Police Tape 3.1

Dynamic police tape and barrier placement with traffic and pedestrian control
   (25 reviews)

1 Screenshot

It's Los Santos... people get shot, people get run over, things catch fire... and it's usually all your fault. Eventually, you need to do something to keep nosy bystanders out of your business. Ever wished you could quickly close off a freeway so no cars can get by? Ever wanted to block off the scene of a dead body so that curious pedestrians couldn't tell who exactly shot them? Perhaps you just want to peacefully do some construction work, but oblivious drivers keep driving into your work zone. Or maybe you're fighting a fire, and need to stop rubberneckers from wandering into harm's way. 

 

No matter what you do in Los Santos, Police Tape is here to keep everyone else out of your way.

 

  • Featuring dynamic tape with cloth physics that blows in the wind
  • Aim-and-click tape and barrier placement lets you attach tape to any surface
  • Built-in advanced traffic control stops even the stupidest San Andreas drivers
  • Ped path blocking prevents most ambient peds from crossing police lines, while allowing backup, medics, coroners, and suspects to keep going
  • Full API lets plugin and callout creators add tape to their own scenes
  • Tape import/export system lets you save your tape and include saved tape scenes in callouts
  • Tape management menu to delete individual strands of tape and manage traffic control
  • Customize your tape texture to get different text or patterns
  • LML support to install scripts and police tape model files, DLC option if you prefer

And a huge shoutout to the Old Faithful level donors who have gone above and beyond to support my modding: AcePilot2k7, magiobiwan, WarriorPatrol, Drixize, Hazmat19, Leo-20446, Marco321132, Mitchell, OfficerB41, PawPaw2014, Proverbs Gaming, ProxiD, REDЯUM, SOCALI, TBLPD911, and swatteam9112004. 

 

 

KNOWN ISSUE: The tape sometimes droops through the ground, especially when there is not much wind or with longer pieces of tape. User more barriers and shorter pieces of tape to help reduce this effect. This is due to the limitations of what cloth physics can do in zmodeler/GTA V. Version 2.0 adds static tape models which do not sag as an option. You can choose for each strand whether to use static or dynamic tape.

 

KNOWN ISSUE: If you are having issues with changing the keybindings in the INI not taking effect in the game, add a single blank line at the top of your INI file. 

 

KNOWN ISSUE: You may need to install a modified gameconfig.xml, depending on your version of GTA V. If you already have a modified gameconfig.xml to support add-on vehicles, you should be OK. If you haven't before and your game crashes on startup after installing Police Tape, you need to install a custom gameconfig. You can use the following LML package to install a compatible Gameconfig file:

Version 3.0:

  • Added INI options to enable "alternate texture", "static tape", and "continuous mode" checkboxes by default. 
  • Optimized performance of traffic control checks to significantly reduce the FPS impact when there are many tape strands spawned.

  • Clarified instructions for installing alternate police tape textures

    Amazing for immersion and realism of creating crime scenes! 🙂 Protip: use the alternative skin. You get the 'police line do not cross' instead of the construction ribbon then 😄

    It’s a brilliant mod for sure but the installation process can be stressful. Under File Information you put that it only requires RAGE Plugin Hook even though it also requires LML. Instructions are really confusing. Directs you to a read me but doesn’t tell you what you want to know. As for the actual mod it’s great.

    Response from the author:

    There is now a DLC version available which does not require LML. Please check that out!

    Can you add an OIV installer?

    Response from the author:

    An OIV installer does not apply here, because you don't use OpenIV to install the mod. The files are loaded via LML, and can be installed directly with the LML Mod Manager.

    Incredibly immersive, fairly intuitive, easy to install, and the oiv installer did not overwrite my DLC content list. 

    This mod is written very well. It does exactly what you want, no lag, minimal confusion, and provides customization. The ini file is easy to go through, and the alternative textures are a nice way to spark creativity. The menu is clean and everything runs smoothly. I will never use traffic barriers again. I like the seemingly easy integration for other developers making callouts. 

    Thanks to PNWParksFan for creating a wonderful script with everything done very well. 

     

    Thoughts for changes after using it for a day:

    When scrolling through traffic cones, would prefer an empty slot. Then the same button for placing tape could be shared for placing it with a cone. Every so often I forget and end up taping the ground, but it is easy to remove tape.

    Would like if the tape wrapped around the cones a few times to make it look more real (but honestly it's only noticeable if you are staring blankly at the cones)

    Would like a note that says the POLICE TAPE ROLL texture should also be changed if changing tape textures, but honestly it's easy to figure out and make your own. 

    Would also like an ability to lay different rolls of tape, one for police, one for fire, one for coroner. This is so minor though.

    Freaking fantastic!  The wind effects are awesome and it doesn't lag your game and it is also easy to use.

    very cool plugin but honestly useless if i cant even go 5 meters and the tape sags so there's no point literally you can only see the first 2 feet of tape coming from attached surface. i can tell u made this with care the menu and controls are nice, the oiv i don't think is needed after seeing what is installed anyone can do it themselves i don't like oiv as it can make things weird/install it weird  textures are cool would recommend giving instruction on how to make a texture for this as its not the same as car texture  (i think).

     

    but good work but to me useless if it always sags, will this ever be able to be fixes????

    Response from the author:

    Read the info in the description about the sagging. I'm not gonna repeat myself. 

     

    There is a readme about custom textures in the alternate textures folder, read that too.

    I love it so far. Traffic likes to try and get around stopped cars but that's a problem w/ any plugin that deals with stopping traffic. I've found that using trainerv I can disable wind and the tape will stop blowing but still sag a little bit.

    This is genuinely a game changer. Yes, it takes a little bit for it to feel natural to use, but once you've worked it out, it's brilliant.

    The fact you can now seal off areas properly, seal off streets, close down lanes of traffic etc to conduct investigations or allow more safe working room (i recommend stopping all traffic to allow you to set up a cordon or seal an area off then reopen it once you have taped it off) is just fantastic and adds a whole new layer of realism and all new possibilities.

     

    10/10, would cordon off again.

    Thanks for the thorough review! Glad to hear you are enjoying the mod.

    Really love it, the tape need a bit of work as you said it glitches to the ground. Maybe in the future it could be a possible fix for this. thanks for adding cool feature to the game and thanks for your time as well.😉

    Response from the author:

    Obviously if I was able to make the tape model behave better I would. I also hope it'll be possible someday. Feel free to try for yourself and let me know if you succeed in making that happen.

    I hate when people write reviews early but I've been watching Parks develop this mod for a long time and he's done an amazing job on it. Does it have its issues? Yeah, the droop can suck but nothing at this time can be done about that. With good placement of the tape on your scene you have an excellent addition to the plugins list!
