ALPR+ 1.0.2

When the plugin is loaded there is no problem. It only occurs when I activate the alpr with F8.

Maybe its not your plugin, I don't know. Maybe its an incompatibility with another plugin, as I said I don't know, I just noticed that problem after using it so it seems logic to point an accusing finger to the last plugin installed, its not an attack against you.

Strange reaction.

There was no disrespect intended in my post, and I didn't take any offense from yours. My point is, I can't fix a problem that I can't reproduce myself. I run GTA V on a laptop that is nearly 3 years old, and is equipped with a mid-range GPU. Do I get 60 frames per second with the settings maxed out? Hell no. But with the mods that I have, I am able to run GTA V without any loss in performance, including all of the plugins that I have developed myself.

I'm not saying that my code is completely bug-free. But I can only fix things that I can see for myself. I don't know why you get "lots of fps drop" while ALPR+ or Keep Calm are active. Maybe it's hardware; maybe it's software; maybe it's my code. We're speculating on a million things that we don't know.

The only thing that I do know is that I've tested my plugins heavily before releasing them, and I have people whom I trust volunteer to test my work for me as well. Every single person who has tested my plugins before they are released has done so heavily, and each person gave me the all clear.

Why some people are having performance issues, I don't know, and it would be irresponsible for me, or anyone else to speculate on something where there is no clear cause. I can only comment on things that I can see...and the only thing I can see is GTA V running smooth as butter.

If there is an issue with any of my plugins that can be reproduced, you can be rest assured that an update will be released to fix them. And I'm grateful that people are bringing issues to my attention, because that is how they get fixed. But simply saying "I have fps drops", and other people saying "me too!", and "me three!" (even though those issues are for different reasons) doesn't give me...any information, really. And that's not me being cold or rude, its just me being honest.

Like I said, I'm not saying my work is perfect. And if my code is broken, I will fix it. But when a plugin has over 1500 downloads within a week of release, and every review is 5 stars, and every person I have spoken to says there are no bugs...if one or two people have issues, all I can say is 'thank you' for reporting the issue, and I'll do my best to keep an eye out for it. But until its something I can reproduce, there is nothing else I can do.

I wans not asking you to do something  Just reporting I had problems like some people. I actually still use your plugins
I understand you can't fix something you can't reproduce 

@Stealth22

What do we do with the SDK folder and files that come with the download?  The readmes don't say whether or not we add those to the main directory.

Ignore it, you don't need it, those SDK folders are meant for developers to use.

You only need the files in the Manual Install, if that is the method you're using.

Manual install for life. :P  Thanks, Kal.  Just wanted to make sure I didn't leave any vital files out of the download.

no problem bud. I like the Automatic Installers, there is really nothing wrong with them, but my personal preference are the Manual Installations.

Hi all

Loving stealth22's mods. but i am getting really bad FPS drops when using these. Has anybody else been having this issue. It is with ALPDR+ but also Keep Calm.

Start reading from the 10th post down from the top of this page.. Stealth22 has commented on this.

Thanks Kal74

0.42 compatible?

@Stealth22 I encountered a non-gamebreaking bug. If you pull someone over while ALPR is NOT on, after the stop is over and you get in your car, it WILL be on.

While its not the end of the world, its annoying if you don't intend on using ALPR and don't want to have to turn it off after every TS.

Love this mod.

Though I would like to point out that the auto re-enable options for both pursuit and callout seem to enable the ALPR even if it wasn't turned on in the first place.

amazing plugin, is there a way to reduce hits on the vehicles

seems like all of Los Santos are outlaws

Does whats advertised. However I cant toggle it on or off. It will turn on by itself when entering a my car after a call/traffic stop. thats the only way to turn it on. To turn it off i have to initiate a traffic stop or start a pursuit. I spam the toggle button to no avail. ive also tried several key combination and tried the mod by itself. same results.

I am aware of the bug where ALPR+ turns itself on. Its on my list of things to fix.

I hope I'm not a pain in your side, but I sent you a message about keep calm as I'm doing a systematic performance check of each mod, and I wanted you to know that after doing this mod as well, my fps dropped by about 10-15. It was not as bad as keep calm but it caused a significant decrease in performance. Your traffic control mod seems to work just fine, but these two really seem to effect performance. Removing it got my fps back to normal.

my system is i7-6700,gtx 960,SSD if that helps at all.

Hardware rarely makes much difference when it comes to plugins like this. But as I've said before, I can't fix a problem that I can't reproduce myself. My laptop runs a 4th generation Core i7 and a GTX 760M. I have no performance issues with any of my plugins, and other developers/testers have told me the exact same thing.

I'll keep an eye out for performance issues in the future, but until I can reproduce it, there's no way for me to fix it.

That's understandable. All I can say is that In my game, every time I activate ALPR I lose about 10fps, and when I deactivate it, I gain it back. It fluctuates depending on how much it's scanning and how many cars are around.

But if you can't duplicate it, then I see how there's nothing you can do about it. I'm not trying to wish bad luck on you but I hope you can so that a solution might be found. It's a great addition!

You had to turn it THAT low? Jeeez.

I didn't get a chance to play with the probabilities too much, but even at 20%, basically every car had a hit.

I'll test with it some more when I get time.

lol yes sir i found it that its more realistic for my taste , with the default settings i get hits on every couple of cars passing by.

There will be an update coming soon for ALPR+. To keep up with what's changing, and to provide your feedback, check out my Discord server!
