I was having trouble with the Spot light, but have now corrected the issue and this may be the same issue plaguing the radar gun mod. However using the radar now crashes my game, so Im trying to figure out the confliction that may be occurring.

 

The fix I found for spotlight; is that in the Script for GTAPolicingTools, the model names for spot light and the radar gun are incorrect. They currently show as gpt_radar and gpt_spot_06. In my effort to fix the radar gun I tried installing a new model via openiv which is where I noticed that the model names are tns_radar and not gpt. A quick edit via notepad and it fixed the issue, with the exception of crashing my game when the radar spawns. Despite this everything else works fine, so I hope this fixes the issue for some of you.

^^^ I hadn't updated my weapons.xml which brought on the crash. All is fixed now and its as simple as changing the text in the script and ensuring the code for the radar weapons.xml is correctly added to the common files xml. Only other issue that crops up with this mod is the spike strip failing to load after the first use. Tend to not let you do another as you have to dismiss it and even when you have dismissed it, it still wont load.

Right, believe I have it all fixed now.

Did not bother to run it by testers because they are all stuck in that black hole. Please, send them your wishes of a speedy rescue.

v1.1:

* Fixed language loader

* Fixed non-loading models

* Fixed typos

* Added more installer logic

* Seperated installer license pages

* Added missing weaponinfo.xml

What is the spike strip feature like? Is it a request that is placed and AI police set it up or is it a device a player can manually set down? Does it work in a multiplayer situation?

AI set it up, but you tell them where on the map. Untested in multiplayer due to my game being buggy at best in SP.

Also forgot to mention: Closing the game will show this error:

No clue why. Ignorable.

-snip-

 

That tends to happen when you add models to the game

It only appeared to happen after fixing the missing weaponinfo.xml, with that file not being loaded it never happened. Maybe GTA V will be better ported ......... *ear damagingly loud laughter*

ok..so I got the radar to spawn after installing the new version. But now his arms are aiming the radar to the sky and wont move...

Sounds like the WeaponInfo.xml file did not update.

Either edit pctwoninersixWeaponInfo.xml to the following or copy the replace the file with the one in the .7z file.

<weaponinfo version="1">

Make sure you run the installer as an administrator (right click it), and make sure the directory it points to during installation is correct.

i did and my UAC is always on and its always run as admin.
