Country Murders v3
This callout-pack has now multiple detective callouts. Each callout has multiple variations, so you can play the callouts again and discover unseen content. Country Murders has a total of 11 major variations to explore and more than 100 small variations to offer! Make sure to first play the Sawmill callout in order to unlock the other callouts!

With a complex scenario and different background stories for each suspect, there will be a lot to remember. Checkout @DPZ Notepad for LSPDFR. You might want to take notes during your journey.

Requirements

A legal copy of GTA V
RAGE Plugin Hook
LSPDFR 4.9+
RageNativeUI 1.9.2+ ( https://github.com/alexguirre/RAGENativeUI/releases )
Expressive (included)
NAudio (included)

Gameplay

Spoiler

Speak to a person by pressing E. The conversation will advance automatically. If your conversation is stuck or too slow for you, press E to continue/skip the dialogue. You can end a conversation by just moving away from a person. Choose a topic by using the number-keys or the keys on your numpad. All of this is adjustable in the .ini file of Country Murders.

When faced with a critical one-time decision, the topic selection will turn orange to alert you. Such decisions arise not only when accusing the murderer but also during suspect interrogations in the new case of Country Murders. You will have three options: Ask, Insinuate, and Accuse. Choosing Ask applies no pressure, while Accuse exerts the most pressure on the suspect. However, be cautious: if you falsely insinuate or accuse suspects too often, they may invoke their right to remain silent.

You missed a line of dialogue? No problem. Just open the Brief section of the GTA pause menu to read what you have missed. Dialogs will be tracked like every other dialog. Most of the topics can also be triggered again, in case you want to read them twice.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Spoiler

How many callouts are included?

Three! It will take you roughly 120-180 minutes to complete all three callouts on your first play-through, if you don't skip content. Play each callout multiple times to discover the variations and different outcomes.

Where are the scenes located?

Case 1: at the Sawmill in the forest

Case 2: at the "Vineyard" near the military base

Case 3: in a small village near the ocean (left side of the GTA V map)

Why can I only play one case?

Playing the first case is required in order to unlock case two & three, as a decision from the first case will carry over.

Will Country Murders be translated to other languages?

No. Country Murders is only available in English and will not be translated, due to it's size and complexity. You can configure the display speed of subtitles in the .ini file, if you have trouble reading English.

How to collect evidence?

Open the LSPD:FR menu and select "Inventory". Here you can choose to place an evidence marker. Place such a marker when you are close to a piece of evidence

How to Update?

If you want to keep your progress, make sure you delete the .ini file included in the download. If the .ini file in the download overrides your own .ini file, your progress will be lost!

Installation & Troubleshooting

Spoiler

Installation

Within the Country Murders download, you will find a folder called "Grand Theft Auto V". Copy all the contents of this folder into the main folder of your GTA V installation. If you are asked to replace files, choose YES or Only If Newer.

Good To Know

Country Murders was tested with the default/vanilla LSPDFR.
Third party plugins (like Stop The Ped) might interfere with Country Murders, I can give you no support in that case. Do NOT search anyone with STP, the contraband and items are not related to the Country Murder case.
Controller / Game-pad input is not supported by me for this plugin.
Radio subtitles are not synced with the audio.
Country Murders adds a console command to your game. "CountryMurdersConfig" does restart the config. Will not affect running callouts.

Troubleshooting

Ensure that you have followed the instructions within the ReadMe
Ensure that the callout was installed into your GTA directory
Ensure you have installed all requirements
Ensure that you have at least RageNativeUI 1.9.2+
1. You must install RageNativeUI, it is not included
2. You might have downgraded it by installing a plugin that is bundled with an older version of RageNativeUI

How To: Report a Problem

If you still have problems contact me via private message and attach the RagePluginHook.log. I can't help you without this log file! Ensure to describe your problem in detail and think about adding a screenshot. Let me know what you already have tried to solve the problem.

Very Important

Always attach your RagePluginHook.log when reporting a problem.
Read the steps carefully!
If you don’t follow these steps I may just respond with “Read the plugin description again”.

Well, you are not wrong. It is a little bit like "Among Us" for LSPDFR 😅

Error! No log file or screenshot found. Please try again and “Read the plugin description again”.

Your problem may not belong here anyways, I strongly assume you have played a callout from another plugin.

So I really would love to try out this callout but whenever I get it and accept the call it just cancels. I've reinstalled it just in case I somehow messed up but it still wont work any ideas?

(Fixed it dont know how to delete this)

I installed this callout pack and tried forcing the calls with Callout Manager, When I accept the calls it cancels immediately like Fivoll said. Any ideas why this is happening?

No, I don't know. Callout Managers are not supported by me, I use plain LSPDFR. But you could always follow the "Problem Reporting" instructions, you may want to read them again.

Hey so I know how to fix it but I have another problem. To fix it you have to install this. If you dont wanna click the link from me thats fine just scroll up under requirements. But my new problem is lspdfr crashes whenever I get to the scene of the callout and try talking to the officer on scene.

I have two suggestions for improvement:

1. During a dialogue with a ped, the model should turn to you, so that it is more believable and also increases the immersion^^ For example, you also have this in various other callouts, where the peds always turn to you when you talk.

2. I find good that (sheriff) spawns with activated lights as ambient, but it would be better if you could additionally determine the vehicles themselves in the INI.

Example:

CopCarAmbientSpawn=sheriffstalker <-- This is a vehicle from the LSSD Pack 2.0b by 11john11.

Great callout. The only thing is that the callout causes LSPDFR to crash when I'm talking to the suspects. Not sure what's going on but here is the Log.

Awesome callout pack, but what is more important is a huge improvment you brought to the game with this custom dialog system, i`ll definetely try to use your libraries in my own plugins. Btw, it would be great if you could create a couple of wiki topics with the documentation and some usage instructions, best wishes

I dont know if this is still being worked on but i installed it, nothing happened, been moding for years, installed it exactly as instructed 3 times, i load up the game i go on duty and it doesn't load up. idk whats going on, my Native ui is 1.9 not 1.7 idk if that has anything to do with it that is the only thing that is different. Does this not work with other callout packs ?
