@William Afton
Seems the creator of the skin removed the addon, sadly. I'm sure there are other Michigan State Police CVPI skins you can use on the workshop. Sorry about that. Also let me know if you run into any issues with the vehicle because I uploaded this addon back in 2016 and haven't updated or used it since so I can't say that the addon is working 100% in its current state.

Thanks for offering help though Geiger. I appreciate having someone standing behind me to help me when I need it. If you need help with anything I'll happily do the same.
xtermn8 8 Apr, 2016 @ 4:34am 
Actually I have very few icons. The automatic file clean, I won't do that because I don't know if it'll remove anything that isn't trash. Right now I'm just removing my mods from Garry's Mod and making a collection so I can slowly re-add them later. Same for ETS2 and CS:GO. If none of that works we'll go from there.

@xtermn8_TCH
Do you have a ton of icons on your desktop? Because that can be on big factor. You should be able to do an automatic file clean up(getting rid of trash files taking up processing power) and also defrag your hard drive. Any none of those 3 things work, then message me some time and ill see what else it could be.
xtermn8 7 Apr, 2016 @ 4:06am 
Errors actually in the system console. Like the computer tried to do a crucial startup process and couldn't do it within 30 seconds or something. There is something wrong here.
xtermn8 7 Apr, 2016 @ 4:05am 
Well, i got some bad news. Because of (i think the mods are the problem) nearly 2000 garry's mod mods and 100 ETS2 mods my harddrive is basically trashed again. What the heck ;-;

Errors out the wazoo and the thing is slow as crap. I hate my life somtimes.

I completely understand. Depression isn't a fun thing, but as long as you enjoy your job, you'll enjoy life. Just don't let the depression completely consume you as that's a horrible thing to have happen.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 4:12pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
Well I wish I still had a life, but ever sence I started work, its been consuming my life and I been on and off depressed. But, need to make money you know?
xtermn8 13 Feb, 2016 @ 4:09pm 
Yea, that's not very fun sounding.... It's nice that you've found things that you like and are interested in though, as many people haven no lives outside of video games...

But because of the control feak side of him and the paranoia of losing his "cult" members he killed those NBC news reporters and all because some members of his "cult" were wanting to leave because they were pretty much being held prisoners. So once members started to leave, he really lost it. After he sent members to kill those news reporters and US senator that came to get those members, he ordered that mass suicide(around 900). People who didn't want to drink the poisoned laced kool-aid were ether force fed the stuff or held down and injected with the stuff they put into the kool-aid. There are actually a few news reporters and members that survived(ran and or hid) that tell there stories to this day.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 3:57pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
It was a mix of both. The guy had a great idea and meant well(well, for some time that is), but he did drugs which really made him paranoid and all(explaining why he killed those new reporters and US senator) also because of the drugs became kind of a control freak, it tied in with the paranoia, thats why Jones town went down hill from the start. He was also missed up in the head, the signs showed as a child, heck when he was a kid, he killed a cat then held a funeral for it. But if it wasn't for his mental instability, drugs, and lieing, he would have been a great person with great intentions. There are some good documentarys on youtube to watch.
xtermn8 13 Feb, 2016 @ 10:43am 
So that's how it came about. Was he just wrong in the head or was he on something? Also, Ssundee isn't necessarily a 'funny' Youtuber, but I just like some of the stuff he does. Especially things like modpacks that I don't have or won't get due to the high risk of viruses/malware.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 6:34am 
@xtermn8_TCH
See that I can understand. But then there are people who watch people play games they already own. A lot of people find those youtubers "funny" but to me they just act stupid. But thats just me. Also yep..he was a messed up guy and thats where the phrase "Don't drink the kool-aid" came from.
xtermn8 13 Feb, 2016 @ 3:39am 
I just googled 'jim jones jonestown'... wow.
xtermn8 13 Feb, 2016 @ 3:38am 
Well, for someone like me, who doesn't own COD, it's actually awesome. I also watch another YouTuber named Jeff Favignano play GTA V LSPDFR where's he is a cop instead of a criminal. I don't own GTA so that's awesome. I mainly watch people play games that I don't have but want to own, or people like Ssundee where I just like his content and have interest in his series.

@xtermn8_TCH
If you goolge Jim Jones and Jones town, you'll be pretty shocked. Veitnam probably has to be my favorite war time in hisotry, besides the cold war. But when im board late in the night, ill usally benge watch siren vids and what not, so we both have to much free time, lol. But im not much of a fan of youtube gamers, i don't see the point.
xtermn8 12 Feb, 2016 @ 4:20pm 
I have an interst in nuclear physics, and since my dad has a doctors degree in physics, he's expecting me to get one too. time to start grindin the text books. I've never heard of Jim Jones, but I don't know much about history. I hate history and literature, mainly because I find them boring and quite frankly, too old. I have an interst weirder than car washes... I scour forums and video game servers/websites and look at their pay to win ranks and perks that go with them just for the heck of it... I have way, way too much free time lol. I can also tell you just about anything you want to know about the YouTuber Ali-A. I'm an Ali fanboy, and a massive COD/CS:GO guy. I like the violent games, but oddly enough, I love games like ETS2 lol.
xtermn8 12 Feb, 2016 @ 4:17pm 
I actually have a massive interest in WWII and Veitnam since my late grandfather serverd in Veitnam as a Navy Lieutenant Commander. I know a bit about Fat Man and Little Boy, and I had to write a paper on Pearl Harbor so now I know a good bit about that. yes, balancing odd ball stuff with the normal and realistic stuff would be amazing, but we all know that that'll never happen. You could help by making that PI with LEDs everywhere xD. Make it top TDM's Taurus. I find tornado sirens interesting, but know very little about them as I live in the middle-east of the US, a place where tornados are relatively uncommon (I'm cool with that). Car washes are really weird to know a lot about, but who knows, you could design them one day. Not a very large maket for it, but hey, somebody's gotta do it. I like car washes and love driving through them with my dad.


P.S. What music do you listen to?

@xtermn8_TCH
That is what exactly keeps the workshop(and the world) alive. If you balance out odd ball stuff and real stuff, the world will be amazing. As for me I can tell you everything about tornado sirens(or almost everything), car washes(almost everything), i can tell you anything about the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl nuclear disasters by heart and last but not least everything about Jim Jhones and Jones town(i like to study psychology and sociology so thats why i know a lot about that huge massacre).
And thank you!
xtermn8 12 Feb, 2016 @ 4:06am 
I totally agree with you on everything there. I remember that at one point SGM made a really weird car that was made half out of cardboard that was like a racing Honda... It's really weird, but I like it. A lot of other people do too, so if that's any indication of what'll happen, you should just go for it. I also find joy and intrest in a lot of weird things, especially police equipment, cars (like ones from the 90s, not 60s :P), and strangely enough, I was a few years ago infatuated with tornados and tornado sirens. I'm a weird guy, and the fact that I can tell you nearly anything you want to know about the Glock pistols doesn't help. I'm a straight up gun nerd. In terms of attractiveness, you're right, but go absolutley crazy once and see what people think of it. An LED just about everywhere would be crazy and demented, but for all we know, could be your most popular upload ever. If you want, I could offer suggestions.

P.S. Happy belated birthday!

@xtermn8_TCH
Like wise with you, with the maturity level and all. I actually just turned 19 on tuesday. But i got to say this is the longest discusstion i've had with someone about emergency lighting(i find a lot of intrest in a lot of odd ball stuff. Tornado sirens, lots of things) . But as far as the skin, i do have a good friend(he did the skin on my suburban) that would be able to do it but i just haven't wanted to bother him with it yet. You know i been really tempted to upload just a complete stupid car, like a light bar and LED for every square inch of the car, lol. But a christmas tree car, can look rather unattractive. The way i see it as far as lighting goes, you need to balance the attractivness of the car with the lights and have enough(or not to many) for it to be safe for visibility.
xtermn8 11 Feb, 2016 @ 5:51pm 
Sorry for all the lenghty responses. You're the only person I've found that I can fully discuss these things with and share my full opinion without explaining random stuff, like what Whelen is. Also, about how old are you? You seem very well educated in the field and are very mature in maner. I'm a young teen believe it or not.
xtermn8 11 Feb, 2016 @ 5:49pm 
Honestly though, if I was on a budget but needed high-visibility cars, I'd put in a Whelen Justice since (from what i heard) it's cheap and I know it's good. It's my fav next to the Code 3 MX 7000. The reason being it's what the older CVPIs were fitted with where I live, except in all blue. At least they were fitted with something similar. I'd get a LED pushbar (sentia is the brand i think) that has an LED on the side and two (maybe 4) in front and have a Whelen Ion R/B split in the grille. Same on the mirrors. I'd have to R/B/W LEDs on the skirt. Front and back. A R/B/W LED in the rear window, and in the back I'd have Dualvipers, some bumper-mounted Ions (not split) in R/B and that'd be it. Honestly though, if I had unlimited money, I'd go MAD with the lights.
xtermn8 11 Feb, 2016 @ 5:45pm 
I know Tokimune makes skins. Not anymore as single mods, but if you do a collab with him (I think it's a guy) you could actually make something absolutley sick! Just go crazy. Add as many lights as you can. Humor me. Add 2 LED beacons and 2 light beacons. Add lights on the antennae, other weird things that you'll never see. Have a Valor combined with an r/b NYPD lightbar. Put enough lights on the rear and front so that you'll be blinded when looking at it. Normally mod creators don't like doing this, but make it an absolutley retarded car. I'll sub and fav it every day of the year.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 11 Feb, 2016 @ 3:23pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
Also thanks! Im kind of suprised people are still subbing to it even though dagger took down his skin and it not having a skin at the moment(until i get another one made).
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 11 Feb, 2016 @ 3:22pm 
xtermn8_TCH
Or at least one or two LED's on the skirt or a dual LED on the side windows. Thats the problem with standard bar light bars, they have full visibility front and back, but at the sides, meh. Thats why federal signal made the SLR, Valor, Vector. Those light bars provide full visible coverage.
xtermn8 11 Feb, 2016 @ 2:38am 
Btw, congrats on 999 subs :P
xtermn8 11 Feb, 2016 @ 2:36am 
You make a point. If you went overboard with lighting, you may have a big budget cut because you're wasting money on more lighting than you need. Honestly though, I think that skirt lighting should be a thing that a lot of police cars have. It provides the crucial side visibility that police cars are infamous for having very little of.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 10 Feb, 2016 @ 5:43pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
You'd be suprised by how little of lighting you could have and still be within safe levels of visibilty. My countys car(we have diffrent cars but all our new cars consist of the chevy caprice and the ford taurus.) All our cars are pusuit ready(heavy duty wrap around push bars) and the only lighting our normal patrol cars use are a light bar, two licence plate LEDS and one LED on each side of the push bar and you can see the thing from a mile away.
xtermn8 10 Feb, 2016 @ 4:29pm 
The police cars where I live are also pretty stupid. Let's go with the Dodge Chargers. They have no grille lighting from what I've seen. They have a little LED strip on the side of the push bar, and nothing on the front. The only front visibility that they have is their lightbar. I've never actually determined what light bar they use, but I've seen sevral, including one that looks a little like the NYPD lightbar in terms of shape. The triangle shape I've only seen once as far as I know. Idk what the others were. I'll need to figure it out. Side visibiltiy? Lightbar only. In the rear they'll usually have the lightbar and some lower-deck Single Vipers. Somtimes they're dual. I don't think they have wig-wags, but I rarely see a cruiser with lights on. Also, I still haven't been able to figure out if IRL they actually have different light patterns based on response code. Do you happen to know if they do?
xtermn8 10 Feb, 2016 @ 4:25pm 
Very true. When you think about it, the NYPD lightbars are 5 beacons. I really like how you wanted to keep accurate to real life, and I highly respect that. Very good job. But yea, if they're really concerned for safety, there's a lot more they could do than a little beacon styled set of 16 or so LEDs. I'm assuming there are 4 LEDs per mini-strip in the beacon. Honestly though, I hate the NY light setup. Their lightbars are stupid and ineffective overall, and their solid mirror, grille, and push bar lights are absolutley useless. They don't have blue as a light color, which I can appreciate, but seriously, it's just better.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 10 Feb, 2016 @ 3:40pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
I watched many videos trying to get a idea of how the LED set up is. From the videos i had seen it's set up like they way i have it and the other set up is a single perfect wrap-around LED that does a swipe type effect(acting like the old rotators). As far as the rest of the car, the LEDS that are on the car in game are the same exact places they are in real life. No more, no less. Now if its a slick top, it will have mirror LEDS and some odd looking flood light type LEDS mounted to a bigger push bar than the one you see in game. Also i totally get what you mean, I get tradition, but you got to think at some point is that really the most safe idea? Like you said "a Whelen Justice would do more justice than a little beacon". Heck, they could have the light set up of the FDNY and it would be safer than a single beacon that still has a rotating effect.
xtermn8 10 Feb, 2016 @ 2:55am 
I respect that very highly and completely understand that feeling. I personally don't see how MSP didn't add more than 4 LED strips. Seriously, did the thought of adding 8 even occur to them? It would be a cheap enough investment and would provide some crucial corner visibility that's hard to get from the back and side, even with the interior-mounted LEDs. Unless of course they have rear-door mounted LEDs, but I don't think they do. All-in-all, I appreciate that MSP wants to stay true to tradition, but let's fact it, a Whelen Justice would do more justice than a little beacon. (Pun intended).
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 9 Feb, 2016 @ 6:50pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
See thats what bugs me so much. I want to have more LED's in it(filling the side angle gaps between the LED's that are in there already), but I want to stay real to the MSP design(or any real life car, if thats what im making). So im stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sadly I usally like to stay true to the real life car, unless im making a car from scratch that isn't real.
xtermn8 9 Feb, 2016 @ 2:01pm 
There's (as far as i know) a slight dif between a gumball light and a beacon. I was told once that the signs are sharkfins, but I seem to have forgotten :P. I think that increasing the movement/flash speed of the LEDs would be a good idea. OR what you could do is instead of (4 was it?) LED bars, you could have 8 inside the plastic. Just double what you have and increase the flash speed, unless you want to keep it EXACTLY what MSPD has, in which case, it's all you. Idk anything about MSPD, but I do the other MSPD (Maryland).
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 9 Feb, 2016 @ 12:35pm 
@xtermn8_TCH
Well they still use becons. Just LED becons. They still have a rotating effect to it with the flash patterns but flash a lot faster so visbility won't be a concern. Or all the LED's could flash at once, depending on what they want to do. They keep the becon(gumball) light and sign(sharkfin) because its part of their tradition.
xtermn8 9 Feb, 2016 @ 12:22pm 
True, true. I certainly see what you mean by that, but for some reason, it might not be Michigan and I'm just confuzzled (confused), i thought that Wiki said that Michigan is one of the only states to still use beacons instead of light bars. Beacon in this case meaning rotating light. Again, it may be another state.
FIRETEAMBRAVO  [author] 9 Feb, 2016 @ 11:22am 
@xtermn8_TCH
Like they say, "everything works out in the end". I don't know a whole lot about the MSP, but from what I do know they started using LED's due to the fact a single rotating light won't been seen at all angles constantly and will take time to be seen by some one at an angle depending where they are standing and what the lighting position is as the light is rotating. So it being a non-rotating LED makes it a lot safer for the driver of the car and other drivers on the road.

xtermn8 9 Feb, 2016 @ 9:18am 
I've been growing out of the game for a while, and this pushed me over the edge. It's just too full of newbs, skrubs, ragers, and 9 year olds. Garry's Mod is at least a fun game for car nerds like me. On the bright side, now my computer's FPS is awesome in Gmod, even with about 40 cars spawned in. This being, I can properly judge the response codes. They're really good, but I think that the beacon on top should be a revolving light, not LED based thing, unless MSP has LED beacons as opposed to revolving lights. Also, you should allow the removing of the sign on the hood. Not sure if you can do it as-is, but if you can't, that's what I'd do to spice the car up a bit.
