Love your ideas! Especially the one with drug lab raid while using Trevor's meth lab location. I was also planning to work on some sort of SWAT/Raid mod but it would take me ages since I'm not familiar with C. Got PHP experience so that might help, though, since C and PHP have some things in common. But still, I don't think I have that much free time. Got some ideas for simple mods so I might start with that. Also, with something like Albo's Assorted Callouts, there is no point in making something like that. I think that community would benefit much more with providing Albo with their ideas to improve this mod over a period of time. :)

Anyway, Albo, if you need some testers for the future callouts you add to this mod, feel free to contact me. :)

Hey, you shouldn't get discouraged by other people's creations! Keep in mind that I only started coding as a hobby at the end of July this year! It is extremely fun to do and once you get the basics of C#, it really isn't as daunting as you'd make it out to be now. We have lots of developer resources around the forums and we have a GitHub with examples, so if you feel like doing it, give it a try!

Don't worry, I'm not discouraged, I am actually very exited about creating my own mods, especially after seeing how fresh with C# you actually are.  I thought you are a professional developer. Anyway, when I find some time I will try to use my web development knowledge and see how I can apply it to faster C# learning and creating some simple mod for the start (got some ideas).

Thank you for your support!

Hey guys I made a video showcasing the Heist callout so if you want to see it go check it out, hope you guys enjoy!

I think it's really cool that when you were in the bank, there were no red blips on the map showing where the robbers were! Gotta be extra careful and check everywhere then! Realistic

That is exactly the reason I chose to only add blips to the bank entrances and Captain Wells

Very nice! This mod looks great, can't wait for a release. Keep up the great work :)

Yeah it adds to the realism and it makes it so you need to be extra careful because there could be a robber around any corner you never know (;

Haha they are pretty great lol

I can't wait to try it out, it looks so good! You're doing a great job! May I give a suggestion? Don't know if it's already told or your planing to do it. But is it possible to ad a big crowd to the bank heist? Also news trucks and camera crews would be cool. The animations are there I think.

We considered this and decided against it because some computers wont be able to handle it and whats there is alot to load already.

Yeah, that's true. Didn't thought about that. It already needs to spawn a lot of peds and cars.  Would still be cool ;)

Yeah If theres a way we defiantly will implement it! Thank you for your suggestion and if you have anymore feel free to share it!

I will check to see if there may be some kind of possibility to add this in without impacting performance too much. As @CaptainSugarFree has said, thanks a lot for the idea!

Enable/disable crowds in the ini maybe? I'd imagine that's way too much effort to add, but just a thought lol.

 

@CG Blaze

Thats really funny Albo and I were just talking about that, we are currently looking at every option possible while making sure all computers can handle the load that is/will be put on them. As many of you know Grand Theft Auto is already a very demanding game and adding all these extra things into it can cause performance issues. We will obviously avoid that issue at all costs. 

Again we appreciate all of the support and suggestions and we are always accepting more, we are a community and we work together. That being said not everything can or will be added. All suggestions we receive are reviewed and then implemented if they should/can be. As said before we are still looking into other possibilities to add a crowd and other features without dropping performance. 

Once again I cant thank all of you enough for the support and suggestions we have received, we are looking forward to release and continuing this project together.

Albo is right.  I remember when Albo first started out here.  He had like under 10 reps and released his first ever Multiple Jailpoints, then prisoner teleport and now look at how far he has come for us.

By the way, I am really looking forward to the backup functionality Albo.   Would love to play as a secondary car sometimes.  Just adds some flavor.

Also, an idea that you could possibly implement as a random event is a road rage shooting or a fight, without ANY call out. Just something you run into you know.  I was up north near Blaine County in my doing my episodes and I ran into a couple of random events of someone with a gun and a police officer was pinned down.   I literally just heard the shots and came on it by accident so it turned into a shootout.   It felt really nice that it wasn't even a call out.

I cannot make any guarantees. I'll take a look it this is achievable code wise and release wise without causing too much grief for the rest of my code: lots of things currently are dependent on positioning. 

Thanks!

Good old days :p

I was thinking of adding something similar to traffic policer - hint hint!

Ya I can't wait for that bro.  I have had some random events occur very very rarely around me.  It makes me feel like part of the team to actually help the other officers and not have to be told to do so by dispatcher.   Can't wait for this. 

Randoms would be great.   Best one I have had so far was pulling up to a light.  Foot cop was waiting to cross the road and some guy ran up to him and started stabbing him.  Really gets your blood pressure up fast.

I love when I roll up on situations like that!
