Dispatch Checkup Script 1.3.0

There is no Keyconfig in the .ini File of the newest version. Maybe you forgot to upload the new ini-File? :D

I just checked, there is.... did you download the latest 1.1? (after I made it 1.1.0a, I did forget it before...)

Seems like I got downloaded the old file. Thanks for your quick support. Great Plugin!

Nice mod, but I can't get to work the proper callsign: dispatch keeps calling me default 1-Adam-12 despite I've changed both checkup.ini and myOfficer.ini (which came with Agency Callouts if I'm not wrong) to 1-Lincoln-18.

Gah, yeah, I know what's causing that. It'll be fixed in the next version of the plugin. Should be done a little later today...

Thank you!

A few tips/requests: is it possible to have a key shortcut for the "send help" option like a panic button? When you're in trouble messing with menu could be deadly. If the plugin could read modifier keys it would be great, because now it doesn't and you can't set another key from another plugin (with modifier key) in the same slot. As a simple example: default F3 opens menu, CTRL+F3 triggers panic button.

Yep, shortcuts are coming for all the actions (except send backup, cause there's a whole menu to do that...) in the next version :)

Awesome script thanks for making.

This looks dank ill have to try it! Can you add something perhaps? I've always thought LSPDFR needed a Hang around option. In example : You are in the hood and find a group of 4 gang members loitering, you go to ID them but feel something may go down, so you need back up to stick around until the situation is resolved instead of what always happens... calling back up and they leave a few seconds later after they don't see any "issues". a Officers hang around button would be legit and very useful. 

Dispatch checks in on me every 60 seconds even when im not doing a callout or traffic stop is it suppose to be like that if so thats so anoying

Do you get callout notifications? Those technically put you in a callout, even if you don't take them, and if it happens often enough, you might get a check because of it

oh i see well i think it should be once you take the call out then the mod should start cuz then it just gets to repetitive and annoying.

I wish I could...

Unfortunately that's the only API available.

In the next version, though, I've got a slightly better algorithm that should decrease those false positives.

I'd love to do that, but I'm not sure where to start with that. All of my backup is handled by LSPDFR, and that's just what it does.

I might look into improving it somehow though. That's much more complex than my plugin though :)

Thank you for the update, it's definitely on a great path and already a must have plugin :)

Still a few issues unfortunately:

- Modifier Key does not work (I've tried FKeys with ControlKey or Alt modifiers using .NET Framework keys enumeration - for example: ControlKey+F11 for menu works without pressing the modifier, so you can't set F11 for simple status check)

- Panic Button shortcut not working at all (FKey without modifier)

Taking a look, thanks for the report...

I said in the review section it would be nice to relay a option "have one in custody" for the callout if even possible....????

//Information on playing officer. If a "MyOfficer.ini" file exists, that information will be used instead.

I'd thought I'd mention this but your MyOffice.ini is save as MyOfficerIni.dll

you can simply change the extension to ini but its unusable then, has all kinds of crazy language stuff

Yeah, that's a library, not an INI.

I didn't provide a MyOfficer.ini file, but, if you're using another plugin that has one, you can edit it and I'll pick it up.

so it will work with Traffic policers name option:

//Default: OfficerDisplayNameOverride=
OfficerDisplayNameOverride=

and

police radio:

[Main]
//Change the player name to whatever you like for when you request something to dispatch
PlayerName = NoNameSet

how would I go about making one though, if you didn't include it?

I don't think TP uses the ini file, so no I doubt it would. I think one of Darkmyre's scripts uses it though.

If you don't have one, I don't think any of your plugins uses it, so you can just use the individual plugins' configuration.

you mean to say, some of the current mods released may not use this feature? I only gave you two of the mods I use otherwise I'm lost because I thought the MyOfficer thing was referring to those..

Correct, in fact, most mods don't use it. There are a few that do, so if you have one that does, I've integrated it.

do you have a list of possible mods that have this working?
