A Police Computer Plugin for LSPDFR.

Installation

  • Move all files and folders from the ZIP file into your GTA main directory

Setup

  • When going on duty using LSPDFR, ExternalPoliceComputer will display notifications in-game containing the addresses, used to access EPC
  • If you missed them, ExternalPoliceComputer also generates a file including the addresses: EPC/ipAddresses.txt
  • You can access EPC using any browser of your choice (however I recommend a Chromium based browser, e.g. Chrome, Brave, etc.) by entering one of the addresses (if one doesn't work, try the other)

Setup using Steam overlay

  • In Steam go to Steam → Settings → In Game
  • Make sure Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game is enabled
  • Set Overlay shortcut key(s) to whatever key you want to use to open ExternalPoliceComputer
  • Set Web browser home page to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (or the url provided by EPC)

UI Usage

Desktop

  • In the center of the taskbar you'll find an EPC icon, clicking it will open the Control Panel
  • Here you can enter information about yourself (Officer Information) and start or end your shift

Reports

  • All reports include a section for general, officer and location information which will be auto filled, but can be changed
  • The report ID can not be changed
  • The status can be used in the reports list to filter; When a report has a status of canceled it is considered delete, however you are still able to access the report
  • Reports created while on duty (shift menu on control panel), will be added to the current shift
  • There also is a notes section that can be used to describe the incident or to give more information on what happened

Incident reports

  • Incident reports can be used for all kind of reporting that don't fit in any of the other categories (there will be more later :))
  • You can, but don't have to, enter the names of offenders and witnesses or victims

Citation and arrest reports

  • The given charges will be added to the offender, if the offender exists, when creating the report
  • If you're using PolicingRedefined you can give citations to the offender using the ped menu

Ped Lookup

  • Entering and searching for a person's name will show various information about that person
  • Clicking on the citation/arrest area in the history section, you can open a new report for that ped

Vehicle Lookup

  • Entering and searching for a vehicle's license plate or VIN will show various information about that vehicle
  • Clicking on the owner area in the basic information area will open the ped search for the vehicle's registered owner

Shift History

  • Here you can find all your prior shifts
  • Reports created during a shift are linked
