This is a sort of weird way to categorize whether a mod is "out of date" or not. A mod last compiled against 0.4.1 could still work just fine on 0.4.9. You need to look at when there were breaking changes to the LSPDFR API (almost never since 0.4). Nothing has changed from 0.4.7 to 0.4.9 that would cause any compatibility issues with a plugin. 

Thank you for the feedback! We will make some grammatical changes so the purpose of this list is a bit clearer. It's not meant to be used in the sense that using 0.4.9 is better than using 0.4.7. Heck, I still use Pragmatic Callouts and that hasn't been updated from 0.4.7. Its existence is for players to use as a reference guide while they make their own decision on what to install and to help them easily see what plugins/callouts use which versions. But, its best to not carry this on here. If you want to speak on this more, you can always DM me or reach out to us on our server if you have questions that we can alleviate.

Wait a second.. This has me thinking, does this mean LSPDFR 5.0 is next.....?!??! And if so I wonder what it might entail....?? 🧐😁

Technically...it would be 0.5.0. The full 1.0 hasnt even happened yet. 😂

I'll accept it, but only if it's as big of a jump as the last 0.3 patch was to the first release of 0.4.... 😉

Pls no. 😂 Soon we will be at LSPDFR 0.4.9.1.2.3.4.8 It will never end. 😂😂

We are gonna need more information than that. Also, it would be best to post in the Support Section as this is just for questions regarding the update and not support. 🙂

Cool update! Really like the new apartment you added.

I believe you can toggle it with the below command in the RPH Console:

ToggleSitAnywhere

You walk up to a park-bench or a chair ( i haven't tested the chair) And press E to sit. The prompt will pop up on the top left of the screen

Lessons from the virtual world, for the real world, in LSPDFR 0.4.9

 

We're back with another update for LSPDFR 0.4 which introduces a small handful of new features, as well as a couple of changes to the way in which the core pursuit system within the mod works.  

 

Before we get to that though, the key headline of LSPDFR 0.4.9 - and something that we're really excited about - is that we've partnered with researchers at two major North American research universities: Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) to explore the real-world research potential of LSPDFR, and the role that it could play in helping to understand how people react and behave in a law enforcement environment.

 

I know this might sound like a big change from the sort of updates that most of you who follow our work will be familiar with - and it certainly is in many aspects, but this doesn’t represent a fundamental change to LSPDFR itself, nor does it imply any significant changes to the way in which players will approach or interact with the mod.  Instead, we've created an opt-in system, similar to the statistics features already integrated into the mod with LSPDFR Sync, where with merely an enhanced level of in-game stats tracking, you'll be able to contribute towards our research with two top institutions by simply playing the mod.  

 

To this end, we've added a new, simple call to LSPDFR that is used to support the survey data by following a more predictable pattern as compared to our traditional callouts within the mod.  Note that nothing changes in this regard if you choose not to take part in the study, and you can still play the new call as normal.

 

The new 'Arrest Warrant' call in LSPDFR 0.4.9 has you query the Police Computer and respond to a suspect's residence.

 

By gathering together these statistics with the player’s response to a couple of in-game scenarios, we’re hopeful that we can use this data to better understand how players, and by extension, law enforcement might react in certain situations in the real world.

 

There's more information about our research study over at https://research.lcpdfr.com/ where you can also opt in to take part.  I should note that as a thank you for helping with this, the universities have given us a couple of $50 Amazon gift cards that anyone who participates in the study will be entered into a lottery to win.

 

 

Changes to pursuits, a new apartment and more interaction.

 

Back on the topic of the other stuff in LSPDFR 0.4.9, though, one of the biggest changes that you'll notice affects the NPC police response to pursuits, bringing a new sense of variety to the way in which situations can be handled by responding officers.  Instead of all pursuits within LSPDFR being treated exactly the same, we've split up the system into two modes: Investigation and Chase.

 

A new 'confrontation' during an investigation, conducted entirely by NPC officers.

 

In the Investigation state, we no longer consider a Pursuit to be an actual chase - if that makes sense.  Instead, there's a little room for diversity in the actions of the officers and the suspects, rather than just someone running and the officers following.  So, in our initial implantation of this we've created a new response scenario where the responding officers will approach a suspect at a walking pace, usually with a hand on their holster.  They'll point at the suspect, call out for them to stop, and the system then takes over from there depending on the suspect's response, with the potential the suspect to either resist and escalate the Pursuit into the Chase state (which is what we're all currently familiar with), or for them to surrender peacefully and be arrested without any theatrics.

 

Moving on from this change, there's a couple of new features that've snuck their way in to LSPDFR 0.4.9 as well, including a new Downtown Los Santos apartment that not only boasts an absolutely killer city view, but is also conveniently opposite the FIB and IAA buildings - perfect for those of you that like your LSPDFR with a side of paperwork and federal bureaucracy.

 

You can also now seamlessly sit down on most chairs and benches throughout the game world with the tap of a button.

We hope that you enjoy this update for LSPDFR and that you'll also help us out with our new research project, which we think is a really worthwhile opportunity for all of us and something that will be genuinely rewarding to take part in - it's not every day that major universities partner up with a game mod and we're thrilled to be able to take part in this.

Before you do, though, read through this topic: https://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/89691-read-will-save-your-time-common-issues-fixes-and-bugs/

 

There are a lot of fixes for common problems in there.

LSPDFR comes with the most recent version of RPH so you shouldn't have to even visit the site. LSPDFR works fine on its own so it is most likely something you installed to the mods folder. I suggest making a post in the Support Forums Section.

It would be nice if you have to solve a murder that you could also talk to the coronor on site and based on their answers you would be steered in a certain direction.
