Ransom Ambience by MarcelWRLD
Version: 1.6.7

Ransom Ambience is a LSPDFR plugin that implements location-based ambient events to increase realism

during your patrols across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Features

Variety: Ransom Ambience offers you plenty of events of which some even have different scenarios! This way you won't get bored and you don't have to play the same stuff over and over again. The plugin is also under active development which means that new events are added every update to keep you busy during your patrols across the whole map!
Lightweight: Ransom Ambience isn't heavily scripted which gives you the full range of opportunities on how you want to deal with an event.
You want to arrest the ped? Go on. You want let the ped go? Go on. You want to ignore the crimes they are commiting? Sure, go on. No annoying scripting that forces you to do something or react in some kind of way. It's just you and your own judgement!
Location System: Ransom Ambience is dependent on the zone/neighborhood that you are currently in. Some events have a higher chance of occuring in certain areas while others have a lower chance of occuring or don't occur at all. Want action? Try patrolling in high-crime neighborhoods but pay close attention to your surroundings. Want to relax? Just patrol in a different area of the map, sit back and enjoy your chill patrol with only small crimes happening.
Customizable: Don't like the probabilities of crimes in certain areas? Want to increase or decrease action in certain areas? Well, no problem! Ransom Ambience allows you to fully customize the chances of crimes occuring. Read the README of the 'RansomAmbience' folder for a (almost) step-by-step tutorial on how to adjust your game experience.
Pursuit System: Ransom Ambience of course offers you plenty of situations where you are able to participate in a pursuit. However, can you still remember how I was talking about your freedom of dealing with events? Exactly: You are not forced to participate in a pursuit, instead you will be asked if you want to initiate a pursuit. If not, simply ignore the prompt and continue your patrol!

Requirements

LSPDFR
RAGE Plugin Hook
StopThePed by Bejoljo (optional; recommended)

As already mentioned the ambient events are location-based meaning certain events have a higher chance of

occuring at certain places while others have a lower chance.

In order for events to spawn you have to make yourself available for calls which you can do using two ways:

1. If you use "GrammarPolice" you have to change your status to "Available" (e.g. going 10-8/Code 4).

2. You can open your LSPDFR interaction menu (default: M), go to "Police Radio" and switch "Available for calls" to "Yes".

If you want events to happen regardless whether you are available for calls or not, head to the plugins config menu (default: F6) and tick "Always allow events". 🙂

These are not callouts but events that may happen around you at random.

What's New in Version 1.6.7

Released February 26, 20242 yr

Changelog V1.6.7

This version fixes several bugs. 🙂

After a long time I finally found time to fix some issues with RA. You can read the reason for this long period of no updates here.

New

StopThePed: Ransom Ambience is no longer dependent on StopThePed, which means that you can play without having STP installed!
(However you are required to use the vanilla LSPDFR ped stop menu to interact with ped events when playing without STP.)

Bug Fixes

Fight: Fixed an error being thrown at the end of the event.
Ped Choosing: Fixed peds (e.g. cops) being chosen for events, which of course should NOT happen.
If you were previously using the "Ignore Addon..." settings within RA you no longer need to use those. The plugin should handle everything automatically now.

Updated files
How to update

Updated RansomAmbience.dll
Added/Updated RansomAmbience.pdb
Updated RansomAmbience.ini

Have fun! If you encounter any issues please report them to me.

Changelog V1.6.6 (Previous)

Spoiler

This version fixes several bugs, changes and adds some small details. 😄

New

Pursuit System: You can disable the automatic spawning of a helicopter now (this should fix an issue with the 'Heli Assistance' plugin).
Check 'DisableAutoHeliSupport' in the .ini or look it up in the config menu!
Event Menu: Added a 'Random' option to the force event button which selects a random event (self-explanatory lol).

Bug Fixes

Animal Accident: Fixed the event being canceled almost immediately.
Injured Person: Injuries should be more visible now.
Drive-By Shooting: Fixed possible issues with the event.
Broken Equipment, DUI, Reckless Driver, Use Of Phone: Fixed an issue where the plugin would run into an error.
Traffic Stop Collision: Reduced the amount of which the driver would miss your vehicle (it's still not perfect though; the missing is not really intended).
Traffic Stop Disturbance: Fixed an issue with animations.
Pursuit System: Fixed a display issue of the controller button in the notification.
Menu System: "Kind of" fixed the key modifier issue. If you press the normal key and then the modifier it should work without spamming.
Check for update: It should no longer lag your game for a split second when pressing the button.

Thank you for reading! ❤️

How to update Ransom Ambience I thought updating might be confusing for some people so I'm gonna try to explain it. From now on I will be adding a section called "Updated files" to each update notice to simplify the update process. It will be a simple bullet point list which will let you know what files need to be replaced/updated. Note that all files that might be updated are inside the plugins > lspdfr of the .zip that you downloaded. Below is an example of an update:

Guidelines for "Traffic Stop Events" Update V1.6.0 added traffic stop events to the plugin which specifically happen during traffic stops. For better understanding I decided to write a simple "how it works" explanation. Scroll down to the bottom if you want to see explanations for events. 1. Traffic stop events do not happen every traffic stop. Unless you set your chance to something really high (e.g. > 90) You can spawn them manually while on

I sort of managed to fix it. I wrote it wrong in the changelog though 💀 Press the modifier FIRST and THEN the main key and it should work without spamming!

My modifier does not work, what do I do?

Ransom Ambience - Update I know there hasn't been an update for the plugin in a long time...The reason for that is because I am busy working on a different, big LSPDFR plugin with @Echooo and @AstroBurgers. It is aiming to be an alternative to STP and UB in the future which explains why we are so busy with it: It's a hell lot of work 😄 If I find time I will work on RA and hopefully release V1.7.0 some time soon. If you want to keep track of "Policing Redefined" (the name of our up

some ideas for implementation

a rally on the road, a major skirmish in the ghetto area between two (or maybe 3 gangs) all free units in the nearest areas are required, a robbery of a cash-in-transit vehicle, a major accident + road blocking (requires traffic stop or a plugin that allows you to change traffic), other types of skirmishes, officer does not respond, officer injured/killed

Some ideas sound more like callouts which isn't really the point of this plugin. However a nearby traffic stop going wrong or a gang shootout sounds like a nice idea. Robbery and MVA is already in planning.

Thanks!

Assuming this is similar to AmbientAICallouts. It might be a good idea to implement something similar from AAIC which is the AI cops responding to a call. Or maybe AirOne responding to a nearby incident like a house robbery or something. Or even a random police pursuit goes by and the player can hear the pursuit callouts.

Well it's not a callout plugin. If you have played lspdfr then you probably noticed that sometimes a ped runs a light or a ped breaks into a vehicle; those are ambient events that happen at random and my plugin is supposed to extend these events if you know what I mean.

Yea I know it's not a callout plugin. AmbientAICallouts were similar to this and just had AI responding to random calls and such. Just a few suggestions to make the city/state feel more alive and yes I know what you mean 🙂

Wrong way driver.

The plugin is not about callouts but ambient events. You can read the description for more information.

Used this today for a few hours: so far so good! The events aren't heavily scripted which I enjoy because it allows me to play them out however I like. I did not get any issues or crashes while interacting with a good number of the events included. This is a great plugin and I am glad this new, fresh take on it is being supported to help LSPDFR sessions feel a bit more alive and interactive.

So far, the only recommendation I have (besides new events of course) would be to add a distance cut off or something of the like. I went back on "Available" status on the highway and an event occurred on the other side of the highway where I could not reach. As I kept driving, the orange blip never disappeared until I manually set myself as "Busy" and then to "Available". Honestly not a big issue, just a very specific nitpick/QoL change that would be nice.

Besides that, keep up the great development on this plugin! I look forward to seeing how it expands.

A distance cut off is a good idea, I will try to implement one in the next update.

I was thinking of random street race and cars are different on every part of the map for example in vinewood hills you would see super cars and near grove street and those areas you will see more muslce cars and older japanese cars and number of racers can be random
