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

 

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

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! ❤️

    Idea: random Police having vehicles pulled over doing a traffic stop that you could pull up to or just sit and watch until the officer is finished with the traffic stop. (like along the highways all over the map)

    Very nice idea,and sometimes things can go wrong with different ways like driver start shooting the officer,fighting him using hands or any weapon,knife,machete,etc..,or get out and start arguing with him.all these things but not usually.

    This is the error and it seems to be caused by PoliceMenu, not by Ransom Ambience.

    @MarcelWRLD Respectfully, as stated, removing your plugin resolves the issue, and I’ve checked multiple times. Both removing plugin/reverting to previous version. I know the error doesn’t reference Ransom… nevertheless, this build is triggering the crash. I’d also like to suggest adding non-crime/anti-social behaviour events to flesh out the world like that script Eddlm put out a while ago (e.g. peds getting into parked cars, peds asking for directions, animals wandering on to roadways, taxis picking up people, etc.). Many thanks.

    Yep I checked again, it was kinda difficult to see the error as it happened way above. It looks like something is going wrong when loading StopThePed, it's weird, idk I will see what I can do. Everything was fine for me.

    Can you add my discord: marcelwrld so I can send you the hopefully fixed file? since i can't reproduce the error you would need to test it for me

    It would be nice if it looked similar to the native lspdfr pullover events so it isn't so flashy

    Love this plugin, but on the newest update release the game crashes at any point once you press the E key on duty. I've tried to find work arounds and so far the only one is to go back to the older build of this plugin 1.4.1 for now. Hope theres a solution soon, because this plugin is beyond awesome.

    As @GTA Fanatic already mentioned most bikers don't wear a helmet so that's why I didn't want to add an extra event for that.
    "vehicle trouble" already exists, it's called "broken equipment" and it has a gas leak scenario 🙂
    Thank you for your suggestions tho 😄

    I might be in the minority here, but I enjoy seeing a random event happen while I am on a callout, traffic stop and even with my radio off.   Unsure where this trend started of people wanting this type of feature removed.  The old days of Albo1125 traffic policer and even Redneck Callouts ambient event system was great!  Nothing like being on a traffic stop, writing a ticket and having some guy walk up and start pissing on your car.  It always led to unexpected events during your callouts or even traffic stops.  Would love a feature  true/false in the ini or even a menu that we can allow these events to trigger during any style of patrol.

     

    I think the majority of your events are not intrusive to regular gameplay.

    Thank you a lot for your feedback! I appreciate it and I will definitely take it into consideration as other people also already suggested such a feature.

    Well, time to rewrite my event system one more time 🙂

     

    Edit: To let everyone know, this will most likely take a bit of time. Letting events happen during traffic stops opens new possibilities like someone ramming into your car, stealing your car or, as benzo mentioned, someone pissing on your car etc etc. which I would like to add directly with the new system. So bear with me while I'm at it 😄

    And if anyone has more ideas please let me know!

    Regarding the intrusiveness of events: I thought about rewriting a few events anyways since some are several months old, this will take time as well tho. For the time being you can always disable events you don't want to play by editing EventWeights.json (an ingame way to edit config will be added later). If you find it or confusing/need help you can always contact me 🙂
