I love the new police skins (cars) but could there by any chanse be difrent unit numbers on every car (t would be easyer to locate /orgenise units that way)

Becuse it takes time.

There is no set date. It will just be released along with Paralake V2 when Stephen is done.

1. What is the max speed of the new upcoming: - Charger SRT-8 - Crown Victoria and the Charger SRT-8 2012?
2. Will you be allowed to patroll in the Medic Prius?
3. Is the max. amount of police cars still 5 after the update? Or will you be able to spawn 5 Chargers SRT-8 And 5 Crown Victoria's? If it will be max 5 cars and the LT wants to spawn his BMW M5 while there are already 5 police cars, can he spawn his car then?

1) Crown Victoria and Charger are slightly faster than the BMW M1. Charger 2012 version is closer to that of a Ferrari 512 TR. From how I remember Xquality set them up to be.
2) Yes, it will function much the same as the Dodge Ram offered for firefighters currently.
3) Max amount of police cars is determined by the mayor, of any type, however premium can spawn their own police vehicle beyond this limit.

When I am.

Because as you may note by the number of posts in this "when is this coming out" and other phrases much the same. It was the first reply post on all of this for goodness sake. So we don't do it in interest of combining the best features with the time it may take to implement. And at this time there is no way for lieutenant to assign unit numbers or anything else, so it would require all sorts of new infrastructure that isn't in place now thereby taking up several days worth of effort when there is plenty more going on. It should be clear by my log that there is ton being done most every day already, so there's no way for me to work any harder on this than I am so some features have to sit on the back burner until a later date.

Fun post!

There are roughly 576 characters in this picture, see how many you can spot that look similar in more than one part, a part being shirt,pants,shoes,and undershirt (keep in mind, the whitish circle looking thing on the shirt, is actually a monogram, so it has a letter, so it probably isn't really the same as another nearby).

Good luck and have fun with it =P

Alex believes a person's neck is part of their shirt, pants, shoes, or undershirt, good to know.

In your post you stated that you can get the taxi job with any vehicle, does that mean you can spawn the taxi when You have any vehicle or does it mean you can use all cars as taxi?

It means you need to own a vehicle in order to get the job, the job itself still uses the Ford Crown Victoria, but set up to look like a taxi, unlike the personal vehicle of the same model. This is basically to ensure people know the map (unlikely you have a car but don't know map) since delivery and taxi both require you to find certain destinations without asking someone else of the same job like police could do.

Kind of, but it is not the focus for this upcoming update. Also many ideas in this need to be determined as it could be good or a total pain for all players.

I'm amazed by how awesome the dash lights are and I have no clue how you managed to do it.
Maybe people will actually turn their headlights on now.

BTW, Stephen, I'm really impressed by how much you can do in such a short time!

It is one of the many things, like clothes that I stumbled upon after a lot of sifting through VALVe articles about their games. So it got me thinking, but how can I do something like Gmod, after much research I found the key and it kinda exploded into a variety of new features. Anyways let me tell you, it gets stressful trying to keep up with everything even the slightest change can make. But also it's not as short of time as you think, there's a reason I only post one thing per day lol, and that's after several hours of work.

Not exactly at this time, there's an idea of what will come of this floating out there, but for the time being, it is too much extra to do since it isn't as simple as giving your car to someone else if all goes as planned.
