Hi,

 

I'm writing this just wanting to know your opinion about my plan.

 

I have been using Computer+ plugin by @PieRGud and enjoying it very much.

But there are still some improvements that could be made.

 

 

It's very fortunate that @PieRGud is very generous to share the C+ source code on Github.

So, I decided to fork it and made some improvement on it.

 

Here is the the list of those improvements:

• replace SQLite with LiteDB to make it more lightweight and stable
• previous arrest report & citation will be displayed when viewing ped/vehicle info (without crashing)
• generate random past traffic citations & arrest reports for ped to improve gameplay
• reactivated traffic citation history
• reactivated arrest report history
• reactivated most recent action list on main window
• added wanted reason info when ped is wanted
• added driver license expiration days info (random)
• made ped & vehicle persistent during C+ session to avoid crashes (they will be freed when Computer+ exit)
• saving newly created arrest report or citation will also close the window for better UX
• vehicle type will be showed correctly when viewing the citation history records
• fixed "give ticket" animation. now the ticket should disappear in the right time
• fixed incorrect time data source on arrest report view
• added various checking and handling to prevent potential crashes.

 

I'm very excited to make those improvements and I have pushed my codes to the main C+ repository, but it seems the author is very busy and it's still pending merge and release.

 

I'm just wondering. Can I just release my improvement by following the license guideance on Computer+ source code?

Based the C+ repository license page, the license is GNU v3, https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v3-(gpl-3)

 

So, according to that license, I might distribute any modifications on Computer+, as long as I follow the license guidance. (CMIIW)

 

But, I'm still in doubt whether to do it or not. I would like to know your opinion regarding this matter.

 

BR.

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

Basically I just need a feedback from the LSPDFR community, whether I may release it or not, based on the original Computer+ license on the github repo https://github.com/PieRGud/ComputerPlus

 

FYI. Those improvements have been done and ready to be released.

I would love to see this. It needs to be updated kindly badly with more features and improvements (like the ones above)

Yes, under GNU GPL-3, you may modify and distribute provided as long as you track changes/dates in source files. Any modifications to or software including (via compiler) GPL-licensed code must also be made available under the GPL along with build & install instructions.

 

I'd also check with the initial author out of courtesy, but given they've chosen this license they shouldn't have an issue.

Thanks for your feedback.

I've sent courtesy message to @PieRGud yesterday. Let's wait.

 

Our policy is a bit more restrictive than the GPL, in that, in general, we require approval from the original author if the code is substantially based on another's project for it to be posted on LCPDFR.com. (See the LSRD drama)

Hi Cyan,

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely wait for the author's response.

That's the main reason why I asked for feedback by using this thread in the first place.

I would love to see this updated and not crash as well. I am hoping you’re able to work with Pie and release it.

Hi, please go grab it. All the improvements have been released on the latest Computer+ (v 1.3.6.0)

That's inevitable. You might want to read the explanation here:

 

Yeah it mostly has to do with the searching Peds and vehicles. Might be the history thing. I’m definitely going to test it. Let me know if I can help with testing and what not. I am getting into LSPDFR big time and would love to help anyway I can. 

 

Im just glad it’s more stable than LCPDFR
