Improved Police Bike [ELS]
by Naruto 607

The police bike in TBoGT, which I've been playing for years, possess two working internal rotators inside the red/blue generic dome lights.
I'm trying to use the UV-map thing Bxbugs123 used in his ELS-H Police Bike model, but unfortunately it is locked to prevent other modders to modify his work.
The work I done to this police bike is limited. I know there is a similar model which uses the dome lights, but this one is different.
The light configuration has been renewed and is using DRO3 type, just as what I did to Merit cruiser.


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.
If in case you are experiencing taxi bug and popping-in textures, install a taxi bugfix such as TrafficLoad, TrafficControlSystem, or RIL.Budgeted.
It is recommended to replace this vehicle as TBoGT Police Bike (POLICEB), but you can replace other vehicle as well.

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 policeb.wft and policeb.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.	Place Improved PoliceB.ini to ELS folder of your game dir, open _SLOTCONTROL.INI and replace the whole [ POLICEB ] string with this one then save:

[ POLICEB ]
Status = on
File = Improved PoliceB

8.	Start up the game, have fun!


IV
1.	Extract the archive to Desktop or any folder that you can easily remember.
2.	Rename policeb.wft and policeb.wtd to any acceptable police cruisers, like 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.	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,		bike,		BOBBER,		BOBBER,		VEH@BIKE_FREEWAY,  NULL,	30,	999,		0.2303,	0.2303,		0,	4,	1.0	,0,	noboot

	Police Patrol (police2)
police2,	police2,	bike,		BOBBER,		BOBBER,		VEH@BIKE_FREEWAY,  NULL,	30,	999,		0.2303,	0.2303,		0,	4,	1.0	,0,	noboot


9.	Place Improved PoliceB.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 = Improved PoliceB

	Police Patrol (police2)
[ POLICE2 ]
Status = on
File = Improved PoliceB

10.	Start up the game, have fun!


For you who wants to use the Bike Patrol Mod (in IV or TLAD), please ADD THE MODEL as POLICEB and insert this string anywhere in vehicles.ide and save:
policeb,	policeb,	bike,		BOBBER,		BOBBER,		VEH@BIKE_FREEWAY,  NULL,	30,	999,		0.2303,	0.2303,		0,	4,	1.0	,0,	noboot

and insert this string anywhere in carcols.dat and save:
policeb,	113,113,113

Bugs:

Blank textures do not work with "vehglass" rendering, so you may see emissive textures on rotators.
Front yellow lights are currently bugged, so they may flash away from its home position.
Will be fixed in later version (I hope).


FAQ:

Q: Why only generic police skin for the police bike?
A: As I said, the work I done to this police bike is limited. I can't do the UV-mapping thing like Bxbugs123 could (needs permission to do so), so only generic police skin is used.

Q: ELS User Guide said only POLICE, POLICE2, AMBULANCE, and FIRETRUK models possess the DROT (DRO1, DRO2, DRO3) ability. Why POLICEB is counted?
A: Some internal game engines, I suppose, which Rockstar hid it, but Lt.Caine has less knowledge (no offense) to game models that possess this. In TBoGT, which I tried myself, POLICE3 and POLICEB models have working rotators.
	When the siren is on, internal rotators will spin inside it. This is counted as compatible with DROT type ability. When the siren is off, the internal rotators will stop rotating, maintaining its position.
	I do notice on POLICEB model, only siren1 and siren2 slots are rotators; others (3, 4, 5, and 6) are not.

Q: Can I replace xxxx model with police bike?
A: Sure, you can do that, but please note, only POLICE, POLICE2, AMBULANCE, and FIRETRUK models (POLICE3 and POLICEB too) possess the DROT ability.
	Other models will not work, which is said that rotators will be static instead of rotating from its dummy position.
	Custom configurations required and is available within the installation.
	However, a potential bug (except replacing TBoGT Police Bike) is that you can't get 1 or 3 passengers to ride together, and (IMO) laptop position when pressing E key will be bugged or go offset from your position.
	Use it at your own risk.

Q: I want to use this with Cyron43's Bike Patrol mod!
A: Certainly. My mod is compatible with Cyron43's Bike Patrol mod, but to get the model used properly in IV or TLAD, you'll need to ADD THE MODEL as POLICEB.
	After that, installation should follow the TBoGT procedure.
	However, I do recommend to use that script in TBoGT only, as to my knowledge, rotators will spin instead of becoming static rotators.
	Use it at your own risk.
