Interaction+ | Lite Computer System | Field Sobriety Test | Field Test Kits 2.2.8

@Phaxol Have you ever thought about doing a computer menu like the one in Patrol Toolkit? I mean with realistic offences and violations and all those things.

I would also suggest some other things if you want

@Phaxol Do you have plans to incorporate mulitple charge types? What I mean is I had a few calls mainly thanks to LSPDFR Comes Alive where a person would kill 2 or 3 people but I can only charge them for 1 homicide. Do you have plans to incorporate a way of giving them multiple murder charges and stuff? Like if a person beats the shit out of 5 people it would be nice to give them 5 charges of Aggravated Battery haha

I could probably make some work around for it to make this possible, will add to my list of things to do. Right now you should be able to create multiple arrest reports with the same charge, but I agree its not efficient.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, could you explain a little more?

And I am always open to suggestions 🙂

I believe @Union612 meant something like this? Image taken from Darkmyre's Patrol Toolkit release video because I do not use the mod myself.

Not quite, I mean something like this:

You know, I just want to use Interaction+. Would be the best plugin.

I'm referring to the detailed definitions in menu.

If you're talking about the charge names, they are customizable .XML files that come with the plugin that can be changed to your liking. There are a couple of customized XML files already on the site if you want to test them out:

(I believe he is working on a citation file as well)

I spoke to lucianboi and passed him charges and citations from the xmls I have for computer+, in which I added something to make it more realistic.

Anyway I was just referring to the realistic terms in those citations and charges in Patrol Toolkit.

When I started putting together my lore-friendly charges, I initially planned to record the vehicle code/California Penal Code in the name of the charge. On paper it looked awesome (and took forever to collect!) However, in testing I found that not all charges fitted into the UI space, causing them to stretch outside of the menu. While they were still readable, it looked silly so I decided to do away with it and just list the charge by name. In truth, "Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Under the Influence" within my mod actually overlaps the UI already, however until I update my mod with new charges and/or add citations, it will remain as is.

I don't want to discuss it too much here given this isn't my thread, however for relevance to your question, I won't be updating my mod with VC/PCs for the above reasons. Given lucianboi's mod also includes charges and citations with long names, he will have the same issue though strictly speaking, it IS doable. Computer+ suffers from the same issue. Many charges and citations continue past their UI text boxes but unlike Interaction+, they are unreadable. I may update the wording of my own charges mod to reflect actual charges (i.e "Driving Under The Influence Of Alcohol" as opposed to "Simple DUI", however this will depend on UI space, further testing and whether of not these changes fit into the lore-friendly theme of my mod. The difference between lucianboi's mod and mine is efficiency. Where lucianboi's mod gives you more charges than mine, many of them will never be used. Every charge in my mod is usable in-game either via default LSPDFR scenarios or via callout packs.

In conclusion, yes charges and citations in Interaction+ could be made to look more realistic, however the end result will be messy.

i agree with everything @LostBoyLazarus said.its doable to make the charges and citations more realistic, but due to the text box it wont matter if its unreadable.i have many charges currently which stretches past the menu in interaction+ and also comp+ although not too bad as i have had to change the wording of many to make them less long.

I have an idea, I can add a menu offset variable to each XML file that will give the user customizable chrage/citation menu lengths so your custom text can fit. This will also help in the next version where the headings of each charge section will hopefully be customizable

I know I wanted to change these weeks ago but the current headings have grown on me now lol.

I was going to suggest the possibility of scrolling text but it feels complicated to build and make work. I can get by with the current format myself, however if you are able to get around the UI text box size, I'm sure that my friendly neighborhood rival @lucianboi will be able to crank out a really good update to reflect these realistic charge details that people want 👍

Possible feature for another update:

License suspension/revocation for certain offenses, such as DUI, evading, driving without insurance, exceeding x points, etc.

I will look into adding error handling to this function to stop the crash, is there anything in common with these crashes that you can tell?

 Sadly, no. There seems to be nothing consistent other than being on a traffic stop and walking up to the car.

Does it crash LSPDFR? If so send me your RagePluginHook.log file. You shouldn't need to remove stop the ped.

mine is doing this also, lspdfr will not load now, crashes every time on start up. I took it out and now its fine. I have STP also. I installed everything correctly but I had to take it out. will try again tomorrow.

Hey @Phaxol, I finally got another crash. Had been playing fine for about an hour when my vehicle was hit from the rear. I pulled the car over and spoke to the driver. I obtained his ID and asked him to step out. Using STP, I asked him to follow me to the sidewalk. I then opened Interaction+ while the plan of conducting a roadside test (I had detected alcohol and narcotics) when LSPDFR crashed.

I've attached a screenshot of the console at the time of the crash and have extracted the necessary log info. Cheers.

*EDIT 1*

Playing again this afternoon and received a call for street racing. Attended scene and caught one of the racers. Finished processing him and filed charges as normal. The old issue is back: After creating an arrest report, nothing happens and I'm unable to access any Interaction+ features without a complete game restart. Everything else works as normal, just not Interaction+. I checked the console/logs but there was nothing at all.

*EDIT 2*

Following on from edit 1 above, I restarted the game and dealt with one callout just fine. The second callout however gave me more issues. Two female suspects. One released, one charged. I couldn't remember who was who so ran a record check on the female who I thought I wanted to charge. Interaction+ just stopped working again. Not able to access any of the features. Looking at the console, it appears I tried to check the wrong female, but rather then be informed of this or something, it simple stopped working. Having to restart again just to get things rolling.

If it is crashing on start up usually means you have something installed wrong, if you send me the log file I can probably tell you what's happening

*EDIT 1*

Playing again this afternoon and received a call for street racing. Attended scene and caught one of the racers. Finished processing him and filed charges as normal. The old issue is back: After creating an arrest report, nothing happens and I'm unable to access any Interaction+ features without a complete game restart. Everything else works as normal, just not Interaction+. I checked the console/logs but there was nothing at all.

That first crash is very odd, I have added error handling to that function but that crash is probably rare. 

As for the second issue, does this happen often? The reason it was doing it before was because the ped headshot cache was filled so my plugin failed to create one and stopped working, but there may be some cases in which the deletion isn't taking place and the headshots slowly fill up the cache over time. The third issue is also likely due to this as running a records check generates a headshot. The ped headshot cache limit is 35 images, is it possible that you could have generated that number in your second play through? I will have to add more aggressive deletion of these and I can probably fix the issue

I experienced the crash and have added measures to prevent it, I am going to play test it and make sure its gone before release

In other news, there will probably be another bug fixing/stability update coming before I begin the beta testing phase of development of the evidence integration, Q&A XML file, priors/past citations, and a whole lot of other new features including a new sobriety test 🙂

Not often, but it happens more than I'd like it to - restarting the game takes forever lol. I remember you telling me about the whole headshot thing and the difficulties it entailed before. It may just be one of those things. Heck, this still crashes less than when I used to mod Skyrim 😂

No, I was nowhere near 35. I can't recall what the first call was now but it couldn't have been more than two people involved. This happened on the very next call. I'm assuming its caused by Interaction+ trying to create info on a ped who is no longer there? The last few days its been great, but then I have been shooting my way out of things more.

I'll pretend I know nothing about any of that news and simply say: I CANNOT WAIT! FOR THESE UPDATES!

can this be used at all or something similar to this for stopping random peds on the road its awesome love this mod but would like something similar or same one to be intergrated for use with random ped stops

It is best used along with StopThePed, but with the proper .ini settings increasing the dismissal time it can be used by itself to stop and identify peds. Simply open the interaction menu near peds and they will be stopped
