mod. 7/30/22 Major 80's units assets are released. New scripts and features added too. Be sure to check back regularly for updates and glitch fixes. They will be announced in this thread. The future plans for this mod are the following: - 90s Civilian Cars - Helicopters for various agencies However, I would like to go back to finishing Montana mod now that this project is out. Expect the full V1 of this submod to be released after Montana mod has been completed.

Here I have a list of vehicles I think the community needs in order to "refresh" the current state of 3d models in our mods. Currently, most models that are in mods are around the 2013-14 model year, thats the newest we have... The work Good and CFD are doing with the LA Mod upgrade is absolutely amazing, and that will be a huge breath of fresh air for the mod and the community. This list is mostly of civilian/police vehicles, because those are the ones that actually come in model years. Fire trucks are weird in terms of that. On another note, I feel that this list could be a good starting point for anyone wanting to get into modeling. These are things I think we really need and would make new mods feel new! The vehicles are separated through manufacturer and then sub-divided to model year. For example, the 2016 FE and 2017 FE are 3-Dimension-ally the same. So I marked them (16-17) but there were changed made to the look in 2018, and 2019/2020, so they are "different" vehicles per say. NOTE: So, running up to 2019-2020 years, these vehicles are not even available to the public yet. So putting them into realistic mods, might not be the best idea, as we do not know what departments are going to run these vehicles. I know some departments (Namely the NYPD) are currently testing the new 2020 Police Responder Hybrid. Now fictional mods should be fine, but its just a reminder, maybe these vehicles could wait a little while. Also, there are slight differences between the 2020 FE Civ, and the 2020 FPIU. In terms of side trim and front bumber, so It would be unrealistic to use a 2020 FE Civ for a department vehicle over the 2020 FPIU, unmarked is a different story, but it is something to keep in mind. Okay, finally, the list.

I am not TELLING anyone to make these, I think its just an idea for what would be cool. Conclusion: I know there are flaws with this list, but I think it is a good outline of things that would give new life to mods. I strongly encourage people to buy up zmod 2, or blender, and learn to 3d model. I myself am learning to 3d Model and it is bringing me great joy. Thanks to all who have been making and releasing all of the awesome content lately! Updated as of: 05/03/2020

NYS Emergency Management runs a Tahoe. idk the environment of your map, but if it has a forest or state park, NYS Park Police would be cool, They have a new Tahoe too. I’ll look for more when I get home, but you could look here. I’m sure you probably use this site but if not, it’s amazing: http://www.policecarwebsite.net/st31.html

Yes these are really cool. Being an NYC native I mess around with Brooklyn a lot and have added a few vehicles, I plan on adding way more than necessary just for the hell of it. Besides that, these could be used in fictional mods too. As you mentioned, NYPD Traffic also runs a 2018 Camry!

You mentioned NYPD in the OP. If you wanna get started on a civilian car that has some action as an emergency vehicle, try the Chevy Traverse. The RAV4 also has made an appearance as an NYPD RMP These are very common crossovers in the US and would be a very good background vehicle for making maps look more believably American.

Anytime, mod is looking good!

This is some really good advice, I for one am purchase zm2, I find that zm3 is not quite suited for the EM4/911 FR deal. As I wished I learned a while back. Itchboy, while you do make TONS of models for us. I in no way meant for you to exclusively or mostly do any of this work lol. Your contributions to the community are already beyond what any of us could have asked for, and I believe it’s time for more of us to step up and get involved, as I have seen going on lately. Also, I can’t wait for the new, sweet, sweet, Camry lol. Maybe a Jeep Gladiator too, oooohhh, that’s an idea for me now.

Let me jump on the wagon and say you don't need to credit me every time you post a photo. Once or twice is enough, and there must be documentation included in the final mod. In relation to the coroner van picture, please add the model's author for that first photo. All subsequent photos like an update, texture edit or lighting video may not include the name. I'd also like to shout-out the people who converted my models into other (not Em4) games. Please credit me even if you're not using the model for Em4. There is one thing I'd like to ask: If the model is one of my conversions from another game (by either Ubisoft or EA), please include their names too because I don't want the triple A game companies breathing down my ass. I support the proposal, however the person doing all of that won't be me. There just isnt any time left for me to do all of that. In my spare time besides working on LA, Montana, River Falls, (a secret mod) and my other hobbies, I am currently trying to "update" my civilian cars. Camrys, Corollas, Nissans - the kind of stuff that would work in a civilian environment. It is already a monumental task to update/replace the existing civilian cars and I do not think it would be practical for me to cancel all my existing projects just to update the vehicles. 2020+ spec vehicles are within our grasp. given how OP already has a 2015 Tahoe in the works. An edit of my existing models would not be too difficult in order to bring them to spec. Montana Mod as well has a 2016+ F350 that will be out soon, so I don't mind adding that truck into the pool of assets planned here. I am willing to assist (up to a certain degree) those who want to give these a try. I for one welcome the new guard of people trying to get into the gig. I just hope that you guys don't burn yourselves out like I did a couple years back. All of this talk of the future is ironic for me though. Most of my "new" models have been old stuff from the 80s and 90's. Do not buy Zm3. You can just as well go with Blender (which is free) or Zm2, which is a one time purchase instead of a monthly subscription. Zm1 is the oldest of the above and also free. The pros like MikeyPI and some of the old-school modders use this software exclusively. Me, I have begun the change to Blender, but use Zm2 for UV mapping, Zm3 for persons and Zm1 for converting into older games like NFS 4. Go with what you feel comfortable with.

Hey man, of course modeling is an acquired skill, and I am learning too! Credit issues are always something that can be fixed as long as both sides work together, as you have said you would. Keep on keeping on, your mod looks really promising so far!

Oh, that’s actually a really good idea, I’m sure that method would be really useful for like the newer explorer. Thank you!

Woah, this is cool. Looking foward to it! Might I make a suggestion? Change the color of "Coroner" to black would make it more readable and still stick with the color scheme.

Let me tell you the obvious stuff. This topic, and others that that you bumped has nothing done, or the title says they are cancelled. Don't be that person that replay in 2-3 years old dead topics. I bett that you give 0 sh about that.

I can help you with your mod I know have to do map edits and bug testing
