BETA 0.4.0 — Callout Placement and Dialogue Improvements

Suspicious Person

• Moved suspect spawning away from the middle of the road.

• Replaced the unsupported World.GetNextPositionOnSidewalk dependency with an older-RPH-compatible off-road placement system.

• Added more suspect activities:

  • Looking into a parked vehicle

  • Looking toward or inside a residence

  • Standing in someone’s backyard

  • Loitering around a closed business

  • General suspicious wandering

• Added possible melee weapons:

  • Crowbar

  • Knife

  • Baseball bat

  • Flashlight

• Added surrendering, fleeing, cooperative, and aggressive outcomes.

Domestic Dispute

• Arresting or dismissing a party now overrides unfinished dialogue and identification requirements.

• When both parties are arrested or dismissed, the callout clears.

• The original Talk/ID checklist remains available for parties who have not yet been dispositioned.

Traffic Stop Backup

• Added road-axis placement calculations.

• Both vehicles now use the same road direction.

• Police vehicle spawns behind the stopped vehicle.

• Both vehicles are moved toward the shoulder.

• Improved spacing and alignment to resemble a proper traffic stop.

• After Code 4, the requesting officer:

  • Returns to the patrol vehicle

  • Enters the correct regional vehicle

  • Drives away

  • Despawns after reaching a safe distance or timeout

Dialogue System

• Blue Officer lines remain displayed until the player:

  • Says the displayed line, or

  • Presses Y

• Pedestrian responses continue automatically.

• Ped responses attempt to use appropriate built-in GTA V ambient speech.

• Authored subtitles remain available because ambient GTA dialogue does not always exactly match the intended sentence.

• Added spoken Officer-line recognition through VoiceInteraction.

Compatibility Fixes

• Removed all calls to the unavailable:

World.GetNextPositionOnSidewalk

• Updated ground-position handling for the older nullable API:

World.GetGroundZ(position, false, false)

• Correctly handles the returned float?.

• Fixed local-variable naming conflicts such as the duplicated street variable.

• Preserved the explicit Microsoft.CSharp reference.

BETA 0.5.0 — Unified VoiceInteraction Project

• Merged Expanded Callouts and VoiceInteraction into one project.

• Kept VoiceInteraction as the project and DLL name.

• Expanded Callouts now operates as an internal VoiceInteraction module.

• Replaced reflection-based communication between the two projects with direct internal API calls.

• Reduced the installation to one primary plugin DLL:

VoiceInteraction.dll

• Preserved all five Expanded Callouts.

• Preserved existing VoiceInteraction commands and plugin bridges.

• Preserved Ultimate Backup and StopThePed support.

• Speech startup was isolated so callouts and Y dialogue continue working if Windows speech recognition fails.

Included VoiceInteraction Data

The new package includes the necessary files under the proper VoiceInteraction installation directory:

• VoiceInteraction.ini

• CustomQuestions.xml

• PedAnswers.xml

The old files were also archived:

• Localization.ini

• PatDownItems.xml

• PedAnswers.xml

• TrafficStopQuestions.xml

• VehicleItems.xml

• CustomQuestions.xml

This allows the old plugins\LSPDFR\VoiceInteractionFiles folder to be removed after installing the unified package.

  • Reduced body health

  • Front-end deformation

  • Secondary impact damage

  • Residential property edges

  • Yards

  • Gas stations

  • Banks

  • Bars

  • Restaurants

  • Stores and other businesses

  • Houses and residential properties

• Victim and suspect spawn with improved separation.

Robbery Variety

Expanded the robbery callout to six possible outcomes:

1. Suspect immediately flees.

2. Armed suspect attacks the officer.

3. Suspect surrenders.

4. Robber fled before the officer arrived.

5. Armed suspect is hiding or loitering around the side of the property.

6. Suspect becomes compliant after seeing the patrol vehicle.

  • Pistol

  • Knife

  • Crowbar

  • Baseball bat

• The robbery scenario activates automatically when the player arrives.

Fled Robbery Suspect Investigation

When the victim says:

“The robber ran before you got here.”

the following sequence occurs:

• Player interviews the victim.

• The player can approach and initiate additional dialogue.

• The suspect does not spawn until the victim interview finishes.

Robbery Completion

• Robbery no longer clears merely because:

  • Dialogue finished

  • A pursuit ended

  • The suspect surrendered

  • The suspect was located

• Both the victim and suspect must be arrested or dismissed/released.

• A robbery-resolution display shows the status of both parties.

Motor Vehicle Accident Placement

• Added a dedicated main-road crash placement system.

• Uses multiple street-node checks to avoid inaccessible areas.

• Rejects placement with excessive elevation changes.

• Derives vehicle headings from the road direction.

• Vehicles receive separate calculated positions.

• Vehicles must have at least approximately ten meters of separation.

Traffic Stop Backup Lights
