XScanner v3.23.44.3460

(51 reviews)

XScanner is an LSPDFR Scanner replacement/addon.

Features:

Full XAudio2 support.
Multiple output device support, play background scanner on one device and police scanner on another.
Multiple audio emitters to choose from; player, player vehicle, police vehicles.
Customizable distortion effects for the police scanner.
LSPDFR relay.
Broadcast quick selection.
Broadcast presets; Top50, Newest Streams, Official Streams, Manual stream input, search for streams.
Supports all known audio formats, and then some.
Police Scanner playback (frontend and 3d).
Background Scanner playback (frontend and 3d) (local files or stream).
Preferred audio folder; for dispatch replacements.
Audio redirects; for dispatch replacements.
The prettiest animated menu around with theming support.

There is the possibility of editing the ini manually, but I do not recommend it due to the complexity of this plugin.
Everything can be changed through the menu (default: F8)
If you already have something bound to F8 you can either:

change the menu key through the consolecommand
```
SetXScannerMenuKey
```
manually open the menu through the consolecommand and change the menu key from within the menu.
```
OpenXScannerMenu
```

Installation: Place files from the "Grand Theft Auto V" folder into your game installation folder.

⚠️ Known Issues ⚠️
None

What's New in Version v3.23.44.3460

Released February 14, 20251 yr

Fix:

updated hook scanner
fixed streams 403-ing due to changes on broadcastify's end and showing up as down.
fixed landmarks not properly being used

Changes:

Folders under GTAV\LSPDFR\SCANNER are no longer selectable as the Preferred Audio Folder from the menu,
as this folder is generally a bigger mess than your grandmothers random trash drawer.
Use folders in GTAV\PLUGINS\LSPDFR\XSCANNER\Audio instead, which will still show up in the menu.
You can still set the folder to GTAV\LSPDFR\SCANNER itself however.
This will NOT break any dispatch replacements.
changed normalization divider to 32768 instead of 32767

Add:

Added "Vinegar Enjoyer" flag to Settings->Global Flags to disable holiday effects
Added aborts and criticals to ScannerAPIFlags
Added critical scannerblocks

Spoiler

Additions

Added keybinds menu (no messing with ini, just do it in here) (for all that's holy don't touch the ini)
Added GlobalFlags to the settings menu
- Disable Normalization (normalization got rewritten so it might not cause you issues anymore, see fixes below)
- Disable volume keybinds
Lowered volume step for better finetuning of the volume

Hey, thanks for creating this cool mod! Have you ever thought about adding a feature that allows the player to listen to Broadcastify outside the vehicle as well? Some officers wear an earpiece, among other things, and thus always hear the radio.

It has been in since the v1 release of xscanner.

@khorio I don't know if you're interested in this idea, but would it be possible to make a small plugin that make vehicles in front of your change lanes with a push of a button? You know like even when police are driving faster than the rest and come up behind cars they often change lanes to allow the officer to pass (cause nobody likes the police riding behind them). I see it when often on YouTube when officers are moving at a fast pace but do not have their lights on, people tend to still move to the side as in lane change to allow them to pass. I know we can only currently do this with code 3 but they stop and pull over to the side (sometimes), but I just think if they just changed lanes but did not stop driving if we pressed a button of something for realism. What do you think?

I don't know if it's just me or something else, but the broadcastify works fine; however, for some reason when I disable broadcastify to use the included audio default files (which I prefer), I seem to get a crash about 5-15 minutes of gameplay with nothing indicated in my RAGEPlugin report.

Is it possible one of the audio files from default are corrupted when I dragged it over?

Very unlikely and it would just skip them if that was the case. Please do the following and report back if it happens again with the log:

Add this to the end of the ini

What are your issues because there is nothing in the log. Also this is from a previous version of the plugin.

You might have some broken intro file somewhere, can you add the following to the end of your xscanner.ini and upload the log after playing for a bit:

It's because you have some sound installed thats called "INTRO" which gets picked as the intro sound instead of the default one, the update thats uploading right now should avoid that.
I'm not sure which plugin is adding the annoying dial sound but that is most likely why.

ah great thanks man I''ll work out where its coming from. Would renaming the xscanner file and ini to intro2 work?

When the update goes live (after virustotal stops flagging my obfuscated dll as malware) you will be able to give a direct path to the intended intro and outro file (it will do this automatically if you still have the default settings for them)

Intro will be lspdfr\audio\scanner\RESIDENT\INTRO
Outro will be lspdfr\audio\scanner\RESIDENT\OUTRO

for now you can check your lspdfr/audio folder for any sounds outside of the RESIDENT folder that start with "intro" and get rid of them

It's updated now so let me know if it still causes an issue. if it does please add the following to the end of the ini and send ragepluginhook.log in here after playing for a bit so I can figure out whats doing it.

@khorio is it possible to have the intro and outro sounds play before and after the background chatter as well?
