Don't know if it's a bug, but I can't get custom skins to work. It's still the LCPD background

Hmmm. It should work fine. Is it PNG file in proper directory ?

sick! we have a lot of stuff to look forward to in next few months

You have no idea how much I am excited working on this :) I have a lot of fork tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I will be able to make some teaser video of new things. Believe me, Liberty City is getting more dangerous city every day. Tonight I saw guy who run into Grotti dealership, broke into Turismo and run away through window :D And don't get me started on drunk drivers...

So you are working on a more active crime script? That sounds amazing! If you need any help on crime ideas or testing let me know, I would love to help!

Testing: no, I have enough testers for now. Ideas: ALWAYS WELCOME. I have many ideas but I'd be glad to get.even more.

I also offer to help test your scripts Abraxas.

I put it in the policehelper folder and renamed it skin.png

Make sure it's not skin.png.png. Can you post a screenshot of the folder?

Don't have anything to make a screenshot, but it's named skin.png and I put it in the vdH_PoliceHelper file (which currently just contains the background I'm trying to put in, the "how to set custom skin" notepad file, the skin template file and the state trooper thing.

Do you have that vdH_PoliceHelper directory in your main GTA directory or in scripts directory? (it should be in scripts)

Calls of car prowlers at night would be great, guys scoping out cars for robberies. Robbery in progress at gas stations, medics requesting PD on a medical call, street racing vehicles, verbal arguments, actual shop lifting calls you can respond to, hit and run car accidents. Just a few ideas

I'd be nice if they could be set as targets like FR does with peds during pursuits so the AI cops would help out. That's the annoying thing about some of the companion mods that add new events.

Ok I have to clarify few things. Because there is no API in LCPD:FR I can't force pursuit. LCPD:FR has no idea that my script is creating crime, and my script can't check things like if there is active pullover, invoke pursuit or tell cops that this guy is wanted etc. 

 

I've made many workaround so I am able to make some cool thing, but for example bank robbery is impossible. I mean it is possible but without all backup features from LCPD:FR so it's pointless.

 

Car theft is planned. It will work like bait car, so instead of instant pursuit without backup features, LCPD:FR will decide if he will be running away or not. Also there will be call that will require to look around for stolen car (will be marked by blip only when near simulating that you read license plate).

Guys scoping out cars for robberies - without ability to force LCPD:FR pursuit it's pointless

Robbery in progress at gas stations without a car, possible

Medics requesting PD on a medical call - possible, but can anyone provide some examples of such scenario?

Street racing vehicles - may be hard, but I'll look at it for sure

Verbal arguments - this one is cool, but for now I can't imagine how would it be supposed to work

Actual shop lifting calls you can respond to - possible

Hit and run car accidents - if made like that car theft call: possible

 

There may be some situations when other cops will ignore suspects or will be too trigger happy, but I think it won't be a big issue. Also as you may know, the API for LCPD:FR is under development so some day every call will be possible :)

 

I will post video preview of new features tonight with some short patrol and hopefully some world event will happen ;)

Don't have anything to make a screenshot, but it's named skin.png and I put it in the vdH_PoliceHelper file (which currently just contains the background I'm trying to put in, the "how to set custom skin" notepad file, the skin template file and the state trooper thing.

 

Try renaming it to "skin" (without .png) instead.

It's working! Thank you for the help!

Looking very cool as per usual Abraxas. Just one q, will there be a breathtest function included with the next version to support the drunk driver scenario? 

The pickpocket/larceny one is really great by the way.
