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.

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

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 @khorio - Just did your update - However now nothing will load, and it says fatal error has occurred. Did not have any issues until I did the update - This doesn't crash my game - Just no Xscanner in game now. 😞

I had the same issue after updating. I updated everything as usual, including khorio.common.dll. However, everytime I would go on duty using Force Duty, I would get the "Unhandled exception occurred/fatal error" notification and LSPDFR would crash. After checking my Rage Logs and figuring out it was XScanner causing the issue, I reverted back to an older version of XScanner, and the game began working just fine again. No crashes.

Apologies, Khorio. I just noticed that you updated again. When you click the notification bell, it takes you right to the comments, so I thought that we were still talking about version 2.1.312.993. I had major issues with it all weekend. Couldn't get past "Forced Duty" at all. Read the Rage Log, and saw what was causing it, as mentioned above, switched back to the prior version of 2.0.309.796, and no issues at all. Unfortunately, I didn't think to save the log. At present, I have the log showing the last time I ran the game, which was a smooth, no issue patrol. But for the record, the log stated that the plugin was not hooking to the game. I'll try out the latest version later today, and see what happens. Thanks for the speedy response, as well as, for this awesome plugin. It's one of my favs. Been using it forever. This was the first time I've ever had any issues with it, so I wanted to give you a heads-up. Once again, sorry for the confusion. Keep up the amazing work!

if you enable "Play from shoulder" it will play from your player character instead of a car and you will hear it always. You can also try increasing the volume as most streams are pretty low volume.

You are correct, the parser is using the wrong datatype by mistake apparently, will try and push an update today.

I am not sure if that's an issue on my side but I've got big FPS drops with this mod. I am not sure what causes this but when I go on duty my fps drop from 45 FPS to 5 FPS. It only happens with that mod somehow. When I remove this mod my FPS are stable without any drops. It's kinda funny because this mod shouldn't do that at all to be honest. Do you think it's because I am trying to connect to Broadcastify from europe? That's the only thing that sounds reasonable to me since it's a long distance.

There are frame drops. The average frame rate was over 80, but now the frame rate is 35-40 after installing the plugin.

Will look into the fps issues tomorrow even though I haven't encountered any while testing before updating.

Your crash is unrelated to XScanner, spotlight and lspdfr native invocation caused a crash, most likely resulting from a faulty mod (vehicles etc) that corrupted memory.

I am aware, it's an issue I already fixed by accident a few hours after the update without realizing it, will upload the update later today.

It has to do with the game focus checking, its not a big issue but very unexpected.

Meanwhile I ended up implementing this as well.:

Updating in a bit.
