As some of you may recall I made a status update about how I planned to recreate Callouts+ for GTA V. Today I am pleased to inform you all that this is definitely the case and that CalloutsV will be made.

This thread will offer you a rough idea as to the callouts and features I plan to create as of now, and once in development this thread will act as my WIP forum area to give you updates and respond to support requests and suggestions.

I hope to make CalloutsV the biggest and most comprehensive callouts plugin possible.

Planned Callouts

Many of the callouts from Callouts+ will be making there way over to the big city of Los Santos, for you to engage with. In addition to these there will be multiple paths to take with several callouts, including decisions to make and timers to race against. In Los Santos, your police training will be hit hard. Don't expect tutorials and easy callouts. You'll need to think on your feet.
Below is a list of callouts I plan to make:
I have assigned colours for indication of progress, red not done, orange in progress, green done.
• Officer Down / Requesting Assistance
• Illegal Street Races
• Broken Down Vehicles / Highway Obstructions
• Road Traffic Collisions / Motor Vehicle Accidents
• EMS Requesting Escort
• Injured Pedestrians
• Vehicle Fitted With Tracker
• Location based events (at stores etc)
• Many more...

Planned Features

I originally said no features, however due to the way I plan on changing each callout means I will need some default functionality. Don't worry though! If you would rather use another plugins tow truck or paramedic, you can! I will be designing each callout to consider what happens if someone else repairs the car or heals the ped or takes them away from the scene.

Suggestions, Ideas & Feedback

Of course this is a plugin about what you guys want to see as much as what I would like to make. Suggestions will always be accepted, but not always implemented or used. Feel free to post ideas below as always.

Developers, Have your say!

CalloutsV will blatantly not be the only callouts plugin for LSPDFR, with time other developers will want to jump in on the action. If you do plan to release callouts, feel free to drop me a message via the PM system on the forum. With multiple different people working on callouts it's hard to ensure each plugin remains unique and fun, developers will often overlap ideas and that's where problems occur. To work around this, get in touch so we can discuss ideas, I'm already in conversation with FinKone and Straysify to ensure we don't tread on each other's toes. So don't hesitate to contact me.
Warning: If you choose not to contact me, and then get pissy at me for "copying" your idea or you decide to copy mine. I will not take too kindly to this, make the effort to get in touch before trying to slate me for theft etc. I'm not a nasty person, and I will happily discuss things with other developers to peacefully resolve conflicts.

Would be nice to respond to code 3 callouts like store holdups, hostage situations, code 2 calls like disturbing the peace, domestic assault etc. :D Just an idea

I knew I forgot to add something! Yes I plan to remake my store/location based callouts. Thanks for reminding me I've added it to the list. :)

cool :)

Sounds great can't wait ;)

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Wow great idea Luke!

As Stray said, can't wait to see what it's coming!

Maybe you both should coordenate your callouts so we don't have repeated callouts, it's just a suggestion though!

Sometimes, when I read posts, I hear music in my head.  Its not always epic music... but...

This is the music that came into my odd-ball brain when I saw this topic.  ;)

Timers? Please dont make this into an arcade mod.

Other than that, i really loved Callouts+, and i'm sure i'll love CalloutsV! Good luck :)

They wont be the sort of timers you're thinking of. Cause I can't stand them. "drive your taxi to this place within 2 minutes" Yeah no fuck that right off.

They will be very carefully implemented to make slight alterations to the callout. There will absolutely never in a million years be a timer that says "you have X minutes to go somewhere or you fail".

So simply, "this much time has passed, now this happens"? Variety.

That's exactly what it will be.

Ahaa! Glad to hear :) I'm really looking forward to this.

You have a PM, sir. 

awesome ! 

Have been dreaming about modification which would allow to walk with a flashlight. the flashlight model is in the game there,as well as the animation of the policeman with him. Ah, dreams.)))

Really can't wait. Thanks Luke!

We're already in contact about our ideas so that we don't overlap. I've removed a couple callouts from my plugin already, so that they don't overlap with his plugin with the same callouts.

Wait, you have access to the API already? :o Hope v0.2 arrives soon. :D

glad to see this making a return. 

 

I would like to see a callout for illegal hunting / poaching ,involving  hunting people down in the woods, Checking fishing licenses etc  maybe searching them finding illegal game etc. Things that relate to the wildlife out in San Andreas !
