So in case you weren't aware, we will be combining PolicingMDT with LSPDFR Computer+ to form one Super CAD!! (I'm assuming it'll still be called LSPDFR Computer+ though and not SuperComputer+ )

Thanks @Albo1125 for the help with the API!  I'm excited to see what we can do with it, and I'm also glad it's that easy to implement!

We'll be sure to keep you all updated and will be asking you all for help!  If you'd like in on this project, I personally don't mind - I'm not too sure about @PieRGud's opinion though!

Thanks everyone!

We're definitely going to open source the combined LSPDFR Computer+ as well. So anyone that wants to contribute, can.

Edit: Git is up by the way. Check it out!

It looks like a big project. Don't you guys think it would be reasonably to prepare some kind of specification? I think about 2 important things: 1) what we want to achieve, 2) what kind of data needs to be exchanged and how. For example:

Functional specification:

• Ability to get a new incident number from CAD (int GetNewUniqueID()) //also as LAPD roleplay thingy!
• Ability to add a new callout data to the queue when a callout is displayed by LSPDFR (AddNewCall(int ID, CalloutData callout))
• Ability to change callout status to ENR when player accepts the callout. (ChangeCallStatus(int ID, ECallStatus status))
• etc.

CalloutData specification:

• string FullName, AbbrevName, Description,
• string Adress,
• DateTime Received, Dispatched, Code4,
• EResponseType respType (Code 2, 3),
• ECallStatus status,
• etc.

Yeah, I'll be adding a bit of that sort of stuff to the Git project. 

Just an update - we currently have successfully combined the two modifications together.  Within Computer+ lies a reports area where the reports can be written and PoliceNotebook is a tool that will be packaged with the plugin.

I'm not sure on the API as I've been focusing on getting the two plugins to be fluid and fairly consistent (across text, sizes, etc).  I just wanted to let you know that we've got a functioning and stable single plugin!

Also, @AlconH will be assisting us with creating/maintaining a dedicated server to host the data from the MDT that will update in real time.  This project won't start for a few weeks, but I want to include that in the update as well!

I've started on the API namespace, and I took a copy of the ped database form, just to use it as a dummy callout form. I committed what I've got to the Git repo. I'm not done with the API classes yet, though. 

@AlconH, keep me posted on the server stuff. I can help with the database design. 

I've created a channel on Discord to discuss anything related to this project which we want to keep within developers.

PM me for access if you're a developer who is either working on this project, or involved in any planning or discussion. (Albo, I sent you a friend request on Discord) 

This all sounds amazing!

And I just released the first API-enabled version!

Dope, I'll try and get an update out soon, work is busy though because I do security in Orlando and we're on high alert

Yikes! Stay safe!

I have mutiple dedicated server nodes(like 5) since I also run a side vps hosting business and would like to donate vps's(resources) to this project.

as I see a lot of potential in this and would like to see it succeed also if you want sql server 2012 enterprise edition with sp3 too I have that license as well from my college dreamspark. which you could span across both the dedicated server already offered/my vps infrastructure to mirror the database/mdt system across both the dedicated server/my vps infrastructure to create like a HA/failover system that is globally distributed and redundant against failure.   

*HA means High Availability sorry if I didn't add that meaning in there. 

As I have nodes in different countries like here in the us, canada

Thanks for the offer. @AlconH is handling the web side of things, so I'll let him comment on that.

also, slightly related, I've been working on a "priors" system for federal callouts that I think would work well with this

basically if a suspect gets away (officer down or eludes in a pursuit), their persona's name has a running list of crimes committed that is persistent between game launches (or not, if the user decides) and there's a chance you'll see them on the streets again

it would mesh extremely well with this as the computer could display said priors, etc

(Some departments may use portable tablets, but personally, I think it should all be restricted to the car, but that's a discussion for another time)

It'd be nice if callouts could override this, I know you said it is for another time but I just wanted to add my $0.02 while I was thinking about it

at my store, when we're processing detained people and the police arrive they'll bring in their laptop and occasionally give us information

Its actually in the works for the future, haha. If you're interested in helping out let me know.

Not a dev, but would love to contribute to this project in some way. One of my job functions IRL is reproducing issues, looking at the code to see where it might be failing, and then submitting a bug for our devs to investigate further. It's sort of QA, but not really. 

If you guys think someone like this might be useful (or have something else for a non-coder), let me know!

Is this project still alive? Just a curious player wanting to add more immersion to his game :)

What do you mean by that? Computer+ has had an API for a long time now where callout developers can add callout information to the computer.

Yeah but it doesn't keep archives that you can then review. It's RP only, no real purpose.

Hi,

 

I just added a few improvements on Computer+ code in the github repository.

It's still under review by the owner, but I believe it will be released soon. Take care.
