After around an hour of google-fu'ing, I can't seem to find out how to alter an areas Valid disguises. I already looked through all the XML files in the art folder, but they don't seem to hold it. I'm trying to make it so standard body armor can be used as a disguise for any area that uses normal clothes (business suits, work clothes and the like). Can anyone tell me how to mod them? I would appreciate any help.
It's in the source code. Specifically, it's in the "sitemode" directory of the source code, in the file "stealth.cpp", in the hasdisguise() function. Here, I'll show you the current text of this function, which determines which disguises are valid at which locations:
/* checks if a creature's uniform is appropriate to the location */

Anyway, right there's your list of which disguises work at which locations and when. Oh, and if uniformed is set to 2 instead of 1, those are less-effective disguises for those locations, while when uniformed is set to 1, those are all effective disguises for those locations.
If you want to mod this in the current version, your only option is to edit this file in the source code and then compile and build the project to get a new .exe file based on your modded source code. If you don't have Microsoft Visual C++, I'd recommend using Code::Blocks (choose "codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe", the 3rd of the 4 options
on their download page here... you want one that has "mingw" in its name but DOESN'T have "user" in its name). Once that's installed on your computer,
get the Liberal Crime Squad source code here (click the thingy that says "Download Snapshot" and you'll get the source code as a .zip file). Then you can open up the project by going into the "trunk" folder, then the "workspaces" folder, and double-clicking on the file "game.cbp" (.cbp is the file extension for Code::Blocks Project). Once you open that up, you can go to the left side of the screen and browse the files in the source code and edit and save them. Then to compile and build them into .exe files of Liberal Crime Squad, you select the Build Target near the top of the screen in a little drop-down menu (either "Debug" or "Release") and then go to the "Build" menu at the top of the screen and click the menu item that says "Build". If it succeeds, you'll get a new .exe file for Liberal Crime Squad in either the Debug or Release subdirectory of your workspaces directory, and you can copy and paste that .exe file to the directory where you keep Liberal Crime Squad (since it needs the "init.txt" file and the files in the "art" directory to run properly).
Anyway there's loads of neat things you can mod by editing the source code directly, this is just one of them. Maybe someday in a future version we might change it so that stuff like this isn't hardcoded into the .exe but is stored in the "art" directory in .xml files that you can mod, without having to mess with the source code. But currently this is how it works, if you want the ability to mod which disguises work without editing source code you should ask for it here as a feature request. Anyway editing source code to mod the game is just as easy as editing .xml files to mod the game... OK not QUITE as easy, but ALMOST as easy, once you get used to it and have a compiler like Code::Blocks up and running.
Well, I hope that was helpful and hopefully you'll try out this option for modding the game. Or if you don't feel like doing it if it requires modifying the source code, that's fine too. I'm just here to help.
