Hold on, that means... should I break the callout script content into parts? Like Squad placed in a new controller called Squad.cs and called from there? For the extension methods, I saw that once on one of JulioNIB's scripts called RocketLock that was open-source in VB. Still, well... idk how to explain this, but I'm getting confused about how to use extension method. My programming language are basics only, of which I learned Pascal and Java (and a bit of C++) from the college. C# is autodidact that none in the college lessons learn it, so I learned it from the book. Also, I've added some part of coding from the original NooseMod into mine for custom player rearming when the player is near an Enforcer (while on duty as a SWAT member), but eventually I got an error that caused Main plugin to halt: [ERROR - 3:29:29 PM] [PluginManager] Unhandled exception caught while processing plugin: NooseMod. Plugin will no longer be executed.

I've modified the code since the last one caused me to unable to get back into Enforcer when rearming "in live". I think the issues might be the GetEnforcerArmoryState() since it was an old coding (and modified a bit for LCPDFR API), but maybe I'll consider breaking it instead of that. private bool GetEnforcerArmoryState() { LVehicle closestVehicle = LVehicle.FromGTAVehicle(World.GetClosestVehicle(lcpdfrPlayer.Ped.Position, 3f)); return closestVehicle != null && closestVehicle.Model.ModelInfo.Hash == Enforcer; }

Well... so much fun with the V and RDE I started to forget my NooseMod project, now I'm back to continue it. Okay, got my next run of this project using LCPDFR API as the basis and edited some of the codes as I code and "joke" around, and still got some errors. I'm holding advices from @LtFlash until this is sorted out. During my run with the NooseMod I got errors like this: [ERROR - 4:03:29 PM] [Script.CalloutManager] Error while processing callout: NooseMod: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Initialize() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C#\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1339 at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.WaitFor2ndTeam() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C#\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1189 at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Process() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C#\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1750 at ‮‌‫‫‏‫‎‬‭‌‮‏‌‎‫‏‮‮.‌‪‫‫‏‮‍‫‎‭‍‮‫‏‭‏‮‬‏‭‍‎‍‍‬‫‌‮() in d:\GTA IV\LCPDFR\SVN\trunk\LCPD First Response\LCPDFR\Callouts\CalloutManager.cs:line 250 [ERROR - 4:03:29 PM] [Script.NooseMod] System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Initialize() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1339 at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.WaitFor2ndTeam() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1189 at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Process() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1750 at .() in d:\GTA IV\LCPDFR\SVN\trunk\LCPD First Response\LCPDFR\Callouts\CalloutManager.cs:line 250 [ERROR - 4:03:29 PM] [ExceptionHandler] NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Initialize() L_0563 NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.WaitFor2ndTeam() L_0075 NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.Process() L_0053 ‮‌‫‫‏‫‎‬‭‌‮‏‌‎‫‏‮‮.‌‪‫‫‏‮‍‫‎‭‍‮‫‏‭‏‮‬‏‭‍‎‍‍‬‫‌‮() L_0331 Error hash: F5C1B28FE99C95E846787D02448A769F5ABD3B63 [ERROR - 4:03:29 PM] [Script.NooseMod] Cannot execute cleanup on peds: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at NooseMod_LCPDFR.Callouts.NooseMod.End() in c:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\C#\proyek_gta\NooseMod_LCPDFR\NooseMod_LCPDFR\Callouts\NooseMod.cs:line 1857 Source Code of NooseMod.cs I also include the last screenshot where the error happens. I really don't know the last thing I edited on it after 3 months of RDE configuration modding and I just continue it all the way in. While I try to sort this out, any help will be appreciated.

Anyway, sorry to intrude, but I recently found some awkward description about "Canis Crusader is replaced by Military Patriot" (or should I say, a bug that I can't tell for RDE). In game, when you buy the vehicles from a website (Warstock Cache and Carry in this instance), I found out that Crusader is replaced by Military Patriot. I do see that it has no problems at all, but when you're planning to buy a realistic and militarized Humvee (or in my days of LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2 game it's known as M1025 HMMWV, an unarmed version of Humvee used for ATC backup in case if the airbase tower is destroyed or when at a FARP) for your collection in your aircraft hangar, the car name changes, but the pictures and description don't. I found it weird in some cases (and I think others may feel the same), but you can ignore it if it's okay. I'm planning in my expansion pack to remap this Patriot as the third Crusader vehicle and restores the first one to its maximum potential, if I can't figure out which OXT lines and images contained that carry them.

Actually, my friend, before I attempted to add more vehicles, I did experienced popping in textures after more than an hour of retarded fun with cops. That was at the first time RDE installed with some of the weapon realism mods; no add-on vehicles or peds used at that time. Added cars after RDE have no effect for prolonged use w/o wanted level unless either added to the dispatch files, repeated vehicle spawns (RDE and some other script mods that implement it), or any other factors. Temporarily deactivating it should improve performance, though, and I see it did the job when it comes to LSPDFR.

I see. Then I have something to tell ya, @Yard1 My 10 minutes testing with RDE is fine. I've been testing all vehicles provided from that and seems to have no problems. Only the thing I concern is the Hunter helicopter, which weirdly was exist in Smugglers' Run DLC. I had to apply the bugfix on it since the handling and vehicles metadata are duplicated but differ in data inside (one in RDE, one in Smugglers' Run itself). I've already tested the Hunter helicopter since RDE 3.0.1, but in 3.1.1, it has conflicts with Smugglers' Run Hunter helicopter. My bugfix is that I apply the RDE's handling and vehicles into Smugglers' Run handling and vehicles, then deactivate the ones in RDE. I got this since two months ago, but I'm too shy to report in to the team developers. Also, I've been testing RDE into a prolonged use (2 hours or more of retarded fun with the cops and army), and just like you said, game crash when traveling into some parts of LS. Another thing... there are popping in textures as well as "glassy surface" (because of popping in textures) that makes you can see the underworld right under the player's feet. I've been testing it for almost more than 20 times in 2 months and my reports are more or less same. Oh yeah, I'm testing it with at least 500+ vehicle and ped add-ons; most of them are from Panico Total at 5-Mods and some are hand-picked. I also implemented his USCG Pack into the RDE to add extra variety (USCG Predator and USCG Swift are not enough). I've been including it into the proposed custom dispatch that I'll be releasing it before the New Year. In the other side, most parts of the story missions are compatible with RDE (noting that I started the new game with RDE installed), only for the Evasion Time itself takes quite longer (got Bronze in "Carbine Rifles" mission for the Jewel Heist no matter how many times I tried unless I cheated). "The Paleto Score" however, was my favorite, where I can see BCSO officers rock 'n roll when the heist happens and the Army comes for a KO. RDE should add difficulty with SWATs swarming in, but in there, LSPD SWATs? I had to say that it's a game script that spawns LSPD SWATs in LSPD Riot instead of BCSO SWATs or NOOSE SWATs. Any other missions look fine, including "The Final Score" where you rob the Union Depository. That's all I can report in for my review with RDE.

Hey, @Yard1, just come by here at the wrong place and the wrong time anyway. I've been spending my time before the end of 2017 for testing Realism Dispatch Enhanced to its maximum potential, and guess what, I'm getting a hang of it. Personally I'd like to leave a feedback, but I have other matters to attend to, especially with lots of homeworks going on. Your team's mod was really awesome, but apparently after 5 stars, you can't even surrender to cops anymore. Is this normal? I'd personally chose the Police Bribe mod to reduce stars to 4 and surrender, if that's ever saw fit. Also I'm developing my own dispatch system for RDE since I combined IV Car Pack and Vanillaworks Extended Pack into one. Only a few more steps towards upload before the New Year. Anyway, I forgot the RDE's mod description again. Is it okay to publish a custom dispatch system for RDE? And I also make a showcase video with RDE and some other mods in place. Say hello to The Realism Team from me.

Anyway, @LtFlash I managed to use the method to bypass the deprecated method to get the blips, but eventually it got an error when coding with Find method. I had to do workaround like this: Blip[] myBlips = Blip.GetAllBlipsOfType(BlipType.Ped); foreach (Blip myBlip in myBlips) { if (myBlip.GetAttachedItem() == myped) { if (myBlip != null) myBlip.Delete(); } else continue; } Is this okay?

Wow... you know every solutions I have for the project I'm developing. But what's done is done. I'll take your advice if I want to make other LCPDFR API project, @LtFlash. Likewise, if I want to use it in my ongoing project, that means code redesigning. ATM, my method is quite stable to me, because enumerations are processed in the Process function, like the way original Pursuit callout works (LCPDFR mostly processes ongoing event from the Process function). If I have a trouble again while designing this callout, I'll post again in this thread.

Well... I dunno what to say, but I appreciate your feedback. However, I know from the way you said about "RegisterStateCallback" (I even declare it in MissionState class), but mine's very different. Like I said, the callout looks awkward no matter I force setting the State to what I want, although I did follow what you said before you tell me that. I currently had to remove the RegisterStateCallback function and process every method in Process area. That, fortunately, sorted (solved) the problem out. BTW, should I change 2^n (2 powered by n number) with the regular integer (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on), or keep it as is? 2^1 is similar to 2. public override void Process() { base.Process(); // here is where I bypass the awkward callout when RegisterStateCallback is used // It's stable, perhaps if (mission == MissionState.GoingToMissionLocation) { WaitingForPlayer(); return; } if (mission == MissionState.WaitForTeamInsertion) { DispatchTeam(); return; } if (mission == MissionState.Initialize) { InitiateShootout(); return; } if (mission == MissionState.DuringMission) TrackPedsInPlayerRoom(); // Count on how many terrors left to be finished if (isPursuitSessionActive == false) { // Should between 1 and 3 because Intro only include 4 terrorists and 3 hostages // Frequent use of Common.GetRandomValue "might" be unstable; consider changing it? HoldUntilTerrorists_Left(Common.GetRandomValue(1, 3+1)); return; } GetArrestedTerrorists(); // If no more terrorists are active (arrested or killed in the process), end the callout if (missionPeds.Count == 0) { // Get casualties on officers and squad GetCasualties(); // Sum cash gained int cashGained = (deadSuspects.Count * MoneyForEachDeadSuspect) + (arrestedSuspects.Count * MoneyForEachArrestedSuspect) + (hostages.Count * RewardForRescuedHostages) - (deadHostages.Count * PenaltyForDeadHostage) - (officers_killed * PenaltyForOfficerCasualties) - (squad_killed * PenaltyForSquadCasualties); // Inform player on screen Functions.PrintText("Mission complete! Terrorists killed: " + deadSuspects.Count + ", Terrorists arrested: " + arrestedSuspects.Count + " Hostages killed: " + deadHostages.Count + ", Hostages rescued: " + hostages.Count + ", Officer Casualties: " + officers_killed + ", Squad Casualties: " + squad_killed + ", Income for your noble service: $" + cashGained, 30000); Functions.AddTextToTextwall("Squad, terrorist threat is neutralized. Mission complete!", LPlayer.LocalPlayer.Username); Functions.AddTextToTextwall(Functions.GetStringFromLanguageFile("CALLOUT_SHOOTOUT_END_TW"), Functions.GetStringFromLanguageFile("POLICE_SCANNER_CONTROL")); // Add cash LPlayer.LocalPlayer.Money += cashGained; // Write stats WriteStatistics(deadSuspects.Count, arrestedSuspects.Count, deadHostages.Count, hostages.Count, officers_killed, squad_killed, cashGained); // Save the progress SaveGame(); Log.Debug("Process: Commands properly assigned", this); /*// End everything PlaySound(false); PlayFinishedMissionSound(); SetCalloutFinished(true, false, false);*/ SetCalloutFinished(true, true, false); End(); } } Anyway, this is the very first mod that uses database system, if I need to go off topic for a bit. I got this learning when I practicing C# language from the book and figure out the commands on my own.

I'll take your advice, @LtFlash. Well, you know more of LCPDFR API programming than mine. I had to do major edits on the code because when using "while" and "do... while" loop, the game hangs instead of processing information. Also the "RegisterStateCallback" method seems to get the callout looks awkward (you responded the callout and suddenly you are already in position while you don't) - I only use it on my SecuricarThefts plugin for LCPDFR, the one with the Shooting callout with Securicar personnel involvement. And I've been putting tutorial inside it but so far not yet tested because I need to rest. Well, I'm sure it works, because I can predict what will happen next. Anyway I'm still debugging the plugin without Audio Player for a while until it works and meets my minimal demands of a working plugin. Still... There's these functions I've been implementing from the original NooseMod, but current version of SHDN deprecate the functions (or those are obsolete). I actually don't know how to use "dynamic" method, because I currently know the basics, but not with handling the so-called "metadata". I haven't yet tested this, because the callout runs on Difficulty and Hardcore Mode check. // Standard ped do not have option to grab a Blip instance, used Metadata instead // Method is similar to the old NooseMod, but not for suspects // TODO: Look for other alternative (to bypass deprecated method) myped.SetMetadata<Blip>("blip", true, hostageBlip); Blip metadata = myped.GetMetadata<Blip>("blip"); if (metadata != null) metadata.Delete(); I believe these are used in old SHDN, but I can't exactly confirm the version, could be older than the one distributed alongside the LCPDFR. Could that cause the side-effect in LCPDFR and regular script (which also use that method)? If so, how to replace it (using Metadata then followed by a dynamic function)? I bet no one has ever done this than me, except in the old times where the original author designed the NooseMod (that eventually designed for the older version of GTA IV with older SHDN). None in any tutorials explain about it (especially for JulioNIB's). Likewise, I'm still developing, but needed rest a bit often.

Hey, actually while I was developing, I got a question. In details, there's this unique LCPDFR feature about "search radius" for knowing last location of suspect when the pursuing police/law enforcer has lost contact, like the ones in original GTA when a player is being chased by a police. Can't tell by screenshots because I'm still developing but I remember about "visual on suspect lost" or something. When the suspect has escaped the police (definitely after escaping the search radius for a period of time), I'd like to add an option to clear the mission peds list in my NooseMod project, that is, specific for that suspect that escaped. Will this part of coding work? I'm still curious, though, because I did beta tests alone. private void GetArrestedTerrorists() { if (isPursuitSessionActive && missionPeds.Count != 0) { foreach (LPed myped in missionPeds) { if (myped.IsAlive && myped.HasBeenArrested && myped.Exists()) { missionPeds.Remove(myped); arrestedSuspects.Add(myped); } // whether IsDead return true and HasBeenArrested return false else if (myped.IsDead && !myped.HasBeenArrested && myped.Exists()) { missionPeds.Remove(myped); deadSuspects.Add(myped); } // If the suspect has lost visual and escaped else if (!myped.Exists()) missionPeds.Remove(myped); } } } I'm focusing to the one that commented "If the suspect has lost visual and escaped". Wonder if that won't work.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks @LtFlash. Edit: Looks good, no game crashes, but apparently I'm running on something I want to figure out on my own, but... oh well... Looks like I'm getting into the programming world... I've been running a recently test on missions but I got stuck on "ArgumentOutOfRange" exception. On my other tests using Listing in Console Application is fine (I did an approx. 2 times with changing codes and adding StreamReader into it), but not with the NooseMod, even though the list was within the range (0 to 7 - there are 8 missions provided from the original NooseMod script). I'm trying to chase this issue to find out what caused the trouble, but if anyone got time to spare thoughts, I'd be happy to oblige. LCPDFR.log Edit2: Actually, I got that problem sorted out.

Actually, I don't know if I'm correct to post my problem right here, but I do have a problem. I'm designing a new LCPDFR API plugin that brings Counter-Strike-styled game into GTA, but I encountered a problem. Long story short, I designed this based on the old NooseMod script that released since 2009 and I wanted to enhance it, using LCPDFR engine. I wanted to contact the author of the mod, but for the past 8 years he was never resurfaced, nor speaking online. Also the site I wanted to get in contact with was closed. And yeah, I do have adequate skills in GTA scripting after learning from C# tutorial book and the internet. My script comprises of many classes; very complicated. I redesigned it based from the original NooseMod. Terrorist Pursuit callout works without any issues except, when it comes to the main callout (NooseMod). I made 3 attempts on forcing the callout after changing model to SWAT member, but it always caused the game to crash. LCPDFR.log records NO exceptions, but the Scripthookdotnet.log records it, which is unique IMO. I have attached 3 logs (or full preview from my blog post: "Well, at least I tried..."). Any help will be appreciated. P.S.: If anyone wants to test my source code for debugging, I published my codes as a repository on my GitHub here: https://github.com/Naruto607/NooseMod It's my third debug since the initial commit on 30/7.
