LCPD First Response (LCPDFR) - GTA4
Version 1.1 - Legacy Edition: ONLINE SERVICES
As part of ongoing discussions around the future of LCPDFR, we've decided to revive LCPDFR Online Services and have started the process of bringing these services up to date for the latest iteration of the website.
At the moment, you can track the same statistics as you previously were able to all those years ago with the initial online services enabled releases of LCPDFR. These include, but are not limited to:
Arrests made
Tickets issued
Times backup / NOOSE units / helicopter units
and much more.
Old statistics have also been imported into the new implementation and are available.
Leaderboards and live activity may arrive in a future website update, depending on usage and time constraints.
Viewing your own, or someone else's LCPDFR statistics
You can view a user's statistics by loading their LCPDFR.com profile page.
For your own profile, the easiest way to get there is to click your user name at the top right of the site, then clicking Profile.
Then to see their LCPDFR statistics, hit the 'LCPDFR Online Services' tab. Only users with LCPDFR Online Services collected data will show a 'LCPDFR Online Services' tab.
By default, your LCPDFR statistics are shared publicly on your profile page. If you'd like to make them private, you can do so by selecting 'Edit Profile' on your profile page, scrolling down to the 'LCPDFR Online Services (GTA4) Legacy Settings' section and ensuring your 'Hide your Crime Statistics' box is ticked.
Linking your LCPDFR installation to LCPDFR Online Services
To link your installation to LCPDFR Online Services and start viewing your data on LCPDFR.com, you need to follow these simple steps:
Obtain your API key
LCPDFR Online Services uses a unique key to link your installation to your LCPDFR.com account.
The process for obtaining this has changed. For security reasons, you can no longer use the built-in Diagnostics Tool to link your installation.
Instead, visit lcpd.fr/legacypair whilst logged in to the LCPDFR.com website. You'll see your API key on this page, it looks like this:
In this case, your API key would be: 123e4567-e89b-42d3-a456-556642440000. Make sure the key is 'activated', if it's not, you can regenerate your key using the 'Regenerate' button.
Modify your LCPDFR.ini file to include the API key
You then need to copy the key from the previous step into your LCPDFR.ini file.
Open your LCPDFR.ini file, this can be found in your LCPDFR folder which is a subfolder inside your GTA IV fodler. For steam users, you can commonly find this in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\LCPDFR".
Inside your LCPDFR.ini file, you'll find the [Networking] section.
Add the your key from the above step at the end of the APIKey=, so it looks like this:
Play LCPDFR like normal!
Whilst your play LCPDFR, what you do is tracked by LCPDFR and sent to LCPDFR Online Services. You can then find your statistics on your profile page. Please note that it may take up to 30 minutes to see your statistics on your profile page.
