LCPDFR 1.0 - Latest Update

[Sam 10,741]

UPDATE: 16:00 GMT, Sunday 29 Dec 2013:

 

We've been informed that LCPDFR 1.0 does not support any versions of Windows XP - Microsoft is phasing out support for Windows XP and as such, the .Net Framework 4.5 is not compatible with it.  We are now aware of this and are looking into alternative solutions.  We do, however, highly recommend that if you are still running Windows XP, you should upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, as it is a 12 year old operating system and many applications, programs and systems no longer support it.

 

Hi everyone,

 

For those of you experiencing problems with LCPDFR 1.0, here's a quick update about what we're doing to try to put things right:

 

Firstly, when making support topics, it is absolutely essential that you post your LCPDFR.log, AdvancedHook.log and AdvancedHookInit.log.  If these log files do not exist, please say so in your support thread.  Do not post a support thread without either including these or saying they don't exist - it is very hard to help you when we have to reply asking for these logs, slowing down everything.

 

Next up, we've noticed that a considerable amount of issues with LCPDFR 1.0 are arising from modified ped models.  This was something that we overlooked, sadly, and we hadn't anticipated any problems of this nature as in the past, it was vehicle modifications which caused the most trouble.  In any event, we'll do what we can to release a fix for these problems as soon as possible.  See the bottom of this post for an archive with the default police models. props and data files.

 

Thirdly, there's some issues regarding the Taser and the AdvancedHookInit.asi not being able to inject the data file lines for the Taser files.  While this should work on systems where everything is correctly installed, where the file permissions on the GTA IV directories and files are NOT set to read only, and where the game is being run as an administrator, we do have a workaround nonetheless.

 

Finally, to everyone that is having problems, I know it isn't practical in all cases, but manually installing the modification on a clean, unmodified copy of the game, updated to 1.0.7.0 or 1.1.2.0 (EFLC), should fix any problems that would arise from installation issues or other modifications.  Please note that you will need to install Microsoft's .Net Framework 4.5 first, which you can do so here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653

 

Also, please make sure you install the C++ Redistributable 2012, found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

 

Some people have fixed their issues by installing the latest DirectX runtimes, found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Need a copy of the original, default, unmodified police peds, including props and data files?

To add to that,

 

the ped model crashes appear to only affect modded M_Y_COP and M_M_FATCOP_01. If someone could confirm this, it would be great (PM me).

 

Also, some of you seem to get crashes when using the lightning modes, please don't use it at the moment. We are investigating the issue and working on a solution.

I can confirm that its a issue with TrafficCop aswell im ifraid :(

[Sam 10,741]

For those who don't have backups of their ped files, I've added copies of the default ones, along with their data files and props, to the first post.

[Firstyminator 53]

Can i ask if you have any idea what could cause it? In my ped-models i've both added and removed alot of the meshes, but the skeleton is intact afaik. 
Seems like i would have to update my models to the better :)

[The Loot 476]

I have all my cop peds modded (barring SWAT and NHELIPILOT), and so far no crashes that I can attribute to them specifically.

Its to do with the components of the ped.  We foolishly only set up some of the systems that deal with ped components (most prominently the character selection when going on duty) to work with the default peds, without testing to make sure it was compatible with modified peds.  As far as I know, none of our testers had any problems with this, and as such it's something we don't find out about until the public release.

 

Best thing to do is use the original files for now.

[Firstyminator 53]

Ah i understand. But that should only interfere with models that have some components removed i guess? As the character selection screen "showcases" the models with specific components attached? 

I remember this was an issue in 0.95 when i added more clothes to my Trafficcop. Then the script would spawn him in the selection screen with the weirdest combinations :)

ToggleSiren which is the divide button, it crashes me when I press it.....

This is a known problem and we're looking into it.  Just don't use this feature for now, and if you want, disable the key so you don't accidentally press it.  (Read the LCPDFR User Guide for more about this, although all you have to do is go to LCPDFR.ini in the LCPDFR folder and set the toggle siren key to none instead of divide).

is their a button where our character can speak like in 0.95 when we press numpad 1,4,7 they speak?

I just purchased the Steam-Version of GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City. I have instealled it with the automatic installer. My game crashes right after I left the police department to choose a car. Right after I pressed Enter to select my car the game crashes. I have a clean install of GTA IV and I have tried starting it as administrator, removed all options for folders to be "Read Only" and I am totally frustrated right now!

Can you make a support topic about this and give us the logs in it please?

Nope, but there are some speech options available:

 

Pressing shift while in pursuit will shout angry pull over warnings.

You can use the Quick Action Menu to provide dispatch with a pursuit update.

 

We'll add more speech in future versions.

Don't even bother trying to fix it for windows xp. Because the solution will fuck us all over...

 

People need to wake up and buy the $50 copy of windows 7...

 

Also since I installed 1.0 I have noticed more crashes and more texture lost.

ATL+p IS NOT WORKING I INSTALLED ALL THE RIGHT THINGS IT IS STILL NOT WORKING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!

[MasacruAlex 1]

I have right clicked on my GTA IV's folder, went to properties, unticked read only, hit apply then I hit apply again as for all subfolders and files within, I've waited for it a bit to be done and had no crash since. Had some small freezes while initiating a pull over and so on but I think it gots to do with my PC< gotta reboot as I've kept running the game and closing it (crashing mostly).
