Siren Mastery

SUPPORT IS NO LONGER OFFERED - FEEL FREE TO HELP UPDATE THE CODE

Siren Mastery is now open source. https://github.com/Albo1125/SirenMastery

Siren Mastery is a script modification that allows you to master your siren tones. Toggle to your secondary siren at the press of a key/button, silence your siren using any key/button you like and even control exactly which 'secondary' siren plays! You can be up and running with Siren Mastery within 5 minutes (installation tutorial click HERE).

Requirements - some of these are included (credits go to their appropriate authors):

Albo1125.Common 6.6.4.0 or higher (included)
RAGEPluginHook 0.51 or higher (not included)
NAudio 1.8.0.0 (included)
A legal copy of GTA V (version 1.0.1011.1 or above).

There is also a download to free up unneeded controller bindings so they can be used for Siren Mastery. Get it here.

You can find some new, customised UIs for Siren Mastery in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

Summary of current features (please check documentation carefully too):

Change the Siren Toggle key/button and assign it an optional modifier key/button.
Change the 'lights only' toggle key/button and assign it an optional modifier key/button.
- This works even if your siren is off so you can control whether your siren should play before turning your lights on.
New 'Toggle Secondary Siren' key/button with an optional modifier key/button.
- This allows you to switch to secondary sirens without having to hold down a key/button.
New 'Toggle Bullhorn' key/button with an optional modifier key/button.
- This allows you to keep sounding your bullhorn without having to hold down a key/button.
- Works simultaneously with sirens.
New 'Next Siren' key/button that cycles to the next siren.
- Can optionally include the Off state as a cycle stage.
Your siren now stays on when you leave your vehicle and you don't mute it.
- This can be disabled from the GeneralConfig file.
Determine the siren tone that should be playing.
- You are able to select which siren tone to play, including the ability to differentiate between secondary sirens.
Additional Siren Modes
- Dual Siren Mode.
- Manual Siren Mode.
Additional customisable sirens per vehicle model.
- Allows you to have up to TEN total sirens per vehicle model.
Fully Functional and Customisable UI.
- Feel free to create and release your own custom UI files.
- The size and position of the UI can be customised via the UIConfig file.
Customisable Siren Switching Tones (like Siren Switch Honker).
Sirens are fully customisable per vehicle model via an XML file.
All keybindings are customisable and fully customisable controller support is included.
The vehicles.awc size and length limits are effectively removed while using Siren Mastery, allowing for greater siren variety.
British Users: You can now have British Siren Switch/Toggle sounds (in other words, horns!). Simply replace the relevant files in the Plugins/SirenMastery folder with the ones included in Siren Switch Honker's download.

Support is no longer offered - what to do if you encounter a bug or have problems:

Watch the installation video for my modifications here.

Read the documentation file if you're having trouble getting a specific feature to work.
Suggestions can be made here.
If all else fails: Please leave a comment (not a review). Include your RAGEPluginHook.log file, located in your Grand Theft Auto V folder. Also, please provide an accurate description of what happened.

Does Siren Mastery work with the latest game patch of Grand Theft Auto V (v1032) ???

@Albo1125 I have always loved this mod, and I'm still trying to use it with ELS. I went through your readme and got everything working together but all the AI vehicles are silent with lights running. Is there any way around this or no? Thanks!

@Spitfire7

Your config file is slightly different then mine, so I'm assuming that you haven't updated SirenMasterY? Is that correct? Also check to see if your ELS is updated to v1.05.

When you start your duty, after enabling LSTG3, I believe the standard setting is that the sirens turn on. What I do is at the beginning of my shift I press the ToggleSirenSoundKey and the siren is put in stand-by mode. Then if you activate LSTG3, you shouldn't have to hear a siren.

The ToggleSirenSoundKey is the button I use to turn on and of my sirens.

I love this mod, better then the siren system of ELS and what I did to make ELS fully compatible with sirenmastery is to remove all of the siren keybindings in ELS. I have attached my ELS.ini. After that I changed the keybindings in sirenmastery to my own liking.

For the airhorn key, what you can do is to configure the VehicleSirenSetup. Set airhorn as "Horn" and if you have rumblers and hilo's as "ForcedOnly". Ifyou set your rumblers and hilo's to horn. The key used for horns will sound that as well.

Let me know if this works out and if you need further support.

ELS.ini

@Albo1125 Me and @icallhertaco11 have difuculty with AI vehicles sirens will not work in game. Are you aware of this and/or do you have a solution? Thanks bud !

I was just wondering if you figured out the AI vehicle siren bug? I just set everything up to work together with els, but no AI sounds is pretty much a killer for me right now.

@Destroyer11687 If your vehicle.awc file is more then 15.75 mb the sound gets muted. See if that is the case and make sure you keep the size limit.

Thanks, but that's not the problem. I get sound fine on every vehicle and sirens are fine when I'm driving around and using them. But the AI cars are silent with lights running. I'm not the only one to report this issue recently, but no one has replied with a fix. I'm guessing there isn't one?

Hi @Albo1125, I got a question for you.

I've installed this mod and it works perfectly, thank you for that.

However as soon as AI vehicles show up, only the lights are on and the siren is off.

Do you know why and might you have a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

@Aellwyn did you by any chance figure out the AI issue? I am having the same problem and Albo isn't responding about this issue so I'm wondering if I'm just missing something? Thanks!

I've followed the readme to the letter, but the plugin crashes when I load it unfortunately. I've run the troubleshooter and it doesn't come up with anything. Is it because maybe it isn't compatible with the current rph or GTA version, or could it be anything else?

I've also got ELS running, I've changed the "true" variables of the sound section in the ELS files all to false as well.

Here's the piece of log concerning loading & crashing SirenMastery

I've been running the troubleshooter to try and fix some problems but when I try fixing the 'SirenMastery' there was no 'vehicles' file in with the download. I have downloaded the old version of SirenMastery and there wasn't one available there either.

Please help:

Hey guys,

So I installed custom sirens before and they worked but I'm having trouble. I just downloaded ELS along with ELS cars but I can't get sirens to work. I tried both the regular way and how to install if you have ELS and can't get them to work.

thanks for any help!

@Albo1125 for some reason when I try to customize the ini file to how I want to use it, it always just switches to default when it game.. For example I made turn on siren LeftThumb and turn on siren sound DPadLeft but when in game it doesn't work. Do you know why this might be happening? Also the vehicle I am using it on is not a ELS vehicle so I don't want DPadRight as the siren sound because it turns my headlights off and on when I press it.. (Nevermind I figured out what the issue was.. I put It as DpadLeft instead of DPadLeft, So it works now)

For anyone still wondering:

The UI Vehicles cant use their siren until you change some stuff in the controllerconfig. Police UI units will then use !ONE! siren tone. I dont know why they dont change the siren but its better then nothing. I have attached my ini file so you can use it or change all your setting to the ones i use. (Probably not a good idea for anyone really using the controller with sirenmastery. I use my Keyboard for that)

Use that.ini

Hey, Albo.

I spent ages getting Siren Mastery working. Everything worked for about 3 days, but today when I started up GTA V Siren Mastery wouldn't load up, giving an error (cannot check Ragepluginhook dependencies". All your other mods work fine.

Disregard.... it is now working again, but I've got no idea why lol

So I have the mod downloaded and it was working fine. Next time I go to play the game the controls don't work. It says the mod was loaded fine, but when I use the keybindings for it they just don't work. Anyone know what may be going on? I tried the troubleshooting thing and it didn't find any errors with this mod, and I tried re-installing it a couple of times to see if that may fix it and it did not.

Hey I have like all of your mods installed for lspdfr except for siren mastery. I wanted to change my siren so I thought that I would install siren mastery. I installed it correctly even watched your video of common fixes. When I go on duty as an officer it doesnt work and then I haven to reinstall all of your other mods. Would you be able to help thanks.

For whatever reason it says there's an error about some exception and every time I choose to run the troubleshooter it decides to bring me back to the you tube tutorial which I have followed very carefully! did I click something wrong?

@Albo1125I’ve been using your plugins for a long time and finally decided to try to make my own siren setup. I did everything as explained in both the video and the written instructions, but I get this message: “Your VehicleSirenSetup.xml file is not valid. You may have made a mistake while editing it. Error thrown at Line 24, at character 21”

I then tried to see what was wrong and everything seemed good. I tried editing the line to make it “look better” in the way to clean up the lines. I got exactly the same messege, but I know had a different siren on line 24. Please help me!

Hey @Albo1125,

Just getting things back up and running after a hiatus and am running into an issue getting SirenMastery to load (via Console). Everything is up-to-date as of today and I'm using the current AlboCommon dll. (The SirenMastery part of the log is the last item in the log)

I'm going to try loading the earlier AlboCommon dll to see what happens and will update this post.
