Hello everyone,
I just want to say thank you for sticking with us through the biggest site update we’ve ever rolled out. Last year’s launch didn’t go as smoothly as we’d hoped and we know there have been some issues along the way, so we really appreciate your patience and feedback. It’s helped us get to a much stronger place moving forward.
Now that things have stabilised a bit, today we’re launching a bunch of new features and changes that we think you’re going to love.
Discovery: Tag Filters
The whole point of our tag system has always been discovery. You’ve been able to click into tags and explore everything connected to them, but proper filtering on category pages was missing.
That’s now changed.
You can now explore and filter by tags directly on category pages, with the system built to expand much further over time.
To start, we’ve added brand, country, and year filters to vehicle pages, along with a “Made with AI” filter on script pages.
You can now filter by Brand, Country and Year on Vehicle pages.
A small change on the surface, but a big step toward making discovery faster, cleaner, and far more useful across the platform.
Discovery: Site Wide Tag Exclusions
To give you even more control over what you see on LCPDFR.com, we’re introducing account-level, site-wide tag exclusions.
Any files matching the tags you choose to exclude will be hidden across the site — including the downloads portal, download feeds, trending and featured sections, and search results.
The tag filtering controls, now available in Account Settings. In this example, files tagged as outdated are being hidden.
The downloads category page, showing 1 active account tag filter and 34 files hidden as a result of excluding the outdated tag.
Whether you want to hide AI-generated work, certain vehicle types, specific countries, or even particular vehicle years, we hope this system helps you fully customize how you browse content on LCPDFR.com.
Note: We're aware of an issue of going to Account Settings, then navigating to Downloads Filters will not load the tag box correctly and we're working to fix it. Refreshing the page if the tag box doesn't load will workaround this for now.
Site Experience: Thanking Creators
As a thank you to our creators and contributors, we’ll be removing external advertisements for community members who are actively engaging with the community.
The exact criteria may evolve over time, as our community contributes in many different ways. Whether you're helping new members with questions, uploading mods, or simply being an active part of the site, we want to recognize and reward those contributions.
For creators who share their mods with the LCPDFR.com community, ads will be removed once you reach 1,000 verified unique downloads.
For all other members, ads will be removed once you achieve the Sergeant rank (1,000 community points). Our rank system awards points for a variety of community activity, including forum posts, gallery uploads, comments and reviews (+1), giving or receiving reputation (+1), gaining followers (+2), and more.
This change is going live today, though it may take some time after reaching the requirements for the benefit to be applied to your account. Logging in and out if you meet the criteria may help this apply sooner. We also plan to add a way for members to track their progress toward these thresholds in the future.
This is one small way we can give back to the creators and community members who help make the site what it is.
Developer: API
Our old API has started to show its age and wasn’t really built with the growth of the website in mind.
Historically, we’ve had to handle security on LCPDFR.com in some fairly unique ways. While we want to discourage automated traffic, serving an API directly from our main website domain meant we also had to keep certain protections less aggressive than we would’ve liked.
The API has been moved onto its own dedicated infrastructure, allowing us to properly monitor usage, apply separate security procedures, and relax some of the harsher caching behaviour that existed previously.
We’ve also adopted the more standard approach of enforcing API keys across the new API. This allows us to better track usage, apply limits where necessary, and manage access more effectively. API keys are issued in line with our new API Guidelines, which outline acceptable usage and restrictions around commercial use.
There are currently two key types available:
Version Check Keys — designed for embedding into your own plugins, primarily for update and version checking.
Full API Keys — provide broader access to the API, including mass file listings, extended file metadata (such as tags), .NET assembly data, and more.
Full API keys require approval. We may contact you with questions about your intended usage. Both full and limited API keys require an active LCPDFR.com account that has been active for at least one week.
You can request API keys in your Account Settings.
You can see usage limits, documentation and regenerate your key from Account Settings.
With the new downloads listing API, you can list up to 10,000 files at once. Full documentation available in Account Settings with an issued key.
Overall, this new API infrastructure gives us a far more scalable and maintainable foundation moving forward. Separating the API from the main website allows us to improve security, reliability, and performance without impacting the experience of regular community members on LCPDFR.com.
We’ll be deprecating the old API in stages.
Effective today, the old version check API endpoint (checkForUpdates) will no longer be available for newly submitted files. All remaining endpoints, apart from checkForUpdates, will be turned off on 1 June.
We understand that deprecating checkForUpdates may cause issues for some plugins. We plan to phase this out later this year in stages and with planned brownouts and will share more details in the API forum closer to the time.
We’re not stopping there, either.
While these updates are a big step forward for discovery, customization, and the overall site experience, we already know where we want to focus next, on search.
The truth is, we’ve largely outgrown the search system our current software provides. It was never really built for our mod heavy platform with this much content, this many tags, and the kind of discovery features we now want to support properly.
Because of that, search is probably going to involve a lot more custom work from us moving forward. Better relevance, smarter filtering with the new options announced above, and a generally cleaner experience are all things we want to improve over time.
As always, we do appreciate your feedback. We try to guide LCPDFR.com based on what the community wants, alongside the areas where we feel we can improve and do better ourselves.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone use these new features, and we’re excited to keep improving the platform alongside the community that makes it what it is.
Cyan.

Virzza got a reaction from Captain Peanut in Common Police FontsHi I thought maybe we could start a thread where people could post pictures of Law Enforcement vehicles and include what the main font is called. I feel as if this would help a lot of people that create skins for cars.
Example:
Here is the New York Police Departments Crown Victoria and the main font is Rockwell Extra Bold and the CPR font is Freshman.

Virzza got a reaction from OfficerSquare in Check out ELS for V!@GravelRoadCop I wish people would just be patient and enjoy the mod when it gets here. Some people are acting like they paid for it and it is late. It's sad to be honest. I am so greatful that Lt. Caine and the rest of the group is developing this modification! Thank you guys so much!

It's a shame that a joke cannot be taken in, simply enjoyed. Quite a shame.

Virzza reacted to Fiskey111 in Notification Issue?Hello Cyan!
I wanted to check to see if the notification issue was just on my end or if it's a server thing. I've tried deleting my cache and whatnot, however that didn't help.
Basically my notifications are showing (and updating, too) in the top right. However, when I click on them it simply brings an infinite loop and doesn't show me the notifications. In addition, when I press "View all notifications" it shows this error:
I haven't seen anyone else say there is an issue yet, so I wanted to check!
Thank you!

Virzza got a reaction from Starmix in LSPDFR Scripts & Plugins Not LoadingSo the problem is that Albo included a couple outdated files in Arrest Manager. Update Traffic Policer then everything should be fine

Virzza reacted to Hystery in I need help with light color on police carsHi there!
Have you ever noticed this thing?
It's called a Search bar. The search bar is very useful, and is also a very important tool on forums! It allows you to type keywords and find stuff related to what you typed. For example, if I type 'white lights', here is what you could have found:
Yes, all those people had the same problem as you! And yes, all of them got the same replies and fixes to that problem. Sadly, no one uses the search bar, and it feels very lonely, and as a result, many people create new topics about the same thing, and it ends cluttering the forums a lot, and it makes our moderators all sad too, just like the search bar... So, if you want to make our moderators happy and make our search bar all lively and content again, I'd suggest you use it before creating a topic. Who knows, maybe someone already found the fix you're looking for!
#makesearchbargreatagain
Of course I'm not telling you what to do or where to post, this is a simple message for the the good of the community. No search bar or moderator were hurt during the creation of this post.

Virzza reacted to PieRGud in [REL | WIP] LSPDFR Computer+Ever miss the LCPDFR computer? The one with the user-friendly realistic UI? LSPDFR Computer+ aims to bring that back.
Check out the Computer+ Git!
PLEASE CHECK THE FAQ BEFORE MAKING A SUPPORT POST!
Current Features
- Ability to search for persons and vehicles without keys conflicting with other mods.
- Uses the LSPDFR API to get ped and vehicle information. Also includes info left out of the regular LSPDFR police computer, like times stopped and number of citations.
- Uses the Traffic Policer API (if it is installed) to also show a vehicle's insurance information.
- Search fields are automatically filled out with the subject's information during a traffic stop, so all you have to do is press a button!
- Dynamic backgrounds! Depending on which police vehicle you're in, you'll get a specialized department background. Comes with RDE support.
- Looks practically identical to the LCPDFR computer (in terms of the layout).
[NEW!] - Active Calls screen, which shows all callouts sent by Dispatch, even the ones that AI units respond to! (Must have participating callout plugins installed for this to work)
[NEW!] - Computer+ now has its own API, for callout developers to use!!
Planned Improvements
- Integration with @Albo1125's British Policing Script and soon to be released LSPDFR+.
- Combining Computer+ and @fiskey111's LSPDFR PolicingMDT into one mod.
FAQ
My mouse keeps resetting to the middle.
-> Change your mouse input setting to DirectInput or Raw Input.
The game crashed when I tried to search.
->This issue has been fixed in 1.3.
Police Radio and Computer+ showed different vehicle owners. Is this a bug?
-> No. Computer+ follows LSPDFR's vehicle owner, while Police Radio sometimes doesn't.
How can I rebind the E key?
-> Change the context key in your game settings.
Do I need a Computer+ supported callout for this plugin to work?
-> No. Computer+ will work fine, just the Call Details screen will be useless.
I found a bug / the plugin crashed.
If the bug/crash isn't a known issue, post here with as many details about it that you can give. If the plugin crashed, please ensure you also include your RagePluginHook.log (not the rcr report) that contains the crash message.
I'd like to give a suggestion/provide feedback.
Absolutely! I'd love to hear it. I'm actively looking to improve this plugin based upon what you guys want.

Virzza reacted to Fiskey111 in [WIP] Non-lethal policingHello everyone!
I'd like to offer you a sneak peak at the development of one of my two new callout packs!
These callouts/features are focused on the less GTA side of policing!
There is no current release date, it will be done when I complete all of the following and feel as though it is stable. I'd plan on at least 3 weeks, but most likely more.
Included with the release will be the following:
1. A personal, integrated MDT - containing report writing functionality, a map of LS, and (potentially) a ped database (although it may not tie into LSPDFR). This alone has taken me about 10 hours to complete to its current stage (seen in pictures below).
2. Accident callouts that require the player to simply direct traffic in an area - my plan for these is to have the player respond and maintain control of the scene (you may be first on scene or last, I plan on making that dynamic).
3. Community policing - a feature that will get you out of your cruiser! I plan on making it force you to walk around an area (like a shopping mall, convenience store, etc) and forcing you to talk to people. Something may happen, but most likely not.
4. Reports of
a. Shots
b. Shoplifting
c. Racing individuals
d. Etc.
The above will require you to talk to the reporter and write a detailed report regarding the situation. I plan on incorporating some sort of feedback mechanism using the MDT to see whether you got accurate information/remembered it all. (Maybe, we'll see).
5. And more I'm sure!
Here's a sneak peak at the basic MDT. I plan on incorporating more features to it (specifically suspect information in the reports cause I forgot that hahaha) as well as a navigation bar at the bottom so you know where you are.
**IF YOU HAVE DECENT EXPERIENCE WITH MDTs IN REAL LIFE PLEASE PM ME AS I HAVE QUESTIONS** **ALSO IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED IN GWEN FORM PLEASE PM ME AS I ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS WITH THAT**
Please not this is V0.0.0.1 of this system and it WILL change.
Here is a video preview! **PLEASE NOTE FRAME DROP IS FROM MY COMPUTER, NOT THE PLUGIN**

Virzza reacted to propel in New PC BuildAre you interested in CPU overclocking? A 4790K is meant to be overclocked but you have no CPU cooler which is pretty much required for overclocking... If your not, get something like a i5-4690 w/ a intel H97 mobo or the Skylake equivalent and use your extra cash to get a HDD/SSD combo with a 128/250 gb SSD, which will take your pc's performance to the next level compared to using a i5 instead of a i7.

Virzza reacted to thegreathah in New PC BuildI'll be getting the 1070. I'd wait around for that if I were you.
-
Virzza reacted to CODEX12 in New PC BuildI would wait for the MSI 1070 the stock ones look really ugly looking the 980 ti handles everything so getting a 1070 would be your best bet plus cheaper as well so you can add that extra cash to something else :)
Parents for you dude.
Am on the same boat i need all new part's CPU, GPU, motherboard a new case also ram cards i do want to get the 1080 myself but for my use i think its to much overpowered i rather get the 1070.
-
Virzza reacted to Hystery in New PC BuildI agree with above, the 1080 is waaay overprived, the 1070 would be a more affordable choice.
-
Virzza reacted toDeactivated Memberin New PC BuildThat video card is 660 dollars, when you could get a 1070 (they release June 10th) for about 380. It's most likely more powerful as its close counterpart the 1080 has greater power than SLI 980Ti's, at half the cost.
I'll be building a new PC soon too, and will definitely have a 1080, so it may be something to consider.

Virzza reacted to Cyan in New PC BuildAvoid cheap PSUs. My last PC had numerous crashing issues, with a cheap EVGA ~750W PSU.
As soon as I replaced it with a slightly more expensive SeaSonic PSU my issues went away.

Virzza got a reaction from thegreathah in New PC BuildHey everyone!
I have decided I want to build a new computer and I thought I would get some ideas from the community. I want a computer that will be able to hold up for years to come. I have around $1300 to spend and have decided I want a GTX 980 ti in it so when listing possible builds please be sure to have the GPU as a 980 ti. I need your help guys. What parts? :D
