The game updated and you have to wait for the Devs to update RAGE Plugin Hook to be compatible with the new game version, additionally if you have scripts that rely on ScripthookV you must also wait for them to update Scripthook as well although Scripthook is not required to play LSPDFR so once the Devs update RAGE you can still play LSPDFR. 

I see the biggest LSPDFR update ever coming then realize it probably won't support Legacy.. if you are gonna do that might be less time consuming to just scrap LSPDFR and work on getting ready for GTA 6 which legacy PC's won't run anyway. 

I have found for one if you put Shaders and Post FX to high on settings it helps lights come in, I have tried several VisualSettings for the most realistic lights and so far the best I have found is the NaturalVision Remastered better lights for LSPDFR optional visual settings.. my only problem now is that the lights look amazing when within like 10 ft of the car but if you go any further they fade out dim and turn white.. I have tried to find out how to make them look just as good as they do when you are right there close to them from afar but am stumped on how to do that.. but for the lights up close and personal this visualsettings called Brighter Emergency Lights LSPDFR optional addon with NaturalVision Remastered looks the best.. also NVR has really good graphics and shading I think.

Usually RAGE will ask if you want to back up when you get a new RAGE version otherwise you can go into RAGE Plugin Hook settings and backup the game data it backs up roughly a gig and it doesn't take too long. Otherwise updates always add new update.rpf folders so you should backup your current update.rpf in Mods because you will need to copy the new update.rpf from the new update to your mods folder to run the new update properly, then you will have to copy your mods back into the Mods folder update rpf that was updated.

I cannot setup a new character that I just created... I go into the police station and as soon as I get in the locker every time it crashes and says error in "police station manager" I don't know what that means but everytime I go near the Police LSPD HQ LSPDFR crashes often due to ambient spawn and police station interior etc. there are so many bugs and errors with the LPSD HQ... not sure why, but I never had issues going to the LSPD HQ area in 0.3. I also cannot force duty because I must go on duty and select an agency etc. but I cannot do that as LSPDFR crashes everytime I go to the locker screen.

In case this problem continues... I had this happen to me awhile back and I found a solution that others said, if you go into OpenIV uninstall and reinstall the .asi's and then restart your computer (make sure to do this before going back into the game or it will not work) once the computer has rebooted relaunch GTA and it should fix the ELS problem, it worked for me and only so far had to do it once. I had the same issue the lights would show in the ELS control panel that they were on but only tail lights.

Also if you end the game while still on duty and when  you load 0.4 again sometimes your character will be on duty and engaged in a traffic stop like the ai. After the stop then you can take control of your character.

I was wondering if there was a start fire script for SP? I personally think the firefighter mods are kinda shitty and generally just want a fire started where I can extinguish it.

It'll be Feb 2020! haha

I decided to shorten my wait for 0.4 by installing, tweaking and playing the actual version that is available, after almost a year I played GTA V last. And let me tell you, last night's duty was a "blast" 🙂
(possible wall of text)
Here's a short report:
18:06, Los Santos International: While completing arrest report for a traffic stop involving a wanted person, a nice lady decided it would be a great idea to run up to my patrol car, sit into the driver's seat and attempt to drive off. While I am standing next to the open door of my patrol car. After dragging the suspect out of the car, detaining the suspect, I noticed a smell of alcohol in her breath, breahalizer clocked in at .108, adding a DUI to the list of her charges - even if the car moved at most an inch. After filling in the arrest report and waiting for prisoner transport, I noticed that my  assault rifle needs reloading. All of the sudden, suspect is on the ground, face down, signs of life are not present. CPR failed. Cause of death: getting meele'd in the face by assault rifle. Moral of the story: always lock your car.
19:25, El Rancho Blvd: After a routine traffic stop, suspect flees the stop on foot after being asked for an ID. After giving chase, approx. 300 ft in the direction of Murrieta Oil Fields, and several verbal commands to stop, it is decided to go for less lethal option (stun gun) in the suspect's back to force the suspect to stop. Mistakes were made, most likely cause was holsters shifting while giving chase, and instead of less lethal in the back, the suspect took one 9mm. No signs of life, CPR failed, another job well done. Moral of the story: don't run.
22:05, Grove Street/Forum Drive: Regular patrol, identified a couple of "nigt workers", approached first suspect, ID'd, many fith pleads, decided to pat down. Suspect had a mascara, a dildo and a few condoms on her. No signs of intoxication, suspect was let off with a warning. Second suspect decided to flee upon request to ID herself. After forcing the suspect to stop with a less lethal option, I was involved in shooting with approx. 50 bystanders .... Panic was signaled through radio.... The rest is a bit of a blur. Glad to say I made a full recovery after being treated in the nearest medical facility. Moral of the story: grove street bad.
 
Aren't you glad I aint a real police officer  ?? 😄 
Can't wait for tonight's duty! I sync my game time to system time, so I always get night shifts. But they be funny 😄

Am I the only one that logged on to the site, saw the red banner and thought .4 was released for a few milliseconds till I actually read the banner? lol

The ambient events thing will be great! Other night I was playing and had an instance where a random AI started shooting at me and I requested backup but they didn't shoot at the perp they just stood there.. I have the plugin addon thing where you can press either CTRL or SHIFT T and start a pursuit on them so the other AI cops target them but it just puts the suspect from shooting to flee mode. This new ambient event where AI cops can join in will be awesome, also looking forward to the new flashlight animation and Character life mode thing... as well as the other features and potential easter eggs not mentioned!

How is this mod coming along? It would be awesome to roleplay turning on the snow mod, and driving down the road in a snow plow, too bad with the current snow mod tracks you can't actually push snow off the road, that would be cool, but either way just driving a snow plow in it would be fun! Great work, take your time, if you are still working on this I am very excited for it!

Yes.
IRL, you have two 'types' of modes. Moving and stationary, I've simulated these...
Moving modes:
Front/same direction Front/opposite direction Rear/same direction Rear opposite direction Stationary modes: (IRL you have to hit a little button, but this will just take care of it automatically... <10mph = stationary)
Front, same and opposite direction Rear, same and opposite direction In addition to these modes, there is a 'fastest mode' switch.
In normal mode (IRL), the radar works by returning the strongest signal returned to the antenna - this can quite often be the largest vehicle on the roadway, or the closest vehicle. Imagine that it's a video camera - it'll return the vehicle that takes the most screen space... basically... (closer vehicles = more screen area) In fastest mode (IRL), the radar works by returning the fastest signal returned back to the antenna, irregardless of other signals. This allows law enforcement to capture the speed of a motorcycle passing a semi - whereas in normal mode the speed of the semi would be returned. Normal mode in the script will return the closest vehicle - It'll take ages to sort through vehicle sizes in GTA, so that's the most performance friendly, most realistic way to do it. Fastest mode in the script will count each and every vehicle in the capture area until it finds the fastest, and return the speed of that.

Having this problem too, only thing I can think is literally every new script download is blocked, so DLLs and regular configs xmls etc. everything including some new audio for LSPDFR scanner, I went in and unblocked all of those, with the exception of a few traffic police audio files as I didn't wanna waste more time going through each one unblocking in properties.. gonna try this and see if it works, Favignano was playing the Tornado mod just fine yesterday, so hopefully I can get it to work, I really wanna try that mod haha, but even before the update, everything was going good on RAGE 26 then one day it started crashing, didn't touch any addons or update but the whole HOOK crashed, same thing is happening, it loads the callouts as I can hear them then just before it goes in game RAGE crashes and all it says is HOOK, not a specific plugin so don't know what the issue is, maybe unblocking everything I did will help I don't know hope so though!

And I just hit "No" when asked if I'd like to back up my files lol. DAMN IT I should've listened hahaha!!!
