Description:
GTA: Police Stories is one of the biggest total conversions for GTA Vice City ever made. While it completely changes the storyline of GTA VC, it also adds tons of new stuff to the game, such as new side-missions, unlimited time of Vigilante missions, whole city opened from beggining, completely changing rampages... You control officer Paul Redstein, a junior officer who fights crime and Mafia in Vice City. For the first time in the III series, you play as cop. NOTE: This TC was first intended to be for GTA III, but it will be for Vice City, including a storyline based on 1990. year!
Storyline:
The year is 1990. Tommy Vercetti has taken over Vice City. Cubans have gained influence in the city with Vercetti's help. Haitians have suffered much losses, but they're still making deals and trying to take over Vice City and Sharks are still working with them. PIGs and Army have lowered their patrols in the city. Cholos and Rednecks have returned to Vice City, formed their new territory. Bolivian Cartel and Aryan Brotherhood have formed their gangs in the city. Toni Cipriani has escaped to Vice City after killing a made man. A young officer, Paul Redstein, has returned from a six month patrol around the city and he meets his partner, Rico Rodriguez, who welcomes him and helps him break the deal between Sharks and Haitians. # Agent Mark will come later into storyline. # More storyline will come from time to time.

Notes:
Missions: GTA Police Stories will contain various mission types, which will contain stealth, crime fighting, getaway. Some missions will be sneaking through buildings to find good sniping positions, and shoot with sniper. Some will be like 'chase the criminal and arrest him' type, some will be driving away from criminals which chase you, impound vehicle and bring it to Police Station... There will be a tutorial which explains basic and advanced instructions how to play the mod, so it will be for new comers and also for advanced players. When you collect all hidden statues, you'll solve a mystery and discover a drug lab. Then you'll join with S.W.A.T. teams and raid the drug lab.

QUOTE (Jobs)
Currently, some people are wanted for writing scripts, but also for storyline or so (check GTAGarage), since most of our team is inactive.
Ive been making the Liberty City Police Department interior,
Pd int. version 0.1 will be in the next police stories download (Pstories version 1.2) It contains a very wip reception room and an empty investigation room.
Pd int. v0.2 is being made now.
I currently have 3 rooms in progress, -Reception room. (the room with the main front door in) -Incestigation office 1. (some missions will start here i suppose) -Toilet room. (its the save location, walk in and the door closes with save screen ect.)
All rooms are work in progress, with the exeption of the completed toilet room (completed after i released version 0.1 of pd interior.)

i don't own gtaIII for PC but really want to play this!...
Yeah, i was thinking about porting it to the lc mod as an extra, when we have more progress done (maybe when P.S v1.5 is released, i dunno), the only thing that would take any considerable time would be re-writing the mission script for the gta vc/lc engine.
But we are designing it for gta 3 first i think
More news, there is now a GTA: PS Screenshots and Artwork gtagarage topic for screenies and promo artwork.

actually arresting people and taking them to jail would be amazing
also cop cars are all the same colours in real life so.. you might wana fix that.
and finally.. PLEASE MAKE A VERSION FOR THE LC MOD...
i don't own gtaIII for PC but really want to play this!...
Arresting system will be changed in one of the next versions. In the current version you arrest criminals by hitting them with Night Stick, and then your stat - 'Criminals arrested' changes. If you arrest criminal on a mission, a message will be displayed 'CRIMINAL ARRESTED!'. Cop cars are not the same color in all countries (f.e. in Moscow there are more variants of blue, in my country there is a light blue and dark blue variant) so this is not a bug. As for LC mod, I will consider it, but maybe when the final version is released. SA's script is much, much harder than GTA III's one and fixing a bug in SA is very hard. And if you don't own GTA III, that's not a problem. You can download it anywhere on the internet (250 MB).
