Is there any way to get peds to spawn with random props? There's an option in backup.xml (RandomizeProps="True") but that doesn't work in CustomBackup.xml.

Not at the moment, sorry.

Mine is working just fine. I'm running on the latest everything. Can you provide a crash log?

Glad you got it working!

It would be nice if backup during a traffic stop always spawned on the road behind you. I hate when my backup blocks traffic going the opposite direction or comes into oncomming lanes...

@PNWParksFan  I know you can customize what weapons they spawn with, but is there a way to customize the attachments on those weapons?  Can I have patrol officers spawn with lights on their pistol or SWAT with scopes, supressors and lights, etc?

Not at the moment. Maybe someday.

It uses the custom backup entries to decide what unit to send, not the arrest manager settings. If you want to use the vehicles as defined in arrest manager, then just press 8.

I'm aware, however with the following CustomBackup.xml I still see "local patrol" and all that on the main menu:

 

Spoiler

<!-- 

	For the default menu entries like LocalPatrol, NooseAir, etc. you can set
	mainmenu="false" to put that entry on the "additional options" backup menu. 
	By default, all of the regular backup types will be on the main menu if you 
	don't specify the mainmenu attribute. 
	
	To add custom entries to the menu, scroll down towards the end of the file, 
	and look for <CustomMenuEntries>. 

-->
<CustomBackup>
 	<NooseAir mainmenu="false"></NooseAir>
	<LocalAir mainmenu="false"></LocalAir>
	<LocalPatrol mainmenu="false"></LocalPatrol>

	<StatePatrol mainmenu="false"></StatePatrol>
	<NooseSWAT mainmenu="false"></NooseSWAT>
	<Ambulance mainmenu="false"></Ambulance>
	<CustomMenuEntries>
		<!-- 
	To add a custom menu entry, it must follow the format shown below and have
	all of the attributes specified: 
		name: the name which shows up on the menu for this option. must be unique. 
		default_type: what internal type of backup this is. must be one of
			LocalPatrol, StatePatrol, NooseSWAT, LocalSWAT, LocalAir, NooseAir
		code2: true/false, whether this entry should be enabled for code 2 backup
		code3: true/false, whether this entry should be enabled for code 3 backup
		pursuit: true/false, whether this entry should be enabled for pursuit backup
		mainmenu: if true, the custom entry will go on the main menu. if false, it will
			go on the "additional options" menu. 
			
	Inside the <MenuEntry> tags, you can put in however many <BackupRegion> entries you 
	want, following the same format as described for the rest of this file.

Explanation: Honestly, I don't know what's wrong. I've looked over all of the files three times and I can't find what's wrong. I have the proper parkstools.dll and custombackup.dll. Also, Better EMS works like a charm so it's not any files that would be shared between the two.

You 110% sure you're using the latest release of custom backup?

I re-downloaded it simply to make sure that wasn't the issue, yes.

Put in the default CustomBackup.xml file. It looks like yours has some errors, I'm seeing a bunch of XML errors in your RPH log.

I put it through the XML validator. Could it be CB Specific errors?

XML validator only tells you if it's valid XML. It doesn't tell you if it's XML in the format that Custom Backup expects. 

Try with the default XML file. If that works, the problem is in your XML file.

Will do.

It is indeed an issue with the XML file. I used the default one and it worked fine

I'm having a problem with the custombackup mod. When I call backup they stay for a while then leave soon afterwards, even if I put in the ini file  dismiss=0 and dismiss distance 300

I've rewritten the xml file over 4 times and I can't find what's wrong. I even used notepad++ to compare it to the default xml file... No luck...

 

If someone was willing to take some time and help me by looking over the xml file, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

 

I figured out the issue and now it works fine. After doing some digging I discovered that I was using a ped model that didn't exist. I accidentally put '04' instead of '03'

 

My stupid mistake. Thanks for an amazing mod!
