Agree completely. There is no way a legal document would've gone out with such poor grammar. Even if it was translated from English into Russian, it would've gone through a competent legal translator and not just Google translate. I hope they post the full letter.
 
It also doesn't make sense - OpenIV has been around for a long time now. It's not like TakeTwo or R* suddenly found out OpenIV existed last week.

Thank you!
 
Modding is not illegal. Everybody needs to realize that the issue here is between Take 2 and OpenIV. 
 
Take2 is basically saying that OpenIV is violating Take2's intellectual property rights and they must stop or face a lawsuit. OpenIV simply decided not to fight this time.  
 
While you techniically only own a license to GTA5, nothing stops you from opening the game up and making any changes you want to the code, to your own detriment if you dont understand how to do it
 
Modding software such as OpenIV and  RPH stand  alot closer to the legal line because they facilitate the editing of Take2 software at a public level and have the ability to (and have) profited from it via donations or other means. This is where OpenIV and RPH and even LSPDFR are vulnerable.
 
Individual players arent at risk and companies like Take2 would be foolish to try to go after each individual for violoating their license agreement. It would be extremely bad PR for them.
 
 
 

People are overreacting. Someone will create something similar within a few weeks. If that gets taken down, someone else will make a new one, if that gets taken down, someone else will make a new one, rinse and repeat. Don't underestimate the power of modders and their determination. 
 
It doesn't have to be as fancy as OpenIV, or as pretty, or as functional. It could be a quick mashup to simply let you install car mods and nothing more. 

Have spent some time this week figuring out some of the new developments in map editing! With OpenIV 2.9, proper map mods are now possible. I've also discovered some new tricks to get certain building props to spawn outside their normal area, and I've been doing some custom props in zmodeler. What does this all mean? Well, it's still early in its development, but say hello to Coast Guard Station Paleto Bay! I've gotten some feedback from beta testers (and observed in their videos) that people tend to focus on the Los Santos/Del Perro area when they go out on Coastal patrols. The rugged northern coast of San Andreas has some of the most demanding terrain for coast guard missions, so I'm pleased to finally have a small boats station in Paleto Bay to serve this isolated, beautiful, and dangerous section of the Pacific coast. 
 

 

 

 
 

 

Well this has taken a lot more time and been a lot more difficult than anticipated, although I've learned a lot and am quite happy with the result thus far! Not quite complete, as I've yet to add some of the parts around the edges (currently there's a see-through cliff haha), and need to add some more details. But the core station building is nearly complete, with working lights, full collisions, working ladders, station signs, etc. Special thanks to @OriginalNewbie and @magiobiwan for working on a Station Paleto Bay logo!
 
 

Rockstar released an update for GTA:IV yesterday (https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/235650888) after over 6 years without an update. As expected, LCPD:FR won't load now. It looks like AdvancedHookInit.asi isn't working with the new version, nor is ScriptHook or ScriptHookDotNet. I attached the logs for AdvancedHookInit and ScriptHook. In theory, all that should be needed is an update to them to match the latest game version number (probably 1.0.8.0), and they should work fine. Unless Rockstar decided to sneak in some anti-mod countermeasures to mess with everyone.

Go back and install RagePluginHook version 29.. For some reason there are issues with version 30 and version 31 and  LSPDFR is crashing for some people .. I had the same issues. Going back to Version 29 solved it.. 
The download is the 3rd one down from the top of the list RAGE Plugin Hook - Open Alpha - 0.29.817.5806

Hope it solves your problem.. like it did for me
 

Well, I personally would like to see some mods included in the LSPDFR core. Albo's mods are some of them. :)

I like some of these ideas.  The VIP escort you can roleplay really nice with that one.  Good suggestion.
One thing I have learned about Albo is that he reads all suggestions and takes them into consideration and will indeed try to implement it if its possible.  When he first started off, we were firing all kinds of ideas to him and it would take him sometimes like 2 days and it would be there.  Amazing mind he has.  Sam should recruit him onto the LSPDFR team no joke. 

We don't give release dates. Back when LCPDFR was in very early alpha we made the mistake of giving a release date, then failing to meet it by a few days.
The community response was overwhelmingly immature and negative. After that, we made a vow to never give release dates to anybody, not only can they not be guaranteed, but the immature uproar that follows afterword simply isn't worth it.

Old thread, but I do hope you realize that every modern police car has both a stereo system AND a police radio (obviously). If there was no music in police cars half of the LEOs in the world would be falling asleep at the wheel...
