After discovering the way BejoIjo coded his modifications (see here for more information), I have decided to not update Ultimate Backup from this point forward. This is simply, an unnecessary way of coding modifications, and it is unreliable using plugins that can stop working at the press of a button (aka kill switch). No plugin new or old has any reason to have a server that forces checks or requires an internet connection that would disable it if it does not meet its expectations. Plugins are normalized requiring an internet connection, but coding a plugin to enable a disable functionality is ridiculous. That aside, I want to replace Ultimate Backup's functions to continue this modification's functionally allowing you to call traffic stop backup, canine backup, and more. Unfortunately, many plugins that are used for backup functionality do not implement EUP ped capabilities which this modification relies on, however, I will try to find one to keep this modification going strong regardless of the obstacles that may come.- 937 comments

The way BejoIjo coded his modifications, he can force disable his modifications (including paid versions of Patreon). This is done through the checker that runs in his modifications. If there is a failure to establish the connection to the server, he could shut it off regardless. It's common for modifications to require an internet connection, but the fact BejoIjo can disable the plugin functionally is concerning. This is referred to as a "kill switch". I have used his plugins for many years but discovering he codes his modifications this way makes me want to consider putting his plugins in the recycle bin. TLDR: If you can’t connect to the internet, if you’re on an old version, or simply if the server host is down the plugin will be disabled. This situation in retrospect is sketchy. He adds a checker capable of disabling functionally and then takes an extended leave of absence from the modding community. Who truly knows how long his coding had these functionalities? It's not one I trust anymore. Time to find an alternative plugin to play LSPDFR I suppose.

I'm not sure. I tried editing peds.ymt, but it crashed my game. I edited mp free mode peds to use cop walk styles and animations, but I couldn't get it to work.

You can make zones and custom regions (covered in the link above), but Paleto Bay/Grapeseed doesn't exist in EUP. Although, it would rather be easier just replacing the sheriff/sheriff2 slots since BCSO patrols there anyway.

By default LSPD spawns there with police/police2 under KOREAT (Little Seoul). Also, I didn't realize you were referring to ambient units as I thought it was an Ultimate Backup issue. Sorry about that. You can reference zones here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/wiki/lspdfr/04/modding/doc/zone/

When you spawn police4 does it work with the custom car? Odds are OpenIV just doesn't see it in-game somehow.

You can add a new section in the special units xml for Ultimate Backup like this. Then change your uniform/vehicle settings. In the default backup menu, in the agency eup file it would look like this. You can change what uniforms/vehicles are spawned here also. You can add this as a new section. Also, those Merryweather uniforms look newer, and my modification doesn't support paid versions of EUP. I won't be making configurations of new EUP updates until they are public.

If you have policeb setup as a normal car slot you could simply rename the existing uniform/vehicle settings to what you want or simply edit them out of the configuration files. Agency EUP in the custom data folder is for the default backup menu and ambient units. Ultimate Backup default regions under policeb is where you also find the motor unit settings.

Any updates, OP?

6.3 will be the latest version for the next while. I'll be making new preview thumbnails and trailers for San Andreas Ultimate Backup [EUP] Complete Edition, so don't mind if you see it being updated when it's just new preview content.

'Excellent Creativity' I'm a huge fan of cinematics, and using this animation mod will help my photography be greater. These are great animations and will be a huge factor in how I create my media and thumbnails in the future. Thanks for sharing your files!- 19 comments

I recommend posting your issue on the forum. I swept through the files multiple times and do not see what you are referring to. I wish I could help, but there is nothing on my end that you're reporting for me to able to fix.

I just checked, went through EUP menu and cross-checked the files, but it appears to be fine for me. It would make sense if I put the wrong number for the jacket, but since you stated they have no torso either, that's a different issue. If you already reinstalled LSPDFR, EUP, and Ultimate Backup, with no results, I'm afraid I don't have an explanation for your issue. Sorry bud.

I browsed through the duty selection menu and Coroner didn't appear to be broken for me, but I did find issues with other female uniforms. Not sure how, but strangely enough, it's mostly been female uniforms that had issues as opposed to male ones. As for SAHP Air Support, they are readily available in the duty backup menu under the SAHP agency, and in Ultimate Backup as "Air SAHP SWAT Backup". Maybe you just didn't see it?
