Important Notice – End of Support I have officially retired from GTA V modding. Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features. Please consider this project permanently finished and archived. After many years of developing mods and supporting the community, I’ve decided to step away and move on to other priorities. I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

If you're going to use a forked version of RageNativeUI, you should call it something else.

The problem is when using the updated version of RageNativeUI 1.9.2, which is the most updated version online available, his mod won't work.

There are several good solutions to that problem. Forking the repo and putting out a copy of it labeled 1.9.3 that breaks compatibility with existing plugins is certainly not one of them.

I already plan to add this to Venoxity common. And use public rage native ui

Also what do you mean it brake compatibility? I been using my version completely fine with other mods such as callout interface, etc

Restart your game after turning it off. It's what worked for me. If not, do a clean install of simple trainer and it should fix it.

I'm having issues being able to get out of a spawned car. The mod is great but being able to get in and out of my car would be nice, it could be on my end and I don't doubt that so any kind of help/suggestions would be appreciated.

The issue has been resolved, big shoutout to their discord and actually troubleshooting with the community!

The issue was on our end according to the dev. So what was causing the issue then? I'm all for finding issues and enjoying the plugin. But when you put a blindfold on what the community is telling you, how this can be solved with the community?

For me the issue was that I had god mode enabled on my vehicles which was colliding with the mod. I turned off a few settings within the vehicle god mode menu and I was good to go. If you need some help troubleshooting I would be more than willing to walk through it with you and see if we could find the problem!

Yes. That was the problem. For me, I had to reinstall simple trainer. Changing the above was not working for me. Thanks for offering your help. I appreciate that.

i got this weird issue when using the plugin i'm stuck in my car and i can't get out, not by pressing "F" and not by using my controller which is fairly important to be able to do in this game lol, surpringsly tho the plugin works fine regarding everything else (haven't tested the refueling part tho), i don't mind creating a ticket for this but i just hope there is a simple solution for it that people here know rather than having to go through all that.

Great mod but I had to give up on the latest version which doesn't work even with the stable version. I'm too new to know what's going on, it's a shame.

damn i had this and i fixed it but can't remember what i did i think i went back and just reinstalled some things and i guess one of them was missing. maybe try rage from the website and lemon maybe use nighty script hook in the download of this mod

Don't forget to add the texture and overwrite the files, when dragging the files into the "Grand Theft Auto V". Just read the file in the Documentation Folder

But I still have this Problem:
Using the indiccators crashes the plugin for me - hazard lights work

Same issue here, can't get out of any type of vehicle.

Some people were saying to turn off godmode or reinstall simple trainer, I'm using WeMod, have no actual trainers installed in the game and never used godmode, still having this problem.

Earlier on when it happened, I simply opened the RPH console, disabled SimpleCTRL plugin and magically it allowed me to get out of the car. It's not a lot of work to disable and re-enable the plugin when it happens but I think that basically means the problem is the plugin and not trainers or whatever no?

i fixed it, i believe you simply need to update the game to the latest build, i was still on 2845 which apparently is already a year old, that explains why certain plugins don't work properly lol i tested it with 2 builds with same plugins and same method on the 3095 it works and on 2845 it doesn't work no matter so yeah just update, make sure you have no plugins that might overlap (seatbelt plugin by Faya is fine) and it should work

The realistic damage with the repair shops works great on civilian vehicles, but it doesn't work on cop vehicles. I can damage a cop car however I want and the menu to repair the vehicles never pops up and the vehicle never stops working. Is this inteded not to fuction on cop cars or can I enable this somehow?

Other than that it's one of the best plugins I have used in my 6 years playing LSPDFR, great work and thank you!
