Hello everyone,
I am working on a mod which will edit the police notoriety.
What exactly will change?
It will change the type of personell and vehicles that show up when you have archieved a certain police notoriety level as well as the amount of vehicles and the time it takes for more to arrive.
For example now the SWAT team will already come after the player at the notoriety level of 3 with the SWAT Eagle Helicopter and SWAT Lockdowns while at notoriety 4 the SWAT Tornado and the SWAT Bear will join in as well.
I also made some changes to the weapons they use and how they use them. For example the police officers will now use the Sheperd pistol. If you take a look at the police officers in SR TT you will notice that in their holster they have a Sheperd pistol though they use the Kobra pistols which I found a bit unlogical.
Other things about weapons also have been adjusted. For example police personell will now do triple the amount of damage they normally do. SWAT Riot Shielders will now also use the Tek Z10 SMG to shoot at you and SWAT members with AR 55s will now fire full automatic instead of in bursts which makes it much harder to survive against them.
Other stuff also has been changed. SWAT and SNG members will no longer flinch when you shoot at them. This means that when you hit one, he will remain stationairy and keep shooting at you. SWAT and SNG personell also can't no longer be taken hostage.
The roadblocks have also been tweaked. For example, certain notoriety level 2 roadblocks will have spike strips at one side of the road with a cop car standing on the other lane. Also, notoriety level 4 roadblocks will now have SWAT snipers in them and SWAT Bears which most of the time shoot at the player when approaching.
I also included a feature for those who own the Explosive Combat Pack DLC. I will include two downloads, one for the ones with and one for the ones without this DLC. The feature includes the SWAT using grenade launchers armed with flashbangs. (So basically an alternative to make the SWAT use flashbangs since except for dropping flashbangs, they never actually did use them outside of the mission 'When Good Heists Go Bad and the first mission of The Trouble With Clones)
How far am I?
Actually, its almost done, though there still are some bugs to be fixed. Here are some of the bug I still would like to fix before releasing:
- Atm there are no more soldiers spawning at Sierra Point except for the ones that show up because of the 3 star notoriety rating.
- Eagle helicopters sometimes drops of the SWAT team while in the air, resulting in all of them falling to their deads.
- Sometimes SWAT/SNG soldiers jumping out of the helicopter when hovering low above the ground die.
- When having notoriety 5 while on a motorcycle, normal police cars still appear.
- SWAT Lockdowns sometimes only have 1 SWAT member in them.
- Some other small bugs...
Well, they say a picture says thousand words so here are some:
0 Shields
A police helicopter flying over the city. You will see this every now and then.
Me standing near two police motorcycles who seem to have stopped the sports car. I did edit the pulled over cars you would sometimes see at the side of the road. You will no longer see two police cars behind a car but only one, like it is supposed to be.
1 Shield
A police officer at 1 shield trying to catch me in a foot pursuit. They will not shoot yet, you need to have 2 shields.
More non lethal force. I'm in a fist fight with the cop. Another cop has been knocked out and in the background you can see a copper ready to tase me.
What happens when you don't respect the law enforcers a just tased me with another one ready to knock me out at the bottom left of the screenshot.
2 Shields
At 2 shields, the cops set up roadblocks like this one. At the right lane a police car blocking the road with two officer behind it and at the left lane spike strips.
Not all roadblocks have spike strips, like this one. Two police cars blocking the entire road with four officer behind them.
At 2 shields, more cops show up and they will use their Sheperd pistols to take you out. On the picture: me firing at two squad cars with a few officers ready to fire.
As you can see on the picture, at 2 shields, the police opressor helicopter will be send. At each side their is a gunner with a helmet who fires at you with a Kobra pistol and the driver also wears a helmet. When you are in an aircraft yourself you can have two of these chasing you at the same time.
3 Shields
At three shields SWAT joins the hunt. On the picture you can see a SWAT Lockdown van with a driver, passenger and two riot shield officers hanging at the side, chasing me while I am on a motorcycle.
The SWAT will use the Eagle helicopter to chase you and drop troops at the notoriety level of 3. In this case, while I'm in my Black Cyprus VTOL, they come with 2 because I'm airborne myself.
Cops and SWAT trying to kill me (I had invincibilty turned on ;p). You can see a motorcycle cop and a few regular cops near their squad cars shooting at me as well as a riot shield member. In the background you can see a roadblock of two SWAT vans with a third van that has stopped between them and an SWAT Eagle dropping of more troops behind that. Swat the hell!
SWAT will use flashbangs for those with the Explosive Combat Pack DLC.
4 Shields
The SWAT Tornado shows up at 4 shields. Its a real pain in the ass with its minigun and rockets.
At 4 shields the cops will send every unit after you. You will constantly be chased by multiple cop cars like on the picture. The SWAT Tornado also follows and fires at you during a pursuit.
SWAT shows up on jetski's and police commanders when you try to get away in the water.
The Black Unmarked Peacemaker police car now is used by the SWAT and only when the player has notoriety 4. It carrys 4 SWAT officers, just like on the right side of the picture.
The navy blue marked SWAT Bear APC now is also send after the player. It will fire its gun at you and when near, four SWAT members jump out of the back.
A typical notoriety 4 roadblock. It has pieces of concrete, snipers and gunmen with AR55s and a SWAT Bear which will fire its gun at you. On the picture there are also two black unmarked squad cars and two SWAT Lockdowns standing next to the two Bears.
5 Shields
Lots of military, as suspected, with Bulldogs, Bears, Challengers, Armed Eagles, Tornado's, Vultures and Commanders.
Another picture which shows the SNG forces.
Military roadblocks also are being reinforced by concrete pieces of wall, Bears and Challenger Tanks. There are also a bunch of soldiers standing at each roadblock. On the pick you can see a roadblock with 4 Bears (2 are destroyed) and 2 challengers. There is also a soldier with an RPG in front of the tanks.
The military deploys Armed Eagels instead of the original normal SNG Eagles and also the SNG tornado helicopter as well as SNG Commanders Ships. Three vehicles which in the vanilla were unused by the military except for certain missions.
Expect more helicopters while being in the air. Instead of the original two it can go up to four helicopters. In the picture the SNG has deployed 2 SNG Tornado's and 2 SNG Vultures.
