Agency Callout Filter 1.8.0

1.7.0 - Bug fixes

Changed

• Replaced Harmony callout/scanner interception with owned dispatch using LSPDFR's public API. Native LSPDFR dispatch is now left unmodified when ownership is unavailable.

• Retired scanner replay, blocked-call audio, and generated-position distance/patrol-area filtering for third-party-callout safety.

• Removed plugin controller input and the obsolete MenuControllerButton setting. LSPDFR exclusively handles controller callout acceptance through its own keys.ini.

• Added the release QA gate: format verification, warnings-as-errors Release build, safety-pattern checks, configuration checks, and optional ZIP inspection run automatically before distribution.

1.6.0

Added - K9 Support!

• Added the K9 agency branch to Dispatch Control, manual dispatch, agency aliases, per-callout overrides, and automatic shift-profile matching.

• Added the K9 Agency profile and a dedicated K9 catalogue covering tracking, apprehension, narcotics, warrants, pursuits, and officer-assistance incidents.

• High-confidence EUP uniforms named or categorized K9/K-9 now automatically select the K9 agency branch.

• Added Automatic Context Awareness. It detects time of day, weather class, player movement state, vehicle class, and agency-derived capabilities, then strongly favors exact or keyword-tagged callouts that fit the current shift context.

• Dispatch Control now includes an Automatic/Off Context awareness control, live context status, and a per-callout context-rule explanation.

• The readable callout catalogue now supports [ContextCallouts] and [ContextKeywords] metadata with documented tags for time, weather, movement, traffic, air, tactical, K9, marine, and emergency capability.

• Callout packs can optionally use CalloutMetadataAttribute to supply their own agency and context metadata directly on each callout class.

Changed

• Context mismatch is a bounded 40% selection weight rather than a block. It works even when ordinary variety is Off, shares the same retry relaxation, and falls open when context cannot be read.

1.5.6

Added

• Controller support for opening Dispatch Control. MenuControllerButton = A is the default, and A/B/X/Y, D-pad directions, bumpers, stick clicks, Start, and Back can be selected in [Controls]. The controller binding works alongside MenuKey.

Fixed

• Agency-ineligible callouts are now rejected before their callout pack executes. They can no longer initialize pack-owned content or start scanner audio before Agency Callout Filter rejects them.

• Automatic patrol-area selection now prefers the player's actual LSPDFR duty location and uses the selected agency only as a startup fallback. This prevents, for example, a sheriff officer patrolling Los Santos from permanently rejecting city-generated candidates merely because the selected agency is Sheriff.

1.5.5

Changed

• Fresh configurations now default blocked-call audio to RespondingUnit: replay the blocked intro, then play a responding-unit acknowledgement during normal LSPDFR dispatch.

• Removed the unsupported Legacy variety mode and its numeric cooldown, history, and weighting settings. Use Automatic, Off, Light, or Strong instead.

• Split the self-documenting configuration into a compact player INI, a readable stock rule catalogue, and an opt-in expert example. Existing 1.5.5 INI syntax remains supported.

• Consolidated blocked-call diagnostics into `Diagnostics = Normal|Verbose` and scanner feedback into `BlockedCalloutAudio = Off|ReplayIntro|RespondingUnit`; legacy setting names remain compatible.

• Replaced the expert INI example with a self-contained HTML configuration reference at the root of the distribution ZIP. Advanced settings are now documented for use directly in AgencyCalloutFilter.ini.

Added

• DispatchOwnership now requires and verifies `Callouts.Multiplier = 0` in `GTA V\lspdfr\lspdfr.ini` before activation. LSPDFR documents zero as disabling automatic callouts, while Agency Callout Filter's selected calls use LSPDFR's separate API-forced start path. Missing, unreadable, absent, invalid, duplicate-conflicting, or nonzero settings keep ownership inactive with actionable status and log guidance; the Harmony gate remains defense in depth.

• Callout Interface is now compatible with optional DispatchOwnership through the official CalloutInterfaceAPI. Agency Callout Filter remains the only dispatcher and feeds accepted filtered-call context to Callout Interface, which can continue presenting its interface/MDT and the standard LSPDFR lifecycle. CalloutInterfaceAPI.dll and its MIT license are included in the distribution under plugins\LSPDFR and licenses respectively; the optional CalloutInterface.dll runtime is not bundled.

• Force a callout entries now use a pack-first label, for example `[SuperCallouts] Car fire`, so identical callout names from different packs are immediately distinguishable.

• Dispatch Control now has a root-level Force a callout workflow for manual starts: select CityPolice, Sheriff, HighwayPatrol, Federal, or EmergencyServices, then select an alphabetized loaded callout applicable to that agency. The selection immediately requests the callout from LSPDFR and is guarded by the same opt-in dispatch-ownership, conflict, duty, and availability checks as scheduled dispatch.

• DispatchOwnership replaces the legacy Callout Manager workflow. It owns eligible catalog selection, schedules dispatch attempts, suppresses unsolicited native candidates, and exposes an individual Dispatch this callout action in Dispatch Control's renamed Dispatch console. It detects CalloutManager.dll under plugins\LSPDFR, refuses ownership while it is installed, and tells the player to manually uninstall the conflict; it never removes another mod itself.

• Automatic Callout variety now uses bounded in-memory callout, pack, high-confidence category, and coarse generated-area history. Auto derives a conservative policy from the loaded eligible callout count; Off is unrestricted, while Light and Strong provide simple preference levels. Every variety rejection shares a retry budget that relaxes automatically before dispatch can starve.

• Patrol area now includes an interactive Dispatch Atlas. Its north/corridor/south layout makes Blaine County, Highway, Los Santos City, All areas, and Automatic immediately selectable and labels the active choice as Auto or Locked. The schematic only represents the supported generated-location filters, avoiding false block-level precision for third-party callout packs.

• Automatic shift setup now matches a supplied LSPD, sheriff, highway-patrol, federal, or Fire/EMS profile from the high-confidence LSPDFR/EUP agency result. The match is loaded in memory, is sticky for the duty session, and is shown with its reason in Dispatch Control. Selecting Default or any named profile creates a persistent lock; selecting Automatic returns to matching. Missing-pack profile entries remain inert without prompts or warnings.

• Automatic patrol-area selection now chooses a session-sticky City, County, Highway, or All beat from the detected LSPDFR/EUP agency, with the player's current LSPDFR zone as a conservative fallback for unknown agencies. Dispatch Control shows the selected beat and reason, while City/County/Highway/All remain persistent one-click corrections. Calls without generated positions and unavailable zone metadata continue to fail open.

• Callout Manager now provides a quick-search control, Allowed/Blocked/Unknown/Missing-stale filters, live-versus-profile-only catalog status, and pack-wide Allow all, Block all, and Reset-to-inherited override actions.

• EUP uniform classification now supports dedicated `[EupAgencyAliases]` Category2 mappings and exact `[EupOutfitOverrides]`. Override a preset to any agency branch or use `__IGNORE__` to safely fall through for undercover, mixed, or shared outfits.

• Dispatch Control now includes a live EUP uniform status row showing the matched preset, Category2 mapping or override, confidence, and fallback reason.

• Configuration health validation now detects duplicate entries, invalid General values, unsupported agency branches and aliases, empty rules, unknown sections/settings, and strict mode with no rules. Diagnostics include the source file and line where available.

• Dispatch Control now shows configuration health, the most recent reload result, and the first actionable warning. Manual reload notifications distinguish a successful reload from a rejected one.

• Stability enhancements.

• Added `[General] DebugLogging`, off by default, for a full owned-dispatch trace in RagePluginHook.log. Catalog refreshes, dispatch-cycle gates, selected candidates, authorization gates, LSPDFR offer verification, and retry decisions are emitted only when this flag is enabled.

Fixed

• DispatchOwnership starts callouts with the friendly name declared by `[CalloutInfo]`, matching LSPDFR and Callout Interface, instead of incorrectly passing the CLR type name.

• Automatic and manual owned dispatch verify that LSPDFR created a pending callout. Rejected candidates are logged and automatic dispatch retries after 10 seconds instead of falsely reporting success for a full interval.

• Owned-start authorization remains valid through nested base and override eligibility gates, preventing a callout from playing its intro and then suppressing its own pending offer.

• Scanner-audio capture preserves nested capture context when a callout invokes a patched base eligibility method.

• The owned-dispatch catalog contains only callout types with a valid `[CalloutInfo]` registration name.

Changed

• When DispatchOwnership is active, blocked-call notices, blocked intro replay, and response audio are automatically disabled and their Dispatch Control entries are hidden. The settings remain available when ownership is disabled or unavailable.

• All supplied profiles now leave minimum-distance filtering disabled. Enable it explicitly in Dispatch Control or the INI when a patrol style needs it.

• DispatchOwnership is now enabled by default in both the shipped configuration and safe code defaults. Set `[DispatchOwnership] Enabled = false` to return to normal LSPDFR dispatch.

• DispatchOwnership now uses a fresh random 60-300 second interval after each started callout. `IntervalSeconds` is no longer configurable; legacy entries are ignored safely.

• Added direct support for CampusCallouts, Frostline Crime Generator, HWYCallouts, Legacy Callouts, QwanedCallouts, UnitedCallouts, UrbanCallouts, and YobbinCallouts.

• Re-audited all 532 exact callout assignments and their keyword fallbacks using an incident-response model that lists every agency branch appropriate for the initial response, rather than only the agency likely to lead the investigation. Updated 214 rules in total.

• Corrected CarBomb in both its exact 686Callouts rule and the CarBomb keyword fallback to CityPolice,Sheriff,HighwayPatrol,Federal,EmergencyServices. Other explosion, fire, crash, rescue, active-shooter, officer-down, and likely mass-casualty incidents now include EmergencyServices wherever Fire/EMS would respond or stage with law enforcement.

• Expanded ordinary call eligibility across CityPolice and Sheriff according to jurisdiction, and added HighwayPatrol to appropriate roadway, traffic, pursuit, and escort incidents.

• Retained Federal eligibility for terrorism, explosives, bank crime, human trafficking, major interstate or task-force investigations, and federal protection duties. Removed over-broad Federal eligibility from ordinary weapon violations, store robberies, generic armed-person calls, and local warrants.

• Preserved intentionally narrow assignments for explicitly rural, named city, highway-only, and federal-protection callouts. The remaining Federal-only rules cover Aliens, AreaSurveillance, VIPEvacuation, SecretService, DepartmentOperation, and WitnessProtection; HWYCallouts remains highway-only because its discovered class names are obfuscated and the pack is explicitly highway-focused.
