I have already made a plate running mod see here:

I saw it. It's for sure nice for role playing, but for me this and FR database is a little too much. I still hope that guys from LCPD:FR will implement your code in their mod, it would be epic ;)

Thanks!

Looking forward to this Mod! I am shocked that this is possible.

Thanks for putting your time into this!

I spent few hours trying to attach a car to tow truck from TLaD. Without success. Problem is you can set offset only for one car. So we have "line" connected to back of tow truck and... centre of a car. You can imagine how bat it is. I've tried many many combinations of unknown variables, but it gave me nothing.

There is only one last chance to do it, but it is soooo long shot that I really really doubt it. Well, we still have flatbeds :) I've added EFLC support, so one point closer to beta release :)

Nice job! I like it! I can't wait for this. Good luck on the future of the mod!

Looks awesome! Id be happy with it the way it looks now, seems like everyone has something they want different though... Great job!

Ok, that's it. I surrender. There is now way to properly attach car to car with physics. Tried many many ways, but without success, so we have to deal with flatbeds. All methods have some major flaws, like: turn too rapidly with tow truck and towed car lands on roof. Enough is enough.

Now I need your help. As I want this mod to be as much "alive" as possible I need texts for Sandy, Josh (dispatchers) and driver. English is not my native language as you clearly spotted that before, so I need your input to make those people alive. Text can be dynamic, I mean thay can comment size, state (mint, damaged, burned), maybe price of a car. Also, dispatchers know name of street where they are going to send a truck. I still have to finish whole system, so I can fit there many things (still don't know which ones ;) ). Examples:

- Sandy here. Sending truck to <street>.

- Nice <car name> you got there. Let me take care of it.

etc etc

Can someone help me wit this?

Would be awesome, but making plate running outside FR, not connected to FR police database? Meh. Also FR for now doesn't have any API so interaction with it is very limited I think (got plans for other mods that will need it, so I'll find out in futire).

It was mostly wishful thinking for extra bits during the ticket function in FR, but not expecting your mod to include something like it.

Cool!

So you need some things for the Textdraw, Here's some examples of correct English sentences:

Received. We're sending a truck to your location, It'll be with you shortly.

*Laughing* Oh man, that is a complete shitheap you've got there, I'll take care of it.

I wouldn't be able to give you every single street name in LC however.

For car names, are you planning to say the manufactuer or just the model? I.E: Vapid Police Cruiser, Declasse Merit etc.

Don't worry about street names and car names. My script can handle those (except for some of car names, supergt and landstalker are null). I just need proper English sentences :) Thanks for these. I'll use them in final version. Beta might not have sentences generator as I now focus on some more important things like making tow truck more like tow truck not like KillerCarnageRammingMachine ;)

Anyone interested in first closed beta test? Tom H? Harper?

Looking only for experienced players. PM me if you want to take a look at TowingServices

I would love to, I'll PM you now. Thanks

Wow just Wow!!!

I just tested the beta-tester version, everything was perfect and simple... no issues at all!!! Good job Abraxas! :thumbsup:

I keep having a problem where the driver ask's if I'm stupid?.....

That means you have people in a car to tow off. Or we have a bug :D

If it's a bug tell me what car you are trying to tow.

Hum, after further testing, it seems the tow-mod and LCPD:FR have issues with each other. Running them separately everything is ok... requesting a flatbed during LCPD:FR crashes the towing script.

As I said in PM I've tested it with LCPD:FR. Can you replicate this? I mean is there any exact moment when script crashes or something. I need more data.

Forgot one thing: CTRL+X will crash script (it's a test function only, forgot to delete it)

Edited July 4, 201213 yr by Abraxas

As soon as you request a flatbed during LCPD:FR gameplay (error below).
