Ransom Ambience 1.6.7

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! ❤️

Was anyone having any conflicts between v.4 and ELS?

I was getting Core Error ELS crashes #32 and the updated .4 was the only new thing I'd changed to my game. I saw that .5 update resolved some bugs; I'm about to run it and hope that was the solution, just checking to see if there were any others. Thanks!

 

Otherwise, @MarcelWRLD, this is awesome and I really enjoy it and appreciate your constant attention to providing all of us with a quality callout that you're very well on top of. Thank you for your commitment to us!

First of all, thanks for your feedback 🙂

Regarding your ELS issue: I haven't had that issue yet and I can't imagine the plugin causing this at it doesn't mess with any of "that" stuff.

I'm pretty sure something else must be going on 😅

You're probably (100%) right, as I'm not enough of a guru to know. I rack my brain trying to read the logs and identify the conflicts or errors, but its not my gift. Still, I'm having a blast with it and thank you again!

 

Also, update: I'm running v .5 + Immersive Ambient Events + Simple Callouts (Bejoljo) - for callouts - and its been running well!  So far, no ELS crash. 🤞👍

    The mod is crashing for me whenever I start a pursuit,with the error in the picture.

    Disabling the spotlight mod seems to have fixed the error. sadly for me, no spotlight now as I choose this mod =p

    Could contain: text, vehicle, land vehicle, outdoor, screenshot, road, wheel, motorsport, racing, car

    Uhm no, the error is not in the picture and the Spotlight mod doesn't have anything to do with RA.

    The error you are showing says that the game could not find ("Spotlight.dll") the Spotlight mod.

    It is there, I even made sure to load the spotlight.dill through the console to be sure.

    which makes it confusing., I'll try to get an error report on it.

    Now what was the issue with RA? Whenever you started a pursuit your LSPDFR crashed? Could you replicate that and send me your RagePluginHook.log file?

    Reinstalling the search light and heli assistance mods fixed the issue, no more crashes. Thanks for your time, I really do enjoy your ambience pack.

    I spoke to soon sadly =(  I went to launch the game again after posting here and it occurred again.

    sorry about this. here is my log.

     

    it seems to be an issue between either heli assistance and spotlight mod. although  I ran the game at one stage with spotlight mod and no heli assistance and it seemed fine. i'm guessing maybe heli assistance. i might be wrong. (heli assistance requires the spotlight mod)

     

    The thing is i really don't want to have to uninstall your mod or heli assistance. XD

    The issue is HeliAssistence (open the hidden content to see the error). It's unable to find the Spotlight.dll and therefore it crashes. You will need to contact the developer of HeliAssistence so he can help you out.
    There is no issue with RA so you can safely keep it installed. 🙂

    It seems to only really happen during pursuits. i'll contact the author. Thanks for your time. 😃

     

    Edit:

    If for some reason anyone runs in to my issue in future, the heli assistance mod author doesn't seem to active recently, and hasn't responded  to people going by the comment section of their mod.

     

    If you want to keep heli assistance, you need to avoid pursuits in this mod it seems or do my fix below for now.

     

    A fix I found is in the Heli assistance  mods menu,  untick the box called "enable override pursuit"  (the Heli assistance helicopter wont enter the pursuit at the very  start of it, which will stop the crash from happening)

    You can still call a Heli assistance helicopter to the pursuit from this mod, after the pursuit starts,  (as long as "enable override pursuit" is turned off)   that seems to work fine without crashes.

     

    It is the mod heli assistance at fault here, not this ambience pack.

     

    This issue is fixed now by a new setting which was added

     

    Check 'DisableAutoHeliSupport' in the .ini or look it up in the config menu!

    I thought it was a bug too, but you need to spam your combination MenuModifierKey + MenuKey to show up menu.
