I agree. Try this first if it still happens then to me it is likely a corrupt file that has to be managed.

Could he just run it the first time play for 5 minutes then exit and then go back in (point of contention) - then alt tab out unless it crashes either way he can check windows + R type in eventvwr and see if something throws red flag icon (red triangle with exclamation point) this would indicate the corrupt file. If it is a corrupt file - likely on his own end as lspdfr is working for all of us just fine - he may need to reconcile it. If there is none then issue could be software side but it is highly unlikely. Just a thought. @akcasoft it is the most sound way to diagnose in the beginning. However, be very careful of what you reconcile and disclaimer for me: this is just another way to detect issues however from your first post i would assume you aren't very tech savvy (maybe you are) so I would only do it if you feel comfortable doing so. I have zero liability if you do this.

I understand now. Thank you. I really do appreciate your work amongst others on here.

But if non developers see this I want them to know what makes a developer special isn’t the fact he can manually write code it is his ideas that make him or her special. Like LSPDFR was a very novel idea and that’s why it’s so popular not because cyan could write code. Non devs don’t even know what it took to write it lol but they see the awesome idea he had and turned into the greatest mod on the net. The coding aspect is just a divider amongst each other. Whether someone read it from a book and wrote every line or in today’s world someone leveraged the LLM to cut down on keystrokes. If you do this someone else will just find a way to get their mod out there. Another site will populate that you can’t contest with because only rockstar owns the rights to the game itself. So I get the we could stop all AI but it’s not feasible without forcing another actor onto the stage and I nor you want someone competing with LSPDFR.

Like I originally said, I didn’t want to debate or argue. Just clarification. Which you provided. I appreciate it. Moving forward I’ll keep in mind how it will be perceived and ask if I’m ok with the perception of any work I do. Thank you.

Writing it is as simple as knowing what directives you need then knowing what classes and objects you intend to use then using the documentation for shvdn or rph that was translated after that it’s the logic to get it to fire using ontick and start etc. so if someone knows how to write the code and just has AI do the mundane parts it sounds as if you didn’t write every single line yourself you didn’t make the mod. I get people just using AI entirely. What I’m saying is it clumps those who leverage it with those who rely on it entirely. I could literally prompt the entire LLM to write the script lol and get it to work flawlessly because I know to avoid certain things like gta v’s native hex codes because I understand how the engines work. GTA V used hex code, ragepluginhook deciphered them then a documentation manual with the wrapped naming conventions associated with the output of the hex gave modders the ability to inject their own variant. Or I could have it build my skeleton and I handle the logic because it’ll be easier since it has nuances. And yes everyone starts from somewhere for those of you who started before AI it was textbooks and meetups the former being a “sort” of AI since it’s coming from a an external source “a book” from someone who happened to know it. They’re both external sources lol. And I’ve met tons of developers who were carrying those gigantic three ring binders as referencing tools. So we make fun of the person that leverages AI, which has a vast and very quick library recall over the guy that wants to manually comb through possibly 1000 pages of text to find the same thing that the LLM would find in a second and I find that hilarious. But, my point is I either write the entirety of the file or be clumped with prompters who can’t figure out why it’s crashing their game or what even makes it work. Same could be said for someone who reads it out of a book. Someone already wrote it. You didn’t just know how to write the code at birth. And you yourself likely referenced a ton of pre-written material that was later transferred to the web. If you used any textbook you are the same as someone using AI because it also got its references from a textbook uploaded to the internet.

I don’t applaud myself on remembering every single syntax or method as these can be easily found in hard cover books and the internet (heck the compiler tells you now) and autocomplete is AI lol copilot etc is embedded in these softwares. I prize remembering structure which is why I can use cs cpp py Lua Swift etc. I’m not upset I get it - people who don’t understand code let alone the structure are able to do something once seen as “genius” level only and it kills the narrative that developers had. But it was never their ability to write code it was their ideas that made them genius. Again thank you, and if you could expand on and maybe educate non dev’s about the difference between letting an LLM write the whole code compared to leveraging that would be great. After all transparency is a two way street. And right now it’s a one-way mirror observing and interrogating those who use it professionally.
