I've already thought about this, it would be great indeed!

I totally agree with you on that! The problem is, as I mentionned earlier, that many of the native features of LSPDFR had to be scrapped in order for BejoIjo's plugins to work. Just to mention a few: all the awesome animations G17 made when you placed someone in the back of a car, frisked them, arrested them or held them by the arm, the stats (arrests made, persons frisked, and tickets issued with STP don't register into your stats, which is a damn shame), and so much more.. I don't blame BejoIjo for that.. I just find it very unfortunate that you have to scrap some of this great stuff in order to reach more depth. Oh, and.. G17 showed multiple times that they weren't very supportive of BejoIjo's work, so I don't think that's what they wanted (i.e., his plugins becoming essential and keeping LSPDFR alive).

I know, this may sound a bit dramatic, but I can't help but wonder why the enormous potential of this mod seems to be going to waste. LSPDFR was initially released in 2015, which was 6 years ago.. but still, it lacks so many features compared to LCPDFR, of which the last version, version 1.1, was also released 6 years after its initial release. It feels as though LSPDFR has great, very polished foundations, but no "house" to give it a purpose. We have a great characters system, awesome appartements, some very polished animations and police related functions, but.. ultimately, they're all very situational. LCPDFR had "complex" traffic stops with multiple dialogue options, partners, a hardcore mode, an interesting variety of callouts, lightning control and even an integrated ALPR system! All of this made LCPDFR a very interesting and fun experience! Sure, you can rely on plugins like BejoIjo's or Rich's (love your stuff man) to fill that empty space but it often means you have to scrap some of those great but limited functions I was mentionning earlier to make it all work, like in BejoIjo's case. Anyways, I guess my main point is.. isn't it time to change focus and to actually start to create gameplay value on top of those great foundations we have? And to be clear, I'm not criticizing the frequency of updates nor the investement of the devs in this project, which is more than sufficient in my book (we're all adults, we have more going in our lives than just video games), but the way development seems to focus (in my opinion, as always) on less important features.

Hey, @Cyan! Still planning on adding that function? 😋

That's great to hear! Thank you!

The problem with this solution is that not every plugin includes the possibility to disable individual callouts in their .ini files. And you can't disable the native callouts either. What I suggest is a way to do it directly in game, "on the fly" if I may say so (via a menu or a command). There's a tab in the LSPDFR menu listing all the active callouts recognized by LSPDFR ; we could directly interact with it to disable or enable the callouts we wish to use or not use for our patrol of the day. That would offer us a real "flexibility" in regard of what we want to do during our playing session, you know? Could be awesome. For example.. You go in game and you decide to go on a.. SAHP patrol. Well you could directly disable all the non-traffic related callouts in the menu! The same could apply for SWAT patrols, foot patrols, bicycle patrols and so on.

Hi, just a little suggestion. It could be nice to have the possibility (through an In Game menu maybe) to disable specific callouts recognized by LSPDFR (including the native "store robberies" callouts). It could allow us, for example, to go on a SWAT patrol without receiving traffic related callouts, and so on. That would really allow us to tailor our experience for each patrol!

"Brotherhood"

There it is, under the "Parameters" section. It will not take over the arrests made by yourself using the vanilla functions of LSPDFR anymore, though (when maintaining the "E" key). You'll have to use the double clic to access STP. Well... I think so anyway ! 🤔

Hello ! There's an option in the STP .ini file's named "take over all arrests" or something similar that you can disable, if I'm not wrong.

I would advise you to mainly use BejoIjo's plugins, and to only download the most recently updated plugins on the LSPDFR's website. Also, avoid Albo's plugins. They haven't been updated for a while and cause huge performance issues - at least for me -. My FPS would go down to 20 when using Albo's plugins, and i'm running a GTX 1080 ! 🤪 Trust me, you might be surprised, i also struggled alot with the FPS.

Very nice, love the new animations ! Keep it up as always ! 👍

EDIT 21 December : problem fixed. It was the antivirus. Hello ! I have a strange issue with recurring crashes happening just a few seconds after i get into the game. It only happens when LSPDFR is installed. I have no other mod installed. Here are my RPH logs :
