BLK Highway Callouts 1.21.7

Are you able to add a callout that's basically someone hit a bike and the person is on the road, injured, probably dead? Also, i did not see you in the discord

Love that you choose a specific theme to base your callout pack on. We need more of that in this community!

Great callout plots too which I hope to see more of in the near future! 😁

Love these callouts especially for Highway Patrol, i really like the traffic control callouts but I've been having issues. I'm not getting the callouts naturally anymore and when I use a callout manager the scene spawns but then I get the "disregard" notification. Also, sometimes even with the disregard notification the red marker still shows on the map and the cars from the callout will still be there but no emergency vehicles and they dont get removed like the callout should.  MVA and other callouts seem to work. Haven't gotten the one where the worker needs traffic control but that one works when forced. I often use this as the only callout pack when i'm doing a traffic specific game and still can't get the traffic control callout naturally. Other than that, like I said, awesome pack.

Which callout is the one that gives you the disregard notification and the red marker still on the map?

The traffic control for MVA, the one where police are on scene and you just take care of the traffic. When I use the callout manager it shows "traffic control" and "traffic control2" and both are doing it.

I find it unfair that to test your plugin you need to have STP, I would like to test your callouts but i don' t use STP, could you pls make an option to disable the STP installation check and make the plugin also usable without STP?

These callouts are great! Im really sick of getting callout packs that have nothing but pursuits or armed gunman or anything that officers don't see everyday. Please make more like this that the community can use in the city and county! Great work man 

The callouts have been working good so far, nothing too crazy.

Edit: As of now, 06/2022, SceneManager is working prefectly fine though not being updated. Be advised to not use the provided RageNativeUI in the SceneManger download since that is outdated and will cause problems then.

I'll remove it once I add my own tow truck functionality, but I don't see it implemented in the near future. STP is quite popular and useful, so I didn't think it would be much of an issue to add it as a requirement.

Are you using something else as a replacement for STP and UB?

Hey man, I tested these callouts several times and that never occured to me. My only guess is that my xml file is the problem.  Could you check if the new version has the same issue?

I use Enhanced Stops and UB , but  i don't use STP cause i find it ruining LSPDFR functionalities, but if u will release an update with your tow truck i'll be glad to write a 5 star feedback to your plugin, i find  awesome your callouts. U could make an option (a bool config)  to enable or disable tow truck service in the ini file.

Really liking these callouts, I would recommend adding a custom agency file though, this would allow the cusomising of the highways, fire and ambulance crews that spawn to be made a lot easier.

I've managed to do the highways and fire but am struggling with the ambulance, does it read from the Los Santos Fire Department (EMS) agency inside agency.xml?

That's what I intended to do at first, but then I found out I could use lspdfr config files instead...

I haven't changed fire and ambulance for highways, but I'd guess you are right. There is an <Ambulance> section in backup.xml, probably that's what you are missing.

If you get it to work, it'd be great if you could share your config 😬

Are you on Discord? I would love to ask you some questions about how you've coded using the lspdfr config as that may explain what's spawning from where, it seems to be using the lspdfr agency config for the fire and highway patrol but not for the ambulance, and the backup.xml doesn't seem to have any effect 😄

Thanks

Yes, on RPH and LSPDFR devs discord, same username as here

Love these callouts no doubt, thanks for putting an incredible callout pack together and for your time, I'm unsure of how in control of this but every time in like the motor vehicle accidents or whenever a firetruck is called it comes barreling in every time🤣 like not the usual for when you call for Ultimate Backup where it kind of moseys on in and takes its time and finds a decent place to park but every time in the callouts it takes out cars, even the roadside officers and parks in the dumbest spot ever lolol. 

Totally understand if you have zero control over it but unsure if anyone else experiences this! Thanks for some great work on this!

I'll do something about that firetruck 🤣

Pedestrians are generally prohibited to walk or get on to any highways in any states in the United States. From a realistic standpoint, how is it possible that a pedestrian or pedestrians can be hit by a vehicle on a highway? 

The callout is mostly based on some incidents that have happened in the city where I live (not the US). Unfortunately some highways have sections that are not well protected and are either close to houses or in zones where people need to cross from one side to the other. Despite having special zones for people to safely cross the highway, they are often ignored and that's when accidents occur, specially at night. So, from a third world country standpoint, it's possible for a pedestrian to be hit by a vehicle on a highway.

LS has a few locations where it's possible for a pedestrian to get on the highway, so I only added those locations (E.g. Chumash, Baham Canyon, the Paleto Bay area, the area where Dr. Friedlander lives, a homeless camp next the highway in Little Seul).

First I would like to give you credit on a very stable callout pack.  I can tell that you put a lot of work into this and your hard work does not go unnoticed. 

In regards to the **WIP** Spike Strip Support -  First The call is stable and working great with zero crashes on my end.  The only thing that I think needs to be adjusted is the fact that you are pressing Y and laying the spike strips early, several AI are driving over the spike strips (although it is not causing their tires to be blown, it does look rather odd for AI to drive over them, but suspects tires blow out)

 There is one suggestion that I would love see if you can implement with this Spike Strip Support callout and I think it would be possible.  Maybe have the player drive to a designated area which would trigger the pursuit that would be coming up from behind the player or maybe press Y key just to let dispatch know that you are ready.  Then a short pause in menu prompt again to let the player know that they can laydown spike strips when they see the vehicle approaching. The spawn distance seems pretty good to allow you to prepare for spike strips, when they get closer you can deploy the strips.  It's all about timing for the officer to deploy and avoid hurting other vehicles (RP of course).  But hey if you miss your opportunity, the chase still goes on and you can hop in your vehicle for pursuit.  Seen this happen many times...okay okay... it was on TV 😆

Would love to see this implemented if possible when you have time.

I loved your suggestion!  I had been thinking about what to do with those AI cars that remained in the area😅. I thought about stopping all cars, but that would create a mess, then I thought about redirecting traffic but that sounded like a lot of effort and I didn't even know where to start and if it was possible (lspdfr does it but I have no idea how and it's not always accurate).  I know what I'll do now and I can't wait to show you guys the result 😄

Love these callouts, it makes patrolling on highways much more enjoyable.

I have a suggestion, rather an idea for a callout. Trooper spotted a wanted vehicle on the highway. lil story time ( tropper spotted a vehicle that has been involved in a crime or an incident. Multiple scenarios could be implemented, trooper could run the vehicles plate and know that the plate matches the wanted vehicle from database. He could try to initiate a traffic stop, player could simply assist with the TS and the rest could be as a normal TS.) Another scenario could be that the vehicle was involved in serious crime and the trooper would be concerned that the individual or multiple people inside are dangerous so he could call for a backup in a form that he would be following the vehicle untill the player gets near and probably initiate a felony stop, or it may escalate into pursuit. The basic idea is to make the callouts with more people involved form the start. 

For example some pursuit calls from other callouts make a big blip on the map and its like "WE HAVE A PURSUIT IN PROGRESS" u drive to the blip and you are kinda alone. I mean there are no units already chasing the suspect and no real "backstory" to it.

Nice idea. I do want to have more cops involved for some callouts because sometimes it feels like you are the only cop in LS.  I'm working on a lil something for the spike strip support callout.

I love the callouts, but I with the latest updates I don't know if its the callout pack or GTA V but the timers I set in the ini keeps reverting back to the default times.

I'll look into it. What values are you using? There is a min/max limit for each timer, if you go above or below, the default values will be used.

EDIT: NVM, found a bug. Fix coming soon
