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.
