What is the coast gaurd office?

@Mbarnwell

In the latest beta update I added blips for the various coast guard locations around the map. The LS Station is the one you've seen in many videos near the marina in downtown Los Santos.

Thiiiiis is probably one of the most gameplay-changing mods I've seen so far. Good luck to you and clear head in all your endeavors, this is a formidable and impressive piece of work.

 

I do love how this forum unites so many talented people from so many places. From coders to artists to modellers, on lcpdfr.com we have the best from all over the world working together.

Looking forward to this, Good luck and thank you for pursuing it.

Are you going to make the Coast Gaurd destroyer?

The coast guard doesn't operate any "destroyers", but we are working on a cutter. You can see some screenshots in previous pages of this thread.

Thank You

I think the USCG operating a destroyer would be rather entertaining lol. "Turn off you engines!" to some drunk driver with a 5"/38 pointed at you lol.

Actually the USCG used the 5"/38 for years, sometimes even the twin variant.

Idea.  I'm not sure If these will be implemented but here they are

1. Needing to Tow a stranded boat

2. Needing to seize a vessel and you find drugs or weapons or nothing

3. Needing to raid a vessel - Need a big boat and you and a small team inserted by Helicopter or Boat and you search it and you need to open containers or blow doors open.

4. Take down an Unauthorized Aircraft or search for the wreck site.

5. Random event - Flares from a boat activated and its stranded - Someone drowning off shore - boat crash.

Sorry for the lack of recent updates! I've been quite busy with work, so development progress has been a bit slower. But I did finally get time to push a new beta update with some new features: 

• Boat patient dropoff works now. Locations are configurable in an INI file. Patients dropped off at a dock will get picked up by an ambulance and taken away. 
• Station Paleto Bay is mostly complete now, with the addition of paint markings, parking lot lighting, and other details. 
• In anticipation of the eventual EUP 7.5 update which will include some USCG uniforms, I created some new coastal EUP outfits including a better helicopter crewmember and a better rescue swimmer. 

 

What I'll be working on developing next:

• SkylineGTRFreak has made some progress on the 45' Response Boat Medium model, and I'll be working soon on adding lights and tweaking the handling line. It looks like we might actually be able to get this one working with a mounted gun that the player can actually use! Still working on that though. 
• I'm creating a full customization system for all the vehicles and peds used, so you'll be able to choose what coastal-related agencies will be in your game, what vehicles they'll use, and what types of incidents they can respond to. This will make customization for non-US players possible, and will also allow more flexibility and customization for US players. This change is in very early stages right now, but is my next major feature plan. 
• After that I'm planning to work on creating a "copilot" type AI for boat units, so you'll be able to have a team on your boat to help you out. Then from there, working on more actual callout content! 

Hopefully that helps to give folks an idea of what I've been working on and the upcoming developments to expect. I still don't have a release date, but am getting closer with every update!

This is going to be amazing, you really have some good mods. This is going to open up a entire area of experience for everyone. Atleast you wont have to wait for extended approval time.

You don't stop amazing me!

I am going to take so many screenshots when it's released. They will be my wallpaper!

Saw a lifeboat in a GTA YouTube video that could be used in costal callouts

You got a link? Looks like someone converted the lifeboat prop to a usable vehicle - something I've been wanting to do, but I guess they beat me to it!

 

EDIT: I searched the video. It looks like they just spawned the static prop. They just took the screenshot from an angle that hid the crane part attached to it. So back to square one haha.

Yea saw that too

Beta participants voted last week to have me spend some time working on the 45' Response Boat Medium model. Still a lot of work to be done, especially on the interior, but here are a few screenshots to share of the progress. Major thanks to @SkylineGTRFreak, as he has done most of the hard work on this model. The mounted gun is now working, and can be used by AI peds or the player. We have working emergency lights as well. Still need to complete the interior, fine-tune the handling, create a custom layout, add other lights, and other details. Lots of work left to do, but I'm happy with the progress so far!

Awesome! Can't wait for it to be done!

Great Work! Like everyone else looking forward to the progress
