Features

All features are developed from scratch by me. I hope you will enjoy them. I'm aware that there are other talented mod authors out there, also providing some of the features I have implemented by my own. That's why I designed this plugin to be highly configurable. You can disable almost any feature by it's own if you prefer another mod for that.

Quick Overview

1. Speedometer - Vehicle Dashboard - Fuel Gauge
2. Barriers & Cones
3. Block Traffic with your parked Emergency Vehicle
4. Fuel Simulation & Interactive Gas Stations
5. Repair Shops
6. Coroner
7. Roadside Assistance Mechanic
8. Tow Truck
9. Bank of Liberty (Money Simulation)
10. Customizable Vehicle Exit
11. Fully Optional Cheats Menu
12. Automatic Turn Signals

Vehicle Instruments

This mod comes with a speedometer, fuel gauge and vehicle dashboard. They will work with cars, trucks, bikes and quad-bikes. You can configure the position, size and more while playing via an in-game menu. The speedometer does support km/h and mp/h.

The dashboard displays the following values: open doors warning, headlight status, engine status, tire-pressure monitoring system, fuel warning, hand-brake and emergency light status. A symbol that turns yellow wants to draw your attention to a problem. Let's assume the tire was damaged, now there's a tire misalignment and your vehicle tends to pull slightly in one direction. This changes the air pressure. The display turns yellow. If the tire has completely burst and you are riding on the rim, the display turns red.

Barriers & Cones v2.0

I decided to keep Traffic Block (my predecessor mod) the light weight mod it is and implement barriers and cones v2.0 into Traffic Suite. You may ask yourself what is new? Based on user feedback I added more barriers, the option to choose how barriers should be removed (last, nearby, all) and more options. There is also a brand new easy build option, where you can build barriers via key-bind while the menu is closed.

Block Traffic with Emergency Vehicle v2.0

"This feature allows you to operate on a street in case of an emergency, without having NPCs driving around you. Traffic stops will not be blocked by this feature, because it triggers only when you park your car diagonally to the road" - quoting myself.

Based on user feedback this feature can now be disabled/enabled in-game via menu or key-bind. In addition I improved the detection of valid road block scenarios, it should now be more easy to park your car diagonally to the road and block the traffic. All .ini settings supported by "Traffic Block" are also supported by Traffic Suite, they were just renamed. See version 1.0.3 and above, a pre-configured .ini comes with the download. You can find the settings in the [SirenStopsTraffic] section of the .ini.

Fuel Simulation

If you wish, fuel consumption is simulated for the vehicle you currently drive. My aim was to have a somehow realistic calculation (7.5L per 100 Kilometers, you can configure it in the .ini). In addition you can choose the simulation factor in-game via menu, to increase the fuel consume. Fuel consume on quad-bikes and bikes is reduced compared to cars and trucks.

Gas Stations

Drive to a gas station, exit your vehicle and accept the offer (configured action key, by default Y). Your vehicle will start refueling. Different gas station brands offer different prices. May the hunt for the cheapest gas station begin!
 

Repair Shops

15 Repair Shops in San Andreas will wait for you to repair any body and engine damage to your vehicle. Drive to the shop, exit your vehicle and accept the offer via Y. Your vehicle will be fully repaired while your fuel level will not change. In case your car was almost empty, the repair shop gives you just enough fuel to make it to the next gas station.

Services

Coroner, Tow Truck and a Roadside Assistance Mechanic are 24/7 at your service. Apart from the coroner each service will cost you 500$ per provided service (read more about this in the "Bank of Liberty" chapter). In case the service is not available, the Service Dispatch will inform you about the problem.

Limitations: the Tow Truck can only tow cars and quad-bikes. The roadside assistance mechanic can only repair fuel and engine related problems. Both limitations can be overwritten in-game, but I guarantee nothing. Consider not to call too many services at once, more than two may lead to chaos.

Bank of Liberty

The Bank of Liberty does authorize and handle payments for Tow Trucks, Roadside Assistance, Gas Stations and Repair Shops. This feature supports playing as Michael, Trevor, Franklin or custom LSPDFR character (custom characters are limited to 65.000$). A daily payroll at ~0:00 AM (midnight) will add money to your account - configurable via the Traffic Suite config file. Of course the Bank of Liberty can be disabled via menu - if you wish to play without this feature. As additional income you can get a share from towed vehicles - but this optional feature must be enabled by you.
 

Customizable Vehicle Exit

Leave your vehicle with style! You decide if the driver door should stay open or not, if indicator lights should be active or if the wheels stay steered. This feature is fully supported by the Traffic Suite menu and can be configured in-game.
 

Optional Cheats Menu

When you activate this feature before starting your game, the Traffic Suite menu will contain a new sub-menu called "Cheats". The Highlight of the new Cheats menu is the vehicle repair function, that will only repair your car but not fill the gas tank. From now on you can fix your vehicle and still experience the fuel simulation and gas station feature.

Automatic Turn Signals

Drive left, drive right or in a straight line: your turn signals will react to it and let others know what you are up to. This feature can be configured ingame via the Traffic Suite menu.

Requirements

• A legal copy of GTA V
• RAGE Plugin Hook
• RageNativeUI 1.9.2+ ( https://github.com/alexguirre/RAGENativeUI/releases )

Installation

1. Ensure Rage Native UI is installed (it's not included in my download)
2. Copy the plugin folder into your GTA V folder
3. Configure the .ini to your needs
4. Enable the plugin in the Rage Hook Settings. You can find more detailed instructions within the ReadMe file.

Known Bugs

• The mechanic is not very familiar with sports cars: Wrong position or animation with rear engines.
• Given that you reload my plugin while playing, the fuel calculation for your last vehicle might be wrong.
• The Tow Truck driver is still in training. Help him by parking the vehicle to be towed well aligned on the road. Otherwise the driver might chooses the sidewalk.
• Vehicle dashboard light status does not work in broad daylight (you should turn off lights anyhow 😉)

Troubleshooting

1. Ensure that you have followed the instructions within the ReadMe
2. Ensure that the plugin was installed into GTA/plugins
3. Ensure that you have at least RageNativeUI 1.9.2+
4. Acknowledge: Controller / Game-pad input is not officially supported by me for this plugin
5. Acknowledge: By downloading another mod you may have downgraded your RageNativeUI, see point 4.
6. Acknowledge: by using the "repair" console command (or any script that does auto-repair this way) your vehicles fuel tank will be set to full again. Avoid these commands if you want to play with fuel consume.
    

If you still have problems contact me via private message or on discord (see down below) and attach the RagePluginHook.log. I can't help you without this log file!
The Ragepluginhook.log is located in the GTA main folder. Do not share screenshots of your console.

For Mod Creators

• The Bank of Liberty feature just uses "Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Money". If your mod does too, Traffic Suite should work fine with it.
• For the fuel calculation and fuel gauge I make use of "Vehicle.FuelLevel". If your mod does too, Traffic Suite should work fine with it.
