I mean don't get me wrong, LSPDFR 0.3 is pretty great, and a big improvement over 0.2. And obviously it's silly to be posting asking for release dates for the next version. But there's plenty of bugs to be fixed, improvements to the AI left to be made, better API methods to be added, and so on. Let's not pretend it's perfect in its current form.

Thanks for your kind words and enthusiasm! I hope you'll enjoy whenever it eventually gets released. I haven't gotten into any map building. Anybody who's skilled in that area and wants to contribute should PM me. I imagine there's a number of things that could be added in terms of coast guard/police stations and things like that. I do plan to integrate with arrest manager (and have been working with Albo to ensure they can integrate smoothly), so that you'll be able to do something with arrested peds at sea. At the moment, arrests don't work very well offshore, so it's going to require a lot of additional work before it's all ready, but I am taking that into consideration.

Not at the moment. With the development of ELS, eventually it may be possible. With the tools currently available, coronas can only be modded by directly editing the vehicle modeler.

Indeed. Quite annoying.

Just search on youtube and you'll find dozens of LSPDFR tutorial videos. Or, just go find the plugins you want to use (browse the scripts downloads section) and follow their instructions. Every popular plugin has installation instructions. If you can read, you can install LSPDFR :)

The ChaseMe mode isn't really meant to be a core feature of the mod. If you want to be chased by cops, just shoot a couple in GTA normally and you'll get chased to your heart's content. ChaseMe is a fun little easter egg, but really meant for plugin developers to test their mod functionality.

As far as I can tell, the environmental lighting is based on the sequence, not the corona multiplier.

No. The sequencer setting determines when the texture flashes. The multiples setting determines how many times the corona flashes each time the texture flashes. So if you had a setting like 1010 and a multiplier of 2, you'd have the texture turning off/on with the corona flashing twice each time the texture turns on.

How many times the corona flashes per flash in the sequence

So.... apparently I never actually implemented reading in those values and doing something with them. Was quick enough to re-use the code from custom backup, I just neglected to actually connect all the bits internally. Currently testing it out, will send you a PM individually with a beta download once I get it working. Sorry for that! EDIT: Sent out a beta fix to all three of you. I included an example line of what the XML would look like for that.

It may actually be comp_tasks... don't quite recall.

It would be comp_task, not just task.

Do they need to be consecutive or could I add 1000 and it'd work? I think it's only 1-20 for the siren IDs, but the sirensettings are unlimited

Will that conflict though if two DLCs each have a custom carcols, and try to define the same custom sirensetting ID?

This is the Signal Alert pattern seen in my video above: 1000 BPM, 2936057600 and 11468975

As mentioned, I tried altering the delta values, but the emmissive textures were then rotated and thus in the wrong place.

Has anybody figured out if there's a way to get a single siren to emit light in all directions? This boat model only has coronas on the "front" of the lightbar, trying to get the environmental lighting to go all directions. Tried setting lightInnerConeAngle and lightOuterConeAngle to 360, tried setting the delta of one siren to 3.14, but that ended rotating the textures for the siren as well. Looks pretty good other than the issue of not having environmental lighting in all directions.

With the changes coming in RPH that LMS mentioned that'll be less of an issue, as it'll be possible to create a custom flash pattern for each vehicle.

WHO CALLED IT! Seriously though, very excited for this development, and looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.
