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 agree. Modding always took me like 2-3 days to do it with my method. Of course, my method was the most tedious and there were other ways, I just like it that way. But this new method does sound like it will make stuff a lot easier in terms of adding mods.

It's been a while since our last major update, and as you might've guessed from the title, there's a good reason for this... It has taken us a lot of work to get to this point but we can finally proudly announce our latest project: Lenny's Mod Loader.
 
Modding. Reinvented.
Most people on this forums will have had their fair share of issues when it comes to installing mods, be it that you replaced the file in the wrong place, forgot to reinstall mods after an update or just found yourself in a situation without any installation instructions at all. We aim to make this a thing of the past and focus on what modding should be: fun! With Lenny's Mod Loader you can replace files and load new mods with just a few clicks - without ever touching an RPF. Many mods, such as addon vehicles, can even be loaded directly from the website into your running game, allowing you to quickly test our new vehicles in a matter of seconds.
 
Many mods can be loaded directly into your running game - just one click away!
 
 
Release Information
Lenny's Mod Loader will be released later this year as a beta test. We are currently looking at a public release around December, but might release a little earlier if testing goes well. Being a completely new project, we would like to get in as much test coverage as possible to ensure a smooth public release. This is why we will make LML available as early access software for our Community Insiders.
 
Future Development
We are only at the beginning of our journey and there are still many things that we would like to add to Lenny's Mod Loader. Ultimately we hope to provide you with a fully-fledged user interface to easily manage your mods, all integrated into our website to make sharing and discovering new mods as easy as possible. We hope you will join and support us on our way and are looking forward to your suggestions on how we can make modding more fun for everyone!

@SgtneilsonBPD I highly recommend using Albo1125's Modding DLC, as suggested by lovkal. What this does, is, inside your mods folder, creates a dlc pack/patchday called "MODDING". What this does is allows you to put all your mods into one single dlc.rpf, and not have to worry about working out which patchday you need to put your mods into! 🙂 
 
Also, a big welcome to the community.

Very in-depth and helpful! I didn't know that keybind overlaps could cause so many crashes.

Here Is my Progress on the Wauwatosa Police Pack... It has a long way to go;
What I need to Do (As of 5/1/19) (Incomplete list);
 
- I need to create variations of the 96 Vic
- Pictured Below I need to replace the current 96 Vic one the sirens conflict with the rotators that are on the Caprice
- I need to look at a 98 Crown Vic to Redo The Livery on that as Pictured below it has no reflection on the car and replace that <- 50%
- I might create Uniforms which look similar to the LSPD so It will just need to be a badge and colour replace
- I would need to add an 1988 - 90 Caprice Livery 
- I might model a 1997 - 2004 dodge intrepid 
- If the 2003 Impala template exists (I have not checked I will make a Livery on that.) <- Done
- Definitely Upgrade my Graphics lol

I'd go with the i5-8500.
Scratch that, the Ryzen 5 2600X is a lot cheaper and it seems to be a tiny bit worse than the i5 8600, but it's barely noticeable so go with the Ryzen.

What fantastic news. I only ever played the Halo Custom Edition on the PC, and it's always been a bit of a dream to play the saga on PC. I am indeed looking forward to this!

Man, this thread is a dumpster fire full of ridiculousness.
 
Having read through the majority of the comments, I have yet to see a single reasonable request of the staff of the website. I have no idea how people expect their work to be made public on any website, and also be protected from theft, etc. You're trying to impose an impossible task upon the staff, of which the only solutions are to not post the content, or to only allow a select list of pre-screened people to download the item (Which is a nonsensical solution for a website of this nature).
 
The staff hosting the content on your behalf, only makes them responsible in so far as whether the content breaches their own rules, or applicable laws. That's like expecting walmart to prevent people from renting the movies purchased at their store to other people, or from people taking their item purchased on sale from  Walmart, and trying to return it for full price at Zellars. The site is a point of distribution, not a content management system on your behalf.
 
The effort required to circumvent additional security measures, such as requiring a membership, is so laughingly small compared to the effort to rip models/extract source code/etc., that it would only actually serve to hamper legitimate users. I also have no idea what the expectation of people is if they were to actually move to a different site to publicly release their model's. Public by nature means they will be accessible to the very people you wish to be protected from, as they are an unfortunate part of said public.
 
I also find it funny that content creators here are using the excuse "well, have you ever had your content stolen?", as if that provides any special perspective on the situation. Im in the opposite boat, in that I can't release any of my created content (only skins), because each one borrow's from someone else's work in some capacity, and i respect the author's wishes of the borrowed content. I don't need my content to be stolen, to have the perspective that having content stolen sucks.
 
Even banning a person becomes an iffy proposition, as different people can have the same username for different applications. Evidence only goes so far to say that a person named billy-joe-bob on discord (As an example) ripped the files, when the same billy-joe-bob on here could be from an entirely different country.
 
As to the way staff treated "the community", I didn't see the original thread, however this thread really isn't making me sympathize, as reasonableness is quite clearly not a requirement for entry.
 

Honestly, I dont know what happened, and I dont really care. You people are the undisputed queens of drama. The vast majority are completely incapable of simply communicating their issues in a civilized, intelligent manner, and certainly incapable of having any patience at all with a staff that does this entirely in their free time.  I get people are upset over something, but going on a rant and attacking staff is simply not the answer. Grow up and have some patience.

I didn't read all this topic, because I don't like flushing my time down the toilet. But I just have to comment on the expectations of users that this site should pursue your content on other sites, on other servers, in other jurisdictions.
 
Here is a bullet point of GitHub's DMCA procedure:
 
If your content is stolen, you, your lawyer or some other designated person is responsible for making a DMCA claim against the site or hosting provider hosting it. Not me, not Sam Houser, not your great aunt's dog. YOU!
 
Just as I have filed DMCA requests for my mods. I didn't demand someone else who's hosting my mods do it for me.
 
Just as has probably been done when LCPDFR or LSPDFR are hosted elsewhere without permission or decompiled.
 
It's unlikely that most vehicle mods even are valid copyright claims anyway. Surely EA, Ubi or whoever should be making that claim against a vehicle taken from their game. Or Ford, Dodge or whatever company owns them trademarks. Or the emergency department or company who's logos are being used.
 
And if locking mods is no longer effective, maybe complain to Oleg that your overpriced ZMod subscription doesn't feel worth it any more. But I'm sure he'll tell you that it is impossible for any file to be protected against reverse engineering, decryption, ripping, decompiling, etc. without preventing users from obtaining that file in the first place.

I see. I'm sure you're well aware that ripping will never stop and cannot be stopped, so why lock models in the first place?  Why not give the resources used to the public for use on other models? I understand that you put your own money into it, but that won't stop anyone. I'm a developer and I can't recall ever trying to stop someone from accessing source code to something I've made. Maybe it's just the way I think and my belief that sharing is caring, but it seems to do more harm than good when you lock something because then shit like this happens.

I already checked as soon as you brought this up because it was something I had never heard before.  Two other staff members confirmed to me that what you described did not happen, and I checked myself through the moderation history.  I'll say this one more time - he was not banned.

... Show me? I havent been on this website in months idk who you think I am or something maybe read my name again what??? I'm so mindblown by your lack of research and bullshit.
 
1. I take a few packs down because they lack the current quality of my models.
2. I continue modding and putting up new packs.
3. Months or weeks later I quit, I find there are issues in the control of the FR staff, I don't like that, and I decide to step away until they improve it.
4. They improve it. I come back. Those packs stay down.
 
What's the issue?

I mean, again, maybe my word doesn't mean anything but that just didn't happen lol. Maybe ask the mods or something for a log, that just never happened. Solid argument tho.
 
I complained about the LSPDFR staff because of things that were in their control, and about the community in general. Honestly I understand all of your problems I hate ripping and all that shit, I get it man, and you're all saying "do more to protect the members" do WHAT? Ban them? Write a strongly worded thread against it?? I dont know what you want because none of those would work and you know that.

Who... are you? That was literally the worst response I've ever gotten in a debate on the internet. I have never in my 3 years of being on FR removed all my stuff. I've never in my 3 years of being on FR removed stuff because parts were stolen. I've never complained about stolen parts... What the fuck are u talking about? lmao
 
 
 
What? So you're comparing me quitting because of the lack of LSPDFR updates, and lack of interest to a group of modders collectively boycotting the plugin they mod for because the staff wont do something they have no control over?

Okay so another quick update/screenshots.
 
I have been working on a function to view/add/edit/delete custom departments, or view the default ones.
CitationOne will come with some default departments, which can be found in LSPDFR.
 
These screenshots are subject to changes, and may be changed in the final version.
 
    
 
Also, in a future update, you will be able to keep track of the statistics per department/agency (like arrests per department, or citations).
With this feature you will be able to:
Add/edit your own department; Add a custom logo for your department; Add a custom description for your department; The custom logo, name etc will be added to the Citation/Arrest rapports PDF's. These departments will not be visible to other users (I'm thinking about being able to share them (for roleplay)). For now I consider this function done, let me know if you have some suggestions about this (or CitationOne).

Awesome!
Will there be any uniforms for other city police departments in the future? Vinewood PD, Rockford Hills PD, Paleto Bay PD and so on?

So obviously not everything made the cut for 0.4. And one I'm sad to see not there is the Scenario (included in quote) feature which was featured quiet significantly in the ''The Technology'' 0.4 News update. 
 
 
 
I understand LSPDFR is not made by a game company but rather a few talented and passionate coders/modders with limited time, and this post is not to bash on anything, but is this feature still something thats being worked on, or did it prove too complex? The unpredictability of traffic stops sounded so interesting. 
 
 

Screens from ou Discord server in the wipshowcase channel (not in the video) besure to join the server to stay up to date with developpement an news.

Not in my plans:
-Vinewood PD
-Paleto Bay PD

Comments and questions regarding EUP have exploded since LSPDFR 0.4, I'm breaking the silence today with news and showcase material.
 
First has been quite a year for my self, lots of changes in my life. EUP was on hold for I don't know how long, but I feel great and myself and the team had been working hard over the past few months not only to bring new content but basically a new mod, yup don't look for a changelog in the next update. Initial release baby. So much have changed and it's nothing like the current official release and let's be honest I have not written down anything about changes in EUP 8.0. Hope you will enjoy this trailer I made quickly.
 
 
 
This year we made an amount of 2200$ with my new Patreon page, all thanks to supporters for their contributions in the developpement of this mod. With these contributions I was able to replace my dead computer and cover the fees for software that I use to make this mod. For more information about contributions and tiers visit the Patreon page or our Discord
 
Of course EUP - Serve & Rescue is getting a makeover aswell 


 
I think the previews says it all, but if there is any question just ask. No I have don't have a release date, but you can expect an update dropping in March or maybe a couple of days if we're lucky enough.
 
Cheers!
 

I've done the same thing, but then I think about how mad I get when my game breaks and I have to reinstall the whole game or go through and reinstall my vehicles and stuff into a fresh mods folder.
 
So thinking about that makes me more patient with installing things one by one.  

I do not believe so, however a good tip would be don't install more than one thing at once. Don't go on a download spree and add everything into your mods folder at once. Then you don't know which file you added caused the crash. Instead, add one mod at a time. Load the game fully, and I like to even load LSPDFR (force duty) to make sure everything is in working order. Then go install the next mod to your mods folder.
 
This may seem like a pain in the a** but it'll be worth it.

You need to edit Backup.xml to have your agency as LocalPatrol for that Region.
 

You're missing audioNameHash most likely. If it just says <audioNameHash /> replace it like below, you can use SHERIFF or POLICE.
 
<ptfxAssetName>null</ptfxAssetName>
<audioNameHash>POLICE</audioNameHash>
