Why hasn't LSPDFR or ELS V had an update in such a long time?


Recommended Posts

I am in no way criticising the modders here, but why has LSPDFR not been updated since February last year? And why has ELS V not been updated since January as it clearly has bugs and issues needing resolved? Just curious because LCPDFR was updated at least twice a year back in the days of GTA IV, and ELS V has many more issues compared to ELS IV 8.0.

Because gtav is way more complex and isnt as easy to mod as gta4.. plus there is nothing wrong with the current version of LSPDFR and if u are having problems with it you should comment on the LSPDFR comment page or specify on here  what u feel needs to be updated.. As far as ELS goes you most likely installed something incorrectly... you need to be more specific about what the problem is instead of jus saying it has bugs.. dont take my post the wrong way.. jus answering your question in my opinion.

Yes LSPDFR is stable enough and functions fine, however more features should be added, just as LCPDFR did, and there has been no word from any of the team of LSPDFR about future updates or features being added. ELS V is stable too but has many bugs and issues that need addressing. My question is simply why the lack of updates for both of these mods?

Oh i see.. i thought u were having problems with the modifcations as far as functionality goes. My bad. Honestly i would imagine the people who created each one also play with them installed so it depends on their discretion and how they expect them to function and if they like it the way it is

I have no issues with either modifications but ELS in particular is quite desperately in need of an update due to its issues (mainly with the AI). Just strange how there has been nothing whatsoever from either modification authors about new features, updates etc.

I dont know if your havin the one of the problems i had but i had a problem when i would switch siren tones the ai would jus crash.. and i fixed that by disabling one of the siren tone options. Still have the same sirens enabled but there is 2 different options for the same sounding siren in each vehicles configuration file

But i do agree with u 100% and it would be nice to see each mod at its full potential which i know each of the modders are capable of doing.. sometimes i think they might even only give the updates to certian people or jus share them amongst themselves. Because they have the ability to make it however they want to but either choose not too or maybe another reason like financial.. im not too sure but i hope someone sheds some light on this topic because i am also curious as to what their reasons are

Actually, believe me or not, I once got curious to see if there was an update for LSPDFR, so I went the download page for LSPDFR and saw a download for LSPDFR 0.4 as a beta so I couldn't download it, but now I don't even see it anymore...

Here's more info on it, someone else apparently saw it too!

The 0.4 is for our beta team, LSPDFR is continuously being worked on and tested, Just because a new version has been released it doesn't mean we've given up. It takes time to implement features, especially when you have a small dev team that does it in their spare time. 

 

As for ELS. Well, that's up to the devs to update.

 

Both ELS and LSPDFR are at a stable stage where it doesn't need to be contstantly updated like their IV counterparts. Keep in mind you may think that the IV counterparts are more stable than V.. however it did take many years for it to get that far whereas ELS was released last year and LSPDFR was released in 2015. so they're fairly new mods. 

If you want to me reply as soon as possible, then either quote or @CouthInk4  me as i'll be notified, a general reply will not notify me

Interesting, maybe there will be an update soon then.

Okay thanks for the info. ELS is the one that needs an update, LSPDFR could do with one given the amount of time it's been since the last and new features should be added too.

As previously suggested, I suggest creating support threads if you are having specific issues.  Personally, I don't have any 'bugs' with either LSPDFR or ELS.  No need to update something that isn't broken.

As I previously mentioned, I don't have specific issues with either mods, but ELS does have bugs which need fixing by the developer. I was simply wondering why there is a lack of information regarding updates or new features.

It would be nice to know what those bugs are.  If you never clarify, no one will ever know or fix them.  Like I said, I don't notice any bugs with ELS and maybe the developer doesn't either.  You need to bring awareness if you want an update.

There's nowhere to post ELS support and Lt. Caine doesn't take much notice anyway. As quoted from my post in another topic, the bugs include;

> AI stuck using one siren tone and not changing it

> AI never uses air horn

> AI uses random patterns and ignores the one chosen in VCF

> AI sometimes not even using lights/siren at all, even though their on code 3 backup

> AI cars sometimes don't de-spawn

 Thanks.
