ExternalPoliceComputer 2.0.1.0

(22 reviews)

Followers

Welcome To ExternalPoliceComputer

Thank you for downloading ExternalPoliceComputer
EPC allows you to use any device in your home network (e.g. a laptop, your mobile or just the same device you're playing LSPDFR on) as a modern MDT
Important notices: STP is no longer supported as PolicingRedefined is the new standard (you can still use STP, it just doesn't sync like PR does); Your old configuration files will no longer work - remove them; Node.js is no longer required because the server is now integrated into the LSPDFR plugin

Features

New desktop like experience with modern UI and live in-game data
Ped and vehicle lookup
In-depth report system (more to come :))
Simple court system
Seamless integration and synchronization with PolicingRedefined and Callout Interface
In-depth customization and localization options

Requirements

It is recommended to use PolicingRedefined and Callout Interface

Installation

Move all files and folders from the ZIP file into your GTA main directory

Setup

When going on duty using LSPDFR, ExternalPoliceComputer will display notifications in-game containing the addresses, used to access EPC
If you missed them, ExternalPoliceComputer also generates a file including the addresses: GTAV/EPC/ipAddresses.txt
You can access EPC using any browser of your choice (however I recommend a Chromium based browser, e.g. Chrome, Brave, etc.) by entering one of the addresses (if one doesn't work, try the other)
For more information on usage, check out the GitHub README

Setup using Steam

In Steam go to Steam → Settings → In Game
Make sure Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game is enabled
Set Overlay shortcut key(s) to whatever key you want to use to open ExternalPoliceComputer
Set Web browser home page to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (or the url provided by EPC)

Customization

You can customize your config.json, language.json, arrestOptions.json and citationOptions.json; all located in the EPC folder of your GTA main directory
The config can be customized on the customization page to avoid having to reload LSPDFR
Check out the GitHub README to learn more about Plugins for EPC
I highly recommend installing these arrest and citations charges by @unitedOrange66

Mod and Mod Content (Minor)

I use GitHub Copilot's inline suggestions for VS and VS Code (mostly for repetitive code snippets). AI also helped upgrading the arrest and citation options from 1.x to 2.x. The plugin was not created by AI, AI merely improved the workflow.

Did you start the server (run #start.bat)?

Is this supposed to work on traffic stops and just running plates on the road? Or callouts only

no its just an image. if you play with your minimap turned off (for more realism) it can help you find the call location

If you have Callout Interface installed and the option AutoTrafficStop=True set, it'll turn traffic stops into callouts. The plugin loads all peds and vehicles of the world into files every time a callout is displayed. The server will then read these files whenever you make a search request. So, to answer your question you can drive around and just look up plates, but the vehicle may not come back if there were no callouts displayed (you dont need to accept them)

I'm very new to HTML and CSS (and I mean I only have 5 weeks of knowledge on it)

And I love how simple it is to edit and customize to what I like, I'm creating a black-on-green (like terminal style) to it. When I finish, I will release it. (With proper crediting of course)

It's meant as a replacement. You can still have compulite installed but it will show different results.

Glad to hear that. If you need any help, you can contact me on Discord

I really like the idea of this mod. However, I feel like the execution could be improved. Making the user download basically a whole site is tedious for the user and might deter users from installing this mod.

My improvements for this mod would be:

Host the site. This will make the ease of use for the plugin much easier. There are many free hosting providers out there(netlify, vercel).
- I realize that this will change a lot in terms of code but this will make the plugin a lot more appealing.
Have a UI where the user could edit the json files instead of making them edit it directly.
- Most plugins that are mimicking a police computer do not have the luxury of making a UI to edit the file. I think that this plugin has that potential and luxury. I know it requires a lot of work as a fellow web developer 😅
I do not know whether you are planning on adding this. Most other police computer mods also have a court system. I think if added that into this mod as well, it would be great.

The improvements are pretty structural and I realize they would require a lot of work. However, I think that with these improvements, the mod would be more appealing to users(including me) because there would be less work involved in installing the mod.

This is not possible as the server needs to read from files generated by the LSPDFR Plugin. But I get that it can get annoying to install and use.

I'll look into that. But as you said yourself that's a lot of luxury.

I did not plan on adding this. It'll require a complete rework of the citation and arrest options. But I'll have to redo them anyways if I want to create a UI

You can build an api.

Well, I'm new to C# and I don't know how I would post to that API. But it's a nice idea. I'll keep it in mind.

Ah. It is possible as most LSPDFR plugins have version checkers that get the version from the LCPDFR.com API. You could look at some open source plugins for inspiration lol

I'll see what I can do. But for now, I'll keep it local. First updates will probably include that UI and court system. Thank you for all the suggestions though.

This plugin was originally meant to be used with another device like a laptop. But I get what you mean. I believe that Steam overlay is transparent though and you can resize the browser window.
