Police Tape 3.2

(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

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:

What's New in Version 3.2

Released

Version 3.2:

  • Recompiled for latest game version due to changed GameControl enum. 

  • Only for RageNativeUI 1.124+ and GTA V 3717+. For older versions, use version 3.1.

 

Previous updates:

Spoiler

Version 3.1:

  • Fixed possible crash when deleting individual tape strands from the tape management menu. 

  • Updated to RageNativeUI 1.8.1

Version 3.0:

  • Added the much-requested option to spawn just barricades without any police tape attached to them. This is available by entering the tape placement mode, selecting a barricade, and middle-clicking to spawn a barricade by itself, or left-clicking to spawn with tape attached. 

  • Updated to RageNativeUI 1.7. Please make sure this file is up to date. 

  • 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. 

  • Added DLC installation option. LML is still recommended, but the DLC is available for those who prefer it.

Version 2.1:

  • Fixed bug causing INI Keybindings section to not be read correctly

  • Clarified instructions for installing alternate police tape textures

  • Updated for compatibility with new ParksTools.dll version


Version 2.0:

  • Added static tape option

  • Updated API

  • Improved traffic control algorithms

  • Added support for new versions of ParksTools.dll and for Coastal Callouts

  • Improved Police Tape menu

  • Other misc bug fixes

You can message me on discord or email me for any questions related to the benefactor program or donations. As for attaching tape directly to a vehicle, there is a setting for this in the INI.

love the idea of this mod, but I could really use your help installing it properly.

 

I first manually installed the app in accordance with your instruction(LML), later when I try to load it during game, this alert poped out telling me my RagePluginUI is out of date, yet I literally just downloaded the RagePluginHook few days ago.

Did I install it wrong or load it incorrectly?

I believe the default is Ctrl+G.

RageNativeUI is separate from RagePluginHook. The latest version should be included in the police tape download, make sure you copied it over to the game folder. It's called RageNativeUI.dll. You can also download the latest version here: https://github.com/alexguirre/RAGENativeUI/releases

Need more information to help. Make sure you've followed the readme carefully, if you still can't get it to work, upload your RagePluginHook.log file.

Something is wrong with the plugin. Control-G does no longer works for me either. I don't think it's supported by the LSPDFR anymore.

Plugin works fine and has nothing to do with LSPDFR. You have either installed it wrong or are using it wrong. Maybe it's Shift+G? I don't remember off the top of my head, just check the readme.

The fact that you can't remember what the correct key is, tells me a lot right there. 

 

It was working. But it does no longer work. The fact that there are others experiencing the same issue also speaks volumes. 

The fact that you offered no suggestions to help many others resolve the issue with the plugin speaks volumes. 

You only came on here to say, that it's how we all installed it. That's not very community friendly. 

The installation is very simple and I'm willing to bet that many on here had installed it correctly. 

But you offer no suggestions.

For those having trouble with accessing the menu in Police Tape, you will need to install the Lenny's Mod Loader. It's required. Unfortunately, it is required.

I know it's confusing for those who are not used to using the LML since there are other Police Tapes out there saying that you only need to dump the files into the main directory. But yes, you do need to use this Lenny Mod Loader tool to install the Police Tape.

First of all, LML is not required for Police Tape. You can install it as a traditional DLC if you want. I don't know what you're talking about "other police tapes" the "only dump the files into the main directory" as this is the only police tape mod, and has always required you to install either an LML package or DLC pack in order to add the new models to the game. 

 

As for looking up the keys, I hadn't been on my PC in a few days to check. I just looked, and just like I thought (and said) before, the default keybinding is indeed Ctrl+G. I provided the information I had at the time. The mod continues to work just fine with the latest version of LSPDFR. If it's not working for you then the fact is you likely installed something wrong. Upload your log file. I can't help you without a log file. I don't appreciate you coming in here complaining about stuff and being impatient, when you won't even provide any useful information to guide you. You said it yourself: the installation is very simple. So I don't know why it isn't working for you, but it's not because of any inherent flaw of the mod.

LML installed the Police Tape. Now it works. 

 

Nobody said anything about an "inherent flaw". You just dreamed that up because you took a comment about a product personally. You shouldn't do that and jump to conclusions.

 

Sorry you don't "appreciate complaints"... that's life. Products come with complaints or comments. It just happens that way. You better get used to that if you plan on living life like a normal human being.

Sounds like once you read the readme and actually finished installing the mod, everything worked great then, just like I expected 😉

 

Don't try to gaslight me on what you said, you may not have said "inherent flaw" verbatim, but what you said means the exact same:

Nothing was wrong with the plugin, just your failure to install it properly. It's your entitled tone that bothers me, not that someone would ask for support. I have helped many people install my mods, few have your entitled personality and that's what I object to. The way you keep referring to this as a "product" when it is a free mod I provide as a hobby says a lot about your attitude. Respectful support requests and genuine feedback are always welcome; your comments were neither.

How do you know it was installed improperly? 

 

Sorry that you sense "tone"... you're just too sensitive. 

 

The video that I included resolved the issue. You didn't suggest anything. I at least, tried something on my own. Your tone indicated you were more interested in blaming someone rather than helping. Why did my suggestion fix the issue? 

 

Thanks for your help.

Is there anyway to reduce the lag when you've placed down barracades/tape?

For some reason this plugin makes me spawn in as michael... and then when I use LSPDFR character menu to use my character, the hair is all fucked up... why do the best plugin devs abandon their work

 

Edit: crashes every time you try to delete more than 4 tapes at a time, this plugin is outdated

This plugin does absolutely nothing at all that would affect your player character. It was updated in December and works just fine, not abandoned in the slightest. Never had a crash when deleting tape either. Sounds like you've got some other issues with your game, but feel free to upload a log file if you do encounter a crash with the plugin and I'll take a look.

Been modding with LSPDFR for almost two years now, I think I've had my fair share of issues and crashes... the plugin is long gone out of any of my folders. I know for certain there was no "issue" on my end, just your outdated plugin messing with the bare minimal (updated no less) plugins I already have installed. But I like your confidence. 🙂 Bold of you to think a plugin last updated beginning of 2020 isn't outdated.

I've been creating mods for LSPDFR for about 5 years now, what's your point? And I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by boasting about how many issues you've had. The plugin was updated on December 6, 2020, and I use it frequently on the latest game version with no issue. But even if it hadn't been updated recently, I'm not sure where you and other people get this idea that a mod has to be constantly updated or else it will have issues. Simple mods like this one don't need to be updated all the time to keep working. It's been updated to add new features, but the original version from 3 years ago would still work on the latest game version. Clearly there was some "issue" on your end, hence your post.
