ExternalPoliceComputer 2.0.1.0

(22 reviews)

Followers

Welcome To ExternalPoliceComputer

Thank you for downloading ExternalPoliceComputer
EPC allows you to use any device in your home network (e.g. a laptop, your mobile or just the same device you're playing LSPDFR on) as a modern MDT
Important notices: STP is no longer supported as PolicingRedefined is the new standard (you can still use STP, it just doesn't sync like PR does); Your old configuration files will no longer work - remove them; Node.js is no longer required because the server is now integrated into the LSPDFR plugin

Features

New desktop like experience with modern UI and live in-game data
Ped and vehicle lookup
In-depth report system (more to come :))
Simple court system
Seamless integration and synchronization with PolicingRedefined and Callout Interface
In-depth customization and localization options

Requirements

It is recommended to use PolicingRedefined and Callout Interface

Installation

Move all files and folders from the ZIP file into your GTA main directory

Setup

When going on duty using LSPDFR, ExternalPoliceComputer will display notifications in-game containing the addresses, used to access EPC
If you missed them, ExternalPoliceComputer also generates a file including the addresses: GTAV/EPC/ipAddresses.txt
You can access EPC using any browser of your choice (however I recommend a Chromium based browser, e.g. Chrome, Brave, etc.) by entering one of the addresses (if one doesn't work, try the other)
For more information on usage, check out the GitHub README

Setup using Steam

In Steam go to Steam → Settings → In Game
Make sure Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game is enabled
Set Overlay shortcut key(s) to whatever key you want to use to open ExternalPoliceComputer
Set Web browser home page to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (or the url provided by EPC)

Customization

You can customize your config.json, language.json, arrestOptions.json and citationOptions.json; all located in the EPC folder of your GTA main directory
The config can be customized on the customization page to avoid having to reload LSPDFR
Check out the GitHub README to learn more about Plugins for EPC
I highly recommend installing these arrest and citations charges by @unitedOrange66

Mod and Mod Content (Minor)

I use GitHub Copilot's inline suggestions for VS and VS Code (mostly for repetitive code snippets). AI also helped upgrading the arrest and citation options from 1.x to 2.x. The plugin was not created by AI, AI merely improved the workflow.

As a former Officer, i definitely think this mod is a must have is your using two systems. It makes everything so much easier and im able to react quicker to a shooting instead of trying to back out and take a chance on getting shot at.

Only thing if it is possible at all that i would love to see is if there is anyways to have the map update in real time when callout pop up and/or responding to them.

Otherwise, outstanding job. Keep up the great work!

Also the fact that you can close it, go get the information you need and come back to the same place it very nice. The other mod close the citation or charge page as soon as you close the computer. The only thing I notice lately is I was not able to search a ped on the computer when arresting on foot after a pursuit. Hope it will be fix soon.

I'd appreciate if you could explain which images you mean. (Preferably on Discord)

I have an issue with the map. I see in the notes on this page that it doesn't work for Steam overlay and Firefox. I tried on Google Chrome and Internet Explorer and it doesn't work there. I can only zoom in and out I can move around the map. Any suggestions?

EPC probably won't work with IE at all.

If you want to scroll the map you can use one of these options:
1st: If you use a device that supports touch input, you can use that to move the map around

2nd: If you're device has a track pad, you can use it to move the map around

3rd: You can use the scroll wheel on your mouse; To scroll horizontally hold down your Shift key while scrolling

In conclusion: Just use any scroll function

The map is only an image and doesn't have any features, as of right now

Kewl idea, and keeping an eye on this one, but I feel it doesn't fully replace Computlite or Police Menu as of yet. Would be awesome though to see some sort of sync between this and other court cases databases in other mentioned mods. They would compliment each other instead of replace each other at that point

That's a good idea. I don't know if any of these plugins provide an API to interact with though. If you do, let me know!

I don't know how you would use EPC and CompuLite simultaneously, but I'm gonna leave that up to you 🙂

I downloaded this plugin and I noticed that the "Node.js server" is missing. All I see is the exterior within the plugins/LSPDFR and the EPC in the main directory.

The Node.js server is inside of the EPC folder.

Nope, its not in there.

I had to look through readme and saw the link that you put in there so I could download it.

The server file itself is the index.js file. You’ll have to download node.js to execute js code on your machine outside of a browser

Sadly not. At least not at the moment
