I am also having trouble. I discovered that I only have the problem when using the Chrome browser, and it affects all RAR files randomly. It appears that the files are getting truncated before they are fully downloaded.

Ah, TIL. Thank you.

Yep, totally want to see this. In addition to turning over an arrested suspect to EMS, I'd like to see the ability to send non-arrested peds (who are still alive) with paramedics. Perhaps there could be a chance of them refusing treatment as well. And finally, to add some useful functionality: it would be great if your player could be healed whenever they walk up to an ambulance.

Is the sirensetting the single, stand-alone value that affects lights/siren functionality?

Down for making some textures here.

If you do, you should make it an extra, so that the car can be completely unmarked as a possibility :) Also try to get those lights on the mirrors move with the doors, that's a detail that a lot of modelers skip over. But it's looking awesome!

The whole point of COPS was to film real officers doing their jobs. Great resource, I agree that you should use it as a big source. Some cops are certainly all "yes sir, no sir, stop sir." Many in the U.S. will definitely be more relaxed when talking. I don't think that some of the lines, such as "...or I'm going to arrest you!" are very realistic. That's aggravating speech; best to try to keep things as calm as possible. The other thing to think about in writing and recording dialogue is putting some character into it like real voice actors would do. Albo's Bank Heist is awesome, but the voice acting is a bit bland. If I were you I'd think about the existing voice acting in GTA V and try to get yours to sound natural in the environment of the game. As natural as can be without animated talking, I guess. Jeff Favignano uses a studio mic with sound presence set really high. It has that ASMR, fireside-chat kinda feel. But when you hear it come through GTA in that one callout pack, it's kinda disturbing because it doesn't match the game. It sounds like someone is talking into your ear in a small room. Perhaps consider recording dialogue while outside. Then it will match the outside environment in which you'd be hearing it in-game. It'll take some practice. It might be super helpful if you post some actual recorded dialogue, once you guys do some, for further advice.

This can happen if you previously edited the RPF file in OpenIV and did something wrong, or forgot to Rebuild the file before running the game.

The mod in development for that sort of thing is called ELS (Emergency Lighting System). In GTA IV, it did a pretty good job of mimicking control of the various flash patterns for emergency vehicle lights that you see in real life. The equivalent mod is not finished for GTA V yet.

Looks great guys! For as many complaints and requests as everyone has, and the many things that can be improved on, it's still pretty amazing how far the mod and community content has come. It plays really well considering it's a beta release using the alpha release of a mod loader. It's a ton of fun and really well-done all around. As far as the pulling-over issue, it would definitely be nice to re-define that animation so that cars pull a little farther over. And I know that from a code standpoint, it's really complicated to get suspects to pull the vehicle to a location you want, as you can't just instruct them over the PA like in real life. Perhaps a possible solution would be some sort of script where you can mark a specific spot, like a waypoint on the map, and get the blipped vehicle to drive to that spot and stop. Oh also whenz it comming out guise!!??

The one big callout that's really missing is an ambient-event drug deal.

Perhaps the damage amount could be changed without ever using "repair" in the script. I don't know, someone who knows more about the internals of GTA would have to comment.

So there seems to be limited research into the possibility of making "wig-wag" alternating flashing headlights for police vehicles in GTA V. There's this "strobes" mod that makes the headlights flash together. http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/8214-strobes-mod-v/ Since the two headlights seem to be locked together, I wonder if it's possible to cheat the system by writing a script that takes advantage of vehicle damage. Anyone looked into this? Would it be possible to create a script that roughly did the following?: 1. Damage right headlight 2. Turn on headlights 3. Turn off headlights 4. Repair vehicle 5. Damage left headlight 6. Turn on headlights 7. Turn off headlights 8. Repair vehicle 9. Repeat Do we know enough about vehicle damage coding to do this kind of thing?

Been trying to search through the mod exchange for good slicktop cop cars. Preferably ones with liveries, for texture replacements. One of the only ones I can find is this '99 CVPI. But there don't seem to be any with good, new interior lights. The lack of a big lightbar means you'd need more than two little LED lights in front to be visible to traffic. Any models out there? Hmm hyperlinks don't seem to work. http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/9164-99-slicktop-sahp_smpv

Sorry, I've tried searching through various websites and forums but now I'm just confused to hell. Do I need ZModeler 3 to do something like put a default, original GTA V police light bar on a certain car? Or is there some workaround way to do this?

Welcome to Always Online DRM. Once you pay $60.00 for a game, you do not own it. You are temporarily renting it for as long as the company keeps the servers going. Pretty soon you'll see game companies banning people from Single Player modes. We saw what happened to SimCity because of this. But game devs are going to push ahead with using DRM anyway, because they can make more money. Rockstar Games, EA and all the other companies doing this can go get hit by a bus.

It depends on your version of GTA V. I have the Amazon digital download, which has Always Online DRM, meaning the game cannot be played while offline. Doing some quick Google research, it seems that most people say the Steam version, and all other versions of GTA V also have Always Online DRM. A few people say it is possible to downgrade, but there doesn't seem to be any proof of this. Since every GTA update patches the EXE, and the game cannot be played offline, it would seem that it is impossible to downgrade the game, and we have to wait for every single plugin that we use to be updated.
