I got a real nice bcso vehicle pack addon  that I want to assign to an agency, however, I've read Sam's post about the custom agency how it can be done but I can't find a tutorial how to do it how do I make a bcso agency for lspdfr 0.4

 

Just let me know any particular area that could use some more explaining.

I want to make this pack the bcso(or blane county sheriffs office) agency. how would I go about that with every vehicle here included?

To my understanding, the point of the custom folder is simply so you do not have to edit the base files, and can easily return to vanilla LCPDFR 0.4.

That said, personally, I don't make use of it so I can't properly direct you on how it should be set up.

Few questions.

1) Have you added the vehicles in already as additional vehicles, or replaced existing vehicles.

2) Have you checked to ensure the vehicles have been added correctly (You can check this by loading the game, pressing F4, and typing spawn "modelname")

3) What are the names of these custom models in your game (e.g. "police" "police2" etc.), and which type of loadout do you want each vehicle to be associated to? (I.E. Patrol/Transport/Swat)

4) Are you adding a new agency altogether, or replacing the existing LSSD

5) What Ped. Model are you using for the new agency (eg. "s_m_y_cop_01")

6) Do you wish to have the ped. model's forced to use specific components

 

If you havn't even added the vehicles in just yet, get that part finished, and then we can move on to having them spawn.

1. addon vehicles

2. yes I have yet to try to spawn them but I will in a moment.

3. https://gyazo.com/a532bbefb2d4e6cf8ecb8ff70711b5bd    (let me know if the link is bad)

4. I want to add BCSO as its own separate agency and will function and operate out of blane county the lssd will function in LS as the name implies.

5. I don't know yet so far the first thing I want to try is putting in the cars then work on the peds.

6. again I don't know...

Step 1: Add the following to your Agency.xml, right after <Agencies> will work fine. Double check the bolded lines (Your vehicle models)

            </Peds>
            <NumPeds min="1" max="2" />
            <Flags>
                <Flag>RespondsAsTransport</Flag> <!-- Makes the unit eligible to be called for prisoner transport.  Only use this if there will be free seats for prisoners. -->

            </Flags>
        </Loadout>
    </Agency>

 

 

Step 2: Next, edit the stations .xml. All of the BCSO stations are currently LSSD controlled, so do a search for any station with "<Agency>lssd</Agency>", and replace "lssd" with "bcso" for any location you wish the BCSO vehicles and people to spawn immediately outside of (Note: They will not be patrolling at this step, however it's extremely useful for step 3)

 

Step 3: Load the game, make sure nothing blows up, and go to one of the stations you changed in step 2, to check if things are spawning their correctly. This step should eliminate step 1 or 2 as being the source of an issue, if things blow up later.

 

Step 4: Edit dutyselection.xml, and add the line "<Agency>bcso</Agency>" between the <Vehicles></vehicles> tags. This will make the vehicles selectable from the garage.

        <Agency>noose</Agency>
        <Agency>fib</Agency>
        <Agency>sapr</Agency>
    </Vehicles>

 

Step 5: Edit the Regions.xml

 

Blaine County is already set-up as a distinct region in lspdfr 0.4, so all you need to do, is under local patrol, edit <BlaineCounty><Agency>lssd</Agency></BlaineCounty> to read <BlaineCounty><Agency>bcso</Agency></BlaineCounty>

<BackupUnits>

            <Agency>lssd</Agency>

        <MountChiliad>
            <Agency>sapr</Agency>
        </MountChiliad>
    </LocalPatrol>

 

 

Now your agency will ambiently spawn in the designated location, and respond as local backup from the back-up menu.

 

 

If you want to get into what edits need to be done for an air unit, or a swat child agency, just let me know. You can also give me a heads up once you figure out the cop models needed, for their relevant edits.

 

 

For the actual cop models themselves, a good source would be to install RDE (Make a copy of your GTAV folder first, RDE has an auto-installer which will destroy your game at the moment, as it is very outdated), extract the bcso cop models from that mod, and then insert them into your copy of GTA.

Yes. Remove it from the list provided above for the agency.xml.

 

Then, add the below, anywhere after <agencies>, as long as it is not inbetween any existing <agency></agency> tags (Including the custom one we added for bcso)

<Agency>
        <Name>BCSO Air Support Unit</Name>
        <ShortName>BCSO</ShortName>
        <ScriptName>bcso_asu</ScriptName>
        <Parent>bcso</Parent>
        <Inventory>default</Inventory>
        <Loadout>
            <Name>Air Unit</Name>
            <Vehicles>
                <Vehicle livery="1">sheriffvalk</Vehicle>
            </Vehicles>
            <Peds>
                <Ped comp_accs="1" comp_decl="0" helmet="true">s_m_y_pilot_01</Ped>
            </Peds>
            <NumPeds min="2" max="2" />
            <Flags>
                <Flag>RespondsAsBackup</Flag>    <!-- Makes the unit eligible to be called as either Code 2, Code 3 or Pursuit backup. -->
            </Flags>
        </Loadout>
    </Agency>

 

 

This adds the air support unit in as a child agency of the BCSO. Swat is handled the same way.

 

Next, edit the backup.xml, and change <BlaineCounty><Agency>lssd_asu</Agency></BlaineCounty> to <BlaineCounty><Agency>bcso_asu</Agency></BlaineCounty>

 

As an example of what it should look like:

 

Quote

<LocalAir>
        <LosSantosCity>
            <Agency>lspd_asu</Agency>
        </LosSantosCity>
        <LosSantosCounty>
            <Agency>lspd_asu</Agency>
        </LosSantosCounty>
        <BlaineCounty>
            <Agency>bcso_asu</Agency>
        </BlaineCounty>
        <NorthYankton>
            <Agency>lspd_asu</Agency>
        </NorthYankton>
    </LocalAir>

 

Done! Spawn in, start a pursuit in Blaine County, and call for local air support to check your work.

 

If the helicopter spawns, but the skin is all funky, livery="1" is the offending line, in our custom Agency.xml lines.
