Yeah, too many lights can cause crashes. Not game crashes. Real ones. Turns out, drivers who stare at a lit-up emergency vehicle are likely to end up steering towards it.

​I'm pretty certain the PC natives are the same; it would be absolutely insane for Rockstar to meaningfully change them (since that entails re-writing every single scripted event in the game), and it would be odd to rename them. It's just the hashes that are different, AFAIK; the reason it matters is that we actually can't call V natives directly, because they must be called by hash (so we need to work out the hash-function mapping before doing much, unless we want to manually figure out what every single hash does).

See http://www.lcpdfr.com/topic/49746-how-to-stop-notification-spam/

Nope. "Disregard callout" is actually an error-handling mechanism in disguise: if LCPDFR fails to set up the callout properly for whatever reason (for instance, if a ped doesn't spawn or immediately despawns), it handles that by clearing the callout and giving the "disregard" message. So what "disregard" really means is "sorry, creating this callout didn't work for some reason," but "disregard the call" fits much better in-universe without breaking immersion. Because it's an error-handling mechanism, there's no real way to "disable" it; if you did, it would just mean you either get broken callouts or get less immersion-friendly error messages.

That doesn't work nearly as well as you think it does. Rockstar *can't* get a trusted checksum from your game, because trying that relies on the very software you're trying to detect a modification of. Nothing would be stopping you from sending the right checksum even if you're lying about it.

Good analogy. ​If I walk into the street in plain view of a car driver, with plenty of room for them to stop, and they hit me, then they are absolutely blameworthy (and would go to prison for homicide, because a driver has an obligation to not kill pedestrians, and the only way it's excusable is if the driver is taking all precautions they should be taking -- that includes looking at the road and slamming on the brake if you'd otherwise hit someone). If (to take a better analogy to here) they specifically swerve to run me over, that's even more blameworthy. Police officers have guns for only one reason: to stop someone from killing others. If you run from cops, you should not expect them to kill you. Police aren't allowed to kill you because you're running from them, unless they know or have a good reason to believe that you have committed a crime so serious that if you escape you will kill someone in the future and there is no other option to stop you from escaping. Unless they're arresting you for a violent felony, or for something like stealing a nuclear bomb, they are simply not allowed to shoot you for running. So no, the fact that the victim ran doesn't provide any sort of excuse to the cops, because running doesn't give them any more right to open fire than taunting them does.

The OP seems to have solved their problem, so I'm locking this thread. OP, if you want it reopened, just report this post. If you feel this topic has been closed in error, please report this post.

​That's for content modding; this thread is more about scripting (which is LMS's specialty). Listener and Alexander Blade also do a whole lot of scripting stuff, but OpenIV is mostly just a content modding project.

IPB 4 doesn't really *have* BBCode; it internally operates on HTML, and when you type BBCode into a post it parses it to HTML when you post and just saves the HTML. So, a BBCode editor is impossible; the only "code mode" is if you have HTML posting privileges, in which case you can directly work on HTML source.

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

​The signatures work; I can see yours just fine. The ranks are one of those things missing for now; they were mostly part of the badge avatars, which are gone at the moment. There should be a "like" button on all posts; this is not new.

​You're forgetting the part where modders need to figure out how to access all those events, get the AI to accept you as a comrade, get AI cops to spawn and come to your location, etc. Things take time.

With my rather suboptimal graphics card, I found significant improvement switching to DirectX 10.1.

​What's wrong with single-player god mode? And how does this have anything to do with console?

Yeah, pretty sure they registered that years ago.

Germany actually *did* pay substantial reparations after WWII (they would have been higher, but no one wanted a repeat of Versailles).

There's no application process or anything. We pick staff when we decide we need staff; we then choose based on our impressions of who'd make a good staff member. The only way to become staff is to be notably helpful and mature, and in general be a good member of the community, to the point where someone brings up your name when we brainstorm possible staff. Asking to become staff is pretty much going to DQ you.

Here's the thing: School is not meant to prepare you for a career. This is not its function. If you think it is the function of school, you have been seriously misled. The point of school is to give you an education. It is to teach you a broad range of things. Most of this will be completely useless for strictly doing your job. That's OK; while not relevant for your job, it's still relevant for the purpose of being a moderately rounded human being.

MODERATOR NOTICE Moved to proper section.

MODERATOR NOTICE Please stay on topic. Don't make this personal.

Last I noticed, this thread was about NYPDDetectiveODonnell's collectible prop gun he got in the mail, not about the semantics of the term "felon."

Look up Oscar Grant. This is the very last thing cops need. It's just asking for negligent shootings. I seriously can't think of a single reason this would be a good idea to issue to someone who also carries a firearm.

Or as soon as the person threatening you decides that they now need to kill you because they think you're about to kill them (there's a reason you generally aren't supposed to reveal you have a concealed weapon unless you actually need to be firing it).

Depends on the kind of grad school; as I understand it, if you're going for a Ph.D, GREs are normally more of a box to tick and what really matters is recommendations.

A pepper spray container that looks like a gun? I mean, I suppose if you'd *like* to get shot, this might work. I just think there are easier ways to get someone to kill you.
