Cryptic Emergency Traffic 2.1.1

(1 review)

Let's be honest.

You've probably tried ClearTheWayV or MTFO because you wanted traffic to actually get out of the way when responding to an emergency.

And then watched the AI proceed to collectively lose its fucking mind.

Cars brake-checking emergency vehicles. Civilian traffic reacting to things it shouldn't. Vehicles making bizarre manoeuvres during pursuits. Backup units getting caught up in the chaos. Traffic doing everything except behaving like actual drivers who have noticed a police car coming up behind them.

Cryptic Emergency Traffic was made because of exactly that.

Rather than forcing every vehicle in the area into some ridiculous scripted manoeuvre, Cryptic Emergency Traffic focuses on the traffic that actually matters: normal civilian vehicles ahead of you, travelling in the same direction.

What It Does

Traffic ahead of your emergency vehicle reacts and clears the way.
Civilian traffic is handled more naturally during normal emergency responses.
Yielding behaviour is automatically softened during high-speed responses.
Pursuit suspects are ignored and won't perform glitchy pull-over behaviour.
Vehicles involved in traffic stops are no longer affected by unwanted yielding behaviour.
Improved handling around backup units and multiple emergency vehicles.
Reduced aggressive braking and brake-checking.
Opposing traffic is no longer unnecessarily affected by the plugin.
No unnecessary keybinds.
Fully configurable behaviour through the included .ini.

Built for LSPDFR, Not Chaos

The goal isn't to make every car within a hundred metres suddenly panic because you've turned your siren on.

The goal is simple:

Traffic ahead of you recognises the emergency vehicle, reacts appropriately, and gets out of the way without creating a bigger problem than the emergency response itself.
No pursuit suspects suddenly trying to pull over.
No traffic-stop vehicles deciding they need to participate.
No backup units getting dragged into ridiculous civilian traffic reactions.
No unnecessary brake-checking.
Just cleaner, more controlled emergency traffic behaviour.

Why Cryptic Emergency Traffic?

ClearTheWayV and MTFO may work for some people, but if you've ever found yourself asking:

"Why the fuck is that car doing that?"

Then Cryptic Emergency Traffic takes a different approach.

Only affect the traffic that needs to be affected.
Leave everything else alone.
Let the emergency vehicle through.

That's it.

What's New in Version 2.1.1

Released yesterday at 04:22 PM1 day

v2.1.1

Fixed

Fixed opposite-direction traffic incorrectly reacting to emergency vehicles, particularly on motorways and dual carriageways.
Fixed oncoming vehicles occasionally being detected as relevant traffic and attempting to yield.
Reduced unwanted reactions from vehicles on nearby or crossing roads.
Further improved pursuit lock-out reliability to prevent unnecessary interference during active pursuits.

Changed

Significantly strengthened same-direction checks before traffic yielding behaviour can be applied.
Vehicle direction is now validated using both directional alignment and heading difference checks.
Reduced the influence of vehicles beside or behind the emergency vehicle.
Tightened overall traffic detection to prioritise only vehicles clearly ahead and travelling in the same direction.
Yielding behaviour is now more selective, reducing unnecessary reactions and chaotic traffic situations.

Notes

This update specifically addresses issues with opposite-carriageway traffic reacting incorrectly on motorways and dual carriageways, which could previously result in unnecessary braking, traffic disruption and pile-ups.

Version 2.1.1 continues the focus of recent updates: only affect the traffic that genuinely needs to react, and leave everything else alone.

2.1.1

So, everything is going great with the mod, but the issue I have is if the car on traffic stop fleet and I am on pursuit the car, I am chasing is keeping break checking or just doesn't go, just kind of getting stuck and don't even speed up. I don't know if that's something on my side or it's just the mod, but before installing the mod everything was great. and after I start having this issue

I'll have a look into this and try to push an update ASAP. Thank you for letting me know!

Hey Cryptic
I had AI move the plugin to the LSPDFR on duty folder
So pursuits and traffic stops don't get hit by the code
Yours is great but having it in rageplugin, can't detect suspects who needs to ignore the code

As in plugins\LSPDFR?

If so, I'll reupload the file's so that the installation path is correct.

Haha, yeah thanks to @Lunaveli I was able to switch the installation path.

I've just pushed a massive update for it now. Completely rewrote the code, the AI are a hell of a lot smoother now.

Is it just me because when i'm on a traffic stop just before they go past my vehicle they always make a full stop or they slow down to a slow speed?

Hey there!

The AI are supposed to come to a stop or slow down to a slow speed as they pass your vehicle. I made it for them to do this, so that it adds more realism, i.e., the slow down or move over law, that requires individuals to come to a stop for approaching emergency vehicles and pass parked emergency vehicles with lights activated at a slow speed.

I appreciate the support bro! I've got a few more updates planned to make this even better.

I am glad you are active on here. I was about to come cry about the plugin making my pusuits annoying and even breaking other plugins I have installed, like Policing Redefined. Gonna give the update a go!

Just released another update, this one has completely improve the AI. So the next few updates now will just be proper updates and less bug fixing hopefully.

Hey, just wanted to report something I noticed with this plugin. During LSPDFR pursuits, when I’m running Stage 3 lights/siren, the suspect vehicle and sometimes pursuing police units will repeatedly stop/go/stop/go like they’re trying to yield to the emergency vehicle. As soon as I turn my lights/siren off, the pursuit continues normally. I unloaded CrypticEmergencyTraffic and the issue disappeared completely, so it seems like the emergency traffic/yield logic may be affecting active pursuit vehicles. Figured I’d mention it in case pursuit suspects and police units need to be excluded from the yield system.

This was fixed a few updates ago, try installing the latest update to see if that hopefully fixes it.

If not I have a new update pending, which now uses the LSPDFR API. I personally haven’t had any issues with them yielding or attempting to yield with this new update pending, so hopefully that will resolve any issues you’re having.

Hello, I just wanted to point out that the assembly version of your plugin is: 1.0.0.0 instead of: 2.1.0.0

Do you have any other mods installed that handles traffic yielding or any changes to data files?

This has been extensively tested and worked perfectly fine for me and several of my QA Tester's.

Alright, I’ll take a look into and see what could be causing it for you.

If you can drop your RPH.log below for me that would be great. That way I can cross reference plugins and see if I can find one that may be causing the issue.

No-one else has reported this issue since the update that was pushed to fix it.

Please paste your RPH.log in here so I can review it and check for clashing plugins and ensure you have removed any other plugins that handle traffic yielding (i.e. ClearTheWayV, MTFO, etc...)

I just found this and I'm definitely gonna try this. Just yesterday I was playing and a car literally PIT me when I was driving in emergency to call on the highway. Hope this mod fixes that!

Does this affect AI traffic to go around you on traffic stops? If not can you implement it? Thanks!

Works a treat, I’ve not had any issues since making this with AIs crossing over me like clowns.

This is already implemented! AIs will slow down when approaching your traffic stop and go around you, and the same if your vehicle is parked with emergency lights on.
