ExternalPoliceComputer 2.0.1.0

(22 reviews)

By HeyPalu

8 Screenshots

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

 

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


Issues And Enhancements

  • Join The Discord Server for support, suggestion, and upcoming versions: https://discord.gg/RW9uy3spVb

  • This is my first LSDPFR Plugin or C# project for that matter; So please don't be too hard on me if you find out that my code is shit

 

Source Code

  • The code can be found on GitHub

  • Do not upload the code anywhere else and claim it as your own

AI disclosure

The author has disclosed that AI tools were used in creating the following aspects of this file:

  • 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.

    Would it be possible to add Ped images in future updates when looking up a ped?

    No, at least not for me. More experienced C# and RPH devs might be able to, but I am not.

    They are two different plugins. They were created by two different people in two different programming languages. RP+'s base plugin is also based on EPC's base plugin, but has been improved further to include more in-depth features.
