 Los Santos RED

> Enhanced and Customizable Criminal Free-Roam. 

 

Bored with the vanilla GTA 5 free roam mode? Wish there was more interaction and things to do? Hate how the cops will only ever kill and never arrest? Confused why civilians don't care that you are carrying a rocket launcher? Los Santos RED hopes to enhance the default criminal free roam experience by: adding an entirely new script based dispatching system, enhancing police/gang/civilian AI, adding stores and locations to visit, allowing you to perform actions and consume items you buy, giving you the ability to swap to any ped on the street and become that persona, adding new crimes that civilians and cops can report/arrest you for, enhancing the carjacking and lockpicking activities, adding and expanding civilian hold ups and interactions, completely rewriting the scanner system to be more immersive, and much more. The mod also aims to be extremely customizable by exposing tons of settings for the player to get the experience they want. Additional configuration settings are also available in the user editable xml files for even more customization.

I have a problem. Every time I quit the game, if I try to open it again, it crashes. To fix this, I have to delete the 'savedoutfits' file, the 'SavedVariationPLAYER_ZERO20250707233123931' file, the 'Settings' file, and the 'SaveGames' file in the 'lossantosred' folder before starting the game again.

It would be better for you to join the discord to seek help.

I for some reason cannot get the plugin to load. I get the 'could not load file assembly' / 'file not found' error that's been commented before. I know for a fact I have the required dependencies and they're up to date, so I'm a bit puzzled as to why. The only thing I can think of is that GTA/RPH recently updated within the last few days and LSR needs one too? But I don't know anything about it to know if that's true. 

 

If anyone has some other ideas of what to try, that would be great. I don't use discord so I can't hop in and search there and google results (removing scripthooks, only activating LSR plugin, etc) haven't found me very far.

Too bad that you won't come into the discord as there is more help available in there rather than here.  That being said, if GTAV updates then Rage needs updated, Los Santos Red does not need updated to match.  Many, many people are playing LSR with no issues unless they didn't follow instructions or have mod/script conflicts.  Now, since the latest GTAV update, it is highly suggested to make an entire new, clean mods folder.  That sort of information is found on the discord and not here among more information.  Troubleshooting the issue would be difficult in here.   My suggestion, make a discord account and hop in the server, up to you my friend

I'm going to assume that you are the same person I just helped in discord with the same issue.  Am I correct on this?

is it normal for the full modern traffic config to spawn almost exclusively these 3 cars: Bravado Buffalo STX, Obey Tailgater S, Annis Euros.

 

i'm not kidding when i say that almost every npc (like 7 times out of 10) spawn driving these cars and parking lots almost always spawn these 3 specific vehicles. one time i saw the parking lot beside the triads hangout that had 8 to 10 blue Obey Tailgater S's and a singular triad kuruma. i wish i had took a screenshot. i thought by installing fmt the peds would get more vehicle variety but it was the complete opposite. i still see other vehicles like trucks and vans spawning normally i guess but these 3 cars are everywhere.  its like every npc and their grandma is either driving a charger or an audi sedan lol

How do you make APBs last longer? I remember seeing the setting awhile back but I can't find it anymore, I'm unsure if it even existed.

Hi, first off — I just want to say I’m really enjoying Los Santos RED. It’s an awesome mod that brings a ton of depth and replayability to GTA V.

I’ve noticed a strange issue with some police vehicles, specifically the Jeep-style police SUV (and a few others). These vehicles always spawn without a light bar when they’re being driven by AI cops.

However, as soon as I enter or take control of the vehicle, the light bar appears instantly. This doesn’t seem to be a LOD or rendering issue — it’s consistently missing during AI use and only appears once the player gets in.

I suspect it may be related to the vehicle’s extras not being enabled during AI spawn (maybe Extra_1 or similar), and then being forced on when the player takes over.

Just wanted to flag it in case it’s something that can be fixed or configured. Thanks again for all the work you’ve put into the mod — it’s easily one of the most impressive single-player expansions I’ve played.

I made this account just to say the number of times I have boosted a car for export, safely gotten out of the BOLO area, only for a policemen to magically spawn in less than a block away from the export location, pinching me, leaving me little to no choice but to pay the 5k fine (what am I going to do, drive away from the location I just spent 5-10 minutes getting to), just to get back into my car to ONCE AGAIN get pinch by COMPLETELY DIFFERENT cop, get yanked out of my car, pay ANOTHER 5k fine literally right outside the car export... it's beyond infiltration. Also, the most easily accessibly car export location has a swinging chain linked gate that scratches the right side of your car, no matter what you do. 

 😒

And don't even get me started on the number of times I have accidentally punched a friendly gang member in the mouth because the action button on controller shares the same function as backing out of the menus (but not all menus, just certain menus. So you better not try and panic press yourself out of the wrong menu one too many times when a cop spots your drug deal from 10kil away), forcing me to disable the mod, reload an old SP save (because you can't simply reload LSR right there on the spot, the npc's either remain hostile towards you or they disappear completely, making it impossible to complete the initial transaction prior to the face-punching) which 9/10 times crashes the whole game, causing more time being wasted reloading the app, reloading the mod, reloading the save data. And even then, as if on brand or something, NONE of the gang members I wanted to buy drugs from are even there! Which means I have to call a cab, travel somewhere else on the map, dick around for an uncertain amount of time, go back and then hope that the "right" gang members have spawned back to transact with.

And I know all of this is "customizable" in the settings menu, but most of the "customization" stats looks something like "set the spawn value from -5000 to 5000". Like, what even does that mean? I don't have all day to dick around with hundreds, upon hundreds of settings, especially when I'm already offered presents like easy and default mode up front to help me jump right into the mod straightaway. Furthermore, there are currently so little resources online for this mod that a simple google search brings up nothing of substance at all. I have no way of deciphering how to access many of the jobs listed one the site or in the settings pages, let alone what -250 out of 10,000 does to the spawn rate of cats in my immediate area. This mod without a doubt is in desperate need of a wiki of some sort. 

I'm being a padantic dick right now, mostly because another invisible police officer jumped me moments before I could export yet another vehicle for the umpteenth time, so I want to make it perfectly clear that mod is amazing in so many different ways, and I'm beyond happy it exists at all. It's adds a level of immersion that I didn't think was possible in a game AAA game like this. But man, many the youtube videos I found hyping this mod up left out a TON of more frigidity, fiddly, buggy, and unfinished aspect of the project that have, if you haven't noticed, gotten deeply under my skin after spending hours, upon hours fusing around with its settings and mechanics. So, I'll finish this vent session with a final anecdote.

The first thing I did in the game was try out the street racing. Raced for pinks, and won. Cool, awesome. Where are the opponent’s cars for collection? Oh, they are scattered all over the freeway in their last know positions. Turned over, with no practicle way of tow them away or have them moved without driving onto the freeway yourself, having to use your current vehicle to smash other said vehicle in the side in an attempt to flip it over so that you can at least try and drive it away (which, naturally, gets the police involved because causing any kind of vehicular damage, even to your own property, is a no-no). I spent the first 2 hours of this mod trying to figure out how to possibly tow these cars to an impound lot and it felt like I was losing my mind after a while. I should have left this mod alone right than a there, but I desperately want to love this mod. I really, really do. But for every amazing moment I find when playing it, there are at least 2 dozen more instances of me being on the verge of throwing my controller across the room in a fit of disbelief that another fucking police officer has literally just spawned right in front of the car export, unapologetically blocking the entrance to that building as to prevent me from selling the vehicle I fought tooth and nail to get there in the first place. Almost as if the whole mod is just trolling the absolute shit out of me in an effort to try and get me to turn it off and write an impossibly long wall of text that people will inevitably judge as, "This guy needs to chill the f out, geez."

For adjusting settings such as distance that would be in meters.  For the settings in time, most of it is in milliseconds.  I'm only aware of one that is game world time by hour and that is the gang task success/fail.  

As far as the cars being left scattered across the assigned "track".  Well that kind of makes sense since they have most likely wrecked out.  I'll link a character playthrough below that shows how I deal with it.  

You may be frustrated with all the customizations that are available in the mod but most welcome it with open arms.  There are not many creators like Greskrendtregk that will allow the user to adjust the mod to their liking.  To be honest I can't  think of any other creator that allows for such freedom.  If you were to go into the discord you will see a dedicated channel for User Configs to share.  Might be beneficial for you to hop in there to get help but to see what is coming up and being developed.  

I still haven't uploaded the rest of the videos of this character but will eventually.

When I try to interact with a landmark, it always says "no interaction."
How do I fix this?

What do you want it to do, dance for you?

EDIIT:  I hope you know that I was joking.  At the moment there is no interactions with landmarks

I'm having a real problem since I installed this mod, everytime when i'm near phillbox hill playing with the Lamar save i'm getting the "err_gen_zlib2" error. I tried to unistall and install the mod again but still having the same issue. If it is possible to have such a support i would be happy cause i really loved the idea of this mod and i want to play it a lot!

For version 446 it is highly suggested to make a new mods folder based off of the last GTAV update.  This latest update uses things from the latest patch that was added.  Also make sure you have all of the requirements to run the mod,  I will provide links below this.  If you have any new or same issues think about joining the discord for faster and better assistance plus you can drop your RagePluginHook.log in the help channel for us to look at.  Not only that but you can also keep track on what's coming up.  Ok now for the links

How to load Los Santos Red ( Do not let Rage automatically load plugins )
1.Fire up the game through RagePluginHook.  In some instances you need to load the game then Alt-TAB and fire up RagePluginHook

2. Select "Story mode with RagePluginHook" bottom right of the screen

3. When in game press F4, this will open up the console for Rage

4. Start to type "loadplugin" without the quotes.  A list will pop up with LoadPlugin highlighted.  Press the TAB key to enter that into the command line.

5. Now press the Spacebar, a list should appear with all the plugins listed.  Select LosSantosRed.dll and press the TAB key to enter it on the command line. Then press ENTER

6. Now hold LShift and press the F10 key to activate the mod.

7. From here you can make a new character by pressing F10 and selecting Ped Swap/Create.

8. Make sure the Game's autosave is turned OFF.  Do NOT use the vanilla game save.  Use only the save function from the mod by Pressing F10 and select Game Saves.  Load and Save in this menu ONLY

@Gerhart67, Thanks a lot for that level of assistance. Recently I've unistalled the GTA V and installed the game again but i was having the same issue. I was insisting in use the automatic Lamar Davis save (that automatic one that comes with the mod) and that's why i keep crashing everytime i was playing it. I started a new save with different caracthers and aspects and things are ok rn, no more zlib2 errors so far, but i'll try to create a new mods folder only for LS Red if i get anymore crashes in the future. Thank you again and have a great day! 🙂

 

EDIT: I've turned off the autosave of the game aswell and now i can play the game without any problems, but i think the real zlib2 error problem was something in the Lamar Davis automatic save cause it stills crashes no matter why 😕

I don't know how often those saves that come with the mod are updated.  It makes sense that it may be completely overlooked, thanks for that information.  I hope you have a good time in LSR.  Please consider joining the discord for assistance, upcoming update, user made configs and more.

Don't install the FullExpandedJurisdiction xmls or OIV, Just install the EUP xmls.  Now that you did that you need to edit some xmls to match.  Those xmls are going to be 
ModItems.xml to add your vehicles to the mod for the LEO to use
DispatchableVehicles_EUP.xml to add those vehicles to the agencies
Could contain: text, screenshot, software, multimedia software, display, computer icon, graphics software, operating system, editing

will this mess with my lspdfr stuff or would it be easier to install this on a clean copy of gta 

 

Since this is a Plugin, such as LSPDFR, you just load it like any other plugin.  If you have Rage set to automatically load plugins then you will have issues.  Here let me post some links for the requirements and instructions on how to load it.

Of course you know you need RagePluginHook BUT you MUST use the NAudio files provided with the Los Santos Red mod.  Ok here ya go

I love this mod, I think it's one of the best mods out there, but I'm having some trouble with the license plate mechanics. After committing a robbery, I changed the license plate on my motorcycle, but the police still stop me if they see me and arrest me. How do I actually make my vehicle clean again?

Do I have to change the vehicle or will I just have to repaint it?

I honestly have not tested if the respray will remove the vehicle tag.  You could always try and see if it works.  You may have to end up just replacing the vehicle until these features can be implemented.
Also could you post normal since your font goes off the screen and it's annoying as hell, I would appreciate it.
