Happy to be a part of the team and to help out where I can.

You shared it on GameBanana before even getting our approval. You posted it there before you asked here.

I had Lucas restore this topic as I want it to remain public for the time being

Nice to see you didn't actually listen to Loren: gamebanana.com/gamefiles/10215

No, we don't typically condone unofficial redistributions of our tools and mods.

We would prefer you share the official downloads for them if you'd like to share them with others.

Holy s***, those new interiors look fantastic!

Update!

Bet you didn't see this coming, did you?

I've had this update lying around for a while. I was planning on potentially doing some larger changes to the mod (perhaps making a 1.1) but I think I'll save that for another time. For now, you can enjoy this update's main feature: New interior models!

Storm Over Springfield was my first ever experience with SketchUp, and I was...pretty bad at it. Recently I decided to try and re-do all the interiors from SOS and improve them. Here are some comparison screenshots:

Unfortunately I had to remove the Dropbox download link because I can't remember what the account password I used for it. Hopefully this won't be a problem.
This update also features a new and improved model for the Bible Camp Bus. This change was entirely coincidental and was not related to anything that has happened recently, nope, not at all.

Enjoy!

I'm sorry for the bump but I was told I can bump as long as I contribute to the topic. So I decided to write a review for the mod which I played in past couple of weeks when I had some free time:

I enjoyed playing the demo. All 4 missions are well done and I didn't find them too difficult (I only failed second and third mission once, while first and fourth I did in first try). They are fine in terms of difficulty and length. Like I said, I failed second mission once because I got caught by the mafia in that narrow street before I got to the main road (to be more exact, before I reached the cement truck) but in second time I had no problem with avoiding all of that, while the third mission I failed because I was seen by the driver when I tried to sneak from behind the truck, so then I tried a different angle to approach which worked. For people who may have a problem here, I recommend going around the Try-N-Save and then rush to the back of the truck and you should do the objective fine. I suppose these types of ASF objectives can be tricky because it leaves no room for mistakes, meaning if you fail, you have to redo the mission from beginning, which can be irritating if it's a difficult and/or long mission. Thankfully it's not really the case here.

In last mission where I destroyed Mayor Quimby's car, on way driving to the Police Station, I was expecting for an extra "avoid mafia" type of objective just before reaching the final objective but there wasn't, so it's better it ended without this objective, at least for now. Maybe there will be in final version, maybe in a future mission, who knows? Just a minor suggestion unless the missions are already done.

Now to reply to what 97Meter suggested:

For the clue, I personally didn't have any trouble finding it, so if anyone has trouble finding that clue, I can only spoil a little bit:

The Road Rage music was ok to me. I don't mind it and it's nice to have a different song once in a while. I know there have been at least 2 mods that used it for the level driving song and I think it's pretty cool. It can get annoying and repetitive after a while but I still like it as a variation from time to time.

The races and clothes are indeed not working at the moment. I also find annoying where I play a mod and when I try to talk to the people who host the races or bonus missions or selling vehicles and the game crashes. It's not usually a problem because I save the game often (and use several slots, one per each mission, since saves are stored separately per each mod). Since this is just a demo, I am not complaining about this. But I just wish that when mods get released in final state, they don't have this problem with the non-existing races or the bonus mission not working or other glitches that affect the level completion, because for example in the other cop-related mod, Homer the Detective, I didn't like how two of races didn't work, so I couldn't even unlock the last vehicle and in turn, not being able to complete level 100% because of these minor glitches.

Back to Cops in Springfield, I really hope the final version of mod to be as polished as Storm Over Springfield was. It is my favorite mod released so far (from all the mods I have played so far, I didn't play yet most mods released this year or some that got released last year, I will try to play them eventually, when I have more free time) as it had everything well done and the whole level could be 100% completed too. I don't remember having any issues with SOS, if there were any issues, they were probably very minor and didn't affect the experience of mod at all. So I hope CIS will be just as good as SOS was.

The only remaining suggestions I can give at the moment for the final version is to make the font light blue, to better suit the theme of the mod. And try to also look into the glitch that causes the Hit & Run meter to be restored upon entering and exiting an interior. The same glitch that happened in Homer the Detective. It's not that big of a deal because I think during missions, the Hit & Run meter gets disabled anyway, so this only affects free roaming if you want to get all the collectibles before starting missions, which is what I usually do with every mod.

Overall, the demo was really good and I'm looking forward to the final product.

I think it would be nice to recreate a Springfield from a game "The Simpsons Virtual Springfield". Here map is much more opened compared to one in SHAR.

You need to make sure that the Old Primitive Group for the window mesh is at the bottom of the Mesh hierarchy. Alternatively, you could make the windows a separate mesh and add a Composite Drawable Prop into the Composite Drawable chunk (with the transparency setting enabled) although this is a bit overkill since it's not really necessary unless you have multiple transparent objects.

If this were to get released, it would probably make for some really cool mod concepts honestly. I know like practically no LUA but I'm sure some talented people could make some amazing stuff with these kind of powers.

Even just that explosion effect there could probably be used to good effect with some kind of 'attack' thing like missiles are falling from the sky and stuff. Really exiting stuff!

Now that looks very promising. I hope that can at least be in a beta phase soon. I'm itching to play with that.

The purpose of the bounty is for motivation. Not as payment. And it may catch the eye of people who know more about this stuff, and aren't vocal within the community.

I'm not paying someone for the mod itself, I'm saying if someone takes their own time to create a functional one then they will have their efforts paid out since it is such a big request

And then Donut Team makes a hack that does something like this without requesting anything in exchange. Seriously, you didn't need to offer any kind of bounty. Donut Team gives us all of their tools for free (with the exception of several people making fun of Jake Raviøli's name).
