(GTA1) Law Enforcement Lighting FX


A demonstration of the lighting/wanted level fx on my GTA1 police cars. Special thanks to badge764 for pointing me towards some research material regarding the crown vics. GTA1 (C) Rockstar Games. Cars (C) Me.

    Smashing! But my dad dislikes the new Holden vehicles (he had a terrible experience with his used VT Commodore. The DFI module was fucked within five years. It overheated, causing the Commodore to break down and shut off during transit!).

    Well, even smart size can’t work miracles in this situation. And yes the original vehicles were cartoony but since the mod software was made available users have aimed to make more realistic cars (see GTA London).

    Yeah I was taken aback by the decision to retire the Ford Crown Vic, and despite being a supporter of GM/Holden and of Aussie products I don’t particularly like the new Chevy Caprice.

    I’m working on all kinds of different vehicles so I’ll take that suggestion onboard =).

  • SlimeTron5000:

    Correct. Photographing cars from the top (but there is smart size). The cars that are hand made obviously have a cartoon style.

    Maybe you should make Valiant Charger police vehicles (regardless of state). Also, I did not expect the USA having interest to buy Holden Caprices to make the Ford Crown Victoria obsolete (It is General Motors business).

  • dmstealth:

    How do you mean appear in the game if photographed from the top? If you mean using real cars that have been digitized some have tried that and inevitably it does lose quality due to both the colour depth reduction and resize. Retouching is a must. If you meant something else, feel free to clarify.

    And yeah the 2 framed emergency lights annoy me too, it’s hard to reproduce revolving lights as you can see. Thanks for your kind words!

  • SlimeTron5000:

    These cars look beautifully designed! I commend you. How would the cars appear in the game if they were photographed from the top?

    For GTA1, I always wish you could be able to add more light frame sprites. It is irritating the developers limited the ability to two frames.

    Anyway, it would not hurt to subscribe.

    One type of cop vehicle per city (for a total of 3). I’ll try to get some ingame footage… if it doesn’t come out too choppy.

    Oh BTW realized after I made the vid I forgot the white/center light on the fcv squad car… fixed now. I guess it’s a speaker box in this vid lol. Thanks for the comment.
