Hi, so I started on the edits, but I feel like if I do this then there would be no reason to donwload the Realistic Cop Spawn Rate anymore. And I want the original author of the mod to still get downloads on his mod, because mine would just replace it.
So instead of doing and uploading the edits I am just going to explain how to make your own compatibility.
Realistic Cop Spawn Rate in Liberty City and Alderney changes the columns PercCopCars PercCopPed in popcycle.dat. So all you have to do is copy the numbers from these columns in the mod into Fidelity Popcycle's popcycle.dat
For simplicity sake I would recommend doing it in Notepad++ where you can hold down Alt+drag the mouse to do a column copy in this way it shouldnt take more than let's say 30m to do these edits.
Since the formatting form my popcycle and Realistic Cop Spawn Rate is not exactly the same I recommend doing it for each district 1 by 1 as if you take the whole column in the file and do a copy/pase it will result in misaligned lines.
Hey, great mod idea, lore friendly and is working great on my downgraded 1.0.8.0. I was wondering if the “Securicar” (called the Stockade in GTAV… the white and green armored money truck) is affected by the police spawns being more rare in this Popcycle? The reason I ask is because you can hear the police dispatch radio while driving the Securicar, and I had a previous Popcycle mod that made police spawns more rare (I know that your mod overwrote it jsyk) and I had trouble finding a Securicar using the same methods that I use to easily find one on a vanilla playthrough. If Securicars aren’t affected by police spawn rates, do you remember what all changes were made to the Securicar spawning in this mod?
Hi, This mod also changes the spawn rates of police vehicles I basically gave it a flat 1% chance to spawn a police car but this only affects the ambient patrol car models like police and police2. When you are being chased or wanted other police cars like 'nstockade', 'fbi' should still spawn.
If you are wondering about the standard gruppe6 security stockade (the model name is simply 'stockade' ) I compared both the vanilla and Potential Grim version of the mod and I am not sure which group would control the spawn of that vehicle. There is a 'secur' line which I suppose stands for security but all lines are set to 0 in both instances.
However since the potential grim version changed the distribution of ped groups it is possible that it could cause these vehicles not spawning as intended. More testing is needed in this regard.
I suggest you try the non-PG version of the mod which still contains my modifications for the day-night cycle of peds, it just doesnt have Potential Grim features. See if that helps.
You can also try boosting the 'frequency' and 'maxnum' values of 'stockade' in the vehicles.ide files in common/data because that controls how often a vehicle will spawn.
I would really like using the downgraded version of the game , but I have an issue where my game starts always with the default windows language by default. The intro text is always german for me but the display language in the menu is english. Only this mod https://gtaforums.com/topic/951200-iv-language-loader/ fixes my issue but it does not work for 1.0.8.0. version of the game. Fusion fix unfortunately does not have a change language feature option. Maybe if the fusion fix developers fixed this for 1.0.8.0. it would be easier to downgrade.
I am not familiar with that modpack, but you can use this mod with it, shouldn't cause any issues. I think my mod will pretty much work with any mods out there, since there aren't a lot of quality popcycles around. So it would be a net positive regardless if you use this particular modpack or not

Unfortunately I dont know a solution to your problem but you can try to see if you get answers in the FusionFix thread over on GTAForums:

Amazing work sir, I would like to ask do we need to downgrade or does this work with the latest version.
Thanks
Thanks and enjoy!
