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

ExternalPoliceComputer is the first Plugin for LSPDFR turning any device in your home network into a Police Computer.

AI disclosure

The author has disclosed that AI tools were used in creating the following aspects of this file:

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.

i mean you guys are killing it this is amazing 🙂 quick question is there a way to implement giving a citation to the ped on a traffic stop?

yeah, I know, and that's what I did...

Also, when we do the arrestOptions or citationOptions. Does it go through the default folder within the EPC or the one that is in the EPC folder, but not in the default? because I don't want to make changes to the arrestOptions and add to the wrong one.

I also wanted to know if I can add new charges in the “ArrestOptions?” I attempted to do that but it gave me errors regardless after I look over everything to make sure it is correct. Is this a set where I could not do any changes to it or add new charges?

Ran into that as well. Been using EPC for arrests and still using the compulite tablet for tickets for now so I don't miss out on the ticket animation. I can't wait to see this one develop. So many implementation options become available because of this. I can imagine in the future we will see integrations with other mods.

it would be nuts!! even if EPC couldn't have that implemented maybe other modders try to make it work like the charges reborn mod above !🤞

Okay guys relax 😂. I have a vague idea on how to implement this. I do have some other features I want to implement first though. I'll also need to do some digging into animations and stuff.

Edit: This doesn't mean that it will definitely work. So there is a slim chance it won't be implemented

Also. For the Map part within the external police computer, will it show you where the player is located? Because couldn't see my location in there.

I think it would be a great idea if the map could show where all the AI officers are as well as yourself. It would be cool too if the AI near you would be the one that comes to assist you rather them porting to you. Especially when they are porting and hitting Ai drivers.

No it's just an image.

Again, quite difficult and I don't know if showing the location of others is very realistic.

EPC doesn't control AI spawning. That's an issue within LSPDFR or STP/UB

I can tell it is just an image, but it can be useful.

Before I left my department, our laptop showed where the officers were at in distance and who was the closest to assist us and I believe the department is still using it too, to this current day. It's fine if you can't do it. It was just a suggestion.
I know LSPDFR controls the spawning point of AI, but there are loops around everything.

Offtopic... Am I able to add more charges to the "ArrestOptions" because when I did it last night, it kept telling me an error until removed? I checked the coding and placement of everything and it was corrected. Do we have an option to add in?

EPC is a police computer. Not more. That won’t be added. And I wouldn’t even know how to.

In version 1.3.2, I added an UI to customize EPC, including arrest and citation options.

also if you have further questions or suggestions, please join the Discord as this will make communication easier.

Love this addon, however It is conflicting with EUP menu, so whenever I press F11 to open menu, it crashes LSPDFR. Please look into this. There was a line in the RPH crash log that indicated it was your script, but I didn't save that log otherwise I would have pasted it here. Other than this, a game changer addon for sure.

Okay so I'm probably not the smartest guy in the world when it comes to computers. In order for me to actually be able to use this plugin someone will have to guide me through the installation process or make an installation video. I have been at this for 7 hours trying to figure out why I keep getting all kinds of error messages with no progress. I have no clue what I'm doing. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

awesome mod man thank you so much first and foremost. The only wish/improvement i would want is for it to be intgrated in game somehow just for the sake of being able to capture the terminal via obs and other streaming software. For some reason the steam overlay cant be captured at all but no complaints as far as productivity and the overall purpose of the mod again thanks much for providing this to us!

Sadly, that's not possible. "External" is in the name for a reason 😉

OBS doesn't work on my computer, so I can't really help you with that. But I know it's possible because I've seen it be recorded / live streamed. Maybe you'll find some help on the Discord server.
