haha, we'll be in touch Developer diary The code is being rewritten in case of some calls to get more realistic experience and fix all issues you guys encountered while playing. Eg. in case of MuggVic the victim will be following you to the RMP to avoid confusion, EMSAssist suspect will be easier to apprehend and the paramedics will receive their task on basis of an actual situation. GangAssault spawns got moved because of obvious issues with a prisoner transport after arresting them. I'm trying to make the pack more stable, easier to use and prepare to release the stable version. After getting those 10 working satisfactorily I'll turn another ideas into new callouts.

@Stevetrackboyz, thanks! I enjoyed your video, a lot of police brutality but after all - great police work just kiddin' thanks to you I noticed a couple of things to improve in my script. I highly recommend to see the footage - some of you may notice that violent scenario of "ElBums" @Sheriff Van Dyck: thanks for your nice words. As I posted in Download section - expanding my calls to another boroughs have low priority, I want to focus on bug fixing, adding new calls and features.

I believe your PS3 controller files might cause the problem. Take a look at these lines: [ERROR - 11:15:35 AM] [] SlimDX.XInput.XInputException: Unknown: n/a (-1) at SlimDX.Result.Throw[T](Object dataKey, Object dataValue) at SlimDX.Result.Record[T](Int32 hr, Boolean failed, Object dataKey, Object dataValue) at SlimDX.XInput.Controller.GetState() As far as I know SlimDX handles external controllers and - in your case - there is an error connected with the part of the library that is responsible for that. I'd move the files of PS3 pad out the GTA IV folder and try again.

I attached a simple user's guide to the first post which should make a lot of things clear. It'll be included in the pack with the next update.

Now I see what the most important issue is: I left you guys without a proper tutorial/help file and the can seem complicated, eg. the mugging victim call: you was supposed to enter the car and a complainant would follow you and take a free seat. I'll post a proper description of everything so you won't get confused next time. Sorry for inconvenience, I'm a lil' bit busy and didn't have a free time to prepare it. @ [D0] - Wouter's calls uses it so I believed you guys will know what it is about.

@OfficerBurningBowl: I know what may be causing that, will try to fix. Thanks! @C.O. N.Y.: ok, now we can do something. You need to back up the SlimDX.dll file located in your GTA IV directory (eg. copy it to the Documents folder) and unpack the *.rar I included to the GTA IV folder. After replacement try to run your game and report back, please.

I'm happy to read that you like it! I'll investigate the issue you described since my script checks player's location = it might be connected. Report with a log excerpt, please, if it repeats in the future because that would be easy to fix. Yes, I've a lot of ideas to implement and I really want to fill Bohan with reality of the old South Bronx. I'll be posting a historical background to my pack as soon as I collect everything I want to show you. It's necessary to make y'all feel the beat of that place

I attached a picture where you can clearly see that HelpBox. I believe it is shown too early and that's why you didn't pay attention to it. It'll be changed.

I set it to following values: [Callouts] MaximumSecondsBeforeNewCallout=100 MinimumSecondsBeforeNewCallout=30 Enabled=True Multiplier=1000

Yep, it uses API so it doesn't collide with LukeD's and Wouter's callouts.

@Troy: I know that and don't really know how to get rid of. It's nothing serious though so it'll get my attention after more important things. Thanks for your report! @Murphy: yep, it'll get it's *.ini file soon. You all be able to change some more and less important things. And that video from you is epic gotta watch the whole movie. @C.O. N.Y.: did you try to run it more than once? Are you sure that the error is caused ONLY when my *.dll is in the plugin folder? To understand where the problem is you should paste LCPDFR.log (actually the last part). @Eagle: I can't figure out what is causing that error (I suppose you get a msg that a resource doesn't exist). It appears to failure only in case of some spawn points so you can wait for another chance to check it out. I'd be grateful if you could describe what kind of error you got in from GangAssault call. About that log: the error was caused by LCPD:FR, look at this line: Error while processing script: AmbientScenarioManager. ASM handles all that ambient evens like a drunk pedestrian, hand-to-hand drug sale etc.You might want to report it in the proper section of LCPDFR possible bug reports.

That's a great news, both about BxBugs' Town Car and new episodes with classics, which are my favorite to drive with. I'm looking forward to see them!

@Troy: You just do your job, there's always some risk, like when you're in shootout with 6 or 7 individuals (LCPD:FR native call) :P. The chance to explode is set now to several percent. You had the possibility to test that feature too often. The problem lies in balance which will be improved thanks to your comments and opinions. @C.O. N.Y.: do you use LCPD:FR 1.0c? It won't run on another version. You can also include a part of LCPDFR.log where there should be some information about a cause of that error.

Guys, thanks for your kind words. I hope that you'll like even more while discovering all features I prepared for you. @Troy: it convinces me to decrease the chance to explode so the risk factor will stay but there won't be a Baghdad-syndrome anymore LOL. I have an idea how make it more realistic but I can't tell if it's gonna work or not, GTA happens to be capricious. You'll know in one of the next update. @FCV96: many thanks

@Sgt.Kanyo: as I posted in Download section: they are multi-scenarios. One time homeless just hanging around and talkin', another they will act aggressive etc. It depends on 1) random number which determine a scenario, 2) current day time, 3) location of the spawn point. A car on fire: you just missed a help box with instruction - that's what @Adm did good and got a rare scenario of this call Calls set themselves as finished automatically or you can also use [End] to force-end them in any time. It's useful in some cases when eg. canvassing the area is not giving any result. To see how it actually works you need to try it a couple of times. I wanted to avoid a "Rambo" mod when every call leads to a massive shootout with at least 50 policemen.

The Wasteland 1.0.0 A pack of callouts and world events for the borough of Bohan. The mod is focused on recreating the conditions of policing in high-crime areas of NYC. You can expect dynamic gameplay as well as ordinary police work. Due to the fact that the pack is still in development stage every aspect of gameplay may be changed. List of calls: 1. Burglary in the past Take a report and look for a suspect. Monitor your radio, another sector car may spot your suspect and need your assistance in pursuing him. 2. A car on fire Cars in Bohan are rather in poor condition. When FD is busy (in South Bohan: always) you got to back them up with some easier jobs. 3. A car is being stripped It might be stolen car so be there ASAP before they dismantle it to atoms. Make sure you don't spook the "mechanics" with your siren! 4. Sale of narcotics Drugs are one of the biggest problem in the neibourhood. Help the community and take another dealer from the streets. 5. Homeless people harassing LTA passengers Just askin' for a dime, huh? A simple question may turn into a violent attack, respond quick when it’s dark! 6. EMS is requesting assistance Help paramedics with the aggressive patient. 7. Gang-related assault Despite of gang activity and violent attacks, people are still jogging after dark. Be on scene as soon as possible, otherwise the victim may not survive. 8. A mugging victim calls for help Mugging is an everyday crime in Bohan. Go and help a complainant. Drive her to the hospital or canvass the area to find a suspect. 9. Prisoner transport An ordinary job of a patrolman. Transport a prisoner to the station house. 10. Assist patrolman with a "man with a gun" call Respond on a request of your fellow Officers. You got to be there in case of hell break loose. 11. An unconscious man Street events attract people like a magnet. Control the crowd until EMS arrives. 12. A street fight Common occurence in every busy area. Your task is to restore public order. 13. Drug usage Bohan is highly infested with drugs and you are the one who is suppose to fight it. Take all possible safety measures while handling calls connected with intoxication. 14. Commercial burglary Store owners are struggling to keep their businesses running. Without police assistance they won’t make it. Be in the right place at the right time to catch goons who destroy the local business. 15. Robbery of street gamblers What gives more fun than shooting dice with friends? And wherever there is money there are robbers. Keep your gun prepared while responding to this call! ...and all of them with different versions. Together there are tens of scenarios! Have fun!
