Hello everyone! As you’ve seen, the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” update introduces several new vehicles that we’ve integrated into LSPDFR. Alongside these additions, there have been a few behind-the-scenes changes necessitating updates from developers for their mods.

 

In this news post, I’ll outline the updates for the most commonly used mods in the LSPDFR community and provide guidance on what needs updating. While the focus is on the LSPDFR community, I’ll also include general information beneficial to any user of GTA V modifications.

 

LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook (RPH)
Both LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook required updates for this new patch:

• The fixes are included in LSPDFR build 8943 and RPH 1.110, both of which are part of the latest LSPDFR download.
• This update includes support for the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” vehicles, adding five new police vehicles to the default LSPDFR loadout.
• Additionally, it includes general quality-of-life fixes from our maintenance branch, reduces the spawn chance of the gauntlet, and addresses an oversight allowing the gauntlet to spawn for prisoner transport.

Update 30th June 2024: Microsoft Defender has incorrectly introduced a false positive detection for RPH in a recent definition update. If you're affected, you'll see RPH briefly mentioning 'Verifying Hook' and crash. It may not be sufficient to just exempt your GTA folder; To start RPH, it may be necessary to temporarily disable your AV. You can re-enable your AV when RPH starts and hooks successfully.

 

Scripthook V (SHV)

SHV typically requires an update for each new patch. Alexander Blade, the creator of SHV, has updated his hook, available on the Scripthook V page. Many non-LSPDFR modifications rely on SHV, so updating is essential.

 

Emergency Lighting System (ELS)
Well, this is the update that finally broke ELS! However, luckily the file that needed an update was @LMS’s AdvancedHookV.dll library. This new file, which you’ll need to use ELS on the new patch, is available from the ELS download page.
To install it, download the AdvancedHookV_b3258.zip file and extract the included AdvancedHookV.dll into your game folder.

 

SirenSetting Limit Adjuster (SSLA)
Users have reported SSLA causing game crashes. If you use RPH, your game might crash during the "Initializing Game Support" stage. To resolve this, remove SirenSetting_Limit_Adjuster.asi from your game folder until an update becomes available.

 

Community Scripthook V .NET (SHVDN)

The latest game update also caused problems with SHVDN, including crashing when trying to open the SHVDN console, and scripts refusing to load. The fix for this and other SHVDN issues are included in their nightly builds, which you should install if any of your mods use or require SHVDN.

 

OpenIV File Mods (mods folder)

If you’ve installed file mods through OpenIV, you’ll probably need to at least update update.rpf in your mods folder. This usually involves deleting the file and recreating it, and reinstalling any modifications that you put into that file. This is the downside of using the OpenIV mods method, unfortunately.

 

LML File Mods (lml folder)

If you’ve installed file mods through LML, you won’t need to reinstall or update your mods in general.

Just make sure you've got the latest LML gameconfig.xml, which you can find here:

 

Spoiler

Old gameconfig.xml template, before the above gameconfig.xml by RDE Team was available, kept for archival:

If you’d like to use LML to also replace the gameconfig.xml, I’ve attached a gameconfig.xml replacement template to this news post that will let you use a gameconfig.xml of your choosing. To use it, place the included gameconfig folder into your LML folder, and place an updated gameconfig.xml into that folder. There is an updated gameconfig.xml available on GTA5-Mods that you can use with this template.

gameconfig.zip

 

gameconfig.xml

Please note that using an outdated modified gameconfig.xml will crash loading into story mode. An updated gameconfig.xml can be found on GTA5-Mods. 

 

Other Honourable Mentions

Heap Adjuster, PackfileLimitAdjuster, and Weapon Limits Adjuster do not require updates at this time and should continue to function normally if installed.

 

This post summarises the most common LSPDFR-related modifications and their updates. If you continue to experience issues, it’s likely specific to your setup rather than a widespread problem.

If you have any feedback or feel there are additional topics we should cover, please let us know in the comments below. Your input helps us provide better support and information to the community

You might want to make a hotfix. So many people can't get into the game. LSPDFR either crashes on startup, or for others, RPH doesn't connect to the game rendering the entire mod worthless.

There's no widespread issue with LSPDFR/RPH and player numbers are now almost at pre-patch levels - no further LSPDFR or RPH patch needed!
If you're still having issues, feel free to post in our support forums.

Good evening

Is it possible that I didn’t ask to update update.rpf and it works smoothly? 

It may also be noted that Simple Native Trainer is outdated, so it is up to the developer to fix it.

 

Thank you so much Cyan and other LSPDFR staff for working round the clock supporting its members in spite of so many things breaking! We appreciate yall.

With the addition of new content, one of the update.rpf's should be broken. You will need to do this if running on the current version of the game.

Con l'aggiunta di nuovi contenuti, uno degli update.rpf dovrebbe essere danneggiato. Dovrai farlo se utilizzi la versione corrente del gioco.

 

 

For now its ok and not request update the file update.rpf. 

 

Tomorrow i can play and try the my lspdfr. 

 

Thanks

Or, just use the gameconfig.xml LML package that already exists 😉

Yup, but was outdated at the time of my article. I will update it later, thank you!

Regarding the AdvancedHookV.dll update, Wouldn't it also make sense to include the new AdvancedHookV file in the regular ELS_V1.05 download? If new users want to install ELS for the first time, they'd need to download both the "ELS_V1.05.rar" and "AdvancedHookV_b3258.zip" and install them in the correct order. Which seems unnecessarily complicated to me.

What's caused all the needing to be updated? shouldn't it just be a regular update? they broke something didnt they?

 

 

if you dont mind me asking.

Most stuff like the mods folder and gameconfig needing to be updated come with GTA V updating to the newest title update. This is common.

 

As per the AdvancedHook issue. With the latest update, something broke in relation to ELS. Thankfully, it was a file maintained by LMS (Lead Dev of LSPDFR), so it was something easily fixed.

i was asking for "what broke was..." not "something broke"

Yeah and I gave my answer.

They update their game. Modders have to change their hooks around it. In this case, a few established memory patterns broke, although the impact to LSPDFR itself was minimal.
There was very little to no error handling on the SHVDN side to their memory patterns breaking which has led to a large uptick in support queries (it also does not help most users don't even know they have it installed). Something around vehicles/sirens changed, impacting ELS and SSLA. And the usual game recompilation which leads to SHV and RPH needing updated. None of these changes are "intentional" on the part of Rockstar, the breakage is a consequence to how mods for GTA V work. They cannot be expected to not touch their game code in fear of breaking the modding community, especially when the modding community recovers so quickly.

 

Rockstar probably does not give too much thought on people who have made mods for their game when they update it, and that's okay. We are a small community compared to the target audience of their game updates (GTA Online players). It would be great if somehow singleplayer and multiplayer were separated a little, but they're not.

SSLA update available

Is there currently a way I can remove these DLC vehicles from the mod? I have several packs installed and when I call for backup, the DLC ones respond and it just throws everything off. 

Hello, this thread will now be locked, as it's run it's purpose. 

 

A new update has been released today.
