If you're having compatibility issues while using RDE and LSPDFR, do the following:
 
Create a clean game folder. One without any plugins or modifications. That also means no Rage Plugin Hook. If you don't have a backup, you'll have to download and install the game again, or manually remove all your modifications. Just make sure you actually have removed everything.
 
Now make sure the game is up to date and launches without any issues. If you're using steam, launch it through steam.
 
Install the ASI loader and OpenIV.asi through the OpenIV ASI Manager. Then install ScripthookV, ScripthookVDotNet, and the RDE oiv file. When building the oiv file, I've found that selecting the custom files for LSPDFR-related modifications does not work, and because of that I'll tell you how to add them manually further down.
 
Please note that selecting files for CopHolster or Simple Native Trainer does work, but that you'll have to install these mods later without overwriting these files. Keep that in mind.
 
Now make sure the game launches without any issues, and that RDE works. Again, if you're using steam, launch it through steam.
 
From there, go ahead and add LSPDFR and Rage Plugin Hook (in that order!). Also, go into the scripts folder, and remove everything. These scripts has to do with Six Star Response, Arrest Warrant etc. and does not matter if you're playing LSPDFR. Neither are they compatible.
 
LSPDFR should launch without any issues. This time, of course, launch the game using Rage Plugin Hook. If you've made LSPDFR auto-load on launch, and it crashes on launch, please try to load it manually through the console. Hit F4 (which is the default) and type in LoadPlugin. LSPDFR should pop up as the one and only choice. My game has no problems running RDE and LSPDFR together this way, and neither should yours.
 
Now onto the LSPDFR-related files that couldn't be added automatically..
 
Install the modifications you want. Do it one by one, though, and launch the game after each time to make sure it all works. It takes time, but that's modding.
 
Find your RDE oiv file, the one you installed earlier.
 
Right click, click "Open" on the very top, and select WinRAR. If you're using 7zip instead of WinRAR, I would assume it is also compatible, however I've never used 7zip, and I truly have no idea. If it doesn't work, get WinRAR.
 
Inside the oiv, open the "content" folder.
 
Here there's 6 folders starting with "LSPDFR", followed by the specific mod the folder contains files for. You'll have to figure out where these files go yourself, however it's gonna be inside your Plugins folder somewhere. Look through the folder for the modification you're installing files for, and you'll eventually find them.
 
Please note that there are folders named "FBI" inside some of the 6 "LSPDFR" folders in your oiv. These are supposed to be used instead of the ones outside of the FBI folder if you've installed the Federal Law addon.
 
I hope you get it working, and that you can enjoy RDE agencies, departments, vehicles and peds with LSPDFR! If you're having issues, I recommend joining the RDE discord server and message us in the suggestions-support channel! Link is further up and on the RDE download page.
 
 

@11john11 Do you think you can modify the Yosemite SUV as a police unit (sine it bears a lot of resemblance to a 1989-1991 Chevrolet suburban) as well as the Uranus as a highway patrol vehicle?

Howdy,
I suppose this will be a kind of a dev diary for 3.1. As NefariousBonne has said some time ago, 3.1 will mainly be a content update, introducing new car and ped models, as well as improving existing ones. Thanks to YMT edits, peds will not only be much more varied and detailed, but also better optimized and "neat" from technical perspective. Many ped models have gotten new components, such as improved bulletproof vests, belts, and so on. Many vehicles have received improved interiors and lighting, and some other tweaks.
 
 But you all know that already. I would like to tell you about one new script feature we have been working on for some time now. 

We call it the IncidentManager. This is a new system that allows cops to call backup during shootouts with NPCs. The backup units that spawn are the same that would spawn if a player was wanted, and zone-dependent as well. Furthermore, the response type and amount will be based on the severity of the incident. Not only that, but a rudimentary chase system has been implemented, which will allow cops to dynamically chase fleeing NPCs. IncidentManager allows for very dynamic and lively shootouts, and is for all intents and purposes a Wanted Level system for NPCs. It can be turned on and off in the ini.

A small new feature is that SSR (as a whole) can be turned on and off in game by pressing a specified (configurable) key combination. With SSR disabled, you can play LSPDFR and most story missions without any compatibility problems (note: this does not fix missions that crash).

Furthermore, some advanced optimizations have been performed on the script. We hope that this will alleviate some of the performance complaints we have gotten for 3.0. 
 
3.1 has been delayed a lot, but we want to present you with finished, polished product. We continue to add new features and content daily, while testing for bugs and performance. We hope that we will be able to present RDE 3.1 to you soon.
