So, I've no doubt that this has been suggested before by someone, but a plugin that I think would really add to the lore-friendliness of LSPDFR would be a plugin that plays music (of the player's choice) when a pursuit is started. Maybe this could even be a part of a larger plugin that adds a 5/6-star wanted level system into pursuits. I am aware that Radio Realism FR has a feature that plays wanted music when there is a pursuit initiated in Fort Zancudo, and I am also aware that Automatic Roadblocks has something of a wanted level system.

Except for that ^^ It would be really simple. User chosen music would however be a nasty problem because even though it would be simple to add an option in an INI-file, there would be a pre-request for the user to know what diskname his preferred music has. disknames are not exactly normal user-friendly, goes in something like
rock@use@tie@marquette@basic
..and there are 10000
'Someone' would need to make a 'translation-file' where diskfilenames were changed to easy readable normal-names.

Good rithms, 'Someone' 🙄

I see. I've no idea whatsoever when it comes to script creation, so good to know that for future reference. Could another possibility be to use the in-game wanted music?

It is the ingame or 'baked' music that is really hard to get to -Eg the music that plays on the Radio-stations -
Actually impossible imo. I havent even seen a catalogue with the file-names, and it is also more than likely that the DJ gobble is baked in the files too.. It would however be dead simple to make a plugin that would start to play a wave-file on a button-press. A wave-file that you have selected or made even yourself and then placed that in your plugin folder.
We can also have like 5 wave-files in plugins | <someMusicPlayerPlugin>
(Theoretically any number of wave-files -and have them play in random; -or as would be more like your first thought), having just one, and having that play asa you press that button.
That is easy ..10 lines of code
Would you like a plugin that could do that?

There are already some audio player plugins out there, so I'll do a bit of research, see if there are any that don't require a UI to use, and get back to you.

Just done a little research, and your offer for a single button-press audio player seems like the best idea, if you wouldn't mind? Also, maybe the same keybind stops the music when playing? Thanks!

Yes -that is my intention

I tried to make it with ini-file
Long story short, fails
I therefore make D1 (or '1') on the normal part of the KB to the toggle key:

 

That key is also the key for barehand, and that wont do very well / be rather annoying, but if the music-initiating only can happen if Player is using a vehicle, it wont matter(?)
If you prefer a different hotkey, let me know

Would it be possible to have it as NumPad1 instead? Just for ELS purposes
