Now with limited ammo! They have a lot of it though, so it shouldn't be too easy.

LOL. Well that wasn't intended.

​Zerg Rush.

Anyway, at this stage, it seems that V has less hard-coded stuff than IV.
 

A lot less. There are tons of info in .ymt files, which were editable on consoles, but on PC they are locked so far. Gotta wait for the OpenIV team to crack the code.

By the way, I've already made some textures for peds and cars - as soon as texture editing becomes possible, I am going to test them.

Nice!

Thank you for Better Police Weapon, Yard1 ! That's exactly what i want. Thanks ( sorry for my bad english)

I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong, but I have trouble applying this mod.

I replaced dispatch.meta with OpenIV, and installed OpenIV.asi as well. (This seems to be the one blocks the online feature, and probably the cause of the problem, but I cannot remove it, since it will just crash the game on startup.)

Whenever I try to load the game, it says 'Activation Required' or something like, and it always forces me back to windows.

I tried to load the game in steam offline mod with no avail.

Did I miss something? Any insight would be appreciated.

Well, it's for sure not caused by my mod - it must be something to do with OpenIV.

If you restore you backups/validate your local files with steam then you should be able to remove the OpenIV.asi. However, you won't be able to load modified archives without it.

So using these files, is it possible to set cops to use nightsticks at 1 star? the security guards do it, so maybe it won't be a hard thing to do.

It would be possible if one were to remove pistols from the cops.

 

Ok, it seems that removing the motorcycles solved the problem. It's a shame though. I am going to upload a new version ASAP.

​Sigh. I always wanted SAHP bikes responding and not sit there on the side of the road doing nothing. I guess you can't have everything in life.

I wonder why sometimes, when you obtain wanted level near the fort, you're being chased by the military. Are they somehow associated with LEO in the game files?

Yeah, they are spawned using the same system as the police.

EDIT: Nevermind i'm just crap! (As always)

Managed to edit it to my need.

lol so I made a video with almost 60 cops responding at 5 stars, this dispatch.meta isn't hard to edit at all anyways I post the video sometime today.

Well I am think of if these possible:

Spawning SWAT without a car (so we don't need to be limited by the car seat and we may create a SWAT sniper)

Spawning an Army Barracks with 10 soldiers inside

 

It's sad that we can no longer get a riot car with SWAT inside like IV...

​I know, I miss having SWAT units respond in an actual armored SWAT vehicle rather than some FIB cars. And I'm surprised the Riot doesn't work, I mean peds can hang off the sides of that just like the FIB Grangers. Oh well, hopefully someone can figure it out in the future.

Awesome work!

Two questions:

First, do you think something liek this would be possible? You have already achieved quite a lot from my list:

"If there is anything Americans really want, it is a fully locked-down, completely monitored police state!
Unfortunately, the LSPD and the Blaine County Sheriff Department haven't done a strikingly good job so far, when it comes to keeping the streets of San Andreas clean...
That's why we need more cops patrolling the state, so the hard working people of SA can stop worrying about their safety and start to worry about government surveillance instead.

Unlike in GTA IV, where there was literally an LCPD car around every corner, there are barely any cops in GTA V. But as soon as you commit a crime, the appear out of nowhere. So I was wondering if it is possible to create a mod that changes that. I was thinking about adding patrolling cop cars to the traffic of the city and its surrounding areas.

Make some cruisers spawn from time to time, maybe not as frequent as in IV (after all you'd probably see less police cars in LA than in NYC). Some cops patrolling on foot would be nice too, maybe alone in areas like Rockford Hills and in groups of two or three officers in more dangerous areas like South Los Santos.
Another thing this game really needs is more diversity in terms of police. Seriously, there are so many emergency vehicles in the game, yet law enforcement always stick to the same few.
Have normal Vapid Cruisers drive through the city of Los Santos, with Unmarked Cruisers and Police Transporters also spawning from time to time. As soon as the player gets a wanted level, Interceptors appear as backup (as it is now). On the highways in and around LS, they should use Police Buffalos. Police Mavericks should be flying around the city, keeping an eye on everything from above. (happens very rarely)
Next up is the countryside: Obviously, the Sheriff Cruiser has to be used as their main vehicle here, have them drive around Blaine Country. (except for the national parks, those are already being patrolled by the Ranchers in their SUVs) Occasionally, the should also use Sheriff SUVs. Additionally, have some Police Bikes drive along the highways (they can already be seen standing on the side sometimes, but usually the SA Highway Patrol don't drive around in them).
The waters around and within the entire state should be controlled by Police Predators (not sure if that is already the case or not).
Even though there are female models for both, LSPD and LSSD, in the game, female officers are a VERY rare sight in GTA V. Maybe that too can be changed (e.g. let ever 10th cop or so be a woman).
Additionally, it would be cool to have other first responders like fire fighters and ambulances roam the city as well."

 

And secondly, is there a way to make this mod usable without having to replace update.rpf everytime you wanna play online or the game updates?

Anyway, amazing work thus far!

Even though am kinda understanding the dispatch.meta file a bit there's a few things that am confused

1) How did you make the FIB spawn with at least 4 in one car as well why don't they spawn on Los Santos but they do on County 

2) Is it possible for most cops to wear at least some hats and more variation.

3) Am not sure but is it possible to add the CIA? if so whats the CIA ped name?

4) I don't know if it's true but the SWAT can only respond on the fib car and nothing if it's not true what do i do to fix that?

​IAA peds are possible to add tho Yard said he wouldn't do that since they aint LEOs. Anyway the ingame ped name is "ciasec" if I got it right. 

Well, nothing but the FIB Granger works with Noose, and even Yard seemingly  didn't figure out the reason. So far.

And cmon people, they aint SWAT, they're NOOSE!11 :D

​Is the  FIB Unmarked Granger hard-coded somehow?
