What is EUP Backup Configurations and how does it work?

 

EUP Backup Configurations is a collection of XML files that integrates all the uniforms from the Emergency Uniforms Pack modification into Grand Theft Auto V. This modification allows players to assume the role of a first responder in Grand Theft Auto 5 while wearing the EUP uniforms. The Emergency Uniforms Pack is a separate modification that must be downloaded and installed before EUP Backup Configurations can be applied. Once both modifications are installed, the modification will function as intended. EUP Backup Configurations also include uniforms for police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians, thereby permitting players to employ the EUP uniforms for any role they choose in the game.

 

EUP Backup Configurations is configured for players who use the 9.3 version of Law and Order and 1.5 Serve and Rescue.

 

Here is a compilation of the most frequently asked questions and answers for EUP Backup Configurations. If your question is not listed, please submit it in this thread. I will try to respond to your inquiry promptly. If I am unable to answer your question, I will inform you that I am working on a resolution and will keep you updated on my progress. In the meantime, you may search the web for a response to your inquiry.

 

--> Is Ultimate Backup & Stop The Ped Required?

Partly. This modification also includes EUP backup including Police Officers, Military Police, Fire, and EMS units for the default backup menu.

 

If you do not want to have the special units (see below) then you can safely play this modification without Ultimate Backup and Stop The Ped installed.

 

Please note Ultimate Backup includes Coroner, Traffic Stop Backup, Felony Stop Backup, Towing Service, Spike Strips, Roadblocks, and canines alongside special units.

 

The choice is up to you, as the ambient spawn system works with and without Ultimate Backup and Stop The Ped installed.

 

(Air Medic, Bicycle Units, Dirt Bike Units, Fire Chief Units, Fire Pilot Units, Gang Units, Harbor Patrol, K9 Units, Riot Police, SAHP CVE, USAR Technicians, etc.)

 

--> When I Spawn At The Military Base The Guards Are Hostile?

You must disable 'Restricted Areas' in simple trainer to fix this issue.

 

--> Why Do I Spawn In The Water When Loading Into LSPDFR?

You do not have the Cayo Perico script by Vincentsgm. You must install it or edit stations.xml and remove Cayo Perico to fix this issue. Note removing Cayo Perico from stations.xml will cause you to lose the station and suspect drop-off locations on the island.

 

--> Why Do I Have An Empty Inventory When Selecting A Department In The Duty Selection Menu?

I do not set an inventory in some of the departments due to the AI firefighters using police weapons if they were to have load-outs configured in inventory_eup. You may use HoldMyGun by Sebo to give yourself a loadout including a fire extinguisher.

 

--> How Do I Remove Hats?

You can select the "No Hats" folder when installing EUP Backup Configurations or you could remove them yourself. You can locate "prop_hats" in Ultimate Backup XML files, and Prop id= in the data folder XML files and set them to 0. The same goes for any other type of prop - just locate the phrase "Prop" or "Prop id".

 

--> How Can I Change The Vehicle Settings?

You can rename the vehicle files by locating "<VehicleSet>" in Ultimate Backup or "<Vehicles>" in the LSPDFR data folder and agency XML.

 

--> Are addon vehicles supported?

Yes - please refer to the answer to the previous question.

 

--> Is EUP Menu Required (It's Obsolete)?

No. EUP Menu is not required, but it's recommended for easier navigation for uniform selection.

 

--> I Loaded LSPDFR, But EUP Badge Props Are Not Working Correctly?

You launched LSPDFR with force duty using the RAGE Console. You must go on duty at any police station marked on the map, and select the department you desire.

 

--> I Loaded LSPDFR, But Insignia (Ranks) Are Not Working Correctly?

You launched LSPDFR with no internet connection, or the servers of LSPDFR are down. Ensure you have an internet connection and the servers of LSPDFR are up and running before reporting this issue.

 

--> My Menus Conflict After Loading LSPDFR During The Duty Selection Menu.

You did not wait long enough before proceeding to the next menu. You must wait until LSPDFR, and all plugins are loaded before proceeding into the duty selection menu.
Your screen will be clear of notifications, and pop-ups indicating LSPDFR has fully loaded.

 

--> Do I Need The K9s?

No. K9s are built into Ultimate Backup already and will default to SHEPHERD if no settings are present.

Vests are not included within Ultimate Backup, but my modification has configurations enabling the vests made by martinct.

 

--> Can I Play Using More Than One Map At A Time?

NO! LSPDFR will crash if you try to load or install more than 1 custom map at a time. It's recommended to only enable North Yankton if you want to play there (and vice versa). Be sure to not have any other maps loaded or installed before attempting to do so.

 

--> I Want To Change My Settings - How Do I Do This?

You can refer to the following websites for more information about XML customization;

https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Clothes
and Ultimate Backup Reference XML within the optional Ultimate Backup XML folder.

I have one question:

 

"--> How Can I Change The Vehicle Settings?

You can rename the vehicle files by locating "<VehicleSet>" in Ultimate Backup or "<Vehicles>" in the LSPDFR data folder and agency XML."

 

Is there a difference between these methods? That is, by entering ADDON-vehicle names into the first file, but not entering them into the second, will this work?

The first pathway is designated for Ultimate Backup, while the second one is intended for LSPDFR itself. You have to make changes to both pathways because they cater to separate plugins and function differently. Ultimate Backup manages all your backup menu settings for UB, while LSPDFR data oversees the settings for the default backup menu, which also regulates ambient spawn settings.

Oh, really thanks for fast answer. Now, I all understand. Youre the best🙂

I love this configuration to make ultimate backup and eup work together.

 

However I am having an issue with FBI HRT and DOA SRT backups only responding with handguns. I have modified agency_eup.xml, inventory.xml, and specialunits.xml to try and get them to behave the same way as the rest of my tactical/swat/noose units but with no luck at all. Wierdly calling them as code 3 makes them mix in long guns sometimes, but using them as pursuit backup is discouraging. These backups should only be responding with long guns they are tactical units.

 

When I look in the xml files there is no difference between the way their inventory and loadout are coded compared to the other swat units that behave the way I want too. How can I remedy this?

 

Also I noticed after install this configuration my backup now drives much worse and more erratically. Every other pursuit when the offender surrenders all my backup comes crashing into me and the other stopped units. I notice my backup totally wiping out on the highway crashing into stopped pedestrian cars constantly. Is there a way to fix this as well?

Every unit has the same chances of spawning a pistol and rifle, but you can try removing the pistol (handgun) section from HRT and SRT and see if that changes anything. I think the way ultimate backup is coded is that the unit would only switch to the taser if currently using a pistol.

 

As for backup driving like crazy, I have no idea. My modification does not change or alter driving, but I suggest trying out ClearTheWayV and ensuring the setting everyone ignore player is disabled in simple trainer. Sometimes if the setting everyone ignores player is enabled, it would break the NPCs by either stopping completely while driving or drive erratically.

Hello Joe

 

I used your configurations, but the game crash and the error log show lines " [WARN] GetOutfitVariation: Failed to find XXX ", do you know what happened?

More than likely you are crashing because of something else. Ultimate Backup and LSPDFR themselves seemed to load up fine according to your log, but I don't see any crashes that would indicate the source of the issue. I would remove your plugins for LSPDFR and see if checking them one by one would fix your crashing issue. It is rather tedious, but there are no crashes that I can see from the log, checking your plugins one by one would ensure it's not caused by one of them.

What would be the step-by-step process for changing the regions, backup (lspdfr), and the agency_eup to make sure they are in sync/ no errors, if you are able to explain?

 

Also, would I need to change custom regions in UB to match the regions? 

If you want to change backup for LSPDFR, you can edit regions.xml. backup.xml inside of the custom folder will let you change which departments are set to the specific patrol areas. Ultimate Backup is more complicated to edit, but you will only need to edit custom regions and move the patrol zones to the desired agency.

This is helpful thanks for replying so quick! I figured your mod didn't affect the driving of the backup but was wondering if this was a common accident for others. Its probably not related to the mod thats just when I started noticing the issue most likely.

 

Yeah I removed the pistol and they went straight to tasers only. Its probably something with ultimate backup. They behave differently from my Swat/tactical backup wich only respond with long guns. HRT and SRT tend to respond like regular patrol officers with pistols mixed in. I will play with it some more. I thought of adding HRT SRT to swat and noose backup options and seeing if that changed anything. 

 

These are small details anyways, I Really enjoy the mod!

Ok I might've found out what's been making my game crash. So,  its not me modifying eup config files in ultimatebackup I found out that its the car files.

 

When i tried to add the 2020 scout pack into my game and I also installed a new game config (via Openiv) my game crashes still BUT when I remove 2020 scout pack from my game and the modded game  config my game works perfectly fine....

 

idk why this is happening because I got it to work before... I'm prob doing something wrong but yea...

I suggest opening a new support thread in GTA 5 support as your issue is no longer about Ultimate Backup. I don't use that car pack, but in my experience, if installing a car to my game, it's usually because of a botched vehicle meta or a corrupt model which is extremely rare.

Is there a way to keep my custom edits to the XMLs and change the preset from your file

That is currently not included. Maybe someday I will add that config. Some departments like Del Perro PD don't have hats, but those that do, it's on my to-do list, but unsure when I'll get to it.

That's fine, love the new version man!

hey I'm running into this problem i never had where every female for department sahp, lspd, and bcso are either wearing a hat bigger than their head or are wearing completely unrelated law enforcement hats and when i looked into the female eup they don't have any law enforcement hats and either i have to find a uniform pack that replaces the model of the hat to a different hat(can't find one) or like I'm doing right now leaving as it is until i can find a solution to the "bring your own hat to work day" problem.
