🚔 Equipment Enforcement: Road Worthy v6.9

The Equipment & Standards Overhaul

Dynamic vehicle safety violations for proactive traffic enforcement. In the standard Los Santos environment, every NPC vehicle is showroom-perfect. This lack of realistic mechanical wear makes traffic enforcement feel repetitive and purely RNG-based. Road Worthy is a background simulation engine that injects realistic mechanical failures and safety violations into the world, giving you legitimate, visual probable cause for every stop.

🛠️ The Core Engine: "Probable Cause Generator"

Road Worthy doesn't just spawn blips; it physically alters the state of nearby vehicles to create observable equipment violations.

• Equipment Violations: The engine cycles through distinct equipment configurations, ranging from minor electrical flickers to critical structural failures.

• Encounter Frequency: With default settings, you can expect to encounter a violator roughly every 2 to 5 minutes of active driving, depending on local traffic density.

• Smart Selection Logic: The system scans a 350m radius and intelligently selects candidates for violations. It maintains a buffer—ignoring any vehicle within 45m—to ensure violations don't "pop-in" right in front of you.

• Automatic Exclusions: To maintain immersion, the engine automatically ignores Emergency (Police/EMS), Service (Buses/Taxis), Motorcycles, and even specific models like the "Stretch" or "Tourbus" defined in your .ini.

• Disable Blips: For officers who prefer a purely visual challenge, violation blips can be disabled entirely in the configuration settings.

🚦 Equipment Profiles & Modernized Scanning

1. Ghost Car (Bright Purple - 27) Operating with no lights at night.

2. Faulty Alternator (Gray - 13) The lights won't stay on; lights flickers intermittently, indicating failing power delivery preceding a total electrical blackout.

3. Aggressive High Beam Flashing / Signal for help / loose wire? - (Green - 2) The entire lighting system (front and rear) flashes rapidly. This indicates a severe short circuit or an aggressive driver attempting to clear traffic.

4. Smoking Engine (Light Gray - 15) Heavy engine smoke pouring from the compartment. The vehicle is physically restricted to a crawl due to severe mechanical failure and neglect.

5. Shredded Tire (Light Blue - 22) Vehicle operating on a shredded tire or bare rim. Results in erratic handling, grinding, and a top speed limited to 13.5f.

6. Missing Plate (Dark Orange - 21) You can now encounter vehicles operating with Missing Plates. This violation is tied to a Stolen status, turning a simple equipment observation into a potential felony hit.

7. Dealer Tag (Dark Orange - 21)

   1. Note on Modernized Plate Readers: Congrats! Your reader now recognizes these blank or dealer plates as stolen and pulls owner details—even without a physical plate—via NOOSE-derived chassis-signature telemetry. This breakthrough, repurposed from Humane Labs forensic imaging research, identifies the vehicle through unique thermal and geometric markers. The physical plate is absent, but the system still has a chance to gather vehicle and/or owner details via localized beat intelligence.

8. Shattered Window (Gold - 46) Frequency of smashed safety windows. Side or rear glass is shattered, potentially indicating a vehicle burglary or a prior hit-and-run collision.

9. Headlight Out (Beige - 36) A single headlight is non-functional. Unlike a shattered lamp, the housing is intact but the bulb is out, creating a high-visibility equipment violation at night.

10. Mechanical Damage (Gold - 46) Significant body deformation or collision history. Though the engine functions, the vehicle shows severe rear damage, suggesting it may have been involved in an accident or theft.

📦 Installation Guide

• Prerequisites: SHVDN (ScriptHookV.NET) is required. The version I used is included but, see update notes.

• Deployment: Drop RoadWorthy.dll into your /scripts/ folder.

• Configuration: The mod will generate RoadWorthy.ini on the first launch.

  • GlobalSpawnChance: Controls how frequently violations occur (Default: 2%).

  • MaxActiveViolations: Sets a hard limit on world violations (Default: 1).

  • ShowBlips: Toggle to true or false to enable/disable GPS markers.
