Hello Everybody!
My name is Chris and as the title says this intro is about fifteen years late. I started playing LCPDFR wayy back when I was a mere sophomore in high school. Growing up with NBVideogamevids, BxBugs, and the classic RCMP clans as my late night video streams. Starting in 2011 I began creating gaming communities. Starting on TeamSpeak then eventually heading over to Discord. It all started in Liberty City where 13 year old me was running an incredible gaming community, what was known as Role Play Code 3. RPC3 transformed into Priority Role Play, where several hours of laughs took place for nearly five consecutive years.

Eventually we made the jump to FiveM and dabbled with that before the majority of my longtime friends grew into adulthood. I was no exception. In 2021, ten years after I discovered LCPDFR, I graduated the police academy. Since then I've been an officer in a small city in Georgia. I've recently been promoted and enjoy proactive policing.

Last year I traveled to London, to surprise my best friend. My best friend that I met playing LCPDFR back in 2011. He's now an Inspector for the London Met, enjoying his adulthood just as much as me. He is one of the dozens of friends I speak to regularly that have followed the same path. I've met up with some of these guys at Police Week in DC and often use them for insight.

This community has been a part of my life for over a decade, creating friendships that are genuinely closer than family. It will continue to be something I check in on every so often to appreciate where I came from. Hopefully someone will come across this post and find the same inspiration I did. I'll never forget the days of making my game as "realistic" as I could just to portray a real street cop; and now I am one. It's an incredible ride and worth the wait for those 13 year old versions of myself eagerly waiting.

Go into the lspdfr.ini and change the following to reflect below:

Well said @c13
 
I've been around since 2011. This was a problem then and it  always will be. Hopefully this will shed some more light on the obvious.
 
As much as I love looking at everyone's gallery posts that inspire me to launch my game, once I get in, I'm bored. It's the same thing over and over and over. I limit myself to the calls I take in game because they're truly boring as hell. My favorite call is a random callout pack where you respond to a domestic, arrive on scene, and both parties agree to leave the property. It's realistic, and it doesn't require 438 keybinds to get the job done.

Totally agree with this, I hope people take this as a guide and not an attack to new people trying to model or make scripts. Began modelling myself 4-5 months ago and I still haven't released a thing since I want to take time on my cars. I don't want to release something that's complete trash and I'm not happy with. It'd be nice to see more people taking this stance in taking pride in what they make. Thanks for starting this topic.

This is a bit of a rant, but I feel like it's something that needs to be said for anyone who uploads models or scripts.
 
I want to point out that our community guidelines encourage constructive criticism. This means comments on how to improve a vehicle or script, not hateful comments such as "this is shit." If you don't want comments that you think are mean (when they are really pointing out problems with it), then put effort into your uploads.
 
I asked a number of people from both sides of modding, and these are common issues listed:
 
Models:
-Big one: Complete lack of credits. More people worked on the parts used than just "you". All files should have every credit listed from the parts you used to create your content. That's even in the community guidelines.
-The credits section is included on the file page for a reason. It should be more than just "Included." It takes 5 seconds to copy and paste them.
-If you don't know who made something, find out or don't include that part. "Unknown" isn't acceptable.
-Stolen parts. If someone just gives you a part on discord with no credits and he isn't the original author, it's probably stolen.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE- It's not the job of the community to handle those issues, it's the job of moderators. If you see it, report it and move on to prevent drama
 
-Throwing a lightbar on a car and releasing.
-Way out of scale lights and other equipment, such as laptops, spotlights, etc
-No LODs, meaning the added parts disappear more than a few feet away from the car
-Lack of any additional equipment. Police cars have more than just a lightbar and pushbars. Partitions, weapons, center consoles, lighting control systems, laptops, etc. A vast majority of police cars have that and it ruins realism if a car only has lights.
-No VCF being included. Properly setup VCF's are needed for the ELS coronas to be the correct color at a distance.
-Miscolored textures. If a pushbar is green or purple, fix it.
-Clipping equipment. Nothing should be sticking through the windshield.
-Multiple radios and siren controllers. Those are extremely rare if ever used.
-Red and Blue DRL's. Not physically possible in real life.
-Super basic flash patterns that have no effort put into them.
-Calling it a real life agency when it looks nothing like it. If some one searches for that agency, they already have what they want in their mind. Putting "Fictional" in the title doesn't fix that.
 
 
Problems on scripts:
-The exact same stolen vehicle callouts across 50 files, and especially scripts that only contain those. Mainly when it is copied exactly from tutorials and the only difference is the type of car.
-People committing crimes while standing in the middle of the street.
-Outlandish events that never happen day to day, ie: Major shootouts, stolen monster trucks, tanks, emergency vehicles, etc. Even pursuits are fairly rare for most officers.
-Stolen code from others
-Callouts riddled with errors
-Unrealistic premises. For example, a mugging should be over in a few seconds and shouldn't be called in until after it's over. You shouldn't get the call, respond for 2 minutes and still find the suspect holding someone at gun point.
 
There's dozens of discords of talented people who would be happy to help. Don't be afraid to ask them. Modding is a learning process. You're not going to be good over night, it takes time and most importantly, you can always improve. Picasso didn't sell his first drawing he did in grade school, you should probably not release your first ever model or plugin either.
 
Mainly, take some time to objectively ask yourself if you would download it if you didn't make it or if you didn't have a bias towards that agency.
 
This leads me into the topic title. Just because "It's his first time" doesn't make some one immune to criticism. People should be encouraged to improve. I spent hundreds of hours on my first vehicle uploads. I sought the guidance of people with way more experience than me who I trusted. If some one points out issues to the car or script, they aren't a "hater". They aren't a "shithead who would struggle to put 2 match sticks together". They actually do care that some one can improve. I personally want to see as much quality stuff put into the downloads section as possible. But that means actually taking time on something, which is something very few people have been willing to do over the last year.

Here's mine:
 

This takes me back, haven't done much modding for a while

I have a suggestion to improve some game immersion and whatnot.
Whenever you call for backup in any situation, after the situation is deemed 'clear' the backup leaves. It'd be awesome if there was a script to keep the backup on scene a little longer. Even if they're just standing around so we can set a suspect next to them while we run their info, or get statements. Maybe eventually having a scene securement(is that a word?) add on for it. 
 
Just some food for thought. Happy Holidays

I'm gonna drive my car around, shoot people around the city, and quote various lines from LCPD cops. Then I can get LCPDFR shut down for inciting police impersonation.

Grand Theft Auto SA? What year is this?
 
The funny thing about our world is that we blame everything else but the actual problem, our parenting.  I've played video games my entire life.  Hell I remember being a young kid and playing Goldeneye 007 online with others.  Did I go out and start trying to shoot people in real life?  Did I go out and try to throw things from the car Mario Kart style?  Pathetic excuses of parents can blame video games all day long, but what it ultimately comes down to is the parents themselves.  Video games will only have influence on those whose thinking capability is already compromised.

At least when the world ends, we know what it'll be blamed on.

FOUND A FIX!
If you start experiencing unmanned vehicles follow these steps:
Open Ragehook Plugin menu F4 Type "Cleanworld true" then press Enter Wait for the effect to take place No more unmanned vehicles. Worked perfectly with me and it keeps all the plugins loaded so you won't need to load LSPDFR or any other plugin, just continue on with your patrol.

@STARTairsoft780 sure, it can be done with this mod. It takes some work though. But it works good when set up. I’ve got cars with different liveries set up to patrol around sandy shores/paleto/metro los santos. 
 

I thought you were going for accuracy. Probably 80% of departments use the glock (:

Can we please break down resources and assets to have a GTA IV and GTA V Section. It's very hard to find items compatible with V when there are still IV .z3d files being uploaded. I understand it says "IV" in the corner, but it would still be a lot easier if this was displayed prior to clicking the file itself, or in a different section entirely. 

If you are on version 1032, it's likely because scripthookv hasn't been updated yet, we all have that issue. If you're not on version 1032, I'm not sure.

YES THAT LEGACY! HELL YA!!!

Will make also an optional Sig P226 choice for holster
