XScanner v3.23.44.3460

(51 reviews)

XScanner is an LSPDFR Scanner replacement/addon.

Features:

Full XAudio2 support.
Multiple output device support, play background scanner on one device and police scanner on another.
Multiple audio emitters to choose from; player, player vehicle, police vehicles.
Customizable distortion effects for the police scanner.
LSPDFR relay.
Broadcast quick selection.
Broadcast presets; Top50, Newest Streams, Official Streams, Manual stream input, search for streams.
Supports all known audio formats, and then some.
Police Scanner playback (frontend and 3d).
Background Scanner playback (frontend and 3d) (local files or stream).
Preferred audio folder; for dispatch replacements.
Audio redirects; for dispatch replacements.
The prettiest animated menu around with theming support.

There is the possibility of editing the ini manually, but I do not recommend it due to the complexity of this plugin.
Everything can be changed through the menu (default: F8)
If you already have something bound to F8 you can either:

change the menu key through the consolecommand
```
SetXScannerMenuKey
```
manually open the menu through the consolecommand and change the menu key from within the menu.
```
OpenXScannerMenu
```

Installation: Place files from the "Grand Theft Auto V" folder into your game installation folder.

What's New in Version v3.23.44.3460

Released February 14, 20251 yr

Fix:

updated hook scanner
fixed streams 403-ing due to changes on broadcastify's end and showing up as down.
fixed landmarks not properly being used

Changes:

Folders under GTAV\LSPDFR\SCANNER are no longer selectable as the Preferred Audio Folder from the menu,
as this folder is generally a bigger mess than your grandmothers random trash drawer.
Use folders in GTAV\PLUGINS\LSPDFR\XSCANNER\Audio instead, which will still show up in the menu.
You can still set the folder to GTAV\LSPDFR\SCANNER itself however.
This will NOT break any dispatch replacements.
changed normalization divider to 32768 instead of 32767

Add:

Added "Vinegar Enjoyer" flag to Settings->Global Flags to disable holiday effects
Added aborts and criticals to ScannerAPIFlags
Added critical scannerblocks

Additions

Added keybinds menu (no messing with ini, just do it in here) (for all that's holy don't touch the ini)
Added GlobalFlags to the settings menu
- Disable Normalization (normalization got rewritten so it might not cause you issues anymore, see fixes below)
- Disable volume keybinds
Lowered volume step for better finetuning of the volume

You just place the files from the Grand Theft Auto V folder inside your game folder.

Yeaaaaaaaaah! Khorio is here again! Love your mods and can't wait to see the new Automatic Roadblocks.

Having fps drop as well. Incompatible with MoreRadioChatter. Wont take my custom Intro and Outro sounds. Somehow the sound is too low even at 10 of volume.

Could you maybe release a version of Automatic Roadblocks without requiring XScanner? Thanks

If you're having issues with fps drops disable background playback on npc vehicles, as the ini clearly states.

I feel that we agree Automatic Roadblocks needs an update, but if you read the description, he announced Automatic Roadblocks would come out some time next week

If MoreRadioChatter just calls the LSPDFR API it should work just fine.

The background chatter volume is fixed, mainly because it is truly playing in 3d space from the vehicle, not just adjusting volume in relation to the distance,

the volume control only applies to actual calls to the police scanner (callouts, etc).

And no, XScanner was made because the default scanner was seriously lacking in function for what roadblocks needs,

so there will be no version that does not require XScanner.

This looks very cool. But does this mean you can no longer hear any radio chatter unless you're within ear shot of your cruiser? Wouldn't an officer always hear the radio through their ear piece or radio on their belt? I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

Only the ambient background chatter yes.

Callout sounds will still play normally wherever you are.

I disabled the vehicle chatter and still had the fps issue. Even after tweaking every setting, the issue still was present.

I love the idea, but it is indeed unplayable at this stage (even with vehicle chatter disabled) never experienced a FPS drop until this mod. I will however be keeping my eye on this one. I really like the radio chatter you have! Best of luck with this I truly wish I could use it

I'm not gonna make a bad review cause my issue is changeable but I'll sure leave a comment on it:

But let's start at the beginning:

Well, I saw this plugin and the amazingly good idea behind it, so I was like, well, a bit of police chatter would be good and went for installing it.

I started up the game and almost instantly, the FPS dropped down to 30-40 whereas I usually play this game on sweet 50-60 FPS. Idk what the exact issue behind it is (too much loose code/code trash in the files; conflicts with other essential plugins; complexity) but I really hope you will be able to fix its ressource consumption. Other than that the plugin is amazing but I'm absolutely unable to play with it atm. Please fix this issue to make this plugin a unique addon to my and other people's game! Cause from what I could experience it was a plugin with a superior sound quality AND an enormous potential!

Greetings, Kucho 😄
