I will update my modifications soon to make blips adhere to most of the guidelines.

In some cases though, like on the ANPR callouts, I prefer to have my routes red to indicate the severity of the case - I'll be keeping that as it is.

For new stuff, though, I'll try to keep the colours in mind.

I like the initiative! The encouragement for authors to work together to make their stuff less confusing is a great one 

If I'm honest, I think it would fall under red anyway since it's something that requires immediate attention of the officer, so it's no worries anyway.

In the next version of Unlimited Callouts  (v1.5) I will be implementing the blip colors and sizes by these guidelines :)

Suggestion:

 

Evidence {BlipSize = 0.5; BlipColor = dark green}

EvidenceSearchArea {Color = dark green; BlipAlpha=50}

 

Hints for missions/callout aka what player should do as {Game.DisplayHelp("~p~Hint: ~w~Search area fo evidence"); }

Okay, so following onto my previous thread, I, along with the other devs on LSPDFR are going to create a standardised list of colors for use on blips and routes in LSPDFR API development.

Devs, if you have a scenario that isn't covered by the list, please post below and I'll add it in. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please also post.

 

GPS BLIPS AND RADAR COLOURS

---

BLIP SIZES
Blips sizing should be as follows:

• Vehicles: 1.0
• Peds: 0.75

PEDS + VEHICLE BLIPS

ZONES

Primary search areas (prior to accepting a callout) (Drawing.Color.Yellow)

ROUTES
All routes should be Yellow (Drawing.Color.Yellow)

---

NOTIFICATIONS, HELP PROMPTS AND SUBTITLES

• Ensure that all blips are the same colour as they are when highlighted in any on screen text. For example, suspects are red, and should be highlighted in text as red too.
• Minimal colour should be used within on-screen text. Color should only be used to highlight key information or to highlight the colour of a particular person or object on the map. Examples:

  Reveal hidden contents

"Dispatch any units available for...?"
"Paramedics We're on route standby!"
"Tow Truck We're nearby. Hold on."
"A Representative from the Insurance Company is on the way."

• Exactly the same should apply to subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Use color to only highlight the key information.

---

As plugins get updated to follow the above, we'll have a much more immersive plugin system that doesn't have strangely mismatched colours.

Would license plate numbers, vehicle colors, and vehicle model names be ~p~ or something else?

// Assault Suspects, MVA Vehicles, Suicidal Subjects || Drawing.Color.Red || ~r~
// Police Officers || Drawing.Color.LightBlue || ~b~
// Paramedics and Support || Drawing.Color.Lime || ~g~
// Civilians || Drawing.Color.Orange || ~o~
// Unknown Subjects || Drawing.Color.Yellow || ~y~
// Other Items, Animals, Fallen Trees, Rocks || Drawing.Color.Purple || ~p~

Post at bottom of your Main.cs I also put my links there. (ped, vehicle names, etc.)

Is this standard still being used by the LSPDFR Plugin developers?

I would say no. Most likely because this post never made it to sticky
