LCPDFR crashing and sometimes crashing the game too


Go to solution Solved by LMS,

Recommended Posts

Well it looks like its my turn to have issues.

 

Ok so this problem first started when I amended the LCPDFR.ini to specify only one vehicle to pick up suspects when I can't be bothered after that, everytime I ask for a transport it crashes LCPDFR but not the game. I tested this a few times to be sure, I then tried transporting the prisoner myself, unfortunately it appears to then crash the game if I do that. This happens when I pull cars over or stop peds in the street, either using the LCPDFR menus or the Police helper functions.

 

I am using the following modifications:

 

LCPDFR 1.0d

Merseyside Police Car & Ped complete Pack

Merseyside Police stations

vdh Police station

vdh Police helper

vdh Tow Service

vdh METT/Coroner

vdh K9

Traffic Flow v5.2

Cop Manager

Door ajar chime

Seatbelt chime

MP car wash

indicators

Realtime Sync

Callouts+ (I am aware that this mod is currently not working well with 1.0d but I am not using any of its functions but I will be removing it)

 

I have attached all the logs I could find as well.

 

I am aware that this is an on going issue and that it is being looked into by the development team I don't expect a solution I just want to provide them with as much information as I can to help them fix it. I will be reverting back to my American custom mods to see if this makes any difference and I will either post on this thread or edit my original post.

 

Thank you in advance =)

I don't think it's the vehicle itself, just the ini setting seems to be misinterpreted and resulting in no valid vehicle assigned. Can you post the exact line please?

 

Also it should work again if you add more vehicles back to the setting.

Please do not PM me unless really necessary (knowing you helps). If you think you need my attention in a topic, tag me.

Hi LMS I reverted the setting on the ini file back to what it was and it fixed the problem. I'm about to do some more testing, it appears I have two LCPDFR folders one in the main Program Files (x86) and one in the GTA IV root folder. I'm now thinking the conflict was caused because I only changed the ini file in the GTA IV root folder instead of changing both. Is it normal to have two folders?

 

The line was the following:

 

[Main]

AdditionalCopCarModels=                

SuspectTransporterModels=POLICE;POLICE2;PSTOCKADE;

 

Changed to:

 

[Main]

AdditionalCopCarModels=                

SuspectTransporterModels=NSTOCKADE;

 

On a side note what does the top line do, should it be blank? I remember having something there in the past for a previous installation.

 

EDIT: Even after changing both ini files to the same value, LCPDFR seems to crash but the game doesn't. This is a very strange error =/

No you only have to edit the .ini value inside the /lcpdfr/ folder where the game is. The first option makes LCPDFR recognize other models, like BANSHEE as cop vehicles. I will have to test it on my end with only one car name and see how it goes. Thanks so far.

Hi again LMS, I've done some further testing this time I changed the ini file again to add another vehicle to the transporter list with the NSTOCKADE. I'm starting to think I may have found a bug the problem seems to be the NSTOCKADE. I'll try using a different vehicle and I will then revert to my previous custom vehicles and peds which worked fine with 1.0d to see if its the pack or an issue with the NSTOCAKDE itself.

 

EDIT: I just tried using only the PSTOCKADE this time and it crashed the whole game twice. So I'm leaning more towards it being the vehicle pack I'm using, I'll unistall it now and revert to my previous one and see if it makes a difference.

The issue is within our code. See when you request a prisoner transport, it looks for a random model with the Police and SuspectTransporter flag set. NSTOCKADE however, while having the SuspectTransporter flag set, doesn't have the police but the NOOSE flag set in addition. So LCPDFR can't find a single model. I hope I can get this fixed somehow.

That makes sense and I've confirmed it the NSTOCKADE didn't work when I reverted to my old American custom ped and vehicle packs but the PSTOCKADE worked like a charm. So I'll consider this issue resolved as you've answered the NSTOCKADE issue and the PSTOCAKDE issue must have been down to the pack I was using.

 

Thanks for your help LMS, if you need any help in testing this issue further please let me know.

I've uploaded a patch for 1.0d which should fix your issue. Would be great if you could report back.

Hi LMS, I'm pleased to report that this issue has been fully rectified, I even took the liberty of testing the FBI to see if the same issue existed but it also works as well as the NOoSE cruiser. Thank you very much for your help and if you require any help in the future with testing issues by all means send me a PM =)

Please create your own thread, with a detailed account of what the problem is and upload the LCPDFR Diagnostics log to it as well. You should not be posting in this topic as the problem which was highlighted has been fixed.
