I personally had a lot of texture loss with 0.4 and i already disabled preloading models and lowered graphics from ultra to high, and texture loss still happens. My PC is well capable of running gta in ultra with 60+ fps and i have no other lspdfr mods installed. I feel like texture loss happens after a car chase or shootout where the units were not deleted and were spread across the map which causes texture loss, and  also  theres a bug where AI cops have their siren running after police chase even tho the lights are off which seems to be impactful to performance

Will you be able to put 0.3.1 up for download as most plugins currently support that and 0.4 doesn't run on some people's computers at the minute?

Hi everyone, it's your beloved Community Manager here.
 
I'd like to quickly thank everyone who applied for Community Moderator in November - we got 4 times more applications this time than last time! There were a lot of good ones in there and it was tough to just pick out a few, but we managed to narrow it down. With that, please join me in welcoming @0taku and @WillUnderscore to the LSPDFR Community Team. They'll be starting out as Junior Community Moderators, which is considered their training phase. After that, they will be global Community Moderators like the rest of the team.
 
We are also welcoming @c13 back into his old position as Community Moderator after a hiatus due to work.
 
Again, thanks to all who applied, especially those who took the time to speak with us. We hope to bring additional staff in once everyone is settled into their new positions.

I'm leaving my computer, LCPDFR, & ZModeler... To unwind from working on models and this community.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So I'm gonna make a sandwich. Brb in 10 minutes. It's 2am, I'm tired and wanted to bring some humor up of the retirement/leaving posts.

I personally find them a bit of an unnecessary eyesore -- I haven't seen one that looks particularly nice on a forum.
 
I get that it does provide a sense of 'community spirit' though. We are potentially thinking about opening our private Discord server up to the public at some point, which I think people would prefer rather than a shoutbox.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an application to join our team.  We've now begun reaching out to people whose applications stood out and subsequently piqued our interest and hope to follow up with these people over the coming week.
 
As I said above, we received many more applications than we had anticipated - a lot more than last time - so, while we'll still try to do so, are unlikely to be able to provide individual feedback to everyone that applied.

We'll be closing the application forms to join the team on Monday.  Far more applications than we anticipated were received, so it may take a little time to look through them all, but we hope to start contacting people by the end of next week.

It ain't being a dirty cop if it enhances your experience. 😛

Some of you might remember my Paperwork++, or even the earlier PaperworkPlus. I made both of these a while ago now (as educational projects). Now I've got some actual development experience under my belt, I'm looking at developing a web application (and sticking with it). What I'd like to know, is what kind of web application you'd like to see! I am open to desktop development, but would prefer something web-based.
 
The idea behind the application would be to connect users, but without needing them to join any kind of community. Now, it would be nice to have something like an MDT, or CAD, but the driving force behind applications like these is based on the idea of community. I'd still be open to making one (perhaps where users can generate sessions and distribute invite links), but would like to know what kind of ideas people have.
 
I'm not too fussed if its already been done, or whether someone looks at this thread and does this themselves, I'd just like to make something.
 
One thing I won't do is anything monetized or anything that requires users to give something in return for membership. 

With all the talk about LSPDFR 0.4, it's been a little while since we've provided a general update on our community.  Of course, LSPDFR 0.4 is our main priority at the moment and we'll have more to say about it shortly, but we thought it important to also address and announce a couple of things regarding our community.
 
What our Community stands for
 
Before anything else, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on who we are, as people that run this website, and as a community.
 
LCPDFR was founded, back in 2009, simply because I thought it'd be a fun thing to do.  To play as the police in GTA IV.  It was an idea, ambitious for its time, and nothing more.  I worked on LCPDFR because it was fun, I published it because I thought others might also enjoy it.  LCPDFR has come a long way since then, it has evolved from one person's topic on a forum, to its own website, to its own forum, to its own community.  We've spanned two games, our reach has grown massively, our community is approaching 300,000 registered members.  The amount of work that goes into developing LSPDFR alone is staggering - the time that we've spent on it is measured not in days, weeks or months, but years.  Likewise, the effort required to keep our website online is vastly underestimated - in the past month we've served around 30 terabytes of download traffic alone, and have done all of this despite persistent, targeted denial of service and hacking attacks against us.  To put this in context, if you were to serve 30 terabytes of data through Amazon Web Services, it'd cost you $3,000 a month - and that's just one month of download traffic. 
 
Why do we do this?  Because it's fun.  We love developing our community, we love developing our mod, and we love that other people - complete strangers, from all over the world, from countries you've probably never heard of, from all walks of life... we love that they love LSPDFR.  Our community has achieved incredible things: we've created an entire gaming phenomenon and we've developed things that nobody ever thought would be possible.  Our members have done more than simply play games or make mods: we've fought hand-in-hand against corporate giants (and won), we've transformed peoples' entire lives by sparking new careers and we've been covered everywhere from massive YouTube channels to mainstream media publications.  Heck, we've even triggered out of touch government ministers in Australia.
 
That's not the whole story, though.  Sometimes we are the story.  Sometimes we make mistakes.  We've had catastrophes, like the time where we had a hyped countdown on the website only to reveal a private testing version of LCPDFR that nobody could access.   Our first ever livestream had to be rescued by Steve and Jeff after it started with Prophet driving a train around Los Santos and infamously stating "this is not the preview for LSPDFR 0.3" while our community manager could do nothing but watch helplessly after being accidentally disconnected.  We've messed up releases, we've announced things too quickly, and sometimes we've not announced things at all.   
 
Yet, despite all of this.  Nine years later, we're still here.  We're still making mods, we're still developing this community, and we've stuck true to our principles the entire time:
Our community is open to all. We treat members equally regardless of their status. Everything is completely free of charge, with no catches.  
Why?  It's not about fame, it's not about money, it's not about status.  It's about love.  We love LCPDFR, we love LSPDFR, and we love our community.  We don't think that modding should be hidden in private Discord servers.  We don't think that modding should be something people pay for.  We don't think that modding should be an ego boost.
 
We just think that modding should be fun.  It should be open, and it should be free.  That's what we stand for, and that's what we do.
 
How you can get involved
 
Last year, we opened up applications to join our Community Team for the first time.  This resulted in a couple of new faces joining our moderation team and upon reflection, we think it's a good change in approach from previously handpicking staff members ourselves.  We've decided to open these applications again, and would invite anyone who is interested in volunteering some of their free time to moderating our community to apply by following the link below.  Our volunteer Community Moderators are a vital part of everything that we do, and it wouldn't be possible to maintain the community without them.

Hello, I feel like the callouts in GTA are pretty repetitive. I feel as though that if we create some more callout packs that don't just involve pursuits will be a lot more interesting for our games, especially 0.4 is coming soon, which is already bringing quite the amount of realism to being a real cop. Here are my ideas:
 
Stolen Dog
- Someone has reported their dog has gone missing, and has a possible verdict.
 
DMV (disabled motor vehicle)
- A civilian has reported that there is a vehicle in which was disabled and requested the police to come investigate. Outcomes: the driver was sleeping, there was a bug in the car that the driver is afraid of, purely misunderstanding, or when you walk up to the car, you'll smell a strong scent of marijuana, and the suspect is found smoking.
 
Large House Fire
- A home has caught on fire and the Fire Department needs police backup to secure the scene and make sure everyone is safe.
 
Domestic Dispute
- 2 neighbors who had grudges against each other have been arguing about a certain issue regarding one of their items and needs assistance handling the situation.
 
Underage smoking/drinking/vaping spotted
- A civilian in their home have reported they saw some teenagers who look underage have been drinking/smoking/vaping, and wants an officer to come investigate.
 
Suspicious person in neighborhood
- A neighborhood watch volunteer has reported someone crouching behind houses and checking the place out. During the officer being enroute, it is reported that the suspect has spotted the neighborhood watch person and has fled the scene, the reporter gives a description and a BOLO is called.
 
Celebrity spotted drunk in public
- A celebrity was spotted being drunk in public. It has been reported that they had urinated on the sidewalk, ran into people, and even slept on the ground for 2 minutes or so. The reporter said the paparazzi was obstructing traffic and wants an officer/deputy to come apprehend the celebrity.
 
Amber Alert BOLO spotted
- A person on the highway has reported that they have spotted a vehicle that was listed as the "Amber Alert Car." You are requested to respond to where the car was last seen, apprehend them, and you get two outcomes: The suspect pulls over, or a pursuit begins. Once caught, the child will be evacuated from the car, and checked by EMS, while the suspect is being arrested and reported.
 
Boiling Broke Attempted Attack
 
- A person has attempted to attack the boiling broke prison, and has either failed or succeeded, and a prison break was conducted or not conducted. If the suspect was killed, the officer is needed to keep things situated while the EMS/coroner handles things. Or, you're required to respond alongside other officers to try and locate the inmate and suspect.
 
Not all these ideas need to be considered but some of these I believe seem a little different than our current callouts. Thanks for reading!

LCPDFR and the Scripthook are not compatible with the recent unexpected GTA IV update. To make use of script modfications and LCPDFR again, we've compiled the following tutorial that will downgrade you to 1.0.7.0, the last version of GTA IV supported by the Scripthook.
This tutorial will work with GTA IV and GTA EFLC.
 
First, in your GTA directory, rename paul.dll to paul.original.dll. Go to this Rockstar support page and download the patch.
GTA IV: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145406--May-28-2010-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch-7-Title-Update-v-1-0-7-0-English-1-0-6-1-Russian-1-0-5-2-Japanese-
GTA EFLC: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145386-Grand-Theft-Auto-Episodes-from-Liberty-City-Title-Update-1-1-2-0-Patch-2- Extract the ZIP file to a new folder somewhere in your computer and run UpdateTitle.exe or (EFLC) setup.exe. After patching is complete, rename paul.dll to paul.old.dll. Rename paul.original.dll to paul.dll. Launch GTA IV. If all has went well, your GTA IV has been downgraded.

I possibly couldn't think what has started this...
don't wanna get banned for 'hate speech' though

How about a character limit? Make it so reviews can't be shorter than 50 characters, or something like that. It'd stop users from just posting "Good", "Cool", "Nice" and that sorta thing.

Time for another update on Coastal Callouts progress! 
Training callout has been updated and improved to help new users. Vastly improved the handling of the 47' Motor Lifeboat. It's both more realistic and more fun to drive now! Planning to work on the Response Boat Medium handling more at some point too.  @SkylineGTRFreak did some great work recently with updating the aircraft models - the C-130 fleet has been updated with better LODs and model quality, 3 variants (C-130J, C-130H, and EC-130V), and I even created a USCG Aviation Centennial livery for the C-130H. The Jayhawk got updated to be multi-livery, got a new and improved spotlight, FLIR camera, better rescue basket model, and an Aviation Centennial livery as well. The Dolphin got a new spotlight and FLIR too, and some improvements to the UV mapping.  I finally figured out what was causing the reflection material glitch on the Defender boat, and Skyline remodeled a portion to fix that.  Skyline also modeled a new stokes litter basket, and I've set it up to work with the rescue hoist. It looks way better than the old one!  I've done a ton of bug fixes and performance improvements to the core script.  I'm almost done making a new Yacht on Fire callout.  Some important things left to do: 
I still need to make a custom installer. That's going to be quite a bit of work, but will make the user experience much smoother for public release.  I still need to add and clarify information provided to the user during rescue callouts to make them less confusing.  I'd like to add at least three more callouts before release: something involving a downed plane, something involving pirates, and some sort of mountain rescue. I might also do one involving the new submarine added in the Doomsday DLC.  Over all, progress was a bit slow over the holidays as I was quite busy spending time with friends and family. Development has picked up more lately though and I'm looking forward to a release sometime later this year (although I don't know exactly when yet). In the meantime, enjoy a few screenshots: 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Apologies that I haven't said much here! To all the British followers, keep your eyes peeled for some brand new skins for the boats! :D 

Cannot wait for this! Brings a lot more realism into the game, in such as not shooting everyone that is a threat, but going for a less lethal method to get that arrest!

This is going to end well.

Hi everyone!
Now, you're probably wondering who I am! Well my name is Markey and I  create skins for GTA. I am happy to announce I am currently working alongside Parks to get a certain batch of skins completed. For countries outside of Europe, or more specifically the UK, this will not mean much to you. 
 
However I am very happy to announce I am creating the official British aspect of Coastal Callouts! 
I aim for a release alongside the official coastal Callouts, however nothing is set in stone as of now. I will likely release a few unrelated skins in the upcoming week as examples of my work, but yet again nothing is set in stone.
 
If you have any requests for any British skins for Coastal Callouts, just pop them down below and I will aim to answer all of them and possibly complete some!
 
Anyway, here are a few screenshots for you to enjoy!
 
Apologies for how zoomed out they are, will get some better pictures for another date :D 
 
Please note that all skins are WIP and do not represent the final product. Also note that these skins are Semi-realistic. Due to lack of resources and models, these skins are loosly based off of their real life counterparts.

They threatened legal action against us for our members pointing out they were using pirated software for their forum. You can guess my opinion based on that.

Cannot wait for this! Brings a lot more realism into the game, in such as not shooting everyone that is a threat, but going for a less lethal method to get that arrest!
