This is a short list that I'll be trying to keep up to date of issues we are seeing, and how you can resolve them. It's still a work in progress and we'll be adding new information as we go.
I'll seperate each category of issue in a spoiler, and you can click the spoiler to show the issues and fixes in that category.
 
Launching LSPDFR and going on duty
RAGEPluginHook / LSPDFR causes GTA to crash to desktop

LSPDFR takes too long to load and I get a black screen, or RAGEPluginHook stops it from loading (terminated because it caused the game to freeze)

LSPDFR crashes when I load with an 'STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER_1: Invalid entry point. (Code: 87)' or EasyHook error in my log file (older versions)

LSPDFR crashes when I load/reload with a 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' in my log file (older versions)

LSPDFR crashes when I go on duty

I can't go on duty with 'ForceDuty' console command and it's the first time I'm playing LSPDFR 0.4

 LSPDFR crashes on start with an SystemAccessViolation in the log and my OS language is set to Turkish (older versions)
 
LSPDFR crashes on start and my log file mentions something to do with a System.ValueTuple

LSPDFR's Pause Menu doesn't work -- only the 'Stats' menu is shown

Character System
 
My police officers don't have badges or holsters/LSPDFR only has one police outfit
 
LSPDFR Sync
 
LSPDFR Character doesn't show on the website

I can't connect to the LSPDFR Sync service

I can sync my character, but activity does not show
 
 
Controls
Problems when using a PS4 Controller
 
 
Other Plugins and Mods
Crashes whilst using LSPDFR/RPH in conjunction to Scripthook V .NET (Event Viewer shows a c00000fd Error)

An LSPDFR update has been released and now my plugins don't work
 
Other Issues
 
The game world starts to disappear when I go on duty or load LSPDFR

Due to an issue detecting the Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable, RPH does not start on arm64 systems/VMs (e.g. Macs with VMware/Parallels)

The RPH console is blank (F4 menu does not display), and I have a 4xxx or 5xxx series NVIDIA card

Can't wait to see your vids again ;)

Simply put, they use parts and lights that aren't really high poly and well optimized. 
 
 
 
Nope, that is totally wrong. That is just exporting all the lods except the highest (L0). Op's question is how people make models with lots of lights and equipment and at the same time, the models aren't really high poly.
And, so you know, the proper way to export a model is:
 
Well, I'll link to the actual topic, since there is important information you didnt include, besides the fact you didnt credit or link to the forum topic.
https://www.modding-forum.com/guide/1-lod-models/

most use part that are already small poly or you can use the optimize tool in zmodeler, warning, this doesnt always work the best and takes practice, id suggest using a separate copy
 
heres an exert from an  forum on line 
Using ZModeler's Optimize Mesh tool
You select a group of polygons (or even the whole model) and use the Modify > Submesh > Optimize polygonal mesh tool. You can experiment with the settings to see which result is the best.
 
 

This option is a lot faster than welding, however depending on the geometry, the result might not look the way you expected it. It's possible that the normals are wrong afterwards. In that case, it is recommend to lower the polygon count manually.

As @Echooo & others already pointed out, we are already very close to releasing it to the public and are just doing some refining. Right now we will be contacting a few developers to ask if they want to implement PR support into their plugins. This is crucial because when PR releases a lot of plugins might need an update to add compatibility.

Hey,
 
with the GTA V 3521 build, I downloaded the lastest lspdfr patch 3521 on this website. But, meanwhile, Scripthook plugin has not been updated yet, so I cannot launch the game anymore due to a fatal error.
 
I managed to downgrade back to 3504 build but I need a version of LSPDFR from the same patch -> 3504. If anybody could give me the archive, that would solve my problem.
 
Thanks

MessageBoards has nothing to do with animations in anyway.  Thats just impossible. 

Uh huh............. "Not sure why this is causing it yet I'm gonna blame them anyway." Makes total sense. Dawg I have run with this mod and without this mod. I will always run into this issue. Likely case is it's something either in the base game scripting itself. OR it's in one of the essentially required mods like SHVDNET or HeapAdjuster idk. But I myself can confirm it is NOT MessageBoards. Womp womp try again. 

it is not my mod, stop tryna blame other creators who has nothing to do with the problem. 

I'm seeing a new trend of plugins including ini parser to manage their config files. Thing is, RPH has it's own system to handle this. Using ini parser is absolutely not needed.
If you are one of those devs reading this, I will show how you can use RPH's system instead.

First, make a simple static file such as Settings.cs in your project. In this settings file you will manage everything to do with the config, and it's pretty darn simple.
I personally suggest making it static because in my own personal use case I find it better to never be instantiated. Inside this class:
 
 
Simply make a bunch of public/internal declarations for the values you want. Create a LoadSettings() and optionally a SaveSettings() method. Initialize the ini file. You want to use its path. Most common is in the same path as the dll. (This requires the Rage import!) Example: 
Assign the values and set the defaults. You can use IntelliSense to see what is what in the ini.* Example:


First string is the section name, and the second is the key name. You can have multiple keys per section. Example:


The third option is the default value. This is important because if the file is missing, or broken it will use the default value.  
That's it for reading an ini file. All you do now is run the LoadSettings() in your main class when the plugin is loaded and it will set all of the variables to their corresponding ini value. Since the class is static, and the values are internal or public you can access them anywhere in your plugin and the value will always be correct.

You can optionally edit an ini file. It's pretty much the same. You initialize the file, then you write instead of read. Here is how it can look:


In this case, you can actually set those values you made in the Settings.cs and when you run the method, it will save them to the ini file. It's the exact same as reading the ini except in reverse.

Here is how the important parts of my settings file look:


That's it! Now we load the ini at startup by running your new load method. My example:


And now those settings are loaded! Keep in mind you can run this method at anytime, so if you have a button or console command to reload the config, you can! It works live.
Here is how you can access the setting in your code:

 

Hello Ciano,
 
Thank you once again for your response. I'll try to be as direct as possible to avoid any confusion.
 
Currently, in the technological landscape, there are various problems with hacker attacks occurring, which reinforces the need for care with the protection of each operating system. A simple breach can generate a complete list of vulnerabilities, even if hidden.
 
To provide greater security and understanding to the users of LSPDFR, it would be beneficial to offer a detailed explanation of each file: how it works, what programming languages are used, possible false positives due to its behavior, and how to resolve any issues that arise. We don't want just the same old answers, but rather clear and transparent responses, similar to a medication leaflet.
 
My goal is to help, repeat, I am an enthusiast of this mod and appreciate it a lot, as well as respect the work of each team member.  Do you understand now?

Dear LCPDFR community members,
 
I am new to this community and, like everyone else, a great admirer of this beautiful and fun MOD. However, I would like to share some observations regarding the current version of LSPDFR .exe, dated February 25. I conducted several tests using sandboxing tools such as VirusTotal, File Scan, and Hybrid Analysis, among others. All tests indicated that the LSPDFR .exe file was identified as potentially malicious.
 
I believe it is important to provide clear information on these issues to ensure user satisfaction. I value the dedicated work of the developers and hope we can clarify these detections.
 
I would like to request a more detailed and explained response from those responsible.
 
Thank you for your attention, and I hope you have positively understood my concerns and those of thousands of players worldwide who enjoy this gameplay.

Colleague, I am a fan of this LSPDFR mod. I posted this publication and tried to contact you via DM, but your responses did not address my questions.
 
The LSPDFR mod is globally recognized and used by players around the world. Due to the history with these possible false positives verified by the community, a more direct and informative explanation is ideal. What I want is just information, not robotic answers.
 
I kindly and respectfully request that you provide more enlightening details, please.
 
● To ensure a better understanding of the seriousness of the issue, I kindly request that you conduct your own test with the .exe file on the following site: [Hybrid Analysis] (https://hybrid-analysis.com/). 
 
Thank you for the understanding of everyone who forms this beautiful team!

Hi, since today's update i cant hop onto gta because i get this error. Ive tried installing the newest version of shv but it doesnt work. Any help or do we just have to wait for an update

Hi!
A few month ago I played with the LSPDFR, and everything worked normal. But a few days ago, I installed the latest version of the LSPDFR, and during the startup, the LSPDFR crashed, and I got a messege from my Anti-virus saying: Threats detected. I checked it and I have seen the worst. I got a Trojan virus. It's not possible that it is a false warning, because a lot of my file got damaged. Please remove it from the file! I really would like to play again!

Thanks for the help

Not sure if this already exists in some form, but I thought it would be helpful to some new/aspiring developers.  Helpful feedback/suggestions welcome.

Not gonna lie, there's a part of me that wants to update my plugins to help encourage people to stay away from this sort of thing.  I'll see how I feel as the weekend approaches, but no promises!

You're asking the wrong people.
 
 

Looking into the recent upstream changes of Invision Community, the software the site is based upon, they added a sort by on upload date/time for screenshots. Previously I'm assuming there was no explicit sort order, so perhaps this change was made to make the order at least consistent.
 
There's definitely a need for being able to order the screenshots better, and I'll have a look at this.
