Siren Mastery

SUPPORT IS NO LONGER OFFERED - FEEL FREE TO HELP UPDATE THE CODE

Siren Mastery is now open source. https://github.com/Albo1125/SirenMastery

Siren Mastery is a script modification that allows you to master your siren tones. Toggle to your secondary siren at the press of a key/button, silence your siren using any key/button you like and even control exactly which 'secondary' siren plays! You can be up and running with Siren Mastery within 5 minutes (installation tutorial click HERE).

Requirements - some of these are included (credits go to their appropriate authors):

Albo1125.Common 6.6.4.0 or higher (included)
RAGEPluginHook 0.51 or higher (not included)
NAudio 1.8.0.0 (included)
A legal copy of GTA V (version 1.0.1011.1 or above).

There is also a download to free up unneeded controller bindings so they can be used for Siren Mastery. Get it here.

You can find some new, customised UIs for Siren Mastery in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

Summary of current features (please check documentation carefully too):

Change the Siren Toggle key/button and assign it an optional modifier key/button.
Change the 'lights only' toggle key/button and assign it an optional modifier key/button.
- This works even if your siren is off so you can control whether your siren should play before turning your lights on.
New 'Toggle Secondary Siren' key/button with an optional modifier key/button.
- This allows you to switch to secondary sirens without having to hold down a key/button.
New 'Toggle Bullhorn' key/button with an optional modifier key/button.
- This allows you to keep sounding your bullhorn without having to hold down a key/button.
- Works simultaneously with sirens.
New 'Next Siren' key/button that cycles to the next siren.
- Can optionally include the Off state as a cycle stage.
Your siren now stays on when you leave your vehicle and you don't mute it.
- This can be disabled from the GeneralConfig file.
Determine the siren tone that should be playing.
- You are able to select which siren tone to play, including the ability to differentiate between secondary sirens.
Additional Siren Modes
- Dual Siren Mode.
- Manual Siren Mode.
Additional customisable sirens per vehicle model.
- Allows you to have up to TEN total sirens per vehicle model.
Fully Functional and Customisable UI.
- Feel free to create and release your own custom UI files.
- The size and position of the UI can be customised via the UIConfig file.
Customisable Siren Switching Tones (like Siren Switch Honker).
Sirens are fully customisable per vehicle model via an XML file.
All keybindings are customisable and fully customisable controller support is included.
The vehicles.awc size and length limits are effectively removed while using Siren Mastery, allowing for greater siren variety.
British Users: You can now have British Siren Switch/Toggle sounds (in other words, horns!). Simply replace the relevant files in the Plugins/SirenMastery folder with the ones included in Siren Switch Honker's download.

Support is no longer offered - what to do if you encounter a bug or have problems:

There is an option in the GeneralConfig.ini.

You can also edit the volume of individual sirens in the XML file (check out the examples).

Oh okay thanks Albo! I tried to change them like it is in one of the examples like this:

<Siren1 SirenType="Primary"Volume="0.05">FIBPrimary</Siren1>

but it made the plugin crash every time. I didn't know about the GeneralConfig.ini volume control so thank you I shall give it a try.

Hi, if it crashed, can you send me your RAGEPluginHook.log file?

Also include your VehicleSirenSetups.xml file that you were having crashes with.

How how did you remap the controller buttons, I'm using X 360 controller. I didn't know it was possible how you do it?

I just edited the text file that came with the unbinding controller download and then replace the standard controls file using OpenIV.

If you want to adjust the volume, you can do so in the GeneralConfig.ini file.

Hi Albo! Great job on the mod, but I'm encountering a crash on start up each time the plugin is loaded. It works perfectly until any changes to the VehicleSirenSetup file is made. I've copy and pasted your example files and troubleshooted with my own variations to see if I can get it to work, but so far I'm out of luck. Attached is the current VehicleSirenSetup file.

Hey, all things you do must be between the <SirenMastery> and </SirenMastery> brackets.

You need to remove the </SirenControl> bracket at the bottom as that's not used and paste your vehiclesirensetups between the <SirenMastery> brackets.

I just realised I forgot to rename the tags in my example. Will fix this in the next update, thanks!

Here's what it should look like:

Ah I see what I did. That fixed it. Thank you again for such a great mod!

I read in the comments that it currently doesn't affect NPCs, but is that something that's possible in the future? I love how I can finally have many different siren tones to match the different agencies I have in my game, just hoping now that the NPCs had sirens that match without having to change the audioNameHash in the vehicle files.

EDIT: Nevermind that question, I didn't see the thread for suggestions where it was already answered. Can't wait to see what you have in store in the future. :thumbsup:

Great mod, absolutely love it! However, it would seem that after installing this, any sounds that tires once made are silent. Burnouts, screeching etc. When driving, you used to be able to hear the stickiness of the tires on the pavement, now only engine sound can be heard.

Any ideas why this may be?

Hmm, that shouldn't have changed. Perhaps something else is going on.

I'll take a further look later.

Can you work on running multiple sirens at once for the next update?

So far this mod is great.

Hey, that is already possible. Hold down LShiftKey (default) and press a Force Siren Key to run that siren in dual mode.

Is it possible with the controller?

Yes. You'll need to set a button in the Controller Config file.

Hey 10/10! Is there any way we could have the option to leave the siren on when exiting the vehicle??

G'day Albo!

I downloaded the 1.0.0.0 Version and it was amazing! I loved it!
But when i launched my game today, the siren tones wasn't working.. So i installed the latest version and same issue was happening.
I followed the installation video and the documentations but still no sounds.

Could you integrate this with GTA V : Realistic American Sirens * Updated * 8.0.5 by GravelRoadCop? Also, every time I activate the Police Riot Siren in-game, it crashes Siren Mastery.

Hey Albo!

Having a slight issue. Installed it just like the tutorial says, and when I go to load it, it crashed upon loading. Tried everything, and no joy.

I had crashing issues also, and then this is what I found to get my game working again-

look though the vehiclesirensetup document, and make sure none of your sirens have a custom siren as part of the different patterns. If you don't have any custom sirens installed in one of the folders inside the siren mastery plugin folder, this will cause your game to crash. Just remove the lines with the custom sirens inside the vehiclesirensetup.

Hope this helps!

Hey Albo! Another great mod released again. Great job! And I also have a question. Will this ever be implemented to GTA's police AI? So that we are all able to have custom sirens.

This happens with the .ini that was included with the download...
