Better EMS 4.1b

(85 reviews)

legacy

Better EMS brings a whole new level of medical response to LSPDFR. And given how often you crazy officers run people over, shoot them down, beat them up, and otherwise put their lives in danger... it's about time the medics in Los Santos picked up their game.

Packed with features to give your casualties their best chance of survival, Better EMS has several key benefits:

Integration with popular mods including Arrest Manager, Patrol Toolkit, LSPDFR+, Police Smart Radio, PeterU Callouts, and more!
Realistic response units: A fire truck will dispatch from the nearest fire station, and an ambulance will dispatch from the nearest hospital.
Customize your backup units and spawn points. Life guards respond near the beach, park rangers respond in the mountains. Use any vehicle as a response unit.
Dynamic dispatch audio based on the injuries detected.
Revival probability is dynamically adjusted based on injury type, body part hurt, and how long it took for EMS to arrive.
Custom revival probabilities - edit the survival chances for any combination of injury and body part!
Revived patients are taken to the ambulance and driven to the hospital, not just left to wander off!
If more people get hurt while EMS is on scene, they will quickly tend to the new casualties.
Detailed incident report tells you the name and status of each patient.
Developer API allows plugin creators to call for EMS, or for an ambulance to transport a single ped.

Full instructions are included in the README file; please read it carefully!

This mod requires LSPDFR 0.4.6 or later. There are no other external dependencies besides LSPDFR and the files included with the download.

If you have crashes, bug reports, etc, please post in the forum thread and upload a copy of your RagePluginHook.log, your EMSUnits.xml file, and your INI file. No support can be provided for problems reported in reviews, or not providing the required files listed above.

What's New in Version 4.1b

Released March 12, 20206 yr

New in 4.1b:

Fixed bug which would cause LSPDFR to hang indefinitely when RPH was configured to load LSPDFR immediately at startup

New in 4.1:

Added compatibility for new version of ParksTools.dll
Added INI option to enable/disable advanced parking task on arrival at scene
Fixed bug which caused Visual Studio to crash when using Better EMS API

Previous changelogs:

Spoiler

New in 2.1:

Now requires RPH 0.45+, compatible with any more recent version.
If the player health is below 80% (configurable in INI), medics come over to the player, give them a health kit, clean their clothes, and armor and health will be set to 100%.
Fixed ped spawning so components and texture selection works. Updated default XML file accordingly so firefighters spawn with helmet but without SCBA gear.
Added responder ambient speech.
Fixed various bugs which were causing responders to get stuck on scene.
Fixed bug causing crash when coroner removes a body that EMS is in the middle of trying to fix.
Some improvements to vehicle spawning and warping code.
Added a ambient actions for responders who are on scene and finished dealing with patients - e.g. walking around, looking at any dead bodies, taking notes, playing with their phone, etc.
Miscellaneous other changes.

New in 2.0:

Ambulance-only mode, where you can dispatch just an ambulance by default. Comes with numerous options to automatically dispatch a firetruck/first responder in certain circumstances like MVAs, multiple injuries, or if the first responder is closer. Includes new keybindings to manually choose whether to dispatch just an ambulance, let the plugin decide based on your options, or dispatch both. If the first responder didn't dispatch but you change your mind, you can press the dispatch key again to manually add them to the response.
Impatient mode, especially for all you YouTubers out there whose viewers apparently can't be bothered to wait a realistic amount of time for EMS to show up. Now, you can configure a maximum driving distance, and if the units spawn further away than that, they'll automatically be warped to a closer distance which you can also configure.
Improved warping, now units will automatically warp on a street facing the correct direction, and they will appear almost exactly the driving distance away that you specify in the INI file. Woohoo!
Unbelievably better driving AI. Responders will now drive much faster on the freeway, will slow down on dirt roads, and will slow down near the scene. Their ability to avoid obstacles and drive sanely has been improved.
Automatic speed zone around scene will slow down traffic to a configurable speed when they are near the scene you called EMS to. The speed zone is automatically created when you call EMS, and automatically removed when the last EMS unit departs.
Improved tracking between EMS calls will ensure that if a ped gets checked by EMS and doesn't make it, that if you call EMS again to the same area, they will remain dead and will have their original time and cause of death.
Park rangers added to the EMS response units XML file, by popular request!
Lots of API additions for developers to use, check out the included documentation.
Tons of internal improvements which will make Better EMS run smoother, faster, and more reliably.
Improved dependency checking, to get rid of those annoying pop-ups every time RPH updates.

New in 3.0:

Requires RPH 0.45+, recommended for use with RPH 0.51
Added configurable survival rates. Check survivability.csv in GTA V\Plugins\LSPDFR\EMSMod. Make sure to save and close this file before going on duty.
Improved detection of nearby dead peds.
Various API enhancements for plugin developer integration.
Added support for Police Smart Radio integration. You can call or cancel EMS response using Smart Radio, and Smart Radio also integrates with Better EMS to determine ped cause of death for its coroner feature.
Fixed bugs that occasionally caused some peds to not be treated or appear in the EMS report twice.
Fixed bug that caused medics to wait forever when using hospital pickup feature and player walks far away from the patient.
Other miscellaneous bug fixes and internal improvements.

New in 4.0:

Added compatibility with new versions of LSPDFR and ParksTools.dll, and with Coastal Callouts
Added Better EMS menu (bound to | key by default)
Added option to disable automatic ambient fire/ambulance response
Other minor bug fixes

Hey @PNWParksFan, is there an API parameter to just call medics or firefighters?

I've been having a similar issue with BetterEMS crashing LSPDFR when moving the bodies or picking up weapons or money while the first responders are near. In the uploaded log, the exception occurs at [RagePluginHook.log1/13/2022 3:51:22 PM.364], with the message "Exception message: Processing cache while it's still in use - one or more subcalls may have caused the thread to yield" . The game itself doesn't crash, just LSPDFR. Anyone know what's causing it?

Not exactly sure if my question is redundant, or has been previously answered, but is there any possibility of integrating this with the response units called from UB?

Like UB (or Grammar Police for that matter) triggers the rescue units from Better EMS! Is there a way already? Or can it be done?

For some reason whenever I call for EMS, i get a popup saying something about ELS being disabled when calling unless I hit "Y" to disable something. Any help with this?

This is related to using ELS vehicles. Have you tried pressing Y?

I am having an issue with Zancudo Fire Station. At first, I thought it wasn't in the configuration ini file but, I finally saw it and added my custom units to it. After calling first responders while on Zancudo Air Force base, I get a constant responses from Paleto Bay Fire Station and Hospital instead of Zancudo Fire Station. Am I doing something wrong or?

Yes, it still works. I haven't added any new features lately but everything is functional. You may need to use a newer version of RageNativeUI.dll than what's included with the download.

Can you add a white sheet that either the player or EMS leaves/ can place over a dead body until corner arrives just like how the police would do irl?

When calling Ems with grammar police i still am getting the default units. I have checked the ini file and it says that the default Ems is disabled. if I use the semi colon key it works fine but it will not work through grammar police. worked until latest update

Hi, having an incompatibility issue with I think GSW 2. When the EMS units arrive they attempt to render aid, but if they fail the Ped gets marked as Alive and I have to shoot them again to mark them as dead again. I for now just turned off GSW 2 peds and am just using it for myself, but I enjoy the aspect of hitting someone once and after a long firefight they eventually bleed out from the first hit, or the way they get a bit wobbly and fall over when starting to enter shock. Would be insane if somehow you made this compatible with GSW 2 and maybe even added some features and used its damage tables to help calculate survivability odds, doubt it as this seems somewhat abandoned but a man can dream.

Having an issue when using BetterEMS with Restrain the Deceased, at least I think that's the issue since it worked fine before I started cuffing downed civilians. Included my RPH log would be nice to get those two mods working together if it's indeed an issue.

Edit: Nvm, it was an issue with Radio Realism that has been fixed by the author.
