Ransom Ambience by MarcelWRLD
Version: 1.6.7

Ransom Ambience is a LSPDFR plugin that implements location-based ambient events to increase realism

during your patrols across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Features

Variety: Ransom Ambience offers you plenty of events of which some even have different scenarios! This way you won't get bored and you don't have to play the same stuff over and over again. The plugin is also under active development which means that new events are added every update to keep you busy during your patrols across the whole map!
Lightweight: Ransom Ambience isn't heavily scripted which gives you the full range of opportunities on how you want to deal with an event.
You want to arrest the ped? Go on. You want let the ped go? Go on. You want to ignore the crimes they are commiting? Sure, go on. No annoying scripting that forces you to do something or react in some kind of way. It's just you and your own judgement!
Location System: Ransom Ambience is dependent on the zone/neighborhood that you are currently in. Some events have a higher chance of occuring in certain areas while others have a lower chance of occuring or don't occur at all. Want action? Try patrolling in high-crime neighborhoods but pay close attention to your surroundings. Want to relax? Just patrol in a different area of the map, sit back and enjoy your chill patrol with only small crimes happening.
Customizable: Don't like the probabilities of crimes in certain areas? Want to increase or decrease action in certain areas? Well, no problem! Ransom Ambience allows you to fully customize the chances of crimes occuring. Read the README of the 'RansomAmbience' folder for a (almost) step-by-step tutorial on how to adjust your game experience.
Pursuit System: Ransom Ambience of course offers you plenty of situations where you are able to participate in a pursuit. However, can you still remember how I was talking about your freedom of dealing with events? Exactly: You are not forced to participate in a pursuit, instead you will be asked if you want to initiate a pursuit. If not, simply ignore the prompt and continue your patrol!

Requirements

LSPDFR
RAGE Plugin Hook
StopThePed by Bejoljo (optional; recommended)

As already mentioned the ambient events are location-based meaning certain events have a higher chance of

occuring at certain places while others have a lower chance.

In order for events to spawn you have to make yourself available for calls which you can do using two ways:

1. If you use "GrammarPolice" you have to change your status to "Available" (e.g. going 10-8/Code 4).

2. You can open your LSPDFR interaction menu (default: M), go to "Police Radio" and switch "Available for calls" to "Yes".

If you want events to happen regardless whether you are available for calls or not, head to the plugins config menu (default: F6) and tick "Always allow events". 🙂

These are not callouts but events that may happen around you at random.

What's New in Version 1.6.7

Released February 26, 20242 yr

Changelog V1.6.7

This version fixes several bugs. 🙂

After a long time I finally found time to fix some issues with RA. You can read the reason for this long period of no updates here.

New

StopThePed: Ransom Ambience is no longer dependent on StopThePed, which means that you can play without having STP installed!
(However you are required to use the vanilla LSPDFR ped stop menu to interact with ped events when playing without STP.)

Bug Fixes

Fight: Fixed an error being thrown at the end of the event.
Ped Choosing: Fixed peds (e.g. cops) being chosen for events, which of course should NOT happen.
If you were previously using the "Ignore Addon..." settings within RA you no longer need to use those. The plugin should handle everything automatically now.

Updated files
How to update

Updated RansomAmbience.dll
Added/Updated RansomAmbience.pdb
Updated RansomAmbience.ini

Have fun! If you encounter any issues please report them to me.

Changelog V1.6.6 (Previous)

Spoiler

This version fixes several bugs, changes and adds some small details. 😄

New

Pursuit System: You can disable the automatic spawning of a helicopter now (this should fix an issue with the 'Heli Assistance' plugin).
Check 'DisableAutoHeliSupport' in the .ini or look it up in the config menu!
Event Menu: Added a 'Random' option to the force event button which selects a random event (self-explanatory lol).

Bug Fixes

Animal Accident: Fixed the event being canceled almost immediately.
Injured Person: Injuries should be more visible now.
Drive-By Shooting: Fixed possible issues with the event.
Broken Equipment, DUI, Reckless Driver, Use Of Phone: Fixed an issue where the plugin would run into an error.
Traffic Stop Collision: Reduced the amount of which the driver would miss your vehicle (it's still not perfect though; the missing is not really intended).
Traffic Stop Disturbance: Fixed an issue with animations.
Pursuit System: Fixed a display issue of the controller button in the notification.
Menu System: "Kind of" fixed the key modifier issue. If you press the normal key and then the modifier it should work without spamming.
Check for update: It should no longer lag your game for a split second when pressing the button.

Thank you for reading! ❤️

How to update Ransom Ambience I thought updating might be confusing for some people so I'm gonna try to explain it. From now on I will be adding a section called "Updated files" to each update notice to simplify the update process. It will be a simple bullet point list which will let you know what files need to be replaced/updated. Note that all files that might be updated are inside the plugins > lspdfr of the .zip that you downloaded. Below is an example of an update:

Guidelines for "Traffic Stop Events" Update V1.6.0 added traffic stop events to the plugin which specifically happen during traffic stops. For better understanding I decided to write a simple "how it works" explanation. Scroll down to the bottom if you want to see explanations for events. 1. Traffic stop events do not happen every traffic stop. Unless you set your chance to something really high (e.g. > 90) You can spawn them manually while on

I sort of managed to fix it. I wrote it wrong in the changelog though 💀 Press the modifier FIRST and THEN the main key and it should work without spamming!

My modifier does not work, what do I do?

Ransom Ambience - Update I know there hasn't been an update for the plugin in a long time...The reason for that is because I am busy working on a different, big LSPDFR plugin with @Echooo and @AstroBurgers. It is aiming to be an alternative to STP and UB in the future which explains why we are so busy with it: It's a hell lot of work 😄 If I find time I will work on RA and hopefully release V1.7.0 some time soon. If you want to keep track of "Policing Redefined" (the name of our up

One common mistake I've seen people do, which causes a similar issue, is not copying "Newtonsoft.Json.dll" to your GTA5 main directory. That file is required and must be copied to your main directory, it's in the .zip! Make sure you've done that.

If the issue persists contact me on discord and/or send me your log file so I can assist you 🙂

That was the issue, reason i didnt was because i saw that file somewhere else and thought i had it already which i do but the one i have is in my scripts for a totally different mod lol, I did however just see a lady standing up and peeing on the sidewalk like a man. is that normal? i mean pants were up staggering and grabbing her taco lol

That's not an error in RansomAmbience so I can't do anything about it. Maybe it's from a different plugin or LSPDFR itself (looks like it)

if you join the pursuit then yes the plugin will notice that and prevent new events from happening.

I probably could add a heli to the pursuit, I will take a look at it!

Though I don't understand what you mean by "L baton"? Controller support? (Shit, I forgot about that)

Edit: Regarding your heli question, you can always request a heli yourself if you need one. For now I will only add an automatic heli to the "Pursuit" and "StreetRace" event.

No you have to change the AllowNsfw = false line to AllowNsfw = true for it to work.
Everything after a "//" is a comment, it doesn't hold any values (it's just for explanation there).

Uhm well it could be an issue with the bot itself maybe?

I don't know that bot + the plugin has an own update checker so if you dont get an outdated message ingame you should be fine.

I believe the bot uses the version of this site to check, its made by @Charlie686so he should know more

Heya,

I've checked and you haven't updated the assembly information of your plugin.

Therefore, it displayes as v1.0.0.0 in the log, triggering the update message.

Maybe this could be rectified to accurately reflect the latest version? 😄

All the best.

Yeah I'm aware of that. I can't do anything about it though because it's an issue in the other plugin. I let @Echooo know about it and he said he will fix it soon 🙂

Been really enjoying my time and all— great depth and variety of events (well done on including the pedestrians ones!) — but you really oughta relinquish control of peds tasked-up to allow other plugins to step in like ‘StopThePed’ as it’s causing said peds to behave erratically in certain situations… even LSPDFR was unable to initiate a traffic stop for an event-vehicle (might be unrelated). Ability to report/flag events to create soft-pursuits/pursuits would be cool, if not yet implemented.

Issues I’m having…
