Bear82

Hello everyone,

I just want to say thank you for sticking with us through the biggest site update we’ve ever rolled out. Last year’s launch didn’t go as smoothly as we’d hoped and we know there have been some issues along the way, so we really appreciate your patience and feedback. It’s helped us get to a much stronger place moving forward.
Now that things have stabilised a bit, today we’re launching a bunch of new features and changes that we think you’re going to love.
Discovery: Tag Filters
The whole point of our tag system has always been discovery. You’ve been able to click into tags and explore everything connected to them, but proper filtering on category pages was missing.

That’s now changed.
You can now explore and filter by tags directly on category pages, with the system built to expand much further over time.
To start, we’ve added brand, country, and year filters to vehicle pages, along with a “Made with AI” filter on script pages.

You can now filter by Brand, Country and Year on Vehicle pages.

A small change on the surface, but a big step toward making discovery faster, cleaner, and far more useful across the platform.
Discovery: Site Wide Tag Exclusions
To give you even more control over what you see on LCPDFR.com, we’re introducing account-level, site-wide tag exclusions.
Any files matching the tags you choose to exclude will be hidden across the site — including the downloads portal, download feeds, trending and featured sections, and search results.

The tag filtering controls, now available in Account Settings. In this example, files tagged as outdated are being hidden.


The downloads category page, showing 1 active account tag filter and 34 files hidden as a result of excluding the outdated tag.

Whether you want to hide AI-generated work, certain vehicle types, specific countries, or even particular vehicle years, we hope this system helps you fully customize how you browse content on LCPDFR.com.

Note: We're aware of an issue of going to Account Settings, then navigating to Downloads Filters will not load the tag box correctly and we're working to fix it. Refreshing the page if the tag box doesn't load will workaround this for now.

Site Experience: Thanking Creators
As a thank you to our creators and contributors, we’ll be removing external advertisements for community members who are actively engaging with the community.

The exact criteria may evolve over time, as our community contributes in many different ways. Whether you're helping new members with questions, uploading mods, or simply being an active part of the site, we want to recognize and reward those contributions.

For creators who share their mods with the LCPDFR.com community, ads will be removed once you reach 1,000 verified unique downloads.

For all other members, ads will be removed once you achieve the Sergeant rank (1,000 community points). Our rank system awards points for a variety of community activity, including forum posts, gallery uploads, comments and reviews (+1), giving or receiving reputation (+1), gaining followers (+2), and more.

This change is going live today, though it may take some time after reaching the requirements for the benefit to be applied to your account. Logging in and out if you meet the criteria may help this apply sooner. We also plan to add a way for members to track their progress toward these thresholds in the future.

This is one small way we can give back to the creators and community members who help make the site what it is.

Developer: API
Our old API has started to show its age and wasn’t really built with the growth of the website in mind.

Historically, we’ve had to handle security on LCPDFR.com in some fairly unique ways. While we want to discourage automated traffic, serving an API directly from our main website domain meant we also had to keep certain protections less aggressive than we would’ve liked.

The API has been moved onto its own dedicated infrastructure, allowing us to properly monitor usage, apply separate security procedures, and relax some of the harsher caching behaviour that existed previously.

We’ve also adopted the more standard approach of enforcing API keys across the new API. This allows us to better track usage, apply limits where necessary, and manage access more effectively. API keys are issued in line with our new API Guidelines, which outline acceptable usage and restrictions around commercial use.

There are currently two key types available:
Version Check Keys — designed for embedding into your own plugins, primarily for update and version checking.
Full API Keys — provide broader access to the API, including mass file listings, extended file metadata (such as tags), .NET assembly data, and more.
Full API keys require approval. We may contact you with questions about your intended usage. Both full and limited API keys require an active LCPDFR.com account that has been active for at least one week.

You can request API keys in your Account Settings.

You can see usage limits, documentation and regenerate your key from Account Settings.


With the new downloads listing API, you can list up to 10,000 files at once. Full documentation available in Account Settings with an issued key.

Overall, this new API infrastructure gives us a far more scalable and maintainable foundation moving forward. Separating the API from the main website allows us to improve security, reliability, and performance without impacting the experience of regular community members on LCPDFR.com.

We’ll be deprecating the old API in stages.
Effective today, the old version check API endpoint (checkForUpdates) will no longer be available for newly submitted files. All remaining endpoints, apart from checkForUpdates, will be turned off on 1 June.
We understand that deprecating checkForUpdates may cause issues for some plugins. We plan to phase this out later this year in stages and with planned brownouts and will share more details in the API forum closer to the time.
We’re not stopping there, either.

While these updates are a big step forward for discovery, customization, and the overall site experience, we already know where we want to focus next, on search.

The truth is, we’ve largely outgrown the search system our current software provides. It was never really built for our mod heavy platform with this much content, this many tags, and the kind of discovery features we now want to support properly.

Because of that, search is probably going to involve a lot more custom work from us moving forward. Better relevance, smarter filtering with the new options announced above, and a generally cleaner experience are all things we want to improve over time.

As always, we do appreciate your feedback. We try to guide LCPDFR.com based on what the community wants, alongside the areas where we feel we can improve and do better ourselves.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone use these new features, and we’re excited to keep improving the platform alongside the community that makes it what it is.

Cyan.

We started a fix today, and we're processing the backlog of unscanned files.

There's been an issue with it recently, it's on my list of things to fix.

Thank you for the information, it's working!

Note: There is a reply below this post that is just as helpful, make sure you read that!
 
There are so many car mods out there that it's frustrating when you can only have a certain amount in game (as replacements), and have to keep switching between all the ones you like or just want to try.  This text-based tutorial aims to teach you how to install cars as a add-on/standalone!  Please note, this tutorial does not cover add-on cars that have their own dlcpack.
 
Quick notes before you begin.
 
* You must use a mods folder!!! For information on how to use this, click here. (OpenIV website)
 
* Mpchristmas2 is just my preference for standalone cars.  Some people use other DLCs such as mpluxe.
 
* There is a standalone car limit.  If you exceed yours, download this gameconfig for unlimited add-ons.  NOTE:  I have not personally tested this one, back up your gameconfig before installing!!!
 
* All standalone cars must have a vehicles.meta and carvariations line!  Otherwise it will not work properly.
 
* Handling.meta, YMT edits, etc are all optional, you do not need to edit anything else aside from the vehicles.meta and carvariations for the car to work.
 
 
1) In OpenIV, navigate to mods-->update-->update-->common-->data-->levels-->gta 5, and extract "vehicles.meta" to your desktop.  I advise making a folder on your desktop named "original vehicle meta", or something similar so that way you can store these files and know exactly what they are.  You won't actually be editing this meta, but you will be taking individual meta lines from it to use for your add on cars. For example, if one car is a Dodge Charger, you'll use the police2 meta lines.  CVPI, police lines.  I don't think it truly matters in the long run which you use (aside from the handlingid needing to match the car) as long as they are similar and not completely different (IE using the meta for the Pounder)
 
2) Grab the "police" meta from this vehicle meta.  Either paste it in a notepad or just hold onto it.  Note:  If your vehicle is a non Law Enforcement vehicle, just take the meta of a similar type vehicle.
 
3) Navigate to mods-->update-->x64-->dlcpacks-->mpchristmas2-->dlc-->common-->data-->levels-->gta 5.  Extract this vehicles meta to your desktop.  Open it, and paste the meta line.  Change the modelName, txdName, and gameName to that of your add on car. 
 
4) In the vehicles.meta there is this line:  <audioNameHash />
 
Audionamehash dictates how your vehicle sounds.  If it remains <audioNameHash />, it will not have any sound.  You will change the audionamehash to whatever suits the vehicle you're installing.  So if you install a CVPI, it'll be police. There isn't a huge variety of namehashes for police vehicles.  There's no police Explorer, so you'll either end up with an Explorer that sounds like FBI2 or SHERIFF2. 
 
Note: The following only applies if you are using ELS!!!   I, however, have started using the namehashes of regular civilian vehicles.  In the case of the Explorer, I use gresley.  This means that your vehicle will sound more in tune with what you're driving.  However, this also means the in-car radio will work.  The only way to disable this is by turning the music all the way down in the settings.  As I said, there's a variety of what you can use, and I have those listed in another topic.
 
Save, and drag the edited file from your desktop back to OpenIV.
 
5) In OpenIV, press the back button twice so you see the "carvariations.meta" (mpchristmas2-->dlc-->common).  You will also need to extract and do the same thing in terms of naming it.  Change the name, save, and re-add to OpenIV.  I've included one of my carvariation lines you can use as a template for all your vehicles.  Do note a few things:  1) Some vehicles require custom carvar settings.  Most, however, will work fine with this.  2) For non police vehicles, change sirensetting to "0".  This setting is only for emergency cars.  3) <kits> deals with the mods that the car will have.  I, personally, never mod my cars, so I just ignore that. 
 
 
6) If you haven't already, download the vehicle files for the car you want, and rename them to match your add on car.
 
7 ) In OpenIV, you can either click the back button until you get back to the page with "common" and "x64" folders (mods-->update-->x64-->dlcpacks-->mpchristmas2-->dlc).  Once on this page, go to x64-->levels-->gta 5-->vehicles-->xmas2vehicles.rpf.  Click the "edit mode" button, and drag and drop the vehicle files from your desktop into OpenIV. 
 
8 ) Click "edit mode" again to turn off edit mode, and you're good to go.
 
Final notes:
 
* In the carvariations, sirensetting must be set to at least 1 for it to have siren.  There are other siren settings you can use.
 
 
* In vehicles meta, <flags> must have FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT and FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE

This topic is in our developer forum, it's for developers of RPH/LSPDFR plugins.

Since October of last year, we’ve been hard at work on a modern, refreshed redesign of LCPDFR.com. Today, we’re excited to finally share it with you.

This new version of the site isn’t just a visual upgrade. Behind the scenes, we’ve rebuilt a lot of the core systems that power LCPDFR.com – from the way pages load, to how content is organised, to the tools we’ll be able to build on top of this platform going into 2026 and beyond. We’ve also migrated our custom downloads system and several other bespoke features onto this new foundation.

This launch marks the ninth design update LCPDFR.com has had, and it’s the biggest change since our last major overhaul in 2015 – almost a decade ago.

A Fresh Look, Built for Today
The new site introduces a clean, modern interface designed to be faster, clearer and more intuitive to navigate.
Light & Dark Mode
The site now supports a fully integrated light and dark mode that follows your operating system’s preference. If you’d rather choose manually, you can toggle between themes using the control at the bottom of the site.
Redesigned Editor
Our content editor has been completely rebuilt. It’s more powerful, more responsive, and much easier to use than the previous version. Whether you’re writing mod descriptions, making posts, or writing private messages, the editing experience should feel significantly smoother.

Mods: Front and Center
Mods are at the heart of LCPDFR.com, so we’ve made sure they’re easier than ever to find and browse.
Mods First in Navigation
You’ll now see the Mods portal prominently placed as the first item in the navigation, reflecting what most visitors come here for.
New Grid-Based Layout
Mods are now presented in an expansive grid view, making it easier to scan through content, compare options at a glance, and discover new creations.

Improved Tag Browsing
Tags now play a much bigger role in helping you discover content. Clicking any tag will take you to a dedicated tag results page, where you can explore all related content in one place.



Smarter Search
Finding exactly what you’re looking for should feel quicker and more flexible.
Quicksearch with Filters
The quicksearch has been upgraded with built-in filters, including the ability to search directly by tags. This makes it easier to narrow down results and jump straight to the content you care about.

A full search overhaul is in progress, and what you see in quicksearch today is just a small preview of what’s coming.


Known Issues
As with any major platform change, there are a few rough edges we’re already aware of:
Some content pages under LSPDFR, LML, and RESOURCES may currently appear broken or incorrectly formatted. We’re actively working on fixing these layouts.
The GTA V Native Database is currently not displaying.
Some profiles are showing an error 500.
There are some issues with LSPDFR Sync, we have paused our Pateron until fully resolved.
A small amount of users may be experiencing issues with notifications.
Multiple issues reported by community members (thank you) in this thread.
Some of these have now been fixed. Please continue to report any issues you see.
Thank you for your patience while we work through these issues. Your feedback here is especially helpful, so if you spot anything else that looks off, please let us know.

What's Next and Fixes
This redesign is just the foundation for what’s coming next. With the new platform in place, we’ll be able to iterate more quickly and deliver new features faster than before. Over the next days and weeks, our main focus will be on tightening up the rough edges from this migration and fixing the issues that you might find.
Here are some of the things at the top of our list:
New API for the Mods Center
We've almost finished work on a new API for our mod center - we just have a few changes to make and we hope to share updates on this in the coming days.
Full Search Overhaul
Beyond the improvements you can already see in quicksearch, we’re planning a complete search upgrade to make finding content more accurate, more powerful, and more pleasant overall.
Visual and UX Polish
You may notice small visual quirks, spacing issues, or inconsistent elements across the site. We’re tracking these and will be rolling out incremental polish updates as we go.

This is a big milestone for LCPDFR.com, and we’re really excited to finally share it with you. Take a look around, try out the new features, and let us know what you think – your feedback will help us shape the next round of improvements.

We also hope to have some LSPDFR Enhanced news to share with you in the coming days.

Cyan.

Yes it has backup functionality like UltimateBackup & more too. PR can automatically convert UB xml configs for you so you shouldn't need to worry!

Like I said my GTA hasn’t updated. I also don’t have any pending updates as my game does them automatically upon starting RGL.

Status Updates
LSPDFR for Enhanced
We're very excited to announce that LSPDFR Enhanced, after months of development and testing, is now entering the next phase of the development process and is now available to our Insiders. We are deeply grateful to everyone in our staff team and closed testing community for their feedback and support that have brought us to this point.
 
The current build is largely stable, though a handful of bugs remain and we are not yet feature complete with Legacy. Development is advancing quickly, and each new revision brings us closer to a fully polished release.
 
Several community members have asked whether the Legacy edition will continue to receive attention. Both RAGEPluginHook and LSPDFR have been engineered to accommodate the Legacy and Enhanced branches side‑by‑side. With most of the heavy lifting complete, our goal is to roll out updates to both editions in parallel.
 
As soon as we’ve smoothed out the last few wrinkles and made sure everything runs flawlessly, we can’t wait to roll out LSPDFR Enhanced to everyone.
 
The new LCPDFR.com
Work on the redesigned LCPDFR.com is progressing steadily. The site and its companion, RDR2Mods.com, run on the same underlying codebase.
An early version of the community upgrade is already live on RDR2Mods.com, allowing us to gather real‑world feedback, refine new concepts, and further stabilize the platform before bringing the enhancements to LCPDFR.com.
 
 
We thank you all for your patience and continued enthusiasm, and hope to share even more with you soon.

Go to your root directory and delete args.txt (You can rename it aargs.txt if you don't want to delete it).

You can just search for rockstar games launcher install on the internet and download it that way.
You're a lifesaver man! Thank you so much, I have been trying to fix the issue all day.

LSPDFR & RAGE Plugin Hook Enhanced and Upcoming Site Upgrades
We're excited to share the latest updates on projects bringing LSPDFR and RAGE Plugin Hook to GTA 5 Enhanced Edition alongside refreshing our entire website - with new features, a new design and a more fluid experience.


LSPDFR & RAGE Plugin Hook Enhanced
With the recent release of Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition @LMS has been working on porting RAGE Plugin Hook. While still in its early development stages, RPH is now successfully running on the Enhanced Edition with most of the basic features working, including running small plugins and DX12 rendering. In addition, our biggest LSPDFR update ever is currently in closed-beta testing and we hope to have more news on it soon.

Below are some screenshots of these previously console-only vehicles being spawned through RPH in the Enhanced Edition.

RPH on Apple Silicon
As part of the port to the Enhanced version and DX12 support, we have streamlined some core systems, now allowing RPH and LSPDFR to run on Apple Silicon. We're still addressing performance issues and visibility concerns before considering a potential future patch.

Website Platform Update and Invision Community 5
We're in the early stages of migrating from Invision Community 4 to 5, which will transform our entire platform.
This update combines rewrites of Invision Community core features with rewrites of our own software to provide users with a faster and cleaner experience. Community members will enjoy a fresh design and responsive theme that follows your OS dark mode decision. On top of this, substantial effort across the board has been made to fix performance issues.
 
Most of the changes to our new platform are behind the scenes, but the most visible improvement you'll see, apart from the general design change, is the new editor. This new editor comes with many improvements and is easy to use. It also introduces some new features, like Content Boxes, that will make structuring mod download pages a little bit better.

We hope to provide further updates over the coming weeks and months as we prepare this for release.

Hello Bear82,
 
there is no mechanism to delete files from your downloaded file history at the moment, sorry.

@zedkaPlease refrain from posting those links again. I have already removed multiple of them. @Shwagins49ScriptHookV has not been updated yet. It was updated for the first update that happened a few days ago, but has not been updated for the lastest GTA V update that occurred about a day ago.
Locking this topic as it has been resolved and the discussion is now getting off-topic for support.

They pushed out an update today.

Hey there everyone! Was just wondering if anyone else has been having issues trying to upload new file downloads to the website. If you look at the photo attached you will be able to see what I'm talking about. If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this or why this would be happening the support would be greatly appreciated!

Finally, I have found the solution for Intimidation Mode: Under Mp_m_Freemode_01 there is a section called "FuncIntimMeshes" and after investigation this is the part for the intimidation mode, you need to put the component (teef is 7) and is drawable and TADAM! Noe everything work perfectly fine. Thanks buddy to help me out !!
 
 

Yeah, I know that too, but it would definitely help if we could tell you that the external site isn't available at the moment / or that it's working again now. Otherwise, it seems like every second query is "why isn't it working" 🙂 Thanks for your support, it's a shame that the makers of GTA are currently releasing a lot of updates that are messing everything up.

It wouldn't really belong on our homepage, as LSPDFR doesn't use it. It's not really on us that they have site issues - perhaps we can make a pinned topic or something.

Copyrighted files may not be distributed. You can find the download here.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps:
 
 

Your topic has been moved to GTA V Support, this is not LSPDFR related.
Please post in the correct location in the future.

i cannot access the scripthook v website or find anything to help find the updated download any help would be appreciated. 

Da ELS 7 auf den ersten Blick ziemlich kompliziert wirkt und es einem förmlich erschlägt mit all den Optionen und Fachbegriffen, habe ich mich dazu endschlossen einen Thread zu erstellen um die Sachen die ich schon weiß mit euch zu teilen. Dies dürfte gerade Neueinsteigern helfen (hoffe ich zumindest)
 
 Fragen zur Installation, Download und Inhalt von ELS
 
Optionen der ELS.ini
 
 
Vehicle Configuration File (VCF) - Oder "Fahrzeug Konfigurations File"
 
1. Was ist ein VCF und wofür ist es gut?
Ein VCF ist ein File, in dem steht wie sich ein Fahrzeug zu verhalten hat. Was für einen Typ Lightbar es hat, welche Farben die Umgebungseffekte der Lightbar haben und vieles mehr. Früher wurden diese Einstellungen direkt in der ELS.ini getätigt, bei ELS 7 gibt es dafür einen Eigenen Unterordner mit eigenen Files.
Das hat den Vorteil das man so entweder für jedes Fahrzeug eine eigene INI anlegen kann, oder für viele Fahrzeuge eine INI. Standartmäßig benutzen alle Fahrzeuge die selbe VCF. Das ist die "default_config.ini"
 
2. Wie erstelle ich eine VCF?
Das ist ganz einfach. Du gehst in den ELS Ordner im GTA Hauptverzeichnis und Kopierst die "default_config.ini" einfach.
Dann nennst du die Kopie um in z.B "noose.ini" oder "fbi.ini" oder in alles andere was du möchtest. Wichtig ist hierbei das im Namen keine Leerzeichen stehen und das die endung ".ini" bleibt.  Du kannst soviele VCF's erstellen wie du möchtest. Theoretisch könntest du jedem Fahrzeug eine eigene VCF machen, oder allen nur eine. Das bleibt ganz dir überlassen.
 
3. Der Inhalt einer VCF
!!! Ich muss an dieser Stelle sagen das ich selbst noch nicht alle Funktionen der VCF kenne und mich deshalb auf die Funktionen beschränke von denen ich weiß zu was sie gut sind. !!!
 
 
Zusatzanmerkungen
 
Lichttypen:
HALO: Halogen
STRB: Stroboskop (Blitzer)
TKDN: Arbeitslichter
LEDS: Selbsterklärend
ROTA: Rotierende Rundumleuchten (z.B. die klassischen Drehspiegel)
DRCT: Verkehrswarn- und leitsystem (Verkehrsleitlichter).
MARQ: LED Matrix (z.B. "STOP POLIZEI" bei deutschen Blaulichtbalken)
 
 
Dieser Post wird natürlich noch weiter erweitert und die Schreibfehler werde ich auch irrgendwann verbessern xD
Aber ich denke für den Anfang reicht das erstmal
