So i recently decided to quit FiveM i've done it for so long and I've decided to leave the scene and get back into LSPDFR. I guess the only thing i miss from FiveM is the server sided siresn having the ability to have 20+ sirens (not like you need that many). I've been wondering if people think it would even be possible to get more siren slots added into singleplayer GTA/LSPDFR. I think alot of people would likely really enjoy the ability to give their agencies different sirens and what not.

 

FYI, i wasnt sure where to post this thread so please move if not in the right area

 

The way that people have been doing this is by creating "dead air" files in the vehicles.oac - you can find some premade ones online - to make their file smaller, which then allows for you to replace more siren files that the game has already because of the file size limit (I believe this is 16500kb?).

 

Therefore instead of having only 4 tones, you can modify the numerous ones the game has for Ambulances, etc.

Yer i get that and im aware but i mean like addon, similar to cars where its a complete addon to the game not replacing already existing ones.

 

Its just something im curious about seeing if anyones tried it

That is not so difficult, In theory a different sound could be allocated to every key on a keyboard, and be played by only one soundplayer-instance. The real issue is to make these looping sound-files. You can listen the one i made for any car i like to use as a police-car in my plugin-demo.

My Dev-environment is atm 'down', so its not something i just can whip up in a jiffy. One issue i can see would be that the default emergency sounds would have to be shut-down, before the custom sound is initiated. That will result in a clicky sound, and there will be a delay when the custom-sound loads in the soundplayer-instance. There would also be the need for player to manually invoke 'sound-mode' select a sound, and then manually step-out of sound-mode, so all keys can be used for what they pr default is used for, not to speak of key-conflicts with other plugins..

Interesting, i think its somthing that would work really well with the likes of ELS and other siren and light modifications. If you think about it also you wouldnt really need to mute the default emgerency sounds as ELS modifies how sirens work and you need to toggle 1-3 to turn sirens on and off
