ExternalPoliceComputer 2.0.1.0

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.

Is there ever a point in time in which I need to clear/cleanup the Court History? I notice that my list is HUGE haha. Just a thought that popped up.

Yes, I forgot to implement an auto delete or something similar. For now, you can delete it manually in GTAV/EPC/data/court.json.

Would it be possible to have the ID or DL pop up when you request ID like ReportsPlus? That way you dont have to pause the game & look under notifications if you happen to forget the peds name, its really immersive breaking.

Although I can use it now, for some reason, when I'm saving the report, the game freezes and crashes.

Hello,

I am using License Plate Changer with my LSPDFR (https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/license-plate-changer) but it seems like ExternalPoliceComputer is not finding the plate in Search while CompuLite is doing fine. Is there any fix? Thanks
