Bravado Buffalo Gen1 Cruiser Federal Signal Vision SLR [ELS]
by Naruto 607

View this file in Fullscreen mode.

Heavily detailed Gen1 Buffalo cruiser using Federal Signal Vision SLR lightbar.
The Gen1 cruiser is made up based from Ekalb's Buffalo Police Vector mod.
I recently added some decorations inside and outside to make it similar to Dodge Charger cruiser, so it can have a great police type.
I was hoping to enhance the mod further, but this is the best I can do. Ekalb has provided his mod (Bravado Buffalo Police Vector by EKALB) open for everyone to encourage the modding community, so I'd like to say, without him, this mod will be impossible.


Installation:

Assuming that you have the latest version of OpenIV (which is intended for GTA V), you can start working immediately by opening it. If not, download one from http://openiv.com/.
Make sure that you have installed ELS-IV v8.51 by Lt.Caine before proceeding. Note that this is an ELS-enabled vehicle that uses DROT (DRO1) primary lighting system. You can install this without ELS-IV, but I'm afraid IV siren rotators that used in this primary lighting may or may not work properly.
If you do not want to use the function of ELS-IV, you can download the same mod with non-ELS compatibility.
If in case you are experiencing taxi bug and popping-in textures, install a taxi bugfix such as TrafficLoad or RIL.Budgeted.
It is recommended to replace this cruiser as TBoGT Police Cruiser (Police3), but you can replace other cruiser as well.

Note that DROT functionality (dro1, dro2, and dro3) only works on Police Cruiser (police), Police Patrol (police2), TBoGT Police Cruiser (police3), and TBoGT Police Bike (policeb).
police3 and policeb only works in TBoGT, never in IV or TLAD (in ELS User Guide, only police, police2, ambulance, and firetruk are listed, which are in this case, if you only have GTA IV without DLCs).

EFLC
1.	Open OpenIV and select EFLC.
2.	Enable Edit Mode.
3.	Open TBoGT\models\cdimages\vehicles.img.
4.	Extract the archive to Desktop or any folder that you can easily remember.
5.	From the extracted archive, open Model folder and drag-and-drop police3.wft and police3.wtd into OpenIV.
6.	Close OpenIV (you can use Archive Defragmentation to rebuild the archive, but you don't need it as OpenIV automatically saves it as soon as you import it).
7.	Please use the original IV handling (FBI or Buffalo handling) as this mod uses the Buffalo cruiser (or you can use Realistic Driving n' Flying v1.3 mod by Killatomate).
	Open TBoGT vehicles.ide and replace the police3 string with one of these lines and save:

	FIB Buffalo Handling (Stable in most ways, recommended for police pursuit that requires more stability than speed and acceleration):
police3,	police3,	car,		FBI,		POLICE3,	VEH@STD,	VEH@STD_RI3,		100,	999,		0.2610, 0.2610,		0,	5,	1.0,	0	ext_strong+ext_requi+livery

	TBoGT Buffalo Handling (Unstable/Oversteer during acceleration from 0 to 60, RWD tires may burnout when accelerating, recommended for drag racing or police pursuit that requires speed and acceleration than stability):
police3,	police3,	car,		BUFFALO,	POLICE3,	VEH@STD,	VEH@STD_RI3,		100,	999,		0.2610, 0.2610,		0,	5,	1.0,	0	ext_strong+ext_requi+livery

8.	Place Buffalo Gen1 Vision.ini to ELS folder of your game dir, open _SLOTCONTROL.INI and replace the whole [POLICE3] string with this one then save:

[ POLICE3 ]
Status = on
File = Buffalo Gen1 Vision

9.	Start up the game, have fun!

IV
1.	Extract the archive to Desktop or any folder that you can easily remember.
2.	Rename police3.wft and police3.wtd to one of two acceptable police cruisers: police or police2.
3.	Open OpenIV and select GTA IV.
4.	Enable Edit Mode.
5.	Open models\cdimages\vehicles.img.
6.	From the extracted archive, open Model folder and drag-and-drop the renamed files into OpenIV.
7.	Close OpenIV (you can use Archive Defragmentation to rebuild the archive, but you don't need it as OpenIV automatically saves it as soon as you import it).
8.	Please use the original IV handling (FBI or Buffalo handling) as this mod uses the Buffalo cruiser (or you can use Realistic Driving n' Flying v1.3 mod by Killatomate).
	Depending on the car you replace, you need to change the IDE settings, so it can have a perfect performance and a joyful ride. Replace the IDE of your replaced cruiser with this one:

	Police Cruiser (police)
police,		police,		car,		FBI,		POLICE,		VEH@STD,	VEH@STD_RI1,		100,	999,		0.2610, 0.2610,		0,	5,	1.0,	0	ext_requi+ext_strong+livery

	Police Patrol (police2)
police2,	police2,	car,		FBI,		POLICE2,	VEH@STD,	VEH@STD_RI1,		100,	999,		0.2610, 0.2610,		0,	5,	1.0,	0	ext_requi+ext_strong+livery

9.	Place Buffalo Gen1 Vision.ini to ELS folder of your game dir, open _SLOTCONTROL.INI and depending on the cruiser model you replace, replace the respective string with this one then save:

	Police Cruiser (police)
[ POLICE ]
Status = on
File = Buffalo Gen1 Vision

	Police Patrol (police2)
[ POLICE2 ]
Status = on
File = Buffalo Gen1 Vision

10.	Start up the game, have fun!

Bugs:

For some reason the car cannot be shot through the interior, but it's stable in many ways.
This is how I keep it. I decided to minimize the chances of game crashes when using this mod.


Notes:

This cruiser has extra_10 that can spawn rear (dome) beacon lights inside the car.
You can color the spoiler with any color you set in the trainer or edited first in carcols.dat. Do not choose Undercover skin as this is not an Undercover Cruiser.
