Quick question - Does it work when placed inside Modloader?

@XG417 Yes

Nice man.

are you planning to do this in the future for sa:de?

An excellent mod, everything is carefully thought out and does not cause conflicts or incompatibilities with anything, very convenient and simple settings, there is no need to rewrite anything.
Just wondering how to get, for example, ordinary cops to use the entire arsenal of weapons prescribed by them, or how to choose the main weapon? There is a good mod Change Police Weapons v0.1, but there is not a lot of choice, though it will work well with cops_incars_fire.cs and CopsDriveBy.cs

What is the chance make this also for vehicles of public service and police cars?

Actually there is incompatibility with PedFuncs. When I play with both installed PedFuncs doesn't seem to work.

Probably you need to change the AI. If I allow the mod to add an AK for example the cops won't use it.

Maybe I'll do it.

@GrGTaGamer: Just tested it by adding the SF cop model as a variation to the LS cop model and it works as smooth as butter, nice work! Although there's just one little problem: I've noticed a weird, short stutter when lots of cops were around at 4+ wanted stars. I filled all 20 variation slots with the IDs 281 and 280.

The stuttering is probably due to the weapons variation check. I will fix it. It should only happen when new peds are created otherwise it's not due to my mod.

You don't have to fill all slots if you only have 2 models (unless you want to give a model more chances). If you add just id 281 the cops will spawn with id 280 and 281.

It is impossible to make full compatibility with all existing mods, I think that the ability to add  of full value models is much more interesting than just textures, by the way, if my memory serves me, a little-known mod "extex" by Ryosuke  was taken as a basis for PedFuncs. I tried PedFuncs, I'm not interested, VehFuncs causes me bugs and  plugin  FixMALE01.SA.asi periodically causes the game to crash.

I haven't figured with this yet, but I remembered some more scripts: swatM4 and GangsterSWATFix

That would be great!

Great mod, but is it possible for make vehicle variations in the future?
like more police car, ambulances, firetrucks spawn?
it would be great to merge it to this mod.

Game crash after entering and exiting Caligula's Casino several times.
0x00464C27
ModLoader also mention PedVariations.asi in crashlog.

Nah, forget it. It was World Beyond the Limit cleo script lol.

Major mod update. Mod renamed to Model Variations. Vehicle variations Added.

Tested it out for myself. Got some variations on Emergency Vehicles, finally!

This mod's become a real game-changer 

Wonder if it would be possible to set certain variations to spawn in specific zones in future updates? 

Excellent, now unused Firetruck and copcar I added on game finally got a job.

Nice!

Be careful with Firetrucks and Ambulances. They may crash the game. It's something to do with their seats. You can add the firetruck to an ambulance (so there will be a chance that a firetruck will spawn as an ambulance, not useful but it's funny) but added cars as ambulances or firetrucks may crash.

Fixed

Makes me curious as to how you did it. Great job! Would you be so kind as to be willing to share the source code, @GrGTaGamer?

Fantastic idea for mod!

I have a question - how to import different models of same vehicles and have them in game simultaniusly? In which subfolder of modloader should I place them?

For example I want to add VC variant of Comet and also to have the one from SA...

You should add it as normal vehicles, this mod doesn't required if you want to do that,
just grab a fastman limit adjuster, grab some VC comet mods that already converted to SA, add it to game using this tutorial, and add the vehicle name to cargrp.dat placed on data folder.

Modloader are optional but really recommended to install the models.

So fire truck and ambulances are unstable at this moment,
I wonder what's that got to do with the "seats" you mentioned.

is it because the vehicle really required to have four seats or have van type handling flag to be ambulances?

I haven't tried making them spawn to respond to emergencies, but so far Ambulance Variants do spawn in-game while parked

I'm guessing the crashes happen only when they're responding?

Fixed in V1.1

I signed up to say that this is an awesome mod! Hope this gets more attention!

I used this so I could get the rid of the PedTweaks mod since I had some problems with it.

I have a question, are Taxi variations in the plans yet? It would be really cool. I know there is a cleo script for it, but afaik it breaks the taxi sign light and it would be better having everything in one package.

Great mod so far, works flawlessly for most vehicle models. However, my game is crashing while reaching 6-star wanted level and I'm using both Barracks and Rhino entries, maybe you could replicate what I did?

What where you doing when it crashed? Where you driving a Barracks or a Rhino? What models did you add to these?

I put added vehicles inside both of these vehicles within the .ini file, it doesn't matter whether I'm inside any of these vehicles or not, the game still crashes sometime after reaching 6-star wanted level.

Remove the Rhino variations and see if it crashes again. Also if you can install CrashInfo and save the log and post it here, else fastman92 limit adjuster and modloader both save logs post them here. 

How long does it take to crash? I am testing with standard game models replacing Rhino and Barracks and it seems to be ok.

1/2 minutes before the game finally crashes, the CrashInfo said it's related to the police AI.

I added an extra police car, but somehow the 2d light effect doesn't work. I tried then replacing the San Fierro police car (copcarsf) and the lights show up since it has the lightbar dummies.

Do I need to use ImVehFt? I looked at the readme file but by siren lights I guess you meant the lit up lightbar textures (ala head/rearlights), which my model doesn't feature, not the 2DFX effect - right?

Thanks.

Use fastman92 Limit Adjuster's model_special_features.dat.

V2 Update

• Fixed cops appearing in army roadblocks
• Added per city variations

Y'all have to change your INIs.

Man this mod just keeps getting better and better! So much of my unused Emergency Vehicles are getting their time to shine now 

A couple more questions:

• Does vehicle variations work for Emergency Vehicles only, or does it also work for Civilian vehicles too?
• -Now that Per-City variations have been added, is it possible to narrow the filter down to really specific zones? Like for example, a certain vehicle variation only spawns in "Whetstone" or "Back o' Beyond" or something like that?

Keep up the good work, dude!
