Siren Mastery | Fully master your siren tones! 1.6.1.0

Splendid mod, starting to get the hang of it now. I would prefer if after pressing any of the number keys a second time, only that siren (and any dual tones) would turn off while keeping the lights on, rather than hitting a separate button to turn just the sirens off. Or is this already a feature/planned feature and I've just overlooked it?

"Pressing the 'force siren' button while that siren is active will now switch off your sirens" - this is refferring to 1-8 keys, correct? You should be able to press whatever siren tone you just enabled and it will turn off the siren, correct? Because it's not working for me :/ 

Also, it'd be (mc)awesome to have a setting in the .ini to be able to have your siren stay on after you exit the vehicle. This will kind of add to the immersion, similar to real life, how you have to remember to turn it off. 

Anyways, phenomenal job! You never fail to impress. I honestly thought your mods couldn't get any better - boy was I wrong! I think each one gets even better than the previous.

Hi @Albo1125 i am having this same issue. Any Ideas? Many thanks

Hey, Dewar. I figured it out. Check your vehicles folder in your Siren Mastery folder. If you added custom sirens and the file size is over 15.5Mb, it will mute all sirens in the dictionary. Albo told us that, I obviously didn't listen lol. Just redo the step where you have to extract the vehicles.awc to .WAV, then copy your vehicles folder over with the new one. Best of luck!

Hi Jon

Thanks for letting me know. Only modded the GTA Sirens and didn't add anymore but will look into that.

Many thanks

Hey, that first thing should definitely work - are you sure you replaced the files with the latest versions?

Sirens when leaving vehicles are planned :)

Hey, this should already be the case! If you hit the currently active siren key it'll shut off your sirens.

How do you make the controller on screen smaller?

Yeah, I replaced everything. :/ And I'm glad that that's in the works :D I'll try re-installing it again

Albo!! I would love you even more (if you could believe it ) if you could add an option to automatically switch on Siren 1 after leaving the vehicle (as long as any Primary, Secondary, or ForcedOnly siren is already active at the time of exiting the vehicle, so it doesn't turn on no matter what, of course).

But PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't make it enable Primary siren upon exit. Instead make it activate whatever is set to Siren 1, because one of my Secondaries is set as my Primary so I can toggle between that and another Secondary without the Primary/Siren 1 in the way while using the ToggleSecondarySiren= settings keybind (as you know that keybind goes primary, secondary, primary, secondary), then I set Siren 1 (or what should be Primary) as ForcedOnly and assigned it to a lone key (if that makes sense). That way one key toggles my two Secondaries (Siren 3 & 6), one key toggles my Primary (or Siren 1) on/off, one key toggles Manual siren (which is set as Siren 2), one key activates the Horn on press, and one turns the siren sound on/off. However you can work out the .ini, I would love to simply see a command line that read something like this:

"Change Siren number here that you wish to loop upon exiting a vehicle (a siren must be active upon exiting to enable this feature)

Choices are 1 - 10

Default Setting: 1

Siren Loop Upon Vehicle Exit: 1"

Thank you so much for your work, brother; and expect a Paypal transaction from me soon!

Holy shit that was confusing, hopefully he has some sort of clue what you're going on about. I'm hoping whatever tone is playing when you exit is the tone that stays on, as it would in real life.

EDIT:

Scratch my idea/rambling. Looking at this as an LEO, obviously my squad car will/should keep playing whatever siren I was using when I jumped out of the car. Obviously it won't know to change sirens when I open the door...Either way, like your idea and can't wait to see it happen!

Glad you like the idea! Sorry, I didn't mean for the initial post to come across as rude.

Working on it  And thanks for the ideas guys! @Techengage it's always good to hear them!

Hey, @Albo1125! I've recently installed Siren Mastery. Everithing works great, except one thing - the " SirenMastery_ReloadUI" console command. Seems like RPH does not recognize it at all. Even when i type "help" in my console it shows "?????????????" by the plugin name. I'm running RAGE Plugin Hook v0.45. Any idea why it doesn't work?

Hi, this should be fixed in the next update! 

Regs.

1.3.1.0 (28-08-2016)

• Fixed a crash when switching to certain vehicles without siren support.
• Hopefully fixed the cause of various audio playback issues some people were experiencing.
• Supports more wav file types.
• Fixed an issue caused by localisation settings when reading volume levels for separate sirens.
• Added default siren setups for the police bike.
• Fixed an issue that caused the console command to reload the UI not to work for some people.
• Added a new download that contains information on uploading custom sirens or UIs for Siren Mastery.
• Fixed various minor wording issues, improved performance slightly and fixed various small errors.

Well, that was quick :D

Hey Albo! I installed the new version today and quite unexpectedly am getting a game crash as soon as I spawn a vehicle.(that is listed in the XML) Not when LSPDFR and the plugins load. I have triple checked the folder names to make sure everything is updated. I don't see how it shouldn't have worked before but thought I would do the folders for better organization. When I delete the xml, it works fine. I must be blind cause even with the XML Notepad++ syntax colors, I cannot find an issue.

Below is crash log and .xml

@Albo1125,

Your most recent update has solved my audio issue for the sirens. Thank you very much! SirenMastery is now in full use on my end.

The " SirenMastery_ReloadUI" command works now, but it only reloads the .ini files. All the images remain the same, even though they are replaced in the "UI" folder.

Unfortunately due to game limitations this is the case.

I'm getting the same exact crash, so at least you're not alone. ;)

Mine occurs the moment I enter the vehicle though.

I will run a few further tests but it looks like some kind of weird runtime error that's machine-related. 

In the meantime, please provide me with your full log. Try using multiple different vehicles and let me know for which vehicles the crash seems to occur.

Albo, you weren't able to implement the Airhorn Feature I suggested earlier into V1.3.1.0?

@Albo1125 is there a way to resize the whatcya-ma-callit that shows all the siren tones? It's a bit big..
