@LMS @Sam First off I don't want to sound like an insatiable bastard so let me preface by saying that you guys did an ASTOUNDINGLY AWESOME job creating 0.4! I am a software developer myself and I know the huge amount of work that must be put into designing and implementing this. However if you are looking for ideas here's a few that I felt could be a good addition/improvement to the current system. (Apologies if any of them are already implemented!)

 

• AmbientSpawn livery issue. I created this topic, but TL;DR - it seems like there is a bug where ambient spawn vehicles do not always use the livery designated in agency.xml. Full details in the linked topic. Let me know if I can help reproducing this issue!

 

• Police-related spawn scenarios. For these, I wish the scenarios are consistent with the character's agency. For example, I have a BCSO deputy but he can spawn in front of a LAPD station or in a CHP cruiser, which breaks immersion. It'll be better if the system can utilize Agency and Station data so that the character is always spawned in the station or the vehicle that corresponds to their agency (if defined).
  
  As a nice to have, it'll be rocking if the game can recognize the regions of the character's agency during this process and only spawn the character into their jurisdiction (except for the apartment/police station scenarios, ofc). I know it's hard to make it perfect but adding a few more scenarios that are scattered in different areas, and filtering those when picking a spawn event should be a good starting point and cover the majority of player's needs.
  
  An alternative approach is to have an additional "Go to Nearest Police Station of My Agency" action in the LSPDFR pause menu so player can quickly go to their jurisdiction if spawned in a wrong area (assuming the station is within it's jurisdiction - but that's the player's responsibility to ensure that :)

 

• Randomizing starting character. Currently when you start the game it will always load the last played character. I think it's a good idea to add an option to randomly choose a character so I don't have to make the (tough) decision of which agency to role-play with every time. (yes, indecisiveness!)

 

• Non-pursuit backup units. When I call in a code 2/3 backup unit I wish they could participate in what I'm doing, instead of just standing there looking at me. For example if I am pulling a vehicle over and ordering a driver out with gunpoint, they should also point their gun at the suspect. This helps with immersion in cases where I like to execute a felony stop (such as for a stolen vehicle or felony warrant).

 

• Default vehicle. This is a minor one, but it'll be great if game can memorize the livery/extras of the default vehicle of a character, instead of only spawning with the first livery and random extras.

 

• Police garage. Again, super minor but I wish when cycling through the vehicles in a police garage it can automatically select the livery associated with the current agency instead of using a random livery.

 

Hopefully these ideas are not too crazy 😉 -- thanks!

Could you please elaborate on this? Your personal vehicle at your apartment should "remember" all these things.

It does not seem to remember the livery, for instance I spawned a police car with livery 2 and saved it, but the next time the game is loaded, it's the same model but with livery 1. I have tried a number of cars but regardless which livery I saved them with, it always spawns with livery 1 on subsequent loads.

Okay thanks, I will have a look.
