Hello everybody I haven't ever posted on these forums so please excuse me if this post is in the wrong location. I have been working on an application that can be used for doing reports for LSPDFR since I like the realism aspect of it and I feel even using something like Compulite or ComputerPlus isn't as realistic as I would want it. I started working on this project for me and a few friends who I know also wanted the same thing and I wanted to see if it was something anyone else would be interested in. I had never originally planned to release it but I figured I should see if it was something anyone else would be interested. This application took HEAVY inspiration from PaperWorkPlus which is an application I enjoyed while it was active and was a great tool. The program was created in Java and would most effectively be used on another laptop that you have next to you, I use my MAC with it open so it functions similarly to the laptops in patrol vehicles.

 

I have attached some images of the application below, it is fully functional and stores reports in an XML format.

Features-

* Create Reports for Citations, Callouts, Patrols, Traffic Stops, Impounds, Searches, Incidents, and Arrests at the moment.

* Fully Functional Log Database which displays all the information for every log. 

* Make doing the reports faster by transferring information into another report. Say if you created an arrest report you will likely do a search report, so if the create search report button is hit from the arrest report it transfers all the information over like the suspect name, location of arrest, etc. which is a huge time saver.

* High-quality zoomable map

* Notepad text area, very useful for remembering location info and search items.

* Customizable UI, the default is purple, and three different colors can be modified, Main, Secondary, and Accent, I plan on making everything entirely customizable.

* Fully Modifiable arrest charges and citations through XML. It follows the same XML format as Compulite, so plugins like Realistic Charges and Citations for Compulite work perfectly for adding a ton of charges and citations. That is what I have loaded in the screenshot.

* Tons of Divisions and Agencies to choose from which took heavy inspiration from PaperWorkPlus.

* Many more

 

I am looking forward to any feedback on whether this is something any of you would be interested in me releasing.

That looks really cool! I recon there has been a similar third party application like this which allowed you to write reports and notes but sadly it was removed from the site.

Would be cool to see this being released eventually.

That's nice, also when it will be released?

This reminds me of GTA World Police MDT, which is hosted on an external server. 

 

I'd love to see this being released someday.

I'm fine with releasing it any time as long as it is something people would be interested in. This is still an early version, I have a lot of stuff I would like to add still, and update the UI since I don't know how I feel about it in its current standing.

Yeah, I was kind of shooting for something that's similar to that. My goal with this project is to make an application that actually functions like an actual police computer, with the ability to incorporate into LSPDFR and have callouts you receive actually go to my application, similar to how ExternalPoliceComputer can be used from another PC and receive information. This would be a feat to accomplish since I mainly program in Java, not C#, but I have some ideas for making it work.

👍Would defs use this. Id suggest creating sudden death reports. (basically a report on the death of a person) and you could even go to the peds address for death message. its morbid but realistic

@Guess1m any updates? been just over a month 🙂 

Yep! Created a way to receive game updates through a server that can be installed onto the computer that is running GTA. The server is connected to the ReportsPlus application across your network and transfers files to the client with ped data/vehicle data etc.

 

Currently, I have created a way for callouts to be displayed within the application as well as when you ask a ped for their ID with StopThePed the ID is actually transferred to the application.

 

I have also added a ped lookup feature and plate lookup feature.

 

All of the report creation windows are external now since I made the log browser embedded in the main window instead of an external window. Not sure yet how I feel about the external report windows but it may look better with a different color pallet.

Great idea, I am surprised that I hadn't even thought of this.

I feel like the community could benefit from this. It brings a fresh perspective and shows genuine effort. While it would be amazing if it could somehow integrate it into the game, I'm not even sure if that's possible. Still, it's pretty awesome as it is. I hope it'll work like External Police Computer, and uses some FR APIs.

Ive already established a way to connect into the game, I actually used a very similar method that ExternalPoliceComputer uses, my program is in Java, GTA is C# so there were limited options. It works by having a lspdfr plugin that sends data to a folder that my server picks up which sends data through your network to the actual ReportsPlus client, this is the same way that EPC does it 👍

Amazing update, the potential here is huge.

I have put up the first public release of ReportsPlus, this is still certainly not a final product and definitely needs some fixing but im releasing it so people can give it a try and help out with development.

 

Consider joining the ReportsPlus Discord server I just made for helping with testing, support, requesting features, and development updates. 👍
