So I've been playing quite a bit lately with Abraxas' mods for LCPDFR and I was thinking, is it possible to integrate the Police helper, towing service, coroner service and K-9, Police station mods to LCPDFR itself? I've noticed they've added some animations if you have the police station mod so why not integrated the other mods as well? I only suggest this as Abraxas sadly no longer updates his mods due to real life issues, so maybe it would be easier if those features were intergrated to LCPDFR itself?

 

On another note, how about a breathtest for the drunk drivers? (I'm guessing there must be some issue with this otherwise it would have been added ages ago) and an ability to deploy a spike strip yourself (if possible) or the AI at least.

 

One last suggestion, what about a jail like the County Jail mod, or maybe just use the current Police stations?

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention spike strips.

Good ideas, But i believe they choose not to incorporate mods with LCPDFR.

Although having all these, Built within LCPDFR would dramatically increase stability and be easier for noobs lol

Well if they incorporated them into LCPDFR they would no longer be mods/add ons. For example the check ped ID feature could be treated like a live scanner, so when a ped or driver says they have no ID that could check and see if they are on the Police systems (well that's how I use it) and yeah would increase stability.

Been brought up before, LCPDFR 1.0 gives you the basic Tools for policing, not the entire police sim package. That said, there are a few API mods out there :)

Oh I expected that to be honest, I only suggested it as the developer of the above mods sadly no longer updates them and I figured since ALPR/ANPR was incorporated into LCPDFR, then why not add the above mods as in game functions even if they are just lighter versions.

ALPR wasn't incorporated in LCPDFR, to my knowledge; they implemented their own ALPR feature from scratch. The more complicated something is, the harder it is to implement it from scratch.

One feature from police helper that is quite nice is the ability to control where the roadblocks are spawned via setting a map waypoint. I wonder if that could be easily implemented in LCPDFR? The current roadblocks rarely spawn in a good place to intercept the target.

When I say incorporated I don't mean they literaly copied the mod that existed, I just mean they added ALPR/ANPR to LCPDFR. I doubt they would be able to add the K-9 script easily and maybe not the Police helper, but the Tow Service and Coroner don't seem to be that complicated. Either way I figure if you don't ask you don't get even if its a simpler version of any or all of the above mods I'd be happy =D

My guess is LCPDFR staff are probably busy enough already, plus the mod itself as it stands is large enough and difficult enough to install for most users already and those mods/add-ons would just make it worse, although I totally support the mods, I just think it's best they stay independent of LCPDFR.
