Hello officers, players, whatevers (for the rhyme),

I'm kinda new on the LSPDFR dev scene (just started my first callout at the start of the week), and I'm really wanting to help this great community so that we may have even better plugins/callouts in the future. 

Also, please bear with my english, I'm not a native speaker. 

 

Common issue
Many of us feel the need to incorporate audio files to improve the immersion of the player (Police Scanner, if you hear me ). I, myself, have that need.
Now, as you may already know, there is a TON of sounds in the GTA game files, and those are poorly named (0x651095260 and so on). 

 

My contribution
So, instead of all devs spending tons of hours searching for the right sound, which might be already used by other plugins without them to know (hence wasting a lot of time for the dev, and crunching his motivation sometimes), I wanted to regroup our efforts by maintaining a... drum roll... POLICE_SCANNER Dictionary! (Yay!)

 

The concept
Very. Simple.
I've copied/pasted all .awc names from the police_scanner package in Google Sheets. For each .awc file, you have one or more .wav file(s). Next to it, you'll find the actual sound, and a comment if needed.
I've already started to populate some cells, but I clearly can't do this alone, as there is a huge amount of files there.

 

We need you!
If you want to participate to the war effort, here's the link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dl24MmNmgqw6mDlCDtI7_k5WwUR7oot-H0g4bOYY9hI/edit?usp=sharing

Everybody should have access to modify it. If not, tell me, I'll see what I can do (first time creating a Google Sheet)

 

Last words
Make us proud! 

 

Cheers!

Nice idea, this should really help out a ton.

I actually already started a project like this. 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I4HD0pMUNj-XihEssqMoSSWxEEu-Oa5mTlL8XzMHv9E/edit?usp=sharing

Perhaps we can combine efforts here? My spreadsheet is set up a bit differently; it has a tracking tab to keep track of who helped contribute and to know which directories are already being worked on so effort isn't duplicated.

Of course, we can!

I didn't think of adding a tracking tab since google already shows you where people are "working" on the sheet, but it's a nice feature to have an history of who participated. Maybe there's a way to do it automatically? (I am VERY lazy, so the less I have to do for a set task, the better I feel )

I prefer my layout though, if you don't mind  (at least a more color-oriented theme)

This is a great idea. I was bored tonight and got through the weapons and clothing files.

@libertoAre you still working on the list?

Not personally since I'm not playing LSPDFR that much anymore these days.
But feel free to continue the project :)

I will finish it. Have a full list of the audio files.

 

[Edit]

List is now "complete".

For some audio files i could not figure out the actual sound. Those are marked with a ?.
