Cop Disguise for Niko Bellic - Part One

Fits Niko perfectly

hat ... not removed when Niko enters a vehicle.

Well done!

Well done

@Razor1096 Thanks, the uppr 001 of m_y_cop here was given a lot more edge loops to be similar in polycount to Niko's standard clothes, as well as tailored to his apparent body shape (taking into account all of his vanilla clothes)

Hat texture has the wrong file. It has the body armour texture (a suse instead of a sus2). Nice Mod.

@bigmouthprik88 OMG I'm so sorry, I totally missed that! Thanks for telling me, I had no idea!

Here's the sus2 002 texture for now, i'll have to update the mod file in a bit.

@BrynnaDaRosa

Thanks. I am wonder if you will do a Alderney State trooper outfit for Niko. Also I made some alternative textures (a sgt, a detective, a Lt. and a capt.) for the mod if you are interested.

@bigmouthprik88 Thanks, but i'm getting a "no longer available" when i go to the link

@BrynnaDaRosa

SORRY. I deleted it because I wanted to improve the textures and add some more. I notice some weird spot in the texture and fix it. I even improved LCPD patch and even remade the low res citation bars to look better. I have also improved the hat texture as well (I really hate how low quality it is.)

I have made tons of variations and also improve the low quality badge and I plan on improving the light blue uniform. I have made a NYPD version of the outfit. I am making more custom outfits (not in file) a security guard, a noose variation and FIB (FBI) version which I am going to upload to this site (I am not going to provide the outfit only the texture and not the files and will place a link to this mod in the description.

Anyway here is the link: https://mega.nz/file/4GdQnCjZ#gOj3bsSAlDmGzwg6QBLLUROlbf6mpJ6YVQ14lDQorG8

@bigmouthprik88 When you say "weird spot" in the texture, what do you mean?

the hat texture was improved a touch initially to get rid of texture seams. I didn't want to do a lazy AI upscale and the police aren't really my bag in the first place.

whenever you make texture alterations you should have a preview of the clothes and the UV just to make sure there aren't any stray pixels or anything interfering

@BrynnaDaRosa

What I meant by is that there is some stray black pixels near the large uniform patch and one near the sleeve ( See image: https://imgur.com/a/iH6O1q7)

I understand. AI upscale can make some textures look awful.

I always constantly check the texture alterations in OpenIV and run it ingame. I use GIMP to edit the textures.

@bigmouthprik88 Don't ask me what for bc i dont know but that black spec definitely serves a purpose if you look at the UV. https://i.ibb.co/0K71NS5/image.png

i would never in a million years use OpenIV to check my changes with its absolute garbage lighting, LOL. but as those black specks your referring to on the badge corners, it looks like its an unfortunate victim of OIV's texture compression that I didn't catch. as you can see in this screenshot it was painted to be seamless and less obviously polygonal but oh well :(

@BrynnaDaRosa

I did not know that served a purpose. I understand. I have also recreated the rain cap that the LCPD cops use.

@bigmouthprik88 I made the rain cap already, it's being released in p2 :)

@BrynnaDaRosa

Oh I see . I am making another texture pack on the light blue uniforms and recreated the unused traffic cop uniform (m_y_cop_traffic) with hat. I am releasing this one today.

https://mega.nz/file/hCs0GLhS#jqCco78Bg5NBuDn3AP8gm0WnWrAwof4RE-Te07TLG0s

I be later releasing custom agencies and security guard outfit. I be releasing that on Thursday.

What about the Swat Outfit?

Nice work!

Perfect for doing some police work on the side after stealing a cop car and accessing the computer.

Special compliments on flattening the belly of the cop's upper body mesh during the conversion of the ped model to the player model. It looks more athletic than the pudgy default cop model and fits Niko better.

The default cop pants look rather slouchy though. In my opinion, the sleaker lower body mesh used for the state trooper (m_y_strooper.wdd) would look way better on Niko. The default police pants texture can still be used, as it uses the same UVW mapping.

Perhaps this could be implemented in a future update?

Personally I like to wear a pair of shades with this outfit, as I patrol the streets in my cruiser, enforcing the law and feeling like a bad a bdas

Keep up the nice work!

Finally updated to add the hat textures i forgot to include. Sorry about that!

Finally the lore accurate outfit to wear for Vigilante missions
